did the men-at German general head
quarters" states Mr. Franklin, but
the fact that America was preparing
for a drive on Berlin struck terror to
the general staff.
"And those millions and billions of
dollars spent were far from being
wasted in an unnecessary preparation.
l feel that the fact that money was
spent and that an enormous output of
munitions was ready was the control
ling factor in the weakening of the
German general staff, and that it caus-
ed their message to the kaiser that
they were beaten and that he must
sue for peace. And the way l see 1t
is that this money, instead Of being
wasted, can be written down as hav-
ing saved the lives of hundred Of
thousands Of American men who
would have been sacrificed had the
war continued another year.
"That is the money we are going
to ask the American people for in the
Liberty Loan. We are going to ask
them for the money to bring our boys
home safe and sound, instead of leav-
ing them buried in France. And
when the people of America realize
what this money did, we are not go
ing to find that they are lacking In
patriotism to come across"
