Pittsburgh, April 30-A program of
education against war that will es-
tablish world -wide understanding
too great and too sound to be bro
ken down by national or imperial
oovetousness" is the present-day
need, Attorney General Sargent de-
clared in an address tonight before
the Carnegie Institute.
AThe desire for peace" he said,
must grow fromswithin; enough in
dividuals must recognize fact in
place of propaganda"
Calling attention to the huge cost
OF approximately $4,000, 000, 900 to
the ~ nations drawn into the world
conflict and the great tragedy in the
death of 100000 men and the in
curing Of billions Of dollars in debts.
the attorney general asked:
Is It any wonder that out OF this
world wide horror is born a world
wide desire that some way be found
to prevent Its recurrence-to insure
q permanent peace?"
Although we may not yet see the
remedy, we thoroughly appreciate the
terrible disease, and we know some
OF the causes which can be removed.
80 closely interlocked today are
the interests of nations, of peoples,
that when two engage in a life and
death struggle, the fate Of all is en-
|dangered. Commercially, financially;
ractaly and socially the whole sur
face of the globe is so closely end
firmly bound together with inter-
locking threats that there is almost
certain to be world peace or world
war"
Before the influence Of the United
States can be given to a method for
peaceful sediment of national diff
ferences without derogation from
our own dignity, honor, and inde-
pendence" the attorney general said.
there will have. to be eliminated
from the councils. either the presence
or the voices of clamorous pretenders
whose only contribution is to stand
and declare continuously their own
patriotism and decry the motives Of
everyone who suggests. offers for
consideration, something construc-
tive"
Declaring the. days Of suspicion,
anxiety and horror Immediately fol-
lowing the close Of the war have
passed, Mr.. Sargent said the sonly
purpose a man of true patriotism
can entertain now is to help. not him
der"
He called on all to put aside pre-
conceived notions, prejudice and
passion, and approach the subject
with whole hearted desire to try to
accomplish something effective to the
end so devoutly to- be wished for
an understanding, a resolution, that
war shall not come, means of curb
ing lust to take what belongs to
others-a realization of a universal
desire for lasting peace In all the
world"
