oppose reductions. We cl1lnot afford
to allow foreign militarists and for

tion's policy on so vital a question.
The masses cry out for relief and need
only a standard around winch to

the standard. Let the call be issued
in the name of humanity; in the name
of brotherhood and it should lie issued

stern necessity.
Let the appeal be made to the con-
science of the world before it becomes
necessary to make it to the world

The churches of the United States
should invite the churches of all ma
tions to unite in petitions to their
governments and in prayer to God for
aid in putting an end to the scourge of
war. Action should be immediate,
universal and continuous. Our motto
should be: "Disarmament-by argu-

PEACE LEAGUE OF WORKERS

President Johnson of the Interna-
tonal Association of Machinists pro-
poses to the Federation of Metal
Workers world agreement to refuse
all work on munitions and mechan-
isms of warfare.
II such an agreement were posi-
BILE in time of peace it would prob
ably fail under the stress of war. as
did the plan to unite socialists in
opposition to the last war. When the
test came they were not equal even
to undertaking it, those of each
country going with their people into
the full tide of warfare. 1t is not
probable that an agreement such as
proposed could restrain the munition
makers under the provocation of ma
uonal feeling and the incentive of
war bonuses. Indeed it is question
able whether this attempt in time of
peace could work out advantageous
ly and if it is attempted on a large
scale embarrassments are pretty sure
to follow. The discontinuance of all
work on armament might seriously
interfere even with the maintenance
Of police regulations among the ma
tons.
MIR. johnson expresses the opinion
that the League of Nations has vir-
iually been scrapped and that it now
devolves on the workers on war ma
terial to put the Leagues principles
into effect, insofar as those pertain
to warfare. Manifestly any agree
ment worth while would have to in
clude men of the yellow and the
black races rs well as those of the
white. One needs but little con-
Eideration of this for arriving at a
conclusion. Supposing that out of
tie prejudices, which wrongly or
otherwise have been actively famed
nI late, an act Of aggression occurs;
suppose, for instance, that the
Japanese attack Americans at zap is
Il conceivable that this would have
no effect on the American metal
workers, or that such an incident
would not influence the Japanese?
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-04-21

They inevitably would be caught up
In the tidal wave and swept of their
feet.
This effort does possess a crafty
ing feature. indicating, as it does. a
spirit of opposition to warfare among
those who suffered least from the eff
fects of the last war. Many of these
craftsmen under the demand for their
services because of the war were able
to exploit the opportunity to their
own selfish advantage. They ex-
perienced little If any of the hard
ship and none of the privations in the
front line of duty. That they now
feel a sense of responsibility to pre-
vent recurrence of the horror is
credible to them and does afford
promise for the future.
On the toilers the great burden OF
warfare ultimately falls. When they
shall have profound conviction Of
this there may be given them courage
and endurance equal to the convic-
ton. Then it will be within their
power to lessen warfare, but we fail
to see evidence that this time has yet
arrived. We hope we are mistaken
and that the hour has arrived. AL
least this desire for peace should be
encouraged in every possible way,
but at the same time there should be
effort to keep it informed so that it
may not prove mischievous in opera
ton. 1t will not do to forget that
greed, jealousy, racial prejudice and
ambition faunt themselves today as
arrogantly as ever and must De
guarded against by such methods OF
restraint as are effectual.

DISARMAMENT
Cause of Universal Peace

civilian Jennings Bryan)
The United states is in position to
render incalculable service to the
cause of universal peace. The nations
Of Europe, CORY with the blood Of war
and bent to the cart: under the bur
den of militarism and naValism' are
powerless to emancipate themselves
from the false systems that have
brought woe upon them.
The United States and the United
States alone, can furnish the leadership
necessary for their release. The figures
which represent the policy of p1epar-
Europe, are appalling. The expendi-
lures of the leading nations for army
and navy today are several times as
great as in 1913.
Our Government should Immediately
invite all the nations to join 1t in pro-
gresSive disarmament on land and sea,
with a view to the reduction of armies
and navies until they will represent y
force sufficient only for the preServa-
tiOn of domestic order and the policing
of the seas. If all nations cannot be
brought into such an agreement we
should cooperate with such nations as
will join US and go as far as they can
be persuaded to go. The United States
should stand for the maximum o. dis
armament-for all that can be secured
and at the earliest possible moment.
Our nation should do even more. If
other nations will not join us, we
should have the faith and the coura sc
to set an example by acting alone, if
necessary. We should call upon the
masses throughout the world to urge
their governments into disarmament.
The professional soldiers and the navy
heads in the Old World can hardly be
expected to lead in such a movement.
Their business tends almost irresist-
IDLY to create in them an exaggerated
idea of the necessity for force. just as
their separation from the producing
masses makes them less sensitive to
the weight of the peoples burdens.

A TIMELY OBSERVANCE

The observances attending the UNI
yelling, in VeneZuela's capital of the
statue of George Washington and in
New York of Simon Bolivar, Patriots
Day, were timely as well as gracious.
For one thing it afforded President
Harding an opportunity to say OF the
Monroe Doctrine: THE history of the
generations since that doctrine was
proposed has proven that we never
intended it selfishly, that we had no
dream of exploitation. On the other
side the history of the last decade
must have convinced all the world
that we stand willing to fight, if nee
essary, to protect these continents,
these sturdy young democrats from
oppression"
Every American knows those words
are true. However much of selfish
purpose may be back of some of the
influences affecting the relations be-
tween the Americans, it is fact that
the people Of this country do not and
never have wished to take from our
neighbors what belonged to them. If
we appeared to do this in our war
with Mexico it was not because of
popular desire to take that which be-
longed to another Given a clear I'M
derstanding Of the matters at issue
our South American neighbors may
trust their neighbors on the North.
And to such a clear understanding
the ceremonies on Tuesday contrib
ute.
One feature Of this contribution is
to recall Simon Solivar, of whom the
Encyclopedia Britannica says: "In the
career of this remarkable man, which
was often embittered and was per-
haps shortened by the suspicious and
ISLANDERS of his colleagues in the
work of liberation, certain circum-
stances, apparently we'll established
SIdnU Out, WHICH deserve particular
mention. He expended nine-tenths of
splendid patrimony in the service
Of the country, and although he had
for considerable period unlimited
control over the revenues of three
countries.-Colombia, Peru, and Bo-
livia,-he died without shilling of
the public money in his possession"
When a young man he came to the
United States and here acquired def
mite ideas of the kind of government
he wished to have established in
South America. and throughout his
career. which would not have been
possible but for the friendly attitude
of this country, he must have known
that he had the good wishes of the
American people. We are fortunate to
have opportunity to pay tribute to
such accomplishments and renew
our acquaintance with the ways of
the world when our far seeing men
