Mayor Johnson Calls
Hall On Peace Meeting

you mean that il is unpatriotie for US
to ask our government TO define our
war aims2 Pershing told the French
that we would fight TO the last man
to secure Alsace-Lorraine for France.
Have we not a right TO know If that
statement is backed by our govern
ment?
I presume that even YOU agree with
us In asking international organiza-
ton for world peace" the safeguard
ing OF labor standards during the war
and a reduction in the high cost OF
living
Do YOU object to the Russian peace
formula no forcible annexations. no
punitive indemnities and the rights Of
nationalities2" II so. what better have
been suggested Or do you believe
the people have no right to express
their views on this subject for which
they are asked to give up their lives
and property?
Why do you not editorially discuss
our program. to which you are so
violently opposed. II II Is so unpatri-
otto and foolish. how can it's propoga-
ton succeed?
Yours respectfully.
