Gaffney May A: Congressman w. F.
Stevenson mace q ringing address here
yesterday to large audience, taking
for his subject, "Thc Victory Loan and
The League oftNations." Mr.. Steven
son said that the munitions manufac-
lures Ia the United States are opposed
to the league Of nations because they
do not wish to see present or future
possibilities of war removed, since
their war receipts during the world
struggle have been enormous and have
reached almost unbelievable totals
This class of people would prolong any
war, were it possible, for their OWL
personal profit, he said. Mr.. Steven.
son further declared that the Victory
loan is more important than any Of the
Liberty loans going before because OF
the fact that great part Of the money
to be realized by the government from
the sale of these bonds will go to pay
the insurance carried by soldiers who
gave their lives in making the world
safe for democracy" In other words
every bond purchased means that the
purchaser thereof has dore something
for the families Of the men who made
1.-THE supreme sacrifice. Mr.. Stevenson
asked his audience how the men who
remained at home could turn a deal
ear to the governments appeal for f.
nancial aid when the soldiers who lost
their lives in. the struggle had no,
hcsitated to answer the call when the
government asked the men to- uphold
Americas standard in the struggle
Mr. Stevenson was literally applaused
during his address. Yesterday after
noon Congressman Stevenson address
ed a large and enthusiastic audience
at Blacks5urg and reports coming from
