, Must Wake Up.
The former President explained that
one OF the fine things about being a
subordinate member of an organization
presided over by a. woman was that
when the woman executive asked one
to sneak she also told one exactly what
added. he intended to say lust that.
He congratulated the local chapter on
It's accomplishment. The Red Cross
work here. he said. Is u part of very
necessary work.
'It takes an earthquake TO wake. the
American people uD. sometimes" he
said. They sleep and decline to give
a dollar for what they, must nay mil-
lions for later. Adequate preparedness-

sary to military preparedness.

II benooves us to look upon IL sas n
serious business and to make every
preparation for business In helping the

Is very important part OF the kind
or preparation we must make. 1t takes
care OF the wounded and the people

THE nations of Europe found they

LOUIS p. Lochner, secretary Of Henry
Ford. was elected general secretary OF
the conference. and the following cable
gram was sent to Ford: "The neutral
conference convened today. sends you
friendly greetings. II knows how deeply
You sympathize with those suffering

Economies Increased.
Mayor LindhaRen. in opening the con-
ference. said: "since the end OF the
last great world war. in 1914. an enor-
nous development Of economic power
has taken place. This has caused
struRgle for economic and political
power which has overshadowed the
whole social life. Finally this struggle
for ADVANTAGE developed q new world
war. The governments have shown
themselves impotent in this crisis. The
only way left n to arouse public senti-
mont through private Initiative and thus
establish new channels OF expressing
the public will. Whatever the character
OF these new channels viii be we shall
see later.
I'VE see clearly that the last century
was tod much of a battlefield where
brute force and military tactics ruled.
The coming century must depend more
upon Justice and ethiea We have been
dealins with the rights Of ourselves and
commence TO think OF the duties OF our
selves and the rights OF others as al
piled to national lifeA This may be ex-
pressed as. first. the will to penetrate
TO the root of the evil: second. as a
maximum program which may serve as
practical guidance. and. third. by sugs
gestions by which this program may be
brought to the attention of the people
and to the councils OF nations.
Many small powers have worked for
a union OF the nations OF the world.
Now thinking men and women have
come from America to aid in a new
way; TO produce a new kind OF am
munition. n kind of spiritual ammuni-
ammunition produced by military ex-
perts.
For Common Good.
Henry Ford. through his rare initl-
ative. has given us a presentiment of
what we shall enjoy when once the
economic forces Of the world are at
the service of the common good.
Finally. in our endeavors let us keep
as necessary guidance the resolution
passed by members of the Ford expedi-
basis for discussion. This resolution
demands the cessation of armaments by
means OF a general agreement in con-
nectior with the Introduction of an In
ternational order OF Justice. safeguard-
Ing the equal rights OF individuals and
permitting the people TO develop freely
under the protection OF political eco
nomc. and spiritual freedom"
