Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-02-27

Washington, D. Culture wars
will be won in the air by methods
more terrible than ever known before,
the National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics declared in a report sub
mitted to Congress thru President
Coolidge, urging better aerial pre-
paredness for the United States.
"There will be Individual and group
fighting in the air; there will be air
craft attacking troops on the ground
both with bombs dropped from great
heights and with machine guns mount
ed on low flying aircraft protected
by armour from ordinary bullets;
there will be bombing of large cities,
military and manufacturing centers,
and routes of communication and
transportation"
The report further says: "And it
has been proposed that aircraft be
used to drop poisonous gases, not only
on the enemy troops but also behind
the lines and in the centers of popula-
ton, to the same extent that long dis
tance bombing is carried on.
\"The bombs may not be limited to
explosives and poisonous gases but
may also be loaded with germs to
spread disease and pestilence."
DR.. Gertrude Woker, Swiss mem
ber of the Woman's International
League for Peace and Freedom, who
was delegate to the Washington
Conference and who is the head of
the Biological Chemistry Laboratory
at the University of Berne, Switzer-
land, has written an interesting
pamphlet on poison gas. The follow
ing are few of the things she says
in her article:
"There can scarcely be a greater
contradiction between the protection

times and the brutality with which

Convict Labor Is
Opposed in Tenn.

Chattanooga, Tenn.-The trades and
labor council calls on Governor Peay,
chairman of the state prison board, to
end the convict labor system in this
state. The unionists declare that con-
tracing of the labor of convicts is but
a subterfuge for the antiquated and
bar5arous system of leasing prison
ers. The state executive is urged to
put an end once and for all to this
system which enriches private parties
at the expense of the states unfor-
tupates."

This would give us taste of the

thing of the real picture-not the one
