Rev. Willsie Martin Sounds
Keynote of Gathering by Say
ing Loan Is a Bridge of Con-
fidence Over Gulf of War;"


when he said:
1.-The victory loan l regard as a
bridge of confidence over the gulf of
war; as an expression of thanksgiving
and as a memorable recognition and
creditto the men who fought and turn
ed the tide of victory to our arms
Continuing further, Rev. Matrin, in
q speech that thrilled his hearers and
was enthusiastically received, said:
Idaho should carry the victory loan
over because it is a part Of our war
debt. In my mind, the most important
reason why we should reach our quota
Is that we should keep our honor. Bill
lions of dollars have been contracted
for in debts, and Americas word has
been given to pay. We are not Huns,
and scrap OF paper for a contract
carries national obligation and we
must discharge 1t. The loan Is but ex-
tending our credit to the government;
keeping faith with ourselves. and max
ing an expression of faith, honor and
patriotism"
