AS REAL MENACE
BMiteS States Chamber of Commerce
Calls for Square Statement Of
Facts.

Washington, June 5.-Declaring the
United States is fast approaching q
crisis where any day we may see &C,
tual warfare brought to its own shores
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, representing all the
chambers of commerce in America, to-
day sent to President Wilson a reso.
luton asking him to name special
commission to Investigate the war
give the people the truth and arouse
them to sense of their danger.
The resolution which is sent out un-
der the signature of Joseph H. Defrees
Of Chicago, chairman of the chamber
SUMS up the country's peril thus:
Life and Death.
aside from the question of short
ening the war there are life and death
reasons why the United States should
speed preparations for the great con
ffict. There are possible and even
probable contingencies which might
cause the United States 10 bear the
brunt of the fighting on her own
shores. They are:
eff Russia should collapse.
eff the English feet be overcome.
"If the food situation should bring
cur allies to their knees.
''If great revers1@s should be met
on the western front.
eff the submarine menace be not
checked"
The chamber, made up Of big busi-
ness men all over the country, consid-
ers the situation so acute that the ex-
ncutive committee after drawing up
the resolution requested telegraphic
approval by it's members. This was
granted and today the contents of the
resolution. which actually was passed
or May "a, were made public.
President Wilson, it is understood,
will name war commission. entirely
independent of all other bureaus. The
National Security league, it is an
.nounced, will send 1000 speakers
throughout the country as soon as the
new commission can get under way.
The chamber says that the main OBJ
etraction of speed is the failure of
the people to appreciate the fact that
we are at war" It is felt that an
urgent need exists for precisely the
same kind of campaign of national
education and information as that
conducted by England when it comes
to the realization of what war really
Reant.
