to be a legitimate business so long
as they conduct it according to the
law, but they must do that or take

KENYON WARNS

Bloody Hands OFF Belgium

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. - The
present IS not the time for peace
talk. This was the warning sounded
in the senate today by Sen. Kenyon
Of iowa, who has but recently re-
turned from a visit TO the European
battle fields.
Those who are now trying to
help in bringing about a patched up
peace are weakening the American
forces" said the senator from Iowa.
I'VE are figuring for a permanent
peace. Can you sit down and work
out a peace problem with a mad
dog?"
When the kaiser takes his bloody
hands off of Belgium and France
then il will be time enough 10 con-
slider peace" Sen. Kenyon said. I'VE
have just passed through the season
of peace on earth, good will 10
men. Never before in the history
has there been a time when there
was so little peace on earth and so
much hatred among men.
Ten MILLIONS hllleu.
I'm the last three and one half
years 100000 men have been
killed in war. Forty million, at
least. are now under arms. The war
is costing the world 100000 a
day, and in a few years the war
debts Of the world will run into the
trillions.
Those who are now trying to help
in bringing about a patched up
peace and lend their influence in
that direction had best remember
that it will cost us more now to
lose this war than to win it,
Some months ago a leading Ger
man statesman figured about 50 bill
lions as the amount that we should
contribute in indemnities. They will
need a better collecting agency than
yet developed to collect it.
Had American Issue.
I'VE had a distinct American is
sue-murdering our people. closing
TO us the seas We had the oppOr-
tunity to fight with the allies help
ing US or fighting the battle alone.
SO il was a wise choice 10 fight with
the allies. Who can deny this now
I believe the presidents course was
wise He kept US out OF war as
long as he could. and wheN at last
we were compelled 10 go in he had
practically a united nation behind
him.
There is greater issue, how
ever, than what might be termed
merely the American issue There
is a world issue. We cannot divorce
ourselves from il. We must be a
part OF the great worlds work,
whether we will it or not Destiny
places us there. There are, today,
two great systems in the world
struggling for the mastery-autoc-
racy and democracy. One of these
two systems must triumph Both
cannot live and flourish To make
the world safe for democracy is only
half. We must make the world safe
