not a singular coincidence that the
National Security League was CON
ceived in London, nursed to strength
and power in New York by foreign In
terests? The Congressional committee
report further says: Upon entering
the Leagues Offices in New York one
would see only Mi. West, the lobbyist,
Mr.. Orth, the slsal importer and Mr..
Harvey, the newspaper reporter with
out a job" But if. the. curtain were
only pulled back, in addition to the in
terests heretofore enumerated, the
hands Of Rockefeller, Of Vanderbilt,
of Morgan, Of Remington, Of Dupont,
and of Guggenheim would be seen,
suggesting steel, oil, money bags, Rus
sian bonds, rifles, powder and rail
roads," Congress through it's spec
ial committee has the following to say
concerning this Big Biz organization:
"The National Security League and
like organizations in their political ac-
.tivities constitute a serious menace to
representative Government. Ordinari-
ly their real purpose is concealed and
their appeal to the public on some
principal in harmony with dominant
sentiment. Usually, as in this inst
ance, they have access to almost un-
limited wealth, and borrow respect
ability by use, in harmony positions,
Of the names Of the men Of national
prominence. IF their real purpose
were apparent, the danger would be
relieved. A nice bunch is this Sec
urity League, whose aims are to pro-
tect entrenched wealth BY Organizing
assmilitary machine in this country
with which to do the protecting, to be
teaching the IONS and daughters of the
American people Americanism. The
only purpose that this league wishes
to accomplish is the destruction of re-
preventative government and the es-
tablishment of a military organization
by placing a rifle upon the shoulder of
every boy in this country. The desire
on their part for universal military
training is two-fold. It would build
an enormous military organization in
this country and military training
to destroy the iniative for in
dividual, except in a military, thought,
AS the younger people Of this nation
hold progressive views concerning gov
eminent military training would, to
a large extent destroy the progressive
thoughts Of many young men as the
military training which these un-Am-
erican organizations would force up
on them, would come in the period Of
life Of the young man when he is
forming his opinion concerning world
ly matters. It is the destruction Of
individual progressive thought that
this autocratic gang desire. We are
whole heartedly opposed to the
teachings Of this Rockefeller Wander
bilt- Morgan organized wealth autoc-
racy loving bunch and we believe that
the large majority of American peo-
pie share oxr views. We want a ma
ton Of peace, not a nation of militar-
lists with the war, dogs tugging at the
chains to conquer foreign territory for
our greedy, grasping, proflteering or
ganized wealth bunch to exploit.

TRIP WAS COSTLY
ASSERTS SENATOR

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IL,
Wilson was very ex-
travagant during the time he was
abroad, in the opinion of Senator
George W. Norris, Republican, Of
Nebraska, who called attention, in
an address delivered on the floor of
the senate yesterday, to the fact
that the Presidents stay in France
had cost the people of the United
States very large amount.
To use the words of the senator,
the President spent money like a
drunken sailor" One of the ex-
travagances charged was the en-
ployment of high-priced chefs, who
were taken from the Biltmore hotel
TO prepare the meals for the presi-
dental party during their stay in
the French capital.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. II.
The minority report of the senate
foreign relations committee, which

that the rejection of the pending

fee by America of important con-
cessions obtained from Germany.
Senator Hitchcock, who prepared
the report for the minority members
of the committee, urged the speedy
ratification of the treaty without
amendments. He said that the ma
jority committeeman were endeavor-
ing to destroy the league, which has
already stood the test of world
criticism. He said further that the
Republican members of the commit
tee had shown themselves to be out

of the most striking traits in the
Rumanian people is their sense of
pride. With all the misery and

what the Americans give them.
At the distribution centers there
is never complaint, protest or clam
or. Probably no people on earth

more resignation and patience than
do the Rumanians.
