the switch. I am hopeful. too, that
all will realize the price our young
people must some day pay for the
present expenditures and brief
respite from unemployment. Hit
Ter has no idea of invading the
United States as long as our peo-
pie are prosperous. He however.
believes, that through labor and
political discussions, unemploy-
ment will be so great and our peo-
pie so divided that we will turn
to Fascism as a remedy.
As my grandchildren constantly
remind me, times have changed.
Our conception of money and
wealth will change. 1t no longer
takes money, as we know it. to
finance Germany. If 1t were of any
real value, the gold which we
have buried at Fort Knox would
guarantee our own and England's
salvation. No. money is today OF
little real value. We must have
tangible resources, the courage to
sacrifice, and the character to
keep our heads.
