Aiming Toward World Wide Peace
Spirit of Militarism Gain.
ing Through Training of
Boys in Schools, Rev.
w. H. Anderson Says.

That the spirit OF militarism Is
making headway in the United
States, and that its foundation Is
composed Of lies. Misrepresentation
and shackled minds. were warnings
uttered by Rev. w. H. Anderson in
his sermon on "Militarism" at Trini-
ty M. L. church Sunday morning.
The spirit Of militarism. he said,
had it's climax during the World
War. when millions of people were
made to believe that their enemies
in war were barbarians and prac-
ticed barbarianism. None OF the
stories had ever been substantiated
In fact, the minister declared. No
children mutilated by the enemy
had ever been located in Belgium, he
said, and he personally investigated
a story that men had been crucified.

legged atrocity was said to have

ed, land after making diligent in
quiry in the neighborhood all could
locate was people who had heard
about the crucifxion but not one
person who had seen it."
Hate Manufactured
Such stories. the minister said,
were told in order to engender hate
against the enemy.
1T Is very hard to get a man to
point a high powered rifle at another
mana rife with sufficient power
to send a bullet through nine men
standing behind one another-and
pull the trigger. The military sys-

mind must be poisoned with suffi-
cient lies to cause him a harbor
hate against the other man before
he pulls the trigger"

Public Mass Meeting in
This City Resolves Into
Movement to Outlaw
Armed Strife.

A memorial calling for the adop-
tion Of the Kellogg multilateral
treaty for renouncing war as an in
strument Of national policy was
adopted and signed by 500 persons
last night at the Stanley Arena as
New Britain celebrated the tenth
anniversary Of Armistice Day by do
ing honor to those who had given
their lives in past wars and by lend
ing the weight of it's influence to the
movement to prevent repetition of
the need of such sacrifice. This
memorial was introduced and its
adoption moved by Rev. Theodore A.
Greene. pastor OF the First Congre-
gational church, was accepted by a
rising vote, and will be forwarded to
Washington, d. c.. as a recommen-
dation to the president and senate.
Text Of Memorial
The memorial is worded as fol-
lows:
I'VE the undersigned citizens Of
the United States, profoundly be-
lieve that our government should
cooperate to the fullest extent with
the other nations OF the world in
taking effective steps toward the
substitution Of peaceful methods for
those of force in the settlement of
disputes between nations.
I'VE therefore heartily rejoice that
the pact of Paris renouncing war
was signed on August 27. 1928. by
the United States and II other ma
tions and that invitations were ex-
tended to ~ additional nations to
become signatories. In giving our
enthusiastic endorsement to this
multilateral anti-war treaty We de-
| clare our belief:
Il. That war shall be renowned
and never again be resorted to by
civilized nations as the means fer
settling disputes. enforcing national
claims or seeking national objectives.
"2. That war should be made a
crime by specific provision of inter-
national law.
"3. That the settlement of every
threatening dispute. whatever its
nature, should never be sought ex-
cept by pacific means.
Il. That even regarding disputes
which the nations involved may not
be ready to submit to arbitration or
judicial settlement, they shall never
theless pledge themselves not to re-
sort to war.
"5. That solemn engagements
| pledging the good faith of the ma
1ions in these vital matters are es-
sential to the development of the
| spirit Of mutual confidence. which
must precede a general movement
for thorough-going disarmament
I'VE therefore respectfully express
to President Coolidge and the senate
our earnest hope and desire that the
multilateral treaty for renouncing
war as an instrument OF national
policy, now before the nations, may
be promptly ratified"
The service was Of a community
and patriotic nature and was held
