N. Chester, U. S. N, retired. The exact condition in the Mesopotamia fields was made known to the President by his callers and he was told that quick action is necessary on the part of the government if the agression on the part of other natio especially Great Britain, is to be headed off “The supply of come @ real problem with cording to the ev Representative Kess Regarding the s he s further, “Our industrial life is larg based upon the in the source of our concer: de rmination, not to all 'ma council under the re e system Ty deny equa merica in the development fcus resources through such c sions by agreements as we ma able to make.
