Premature Agitation seditious

Agitation for premature peace Is
seditious when its object is to weaken
the determination Of America TO see
the war through To conclusive vindi-
cation of the principles for which we
have taken up arms.
The war We are waging is war
against war and its sacrifices must not
be nullif1ed by any truce or armistice
that means no more than a breathing
spell for the enemy
we believe in the wise purpose Of
the President not to negotiate a peace
with an irresponsible and autocratic
dynasty.
I'VE approve the action Of the ma
tionai government in dispatching an
expeditionary force to the land Of
Lafayette and Rochambeau. Either we
fight the enemy on foreign soil, Shout
der to shoulder with comrades in
arms. or we fight on our own soil
backs against our homes and alone.
While this war lasts. the cause Of
the Allies is our cause. their defeat our
defeat, and concert Of action and unity
in spirit between them andfus Is es-
sental to final victory We therefore
deprecate the exaggeration Of old ma
tional prejudices-often stimulated by
German propaganda-and nothing is
more important than the clear under
standing that those who in this crisis
attack our present Allies attack Amer
lea.
We are organized in the interests Of
a national accord that rises high above
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1917-10-09
Declaration Of Principles

The conference adopted the follow
ing declaration of principles:
In an hour when our nation is fight
ing for the principles upon which it
was founded in an hour when free in
stitutions and the hopes of humanity
are a stake. we hold ii the duty OF ev-
cry American TO take his place on the
firing line of public opinion.
1T is not n time for old prejudices
or academic discussion as to past diff
ferences. Those who Are not for Am
erica are against America.
Our cause is just. We took UP the
sword only when international law and
ancient rights We're set at nausht and
when our forbearance had been ex-
hausted by persistent deception and
broken pledges.
Our aims are explicit our purposes
unsoiled by any selishness. We de-
fend the sanctities of life, the funda-
mental decencies of civilization. We
fight for a just and durable peace and
that the rule of reason be restored to
the community of nations.
I'm this crisis the unity Of the Am
erican people must not be impaired by
the voices Of dissension or sedition.

Main Reasons for War

Many people. the President said ar"
inclined to let their thoughts on the
causes and principles underlying the
war wander into byways and forget
that the main reason the United States
is at war is to defeat government
which threatens even the existence OF
democracy.
The President endorsed the plan of
the new organization which includes a
number Of religious, business labor
and fraternal groups. for unifying the
spirit of America. Little real misun-
derstandings of the war exists in the
United States. he said, but there is
evident considerable cloudy thinking
which patriotic educational move
nent can set Alright
