We do not believe the attitude of peoples toward each other have changed a great deal since Victor Hugo's time, nor can we see signs of any great change for the better in the near future.

The ainount requested was only 16 billions, but the quota was · exceeded by · $4,639,000,000 or 29 per cent: It is the large t arnount of funds ever rais>ed in a War Loan Drive. In fact, it is only a little less than the $21, 500 000 raised in all five ofthe fund raising drives during World War I.
