Germany. He added, however, that
there was no time to work out the
problem before the change in admin
strations next month.
"The fault will be ours" he assert
ed, because as we are the only great
nation which could maintain enoa-
nous establishments on land and
sea without bankruptcy, without be-
ing condemned to bear indefinitely
and add today's frightful load OF ma
tional debt. 1t is out duty to lead the
way toward relief from the present
and future burdens OF war-like expen.
ditures, which irksome and oppressive
TO US, would be unbearable to other
nations.
More than that, It Is our duty to
lead the way, because strangely
enough. we are the only great nation
that, since the world war, has official.
iy taken a position favorable to the
increase rather than the decrease Of
ornaments and warlike expenditures.
