Country's S Shores.

Sioux Falls-A protest against
the administration prepared :
ness program was started last
Friday in Sioux Falls when a
petition was prepared memor-
lalizing congress to limit it's
plans for increased armament.
and the document was put in
circulation.
The petition reads as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned, citizens
of Sioux Falls, S. d.. hereby
protest against the administers
tion's plan for increasing the
army and navy in order to pre-
pare this country for war. We
believe there is less danger of
invasion than ever before in the
history Oh the United States and
that to turn the attention of our
people to the preparation for war
must result ultimately in war.
We also believe that if we pre-
pare, Canada and the rest of
North and South America must
prepare for war and thus turn
this continent into an armed
camp which has for 40 years
cursed Europe and her laborng
population with enormous taxes
and resulted in universal con
tiict. We believe that interested
parties are back of this agitation
for preparation for war, men
who speculate out of the neces-
sities of governments engaged
in armed conflict, and who never
do Any.fighting on join the army
themselves.
We believe that the best pre-
paration fof war will be to do
economic justice by our own
population. We are certain no
European nation nor Asiatic
nation for that matter, will un-
dertaIe to invade the United
States. 1t would take 1000
ships to transport 100000 men
to the shores of the United
States. from any country. These
ships would cost more than 50,

armament and food equipment
which they would have to bring
with them. If they would sue

finally reach our shores and land
their entire force, while they
were doing so we would throw
up an embankment of earth
