PRIVATE PEAT
"The Inexcusable Lie"

Zealand, the British West Indies: has visited South America. England France, Germany and other European countries, and has now returned to the United States to resume his place on the lecture platform.
 Peat has analysed and investigated, through the courtesy of the Ministers of Education, the schools and text books of various nations. He has had interviews with, and carries letters from the Ministers of Education of such countries as England, Canada, Mexico. Spain, etc. From this method of thorough investigation he has de- termined. in his opinion, the funda- mental reason for the causes of war. As a soldier who has experienced in all its depth and breadth the horrors of war. he now stands as a soldier who advocates world peace through education.
 Hls popular book, Private Peat, n published several years ago, was widely read and commented upon. Another book. @1ha Inexcusabie Eie. which follows the thought of this lee ture. is soon to be released by his publishers.
 Ia addition to his lecture work, Pri- vafe Peat Is correspondent for vari- oas newspapers and syudleates.
 His great new lecture, inspired by a desire tu help prevent further world and to bring peace and good will C. nations. should be heard by every man, woman, youth and child

 Although having eonspieuously serv- ed his country in the World War, Pri- vate Peat does not believe in warfare as a means of adjusting differences. but points to more sane and feasible methods of settling trying situations and insuring permanent peace.
 In his frank. challenging address, 'The Inezeusable Lie, Private Peat brings out the facts that from a childs earliest period of perception and understanding he is taught, quite uno0nsciously hy his elders.
