TN spite OF the sore wounds inflicted

! that weigh 50 heavily on the shoulders
| OF her people, still wo arc fully con-
scious that France must defend her
security. We have been able to do
that so far. because, as President Butler
50 aptly stated. France Is not fighting
for her security. she is fighting in the
service Of the whole civilized world.

cause she is obliged TO have ono In

! In whatever form they may present
themselves. Remember what happened
but few months ago. There was an
inroad, wild rush, from the far cast
ern portion of Europe against Poland.
THE barrier stood firm, in spite OF
| the people who on rhe other side OF
Poland, were negotiating with the Rus
SLAMS to join them. Think what would
have happened IL tho barrier had not

anarchy It would find itself at the pres
ent time. And why. gentlemen. did
Poland succeed in stopping the onrush?
1t was because the French army was
there. do not mean TO say that the
French army actually fought but the
fact was known that the French army
was there, and that fact In itself was
conclusive TO stop disorder and anarchy
on its road.

ings of the French people. think of the
