WANTS WAR CHESTS USED

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
If the millions that are being spent

nations of two hemispheres, We're used

what a great change would in a CEN
fury. a half of century. or even less
time dawn upon the peoples of the

The leading powers of the world to-
day spend approximately $500 10000 an

Of this enormous burden. we'll might

Sweet Dove of Peace
To the we sing our theme.
That wars NAV cease,
And Peace may reign supreme
The advocates of peace have many
strong arguments to present in their Ia

as the sentiment against war is gain

found easy to conquer from time to

The S1O,OOO,OOO donation made by null

a far way in accomplishing this noble
cause.
1t has been said, the way to maintain
peace, is by formidable armament. This

their controversies by means other than

gies toward the higher attainments of
this life.
Commercialism is today thriving the
world over. it is keeping men busy, they
have no time to think of bloody wars
and their horror. it is crowning some
with success, others meet defeat.
Peace is God-send to man, to a
people, to a nation. for as Milton says

remarks with which Thomas Hagerty

daughters. the oldest ten years Of age.

MERGER NOW UP TO TWEEN
TY-NINE MEN.

Twenty-nine citizens of Washington
hold in their hands the immediate fate
of the proposed merger of the Chamber
of Commerce and the Board of Trade.
How are they going to discharge this
obligation? Will they take position in
favor of consolidation or will they op-
pose it, and thereby prevent the union
of Washington's duplicate commercial
organizations for the time being?
1t is for them to say. They are the
twenty-nine directors of the Washing
ton Board of Trade, and they will
assemble next Monday afternoon in
special session to consider this merger
question. At that time they will be
given the opportunity to speak. The
whole community is waiting to hear
their voice.
