PACIFISTS UNITE TO
oppose MILITARISM
Continued from page ~

the "anti-preparedness'' leaders in
Congress, the committee announces
it's Congressional program as follows:
"Our immediate purpose is to pre-
vent, if possible, any unusual expend-
iture fer armament during the pres
ent session of Congress. Before any
increased defense appropriations are
made, we demand public investigation
of our present huge war budget so
that every dollar now spent for the
army and navy may bring on hun
dred per cent. efficiency.
1--WE stand for a Congressional in
vestigation of the sources of the de-
mand for a large increase in the
army and navy appropriations.
I'VE stand for taking private pro-
fit out Of armament manufacture.
1--WE hold that the expense of ma
tional defense should be met by in
come and inheritance taxes, and not
by taxes which place the burden on
the poor.
1--WE hold, with the President. that
the time has come to develop the
Monroe Doctrine, with it's inherent
dangers and difficulties, into a real
Pan-American union and, therefore,
urge that fifth Pan-American con-
ference be called early in 1916, and
that our delegates to that conference
be instructed to recommend true
democratic federation of the twenty
one American republics in the inter-
ests of peace and Republican ideals.
..'We hold. that the question at issue
between America and the Orient are
important and complex, and therefore
urge, as a rational approach to their
solution, the appointment of an ex-
pert commission, representing Ameri-
ca, Japan and China, to study these
questions and make recommendations
to the various countries involved, az
ter considering all interests concerned
local, national ard international"
The committee wants to raise a
budget which will permit it to put
speakers into the field to meet the
propagandas of the various ''prepar-
edness" organizations. It desires
specifically: to state that Henry Ford
is not fina icing it.

RUSSELL'S STAND ON

Answers Socialist Demand As to
Where He Stands On
Preparedness.

Members Of the Socialist party in
Minnesota apparently are loath to &C.
cept as true that Charles Edward
Russell has actually come out
strongly for militarism.
The Speakers committee of the
Hennep1n county organization re-
Gently sent communication to- Mr..
! Russell requesting him to settle the
question of where he stood, owing to
different interpretations of his lee.
; ture delivered in Minneapolis some
weeks ago.
Replying to the letter of the com.
mittee, Mr.. Russell said:
mo one has the right to ask me
whethr I am in favor of a larger
army and navy for the United States
and to insist that I @answer%withs dyes
or No." / will make no such answer.
II will answer the question in my
own way, which is that so long as
we Insist upon maintaining the cause
Of war I am in favor of a navy three
times as large as the present navy
and Of universal military service on
the basis Of the Swiss system of a
citizen modern power"
was I&x1U1Cdl AeaUers
Russelrs latest stand has caused
no end Of trouble in the party organ
tzatfon. He was influential as a
speaker and a writer and considered
a. favorite Of the more radical ele-
nent in the party.
The Appeal to Reason and other
Socialist periodicals are devoting a
"reat deal Of space refuting Rus
'ell's arguments in favor of big
navy and the situation is further
complicated by reason Of the fact that
next to Debs, Russell has received
he highest number of nominations
~ the party's candidate for presi-
.'ent.
Debs has declined to run and un-
less something happens soon, Rus
sell will be the candidate for that
Ugh office. Then the party will be
in the absurd position of having a
'ndidate for president who is a
1ilftarist, while the party member
hip Is almost violently anti-mili-
taristic.
1T is an Interesting situation and
a dangerous one for the Socialist
party" said prominent Socialist to
the Labor World.
I'm fairness, Russell ought to de-
cline the nomination as there is no
doubt but large number of the
locals voted for him under the i'm
preston that he still retained his old
beliefs. or, that the report of his
conversion to the lingo side was an
othe case Of Misrepresentation by the
capitalist press.
but it he refuses to decline it
seems the party will be up against
1t unless it can induce Debs to be the
red standard-hearer for the fifth
time. Russell has nearly twice AS
many votes as Allan L. Benson, his
cloest competitor"

rived here early yesterday morning
until he left at midnight. for ia brief
period in Washington before depart

speak for preparedness. IN
4 In addition to attending two ban.
quets last night, the President spoke
twice during the day, shook hands
with a group Of suffragi sts, and took.
two automobile rides.
Insistence that the American people
love peace, but must be treated just
~, and must harmonic internal rae
ial and religious differences, marked
his address at noon before a confer
ence OF 4 500 New York clergymen of
all denominations He declared that
peace is inconsistent with the aband-
onment OF principles and the loss OF
self-respect.
The President did not repeat his
now famous phrase too proud to.
fight" but asserted beligerently that.
81 always accept, perhaps by some i'm
pulse OF my native blood, the invt-
tation to a fight" He added that he.
hoped he always fought in "knightly
fashion," that he did not "traduce his
antagonists" and that he fought with
the Intention OF concerning them.
A vote of thanks for Mr.. Wilson'S
efforts in behalf Of peace was passed
unanimously by the clergymen. and
in reply he declared that in his efforts
for peace he had always been consci-
GUS of representing the spirit OF Am
erica.

their hearts, and by their purpose,
the people of America have been try
ing to hold the balance even. The

not been merely q formal matter. It
has been a matter of conviction and
Of the heart"
He added that he could find no 9TH
er foundation for peace than justice
without aggression, and that the pas
sion OF America was to be allowed to
live It's own life according to its own
principles.
The president said he had been very
deeply disturbed by evidence recently
OF rligious ,antagonism in this coun-
try. Give and let live, is very
homely expression" he asserted, and
yet 1t is at the basis Of social exist
ence."
