he called attention to the country’s
need of their assistance during the
coming year in winning the war. The
message was sent through the Farm-
era' Conference being held at the Uni-
verslty of lllinois at Urbana.
The message was delivered by Prea-
ident James of the University of Il-
so linois. in the absence of Secretary of
Agriculture Houston, who was to bare

The prllldent'a message said:
”i am very sorry indeed that i can-
not be present in person at the Ur-
bana conference. i should like to en-
ter the benefit' of the inspiration and
exchange of counsel which i know i

greatest that free men have ever un-

i'l'hs rulers of Germany’had sought to
{exercise their power in such a way as
'to shut off our economic life so far
as our fntercouse with 'Europe was
concerned, and to confine our people
'within the Western Hemisphere.
while they accomplished purposes
'which would have permanently im-
paired and impeded every process of
our national life and have Wt the for-
tunes of America at the mercy of the
Imperial GovernmentofGermany. This
was no threat. It had become a real-
ity. Their hand of violence had been
laid upon our own people and our own
property in flagrant violation not on-
ly of Justice, but of the well-recent»
ed and long-standing covenants of in-
ternational law and treaty. We are
fighting. therefore, as truly for the
liberty and self-government of the
I
United States as if the war of ourL
own revolution had to be fought over
again, and every man in every bust;
peas in the United States must know,
by this time that his whole fortune
lies In the balance. Our national life
and our whole economic development
will pass under the sinister influences
of foreign control if we do not win.
We must win, therefore, and we shall
win. 1 need not ask you to pledge
your lives and fortunes with those of
the rest of the nation to the accom-
pllahment of that great end.
