DR.. BERK0WITz DEN0UNCES
MILITARlSM IN AMERICA
Declares Demand for More Arma-
ments Would Lead to War.

declares demand for More Arma-
ments Would Lead to War.
Rabbi Henry Berkowits. In a discourse
on "Militarism in America" at the Ro-
def Shalom Synagogue this morning de-
nounced 1.-THE spirit of miltarism which
seems to be growing in this country"
Doctor Berkowitz declared that "the
same voices which decry the dominant
militarism of European lands as the
cause of the ghastly war now raging
are readiest to shrek American is un-
prepared for war Forthwith bills are
prepared for adding millions to our pub
lie budget for increasing armaments and
the public press publishes urgent calls
that America delay no longer, but take
up arms and settle the war in Europe
"a proper antidate against such 'hys-
terra is offered in the wise, sane and
deeply earnest message on this subject
which the President of the United States
presented at the opening of Congress.
We, the common people, hate war more
keenly than ever. Thank God. we have
n leader who voices our love for peace"
The speaker declared that Europe was
at war because of the false doctrine,
fostered for centuries by the Govern
ments, that all nations were inevitable
foes He pointed out that America. on
the contrary. fostered the belief that all
nations were and should be friends.
"Our Government" said Doctor Ber-
kowitz, rs as the President declares, not
the master, but the servant of the peo-
pie Now Is the time for the people
to take n strong stand with the Presi-
dent. IT will be too late after the Gov
ernment has imposed war taxes, rushed
into the madness of war preparations
and. as a consequence. ultimately led
us into war. Then the people will have
nothing to say, but millions must dumb
ly follow sacrificing their homes. their
families and their ALL lest they be called
'unpatrlotic' or be denounced and shot
down as traitors

opinion FROM
WEAVER REFUSED
BY SUPERVISORS
heiress. who is reported to be

With the moral support of the
board of supervisors City and County
Clerk David Kalauokalani today de-
liberately rejected the advice Of Depu-
ty City and County Attorney P. L.
Weaver rather than give dance hall
permit to Filipinos whom he feels GER
tain are still seeking to eyade the
law and continue to conduct their mo-
torious establishment.
With cleverly worded application,
stating that the hop" was to be CIV
en- for sweet charity's sake, the entire
proceeds TO 60 to the Leahi home, a
Filipino giving the name of Pangan-
ihan appeared at Kalauokalani's Office
this morning asking for another tenn
porary permit for one night only, after
the manner in which these formerly
were obtained for the halls at King
and Smith streets and similar places.
& Still rather doubtful of his authori.
ty in the matter. the clerk referred
the question to the city and county
attorneys Office, with the result that
Weaver sent back a written opinion
advising him to issue the license on
the ground that under strict inter-
probation of the statute the clerk has
no alternative SO long as the applica-
ton appears to be bona fide. He held
that in the present instance the ap-
plication appeared without a flaw.
Then Kalauokalani hit upon cley-
er scheme.
''If you will bring in known repre-
sentative of the Leahi home" he in.
formed Panganiban, "and that repre-
sentative will vouch for the dance and
its charitable purpose Pll issue the
permit -<.9.
This occurred early this morning
but at late hour today Panganiban
had not returned with an accredited
official of the Leahi home. Kalauoka-
lani doesn't think he will, and it is
quite likely that the dance scheduled
to be held by the Filipino and his
friends at Motley hall this evening
will not take place.
