BE SURE TO VOTE ON THE
MONITOR PEACE PLAN BALLOT

L While there is a great interest
this week in local voting, let Cody
go on record in an international
way, as it has locally, and vote yes
ballots to be found in the Chris
tian Science Monitor. which is be-
ing mailed this week by Monitor
readers to their friends.
Mr.. Capper, Republican senator
from Kansas, has been an aggressive
supporter of the plan for universal
mobilization In time of war, en-
dorsed by the Christian Science
Monitor. He is the sponsor in the
senate of the proposed act, framed
by the American Legion, to take
the profit out of war"
He quotes a Kansas %doughboy:
I'm the e war / am going to
let the profiteer do my fighting.
I'm going to stand on the street
corner and cheer him as he marches
away. out yonder to the mud and
the coolies and the night-fying
bombing planes. And while he's
down at camp, waiting for e~ntrain-
ing orders. I'm going to send him a
nice tissue-paper rain coat" Be-

Capper. If this cannot be done
will the future doughboy find much
that deserves shouldering arms to
defend?
Patriotism alone will not stop
~profiteering, for what you are fight
ing against is group greed"
The Monitor of May 8 is largely
devoted to stopping the horrors of
No Mans Land, that there may be
no further sacrifices of our children
to the wartime Moloch.
The Monitor lays no claim to the
exclusive authorship of the conscrip-
ton plan. Says this paper, ut was
bruited in the cabinet of President
Wilson during the recent war, but
never came to practical adoption"
1t was well on its way through the
Wal Industries board when the con-
f1ict ended.
This plan is only claimed by the
Monitor as a deterrent to war. The
leading Monitor editorial states:
I'VE believe that If adopted by
the United States the plan would be
promptly initiated by other civilized
peoples"
The Monitor is submitting this
plan to the great American jury es-
timated at 100000 persons aud
they hope that SO great a volume
ov votes will be cast that it will
represent a cross-section of Amer
lean citizenship.
