I was much gratified to hear that the Senate has unanimously confirmed Mr. Mellon's appointment to London.

I am happy to say he has now expressed his willingness to serve.

I, therefore, request our citizens to enlist with us in the fight we are making on their behalf.

I have asked Mr. Mellon to undertake the Ambassadorship to Great Britain.

During the Great War our people gave their undivided energies to the national purpose.

Credit is the bloodstream of our economic life.

I am convinced that citizens hoarding currency or money do not realize its serious effect on our country.

A prime need today is the extension and liberalization of credit facilities to farmers and small businessmen.
