To get the background for

back TO 1895, when the fam
Gus arms embargo was posed,
following disclosures Of the

belief that the powder and

Of we'll, trouble mokers.
Statutes dealing with keep
ing America out Of war were
amended in 1926 and 1887
but the arms enboroo provi-
sion was retained. Then in
1899 the administration be-
gan to feel that the arms en-
barge might be dangerous,
that the situotion in Europe
was changing to such on ex-
tent that it might be desirable
for the United Stotes TO export
arms, just to help keep it out

HAVE You BOUGHT YOUR
DEFENSE eOND3

Yes. there IS something you con do!
You con buy Defense Bonds. The re-
suit Of their sale thus for indicates thot
not nearly enough people are buckling
down 10 their Job. Lending the govern
ment port Of whatever money you can
spare is port Of that job
In the first two weeks Of their sole,
about q quarter Of billion dollars
worth Of Defense Bonds and Savings
Storps have been bought Thot is
not nearly enough. II it we're enough
the government would not have to 90
out to roise another huge loan at this
time by selling ordinary bonds to the
banks.
Once more, let US repeot the odvon-
toges of the Defense Bond plan. When
the government sells bonds to banks,
that simply expands the notionoI credit
base. Initiation is brought nearer. But
when you buy Defense Bonds, you lend
your octuol money to the government.
What you lend is not spent now, and
what is not spent does not help to
raise prices unduly, which is another
word for initiation.
Defense Bonds ore debt with q
double purpose, thot is, to keep down
spending Of excess money, which, too
freely spent, tends to force prices up.
They connot depreciote in doIIor value,
but grew each year in such way that
500 foce value bond bought now for
SIS pays out at 500 ten yeors hence,
or at on appropriate fraction Of thot
any time you need the money. The 3D.
vantage of all this is that people will
be cosi1ine in those bonds later, at q
time when business and money in cir
cuIotion ore contracting. 1t will be
needed then, and it's spending will be
q national benefit instead Of q national
inflotionory threat os it may be today.
A qucrter of billion dollars is chick
en-feed in relation to the vost amounts
that must be spent for defense, wheth-
er there is war or not. Ifyou're making
good money today, and many people
are, better set some Of it aside in De-
tense Bonds or Savings Stamps. Your
bank or your post-offioe will tell you
about them.
The slower the response is to this
effort to get people to invest savings
voluntarily, the greater will be the cry
for compulsory savings" or "deferred
wages" plan on the keynes model. We
still have complete foith thot Ameri-
cans will prefer to do the Job Of their
Own free will.

NOT TOO STRONG,
UT STRONG ENOUGH

Every American is deeply concerned
todoy with preserving democratic Inst'-
tutions Our love Of freedom is redou-.
bleo by seeing the piteous plight OF
peoples who have lost it.
So, because people ore octivoted by
..xiolent feelings, one h e ors violent
words. This one or that one ought to
be hanged" Thot one or the other
ought to be made to shut up. Various
psopIe wont to hang or shut UP vorious
other people, according to their oPIn-
ions. ;,
This very violence Of feeling and Of
speech leads us back to central prob
lem Of democracy which Lincoln survey
"a in 1854, and on which he COMMENT
Cd in words as wise as any American
ever applied to practical politics:
"lt hos long been q grave quss-
tion,." no sold, whether any govern
umsnt, not too strong for the liberties
of ito people, can b strong enough
h @ meintein 10 existence in greet
emergencies.
Those words we're spoken by Lin
toIn at time Of great emergency. He
had the practical problem to face, just
as We have it to foce today. Waves OF
conflicting emotion sweep across the
country todoy just as in 1854. We. too,
face the same grave question. We must
keep our free institutions as strong as
they need to be to preserve them, yet
not too strong for the liberties Of the
people. We must keep production roll
Ira, 50 as to 30 dble to defend denoc-
rocy from threotSfron without, yet we
must keep II rolling in such way thot
& essentiol spirit is not destroyed with
II.
II is that spirit which will essential
y preserve it in the long run, and MOTH
ing else.
Those who remember the World
War know that in an emergency such
as We foee today things cannot go on
"os usual"
Business cannot 90 on "os usual"
Labor cannot 90 on "os usual"
There will be, in the urgent inter
est Of maintaining the governments
existence, some infrngements on the
ways and even the liberties Of normal
peaceful life.
Yet we have turned the balances in
that direction before, and yet ofterword
recovered our normal liberties. In times
Of grove emergency, we have several
times leaned toward that strength re-
CURED to mointoin our existence Eoch
time we have been able to turn the boI-
once book, to show that that strength
was not, in the long run, too strong for
the liberties Of the people, This we can
