Even to this day -- approaching three years after the close of the war in fact nrrogant European countries that owe us vast sum and do not pay us the interest thereon will refuse to admit into their lands the products of America in American . ships on the same base that they will admit American products in the ship? of their own country. Some of them have an embargo on American meats and livestock. America's participation in the war, beautiful and heroic sacrifice of the boys in action and service, the purpose and endeavor ot the people at home all magnificent and glorious as they will ever be have been annulled by the inefficient statescnft of those that were in and those whom we have put into the high places of the land.

This lack of statescraft has not been the fault of the people of Dawes. This county stands high in its civil and military attributes. A review of the facts set forth elsewhere in this history will emphasize the high class of Dawes county official, educational civic standing in the galaxy of splendid community worthiness.
