They were: “Are you a member of the Red Cross?”. “Are you a subscriber to the Liberty Loan?” ■“Have you purchased thrift or savings certifiicate?” . “Are you whole-heartedly and unreservedly backing the government’s war program?” “No,” was answered to each question, whereupon Mr. Baker was told he must not attempt to speak there.
