the Uvboata though our people

peace with Germany without warn-

tjravei never a word did we hear
from the ftps of Mr. Slayden In de-
nunciation of the lavage and bar-
barlo tendencies of the war lords
of the Hunsi but Helen to htm when
ho speaka in opposition to this bill-
He said! 'I have heard the sug-
gestion made but as a jut I hope
that the only way wo can get ehlpe
until long after the great European
war will certainly end either from
hauitlon or from decisive victory
on the field of battle i to pick a
quarrel with Germany and seize
hr ships that eought security in
ur porta that they had reason to
belhjve wero neutral. Of caurie
that method of building up an
American merchant marine i not
henoreblo and would be revolting
to gentlemen would bring upon ut
the aontempt of the allies whom it
would help.' Can you conceive of
any gentleman's sensibilities being
outraged after the record made by
the treachery and the avarhse of
those leader of Germany who
count solemn treaties as mere
scrap of paper and whose warring
mlllhjnt burn efties outrage de-
f ensile i swomen and mutilate help
less children?

supporters of this and that plan
have presented their views. I refer ;
to these whoso vievt are henett I

military activities for profit e-

makers and other traders who
would Involve the universe In war
and send scouting parties to Mars

in war bonds that they want the
taxpayers of the United States to
endorse.'
