that attacks on bases which effect

consequences.
1T is suicide to wait" the Presi-

if you wait until you see the whites
of their eyes you'll never know
what hit you. Our Bunker Hill of
tomorrow may be several thousand
miles from Boston"
Patrols are being extended in the

as imminent danger to our national
well being and our democratic form
of government.
nj proclaiming an unlimited ma

clared articles of defense must have

Dor and labor, capital and capital
and capital and labor must be set
aside while the supreme effort is
made in building our defenses to
give all aid out TO Britain and at
the same time to build our own dc
lenses to assure safety.
