the debt obligations, to which our Chairman has made pointed refer- ences, are matters for deep regret.

As regards Communism, there is no doubt to my mind that, to those Bat. unacquainted with its sters im plications, its dangers, its utter Ban futility as an instrument of politi cab remedy, it may exercise an abiding and irresistible appeal.
