SHOWS THE WAY
WIND IS BLOWING
Congressman Once Opposed to Taven.
ner's Plan of Government Manu-.
facture Now Sustains 1t.

Washington. March 1O.-That some
Of the members of congress formerly
opposed to government manufacture of
munitions of war are now friendly to
it, was evidenced recently by the
speech Of Congressman Martin Dies
of Texas.
Representative Dies made a speech
In the lower house against militarism
that was considered by many to have
been one OF the greatest speeches heard
in the halls of congress in many years.
Following his discourse, he was given
a great ovation. However, the speech
was completely ignored by the large
newspapers, as many others Of a sim
liar character have been.
In the speech referred to Congress
man Dies came out squarely for the
proposition to take profit out Of war by
having the government manufacture
its own armOr, munitions battleships,
etc, as the most practical step in the
direction Of peace that can be taken.
Representative Dies had taken decided
issue with Representative Clyde H.
Tavenner on this very issue two years
previous. Mr.. Dies at that time
answered Congressman Tavenner's
speech for government manufacture of
armor plate, charging that the latter's
plan would lead the nation into pa
ternalism," and away from the Con
stitution."
The Congressional Record for May I,
1914, reports the colloquy which took
place on the floor of the house on that
day. Tavenner, for about the 18th
time. had introduced his amendment
for a government armor plate factory
and each time it had been ruled out on
a point of order.
The Record shows Tavenner as stat
ing then, ut is time for congress to
stop lodging and to give the house an
opportunity to vote on the proposition
Of an armor plant upon its merits.

bers of this house are in favor of a

there was a time when the armor ring
dominated the house, but do not be,

ship Of the republican party or of the
democratic party, and it goes without

Has Made Study of Ruddha.

Dr. David Brainard Spooner, who
propounds the theory that Buddha was
not Hindu, as is the prevailing belief,
is an American, native of New Eng
land, and for some time has been in
the employ of the archaeology depart
ment of the government of India 1t
is his belief that Buddha was q Per-
sian and a renegade from Zoroastri-
anism, rather than renegade from
Hindu teaching, which also explains
a reference to Buddha in the ancient
Parsee scriptures as a hereto, term
which could not have been used had
he not been connected originally with
Zoroastrianism, believes Doctor
Sponer. Among this explorers
achievements is the unearthing of
Buddha's bones from a mound near
Peshawur in northwestern India.
