Neither honor nor vital interests Of
our country having been attacked and
no act having been committed by
any beligerent willfully inHicting
any wrong upon us, a declaration of
war or any action by u government
provoking war, would be a crime
against the laws Of God and humanity.
If international laws, admittedly sub
ject to different interpretations are
assumed to have been violated, our
sense of justice demands that due
consideration be given to the as
suranee by beliigerents Of their
friendly feeling toward this country.
In fact none of the injuries to our
people can be ascrihed TO intentional
acts against American interests, but
are plainly incidental to the death
struggle between the warning nations,
controlled by passion and fear.
Those in power should mediate
long and soIemniy before assuming
the awful responsibility Of engulfng
this country In a dreadful calamity
and awakening the baser instincts in
the hearts Of our people where the
sentiments of peace and humanity
have found such favored soil

mo one mans dictation should
be permitted to unnecessarily drive
America into a position, where war
viii become unavoidable. The
flimsy humanitarian pretext is too
thin to deceive anyone. Stand firm
against war and warlike steps Of
the administration"
"The people insist on peace and
abhor the crime Of a war for which
there exists no Just cause, not even
a decent pretext. This is a country
where the people should rule, and
not an ~sutocratic President"
ut would be a shameful crime to
60 to war fer such an irrelevant
right as the one claimed, that every
American has the right to travel
savely where he pleases in the war
n Tt is not true that Germany
does not fulfil her agreements. The
people are against the President
on this question, and viii be
against any official who does not
stand firmly for peace in this
crisis"
mo war for . false conception
Of humanity. No American interests
Of humanity. War is the opposite
Of any consequence endangered by
Germany. Congress must show
backbone, not resignation"
1For the sake Of Americas inter-
nal peace, for generations to come,
there must be no war between our
country and Germany. The people
will not tolerate that the United
States be made highlands catspaw.7
Consider twice the awful calamity
Of this world war. Lets continue
to enjoy peace
Amy action on the part Of our
government provoking war would be
q crime against the laws of God and
humanity.
Why awaken the baaer instincts
