A Straight Deal

CHAPTER II: What the Postman Brought
22/26

Have we fallen so low, this great and powerful nation ?...

Truckling to some other power because its backing, moral or physical, may some day be of use to us, even tho' we know that in so doing we are surrendering our dearest rights, principles, and dignity!...

Oh! my dear Sir, you surely do not advocate this?
I inclose an editorial clipping....

Is it no shock to you when Winston Churchill shouts to High Heaven that under no circumstances will Great Britain surrender its supreme control of the seas?
This in reply to President Wilson's plea for freedom of the seas and curtailment of armaments....

But as you see, our President and our Mr.Daniels have already said, 'Very well, we will outbuild you.' Never again shall Great Britain stop our mail ships and search our private mails.
