Great Britain and Japan into confer
ence looking to reduction of naval
ornaments by agreement.
America, Mr.. Bryan said, was the
ample in mobilization for war. but
now, he added. "She can't get out of
war" He ridiculed the law which
required two-thirds vote in Con-
sress to ratify treaty. but permitted
a declaration of war by majority
vote.
Wouldn't it be possible to have
peace as well as war by a majority
vote?" he demanded. "Now it's easier
to get into war than to get OUT
After blocking peace for two years.
Mr.. Bryan said. America had injected
"a fight over little things in what
he declared was 1.-The most disgrace
full campaign ever waged in this
country"
THE devil taught us to avoid war
by arming to the teeth" he said.
I'VE obeyed the DEVILS voice and
now we are paying the devils price"
Matthew Woll. vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, ex-
tended the helping hand of the
American labor movement" to the
congress in it's proposal for ar
mament limitation. He asserted Ia
bor's stand for peace. but declared
labor had no regret for the part il
took in the world war.
! Dr. Nehemiah Boynton of New
York. speaking for the religious
! forces Of America. also asked for
peace through friendship and inter-
| national relationship.
| Several resolutions declaring for

Briefly. the municipal taxes are

This terrific tax burden. accord
