6.-To set forth completely my
opinion, / should add that In the final

through their government, should say
to the commission:
I'VE want to 60 and do this job in
such a manner as, after study, you
think it should be done. This is no
ordinary undertaking. The American
people trust you to see that it is done
right" "
J. would also say to the commits
sioa:
use SO much Of this money as is
needed" Personally, I am confident
that with the assistance and CO.
operation which would come from
other, parts of the world, the sum of
$5O0,0OO,ON from the United States
would be more than enough to start
these countries on their way to self
support and the restoration of normal
conditions.
The whole plan, Of course, involves
many practical considerations, the
most serious of which is that of OBJ
tanning the money, whether by issuing
additional Liberty bonds, an increase
in the floating debt, or by taxation.
But I think we could properly say to
the treasury department.:
1--WE know how serious your fnan-
cial problems are !; we know the diff
culties which are Immediately con-
fronting you; we know the Importance
of defiation, and we know that the
government must economic and that
individuals must economic, but we
also know that the American govern
ment advanced $780, 600, 100000 to it's
allies to attain victory and peace.
Certainly it is worth making the ad-
ditional advance in order to realize
the peace for which we have already
struggled, for nothing is more certain
than that until normal conditions are
restored in Europe there can be no
peace"
Above all things, I would say that
whatever aetien is taken should be
taken Immediately. The crisis is so
acute that the situation does. not
admit of delay, except with the posi-
bility of consequences one hardly
dares contemplate.
The situation that l have spread out
here is far beyond the scope of indi-
Nidual charity. Only by the action of

all of their losses, would help to the
best Of their ability.

UNUSUAL BATTERY LIFE

Every M in a while," says Mr..

ing service from their batteries.
GAS a matter of fact, I don't know
why they can't if they will real
ly give their batteries honest and un-
failing care. This stuff about a short
life and a merry one, that the pessimic
motorist is forever pulling about his
battery, is mostly bunk. Starting and
lighting batteries will live and do
their work a whole lot longer than
most people think, as I said before
they're given a fair chance. I've got
a bunch of letters in my office now

Most Effective Ways of Guard

very few if any grasshoppers Matched
