Ry Review Leased wirel


 PHOENIX, Ariz., Mar. 1O.-'T would rather eat a little dirt than have an- other war;" was the statement made today by Vice-Pres Thomas R. Mar shall in his address before the joint session of the state senate and house, and his remark drew loud applause. not only from the legislators on the floor, but from the packed galleries. Mir. Marshall said in part:
 T believe with George Washington that we should have no entangling for eign alliances if we can get out of it, but times have changed, and whether you wish it or not. today you are hook ed up with the world and whatever touches any portion of it, will, for wear or woe, touch you"
 Not Campaigning
 The vice-president disclaimed any intention to campaign for the league of nations, but he asserted flatly that Washington was faced with the choice of alternatives, either to back som9 international plan to Dre4ent futurd wars, or to Immediately prepare fO! the next outbreak
 The vice-president was introduced by Governor Campbell and was escort ed to the dais of the house by Sen ators Campbell and Green and Repre- sentatives He6rick and Mrs West over. He was received in the chamber by President Johns of the senate who presided over the joint session, and Speaker Peterson of the house. The Tice-presiden5 said in part:
 q shall not pretend to discuss the really great problems which confront the American people, because I do not wish to speak loosely on those ques- tions and without weighing my words. However, I may be pardCned for ob- serving that there come in the his tory of nations as we'll as that of in- diViduals, periods when there is no such thing as present, either it is all past or future, when it is all history or all hope.

 While I would be forever against anything which would besmirch the honor of our flag or lessen the grand ness and glory of the American peOp--, yet am convinced that we are facing a new era and that things must be different in the future
 TO you I want to present this prob lem do you think 100000 900 men sui fered and died on the fields of France and Flanders in order that things might be as they were befOre2 Ii vou do.
