Show CONGRESSMAN KAHN URGES SELF-DENIAL Predicts $18,000,000,000 Army Bill for Next Year and More Liberty Bonds. CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 27. An eighteen billion-dollar army bill for 19.19-20 was forecast by fi-epresenta-tive Kahu of California, in an address here today before the League of Republican Re-publican clubs. "This means additional Liberty bonds," Rnpresentative Kahn said; "it means additional taxation; it mean?, if it means anything, that the American people must be prepared to give their all, if need be. Perhaps the lime will come when every individual in the United States will have to content himself him-self with tho barest necessaries of life, and surrender everything ho possesses or earns beyond those bare necessaries to aid his government. "We have not begun to mako sacrifices sacri-fices in these United States. We do not know the pinch of hunger 1 hope and pray we may never know it but we will be, better prepared for possible eventualities if we begin now tho practice prac-tice of self-denial." |
