surely fall upon us. Let US end
those shipments of food and ammuni-

the war and the wastage of war, and
the woe which the war is wreaking
Let US feed our own people, build up
our own country, conserve our own
resources. America first and forever.

Dom you think the Francis cdi-
torial and declaration to Congress of
the sentiment and will of the great
majority Of the people of the United
States should be mailed to every
member of Congress?
Two believe it would be a very
big thing for all our papers to con-
duct referendum peace vote in an
election district in each one of our
cities and in another district in each
one Of our states. The New York
American would take district in the
city and district upstate, the Bos-
ton American would do the same in
Massachusetts,, the Atlanta Georgian
in Georgia, the Chicago Examiner the
same in Illinois.

the Los Angeles Examiner another
In this way we would get a nation
vide expression of opinion. The eX-
preston of every voter in the dis
trct ought to be secured even if he
has to be visited personally and made
