Another war will cost between fifty and one hundred billion dollars. and that. added to our already staggering national debt of almost $45.000.000.000. would most assuredly tear asunder our financial structure. This would mean the eventual repudiation of governmental stocks and bonds and other obligations. And when this happens. the constitutional form of government our forefathers fought and bled for. will be in grave danger. The founders of our great Nation fled from the selfsame persecution in Europe more than two centuries ago. and there are thousands and thousands of refugees fleeing the same conditions in Europe today. We cannot let it happen here. What did the World War gain us?
