III what you say is true this is very

today in the same situation as it was
before Congress declared war on Ger

to be nuisance. In the third class
were the neutrals' and the T-don't-
care citizens who were too busy
making money and looking after their
own interests to be concerned with
the affairs OF their own country and
their neighbors.
I'VE defeated Germany because we
united as people and a nation
against an organization which was
striking at the very heart Of our lib 4
erty and government. Today we arc
faced by another critical period. There
are millions of Americans who are
against bolshevism. There are a few

agents did. And there IL the third

as confident Of that as I was that this
country would unite and sacrifice to
defeat the German government.
