Of you to give publicity to this
briefer statement.
The charges were in substance that
as Executive Secretary of the Ma
tional Council for Reduction of
Armaments l have been promoting
the NO More War" movement in
the interest of Soviet Russia and am
a paid Soviet agent"

the Woman Patriot" has declared.
The NO More War" movement is
an expression of world wide pas
sion on the part of the common peo-
pie to make the past war the last
war. Stronger in European coun-
tries like England and Germany tfan
here, it is beginning to be recognized
here also as the great issue Of our
time. The farmers. the women. the
churches of all faiths, the educators,
the business men, and labor groups
agree on this if on nothing else. War
is a curse to the human race that
must be abolished or it will wipe
out our white civilization.
The National Council for Reduction
of ArmamentS believes that war can
not be ended by sentiment nor by
wishing. Its roots run deep. Ideaiistic
theories will be swept aside by eco
nomic pressure if we drift on hoping
for peace. A practical program is
absolutely essential to success.
