GOVERNOR HOBBY TELLS WHAT
WILL HAPPEN IF KAISER WINS WAR
Br J. W. H(K)PK.
11 11 (.... in. 1 Pcucral lu no Bank Pallas Tesas
A good friend patriotic to tbs backbone wrote yesterday to the
federal Ileaerve bank aeylng:
"Do you really believe all thasa atorlas of the danier of Oerman
Invasion? Do you balleya It llkaly the Germana will avar endeavor
to forre a landing In thla country burn our (arms and Ill-treat our
woman 7"
The question ia an Important one and wlahlns to sat a repre-
aanlstlve reply wa asked (luvernor W. 1. Hobby to let us have hla
views on ths subject. Hare. hsy are:
"aermaoy Is deep. rate ana atrlpped of almost everything but ma-
larial naosssary for war parpases. Gold raw material for manufac-
tures sha must have Boon or pariah aa a commercial nation. Once
a defeat wars Inflicted upon our allies where would Germany look
for those things? Not to man snd money-depleted Ensland or
France hut to the one country In the world alone able to supply
her needs. Further than title It la not necessary to go. Tba condi-
tion referred to ere fraught with ersry horrible possibility.
Again Gar man Invasion earn be accomplished without shelling
New fork or oelvsston harbor A peace treaty forced lipon us by
defeat would small of course a huge money Indemnity equal per-
napa to a dosan IJberty Losas.
"But even mora esrlous and far-reaching would be ths reatrlr-
tlona of our trade In favor of our Oermea oompstllora. As neutrala
wa rere told we could deal only with certain countries; tost ws
could sell ahlp. only at certain times and In certain sones.
"As a defeated foa what laetructlona would wa be llksly to receive
from Berlin T
Germany would see te It thst her workmen wars pitted Indue-
trtslly againat our wall-paid well-fed well-educated workers One
of taro things would happen se I see It Hither wa relinquish our
trade to Germany's cheap production or have oar workmen sink to
the level of the comparatively underpaid end underfed tollers who
fill the German cities.
"Itsatrlciiiina of our manufactures and production must Inevitably
follow defeat by Germany. Iteatrtrtloa means low prices unemploy-
ments national stagnation.
"Any way roa look at thla matter we muat prevent German In-
vasion Tbe am présalo n la somewhat colloquial but I feai tempted
to repeat a logan uaad lu Utla campaign: 'ir YOU OO NOT COME
