DR.. Won Mach. expressed his complete
approval of the plan. Secretary Ian

One plan that the committee has

believes that England would acquiesce
in such n proposition without bringing

Speaking before the Bronx open
Forum Yesterday afternoon. Or: Won
Mach expressed the opinion that Presi-
dent Wilson knew that the war was
coming four months before IL was de-
clared. and that one word from the
State Department at that time would
have dispellcd the subsequent peIiei
that Germany started the war.
"As for the alleged atrocities IN
Belgium. there was not one that was
not duplicated in Vera Cruz, where we
shelled their oldest church and killed
all those who were found with arms
in their possession" he said. Accord
ing 10 him. Secretary Lansing now has
in his possession documents disprovlng
the Bryce report. but all efforts to oo-
tain copies of them have been unsuc-
cessful.
"When Germany declared the waters
AROUND Great Britain zone OF war. IN
retaliation for a blockade that was
against international law, we suddenly
went 10 the assistance of Great Brit
ain: and If we will not demand the
rights of neutrals when England IS
concerned. we have no right to demand
the safety OF our citizens when they
venture on the waters about Great
Britain. We should follow an Amer
can policy, and not British pollcy'
and when we insist that the sea is frec
actually free-then the Germans IN
this country will support the Presi-

attending a conference of miners and
mine owners. said in speech at the

Dor Forum last night that his organi-

please, but the agents of the owners

manent results will come from the

miners don't want paternalism-they
want justice"
A man in the audience asked the
speaker why he disparaged anarchy
and he replied:
"lf the men who are yelling 'anar-

otherwise they are doing the work

"If this 'federalited' militia in time

taxation. because IT can be collected

England, on the other hand. prior

revenue from taxes on incomes, inner.

paltry S6O,0O0,O00. Yet from necessi-
