The Psychology Of Treason
Apropos to my subject let me give
you an illustration of the Psychology
Of treason for 1t is the most unblush.
ing attempt at National hari kari,
have ever seen: On June 10, at q
peace meeting held in Carnegie Hall ;
New York, the principal speaker was
one of the most talked of men in
the United States. At the door was
distributed this pledge: 81, being over
eighteen years OF age, hereby pledge
myself against enlistment as vol,
unteer for any military or naval ser
vice in International War, and
against giving my approval of such
enlistment upon the part Of others.
The author of this reasonable docu

Mothers of Today Real Women
So. too, the mothers Of today would
rather see their sons that their daugh
tiers the unwilling mothers of halr
breed children, and this might hap
pen IL we were invaded by other ma
tions. with all the awful horrors that
this would bring upon us.
In the face Of every example OF
history, modern as well as ancient,
they claim to think, and on every oc'
casion preach, that other nations
will spare US, our territory, our com
merce and our self respect II we are
,inarmed and unprepared.
II these Missionaries will recall all
history up to and including the past
twelve months, they should surely un'
derstand that:
