Editor Honolulu Star-BulIetin, =
/ Sir: Please allow me space in your
valuable paper. saw an article in
the StarBulletin, written by T. n.
Ship on Wednesday, September s. Mr..
Ship ii his article about military camp
for business and professional men &C
Plsttsburg, N Y, stated three facts,
In which he claims that these facts
hit you right between the eyes" BY
YOU he means the wage earnefs who
tight the wars and pay for all the wars
and CT course Mr. Ship Is right about
his hit" only that he is with Pierrs-
points and Morgans, not with the peo-
pie who oppose war. This lingo move
ment. II successfully carried out, will
not only hit the people between the
eyes, but will knock al of them out
with its iron fist.
The famous lawyers, Pvt. Mitchels
and other capitalists of the United
States who want a bigger army and
navy to secure commercial upper
hand in foreign markets, will never
excite the Wage-earners to join them,
even II they put on kaiser's uniform.
The Wage-earners today are too aware
|of jingo movement The Ludlow, Cal
umet and Cabin Greek are the facts
that would knock George Washing
ton, Abraham Lincoln and Jesus Christ
out If they were alive. And IL Is to-
these facts that America should wake
up. The reason these few people are
Interested In the lingo movement is
because it means millions OF dollars
in their pockets. Why the reason
these so-called few people don't favor
government manufacture Of armament
III the country is so dear to them and
is in danger? Why don't the jing0es
follow the plans Of defense laid ont
by Allan T. BENSON in the Pearson,s a,
Magazine Of September issue This
man shows that all the military and
naval equipments could be manufac.
tured cheaper between 20 and so per
cent but why not excite the people?
Tell them that II we do not prepare
and let our capitalists make Millions
then we will be invaded by the aHeer
of Borneo. Wake up, America! The
big jipgoes will get you and tnslave
your children
And as for Henry Ford. he Is man
Of peace. ii is a lie about him sign
ing to join military training camp.
In the Detroit Free Press OF which
article I copy Henry Ford says: y
have neither applied nor shall ! apply
for admission to school for instruc.
tion In professional murder. / viii do
everything in my power to prevent
murderous; wastefui war IN America
and III the whole world. / will devote
life to fight this spirit which is now
felt IN the free and peaceful air q
the United States. The spirit OF mill
tarism Is mother to the cry Of pre-
paredness.
II would teach the child at its
mothers knee what d horrible. waste
full. unayailing thing war is In the
home and ID the schools Of the world
would see the child taught to feel the
uselessness Of war; that war Is 4
thing unnecessary; that preparation
for war can only end In war.
II have prospered much, and ] am
ready to give much to end this con-
slant, Wasteful preparation. Not by
building palaces Of peace, not By IN
spring fearful. peace By powerful ar
mament, but by teaching the men,
women and children Of America that
war does not threaten us, that war
win not reach us, that the fulHess OF
peace Is their inheritance, not the bur
den Of militarism with its heavy hand
that ciirbs liberty and its foul systems
