STRONG PLEA FOR

OF JUDGES TALK
Clark Stresses Provision
In Colorado Bill For
Servicemen

Generous applause greeted Judge
Robert Clark of Los Angeles fol-
lowing his introduction to those at
tending the Armistice Day exercis-
es at Imperial today, at which he
was the chief speaker. The judge
made a strong plea for peace and
for the care of those who suffered
from the effects Of the World War.
His remarks were frequently in
terrupted by applase, particularly
when he referred to the Swing John
son bin and the benefits itprovides
for ex-service men. In part Judge
Clark said;
"The first and foremost duty Of
any nation is to protect in peace
those upon whom she must rely in
war. The policy af calling men to
the colors when patriotism is ram
pant must be followed, after war is
over, by solicitude and care of those
who have been invaded in the con
flict Our nation and the states
should mark out definite and co
ordinated policy for the care of vet
erans, their widows and orphans.
There was time in history
when men were given land in return
for their military service. To be
sure, il was dependent upon the will
and caprice of tn ovcrlord; but
the policy Of awarding landed prop
erty to those who rendered military
service is as old as civilization it
self.
