people are sad, but in a way have
welcomed the war.
Discussing this country in its
relation to the warring nations,
Mr. Chatham said our stand
ards of living depend on world
trade, and that we cannot sit by
and be totally independent, but
must take an interest in world
affairs.
The present neutrality act, he
said, must be changed, and he
stated that he favors providing
the Allies with war supplies and
other materials.
Clyde Cothren, president of the
T. C. U. Club, presided over the
meeting. Lowell Smithey, chair
man of the program committee,
