For Peace
BY Z. y, HITCHCOCK


Ii is not generally known that there Is
an Emergency Peace Federation in the
United States and that il has since March
10, had within its organization an unof-
fetal commission which has sought by all
means in its power TO avert war.
Attic the notice was short David Starr
Jordan responded at once and came from
California 10 act as its chairman.
1t believes that the great contribution
that this country can make to civilization
during the present war is the champions
ship of neutral rights. and an interna-
tional organization TO guarantee flu
ture peace-a policy in accordance with
the best American ideals and the prime
achievements of American diplomacy, in
Guiding those of the administrations of
Washington, Adams. Lincoln, Cleveland
and Wilson.
II believes that the true patriots Of
America have on their hands the biggest
fight that has ever been waged against
militarism and high finance.
The Emergency Peace Federation APP
peals to the west and middle west which
proved last November that the country
could decide It's policies without the vote
md help of Wall street interests.
The following letter has been drawn up
by the commission and forwarded to the
President:
ITO the President:
I'VE earnestly press upon you that
when congress convenes you lead and
clarity public opinion, now not only con-
fused but Intentionally misled and IN con-
dieting directions.
I'VE urge that you analyzc the interna-
ional situation for the benefit both Of
congress and of the public at large, ex-
pressing the desire to keep alive interna-
tional law and to make effective protest
against ruthlessneSs and lawlessness.
I'VE beg YOU 20 set forth the signif-
canee of the conflicting policies publicly
urged upon congress, that in making de-
cision il may clear its purposes to itself
and to the public
For instance, if war should come,
what of the following questions
SHOULD the United States form an al |
lance. informal or formal with the En-
tente Allies? Or enter the war without
any understanding with them, or how
should It pressed
aSfots1f- tk{ -sFF enter tAe waF 20
establish the right OF ncutrals to defend
~ force of arms their commerce with
)elligerents?
Should this country enter the war for
The purpose of underwriting foreign
bonds. as is now urged by officers. of the
Federal Reserve bank?
What, precisely and clearly, is the
purpose Of the war if it comes? And on
what terms would we consent at any
time to a settlement?
I'VE recall that last summer, when mil
ions OF your fellow citizens could see no
outcome Of the Mexican crisis except war
with Mexico-on the innocent and the
guilty alike-you announced that that
was the long way and the wrong way
to settle international issues, making
mere might the basis of settlements,
arousing hatreds and leading the citizens
Of the nation against which war is de-
cared to feel IT an Imperative patriotic
luty 10 defend their fatherand.
We believe that the same principles
hold good in the present crisis, and we
look to you in earnest hope for their-real
ization.

they pass thru on the train. We
cannot estimate the value of such
an advertisement.

SUGAR, LUMBER AND COTTON
Commodities May Be Put Under Ex

Washington, Aug. g. Three impor.
tant commodities-cotton. lumber and
sugar-probably will be put under ex.
port control soon by President Will
son. The exports council. it is under.
stood, already has recommended that
they be added to the list of goods for
whose shipment out of the country
license is required.
Goods that now cannot be exported
without license include: Foods, feed

adding cotton, lumber and sugar to
these the government will extend it's

1T WAS OUR MISTAKE.

The Journal was in error last
week in announcing Democratic
nominations.
We accused George j. Munger
of being candidate for Township
Treasurer and Corporation Treas
urer also. But it isn't true. George
doesn't want everything in sight.
He is Just candidate for Township
Treasurer only that and nothing
more.
Robert f. Kazmaier received the
nomination for Corporation Treas
urer on the Democratic ticket
We make this acknowledgment
of our error so that we may not dc
injustice to the candidates.
