Under the auspices of the board of directors of National Council, Knights | of Columbus, David Goldstein, or Boston, discussed the topic Peace and War, before a large audience in the town hall, Thursday evening. Promln- ent members of the Knights or Colum. bus were seated on the platform ana | the speaker was introduced by pr. John M. O'Connell. grand knight of Narragansett council. The speaker ex- | pressed pleasure at the opportunity or ] discussing with a Westerly audience some of the questionps that are engag- | ing attention throughout the world l He said he believed the good people Of Westerly in common with all Chrtsten- dom, are saddened by the awful condf- | tions resulting from the gigantic con- | f1ict now raging in Europe, conditions | unparalleled even in the Dark Ages. l That we have made progress in ma | terial things, said the speaker. is gen. erally admitted; yet all about us here | as well as abroad, war exists. war between nation and nation results from l the same causes that produce conflict | in families. While all desire peace and are asking for it, either consciously or sub-consciously, the violation of Gods commands brings war. Peace was promised to men of good will only; l the real cause of war Is bad will. Causes of War and the Ways of Es- l tablishing Peace, were dealt with in MT. Goldstein's lecture, not only as to | commercial and governmental relation ships, but also in the individual and domestic relationships. The Catholic attitude on these four phases of life | the lecturer contrasted with the doc l trines advocated by socialists and rad | icals in general. and the pronounce ments of the Catholic church in the premises were explained.
 l Under the direction of a committee | of the Westerly Board of Trade, what | is know as the "Merchants' Agree
 ment" has just been printed and dis. | tributed. It is to be used as cudgei against the advertising and gift solici- | tors, and is not only signed by retail
 merchants, but by barbers. tinsmiths. | blacksmiths, and nearly all lines of
 business conducted in Westerly. The
 agreements, which received S4 sigma
 lures, is strong in denunciation of
 certain kinds of advertising and even l refers to the. prescribed advertising as
 fakes. Here is a copy of the Mer- l chants Agreement:
 l we the undersigned, retail mer- chants of Westerly, do hereby agree not to donate any article of merchant | disc or cause any advertising to be
 paid for by us, either directly or in | directly, for three years, terminating
 fake schemes: Hotel Register, Opera l house, secret societies, and all other l programmes and holiday advertising
 sheets, business directories, all. blot
 ting board schemes. clock. time tables | and postal cards. and all forms of com | bination advertising. except our local II directories and the Westerly Board of
 Trade advertising. This, however, II does not prevent any merchant from
 using bills or any scheme for his ex-
 elusive use."
