PEACE GROUP TOLD
TASK IS COMPLETE
Head of American Society
Says Period for Agitation
Has Come to an End.

The American Peace Society, which
was formed only few years after Brit
ish armed forces burned the White
House in the War Of 1912. was told by
its retiring president today that its
work in agitating for world peace Is at
an end.
Henceforth the society will devote
itself to expert study Of existing pacific
agencies in international affairs and in
realms of industry, education, social
work, religion and 1.-THE various proc
esses Of justice"
Plans to bring business men into
active participation in peace efforts are
part of a general program announced
today by william Fortune. Mr.. For
tune, who succeeded the late Senator
Theodore E. Burton Of Ohio as head
of the organization In 1928, declined
reelection.
Ready for Practical Work.
Instead Of agitating for peace and
working on the assumption that people
first must be convinced that war is not
necessary, the society, after 100 years
of activity, believes that world peace
Is within the grasp Of all the nations
and that the society Is now ready for
the practical work OF establishing
peace"
1.-THE sentiment for peace" said Mr..
Fortune In annual report to the board
of directors, "has been sufhciently DEM
onstrated to prove the universal de-
end Of sentiment"
The practical work envisioned by the
directors comprehends the use Of sys-
tenn of referenda which Mr.. Fortune be-
lieves will give the society great in
fiuence upon national thought and &C.
ton" The first referendum taken
among the membership will be on par
ticipation of this country in an inter-
national court.
1.-THE statement Of information and
opinions pro and con to be submitted
to the societys membership by o COM
mittee of leaders in international at
fairs" said Mr.. Fortune, Should be an
outstanding contribution to public con-
sideration Of the question.
Need Constructive Thought.
eat q time when so many are active
In publicly advocating futile, irrational
and destructive proposals in the name
of the peace movement, there Is dire
need Of constructive thought and ac-
ton" the retiring president asserted
"Inefe are pI6CLlCdA kAo0ACkAS VI VIC
solved, yet, unfortunately, there are
some whose thoughts and actions are
subversive to our own Government. In
such q time, the program of the Amer
lean Peace Society should appeal to
Americans who desire peace, but feel
that there must be first of all nothing
of disloyalty to our Government and
nothing destructive to efforts to attain
permanent peace"
at London, which President Hoover
transmitted to the Senate yesterday.
was described by Mr.. Fortune as being
ordinarily Of economic benefit" ut
is also encouraging as evidence Of prog
ress toward abandonment of means OF
warfare and removal Of the menace OF
wars" he said.
"The nations of the world have
agreed that there shall be no more war
and that problems heretofore regarded
as causes for war shall be settled by
peaceful means" he said. THE prob
lem, therefore, is narrowed to the boun-
diaries of pacific means. We are at the
Journeys end of sentiment"

such as pageants, programs, historical
facts regarding different events, every
bit of assistance, so that they can cele-
brate and keep on celebrating on all
the different holidays and fete days In
1882, so as to make Washington better
understood.
I'VE are not working for merely Q
local celebration in the National Capt.
tai. That is not our thought. We will
do just as much for Portland, Greg.
Dallas, Tex, or Boston, Mass, as we
will for the District Of Columbia. The
various patriotic organizations will be
asked to join with US, 80 as to make this
celebration q success, and we are plan
ming something really worth while for
the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts Of the
country.
Trip Abroad This Year.
IT intend to 60 abroad this Summer
and visit the foreign countries and get
the ideas of their governments for par
ticipation in the bicentennial celebra-
ton.
I'm the short space of time that the
associate directors have been function
ing resolutions have been passed by q
large number Of organizations, repre-
senting millions of people, pledging
themselves to assist in every way pos
sible in this celebration.
"A talking motion picture In eolors
Is to be produced on the life of George
Washington that will be made histori-
cally correct. This should live for cen
turtles as record Of the greatest events
of Washington's life, and on every fu-
ture Washington's birthday anniversary
1t can be shown In churches. schools,
lodge rooms and theaters. It will thus
assist materially in educating the peo-
pie about Washington and arousing
their patriotism.
1.-THE Washington colors of blue and
buff will be used wherever possible dur
ing the year 1882.
at would dwell upon the fact that the
Government Is to issue in IS volumes
the definitive writings of George Wash
ington; also a chart and atlas that will
give the historical places that WASH
ington really visited.
eft was Washington's great devotion
to duty which more than anything else
contributed to make us what We are
today. We should not forget his lessons
In government. He always directed a
safe plan to meet all possible condi-
tons and circumstances. After all these
years his judgment Is indicated. We
should not forget that he was q great
general and q great executive, q great
friend Of education, great champion
Of labor, q great public servant.
1--WE should remember that Washing
ton believed in religion, and not forget
that he was the greatest optimist that
ever lived.
I'VE should teach that, although
Washington was a great advocate of
religion, education and industry, he also
was soldier, q general, an executive
and legislator, politician and diplomat,
. farmer and business man, Q promoter
and an explorer.
Washington was all Of these things
and many more. believe all people
should be given an opportunity to learn
gave to the world and to humanity
and the greatest Of all is free govern
ment."
