Majority Want Peace.
The overwhelming majority OF the
peoples and nations Of the world today
want to live in peace. They seek the
removal Of barriers against trade.
They want to exert themselves in in
dustry, in agriculture and in business.
that they may increase their wealth
through the production Of wealth.
producing goods rather than striving
to produce military planes and bombs
and machine guns and cannon for
the destruction of human lives and
useful property.
In those nations of the world which
seem to be piling armament on arma-
ment for purposes OF aggression and
those other nations which fear acts
Of aggression against them and their
security 4 very high proportion of
the national income Is being spent
| directly for armaments. 1t runs from
80 to as high as so per cent.
The proportion that we in the
United States spend is far less-11 or
IL per cent.
How happy we are that the circum-
stances Of the moment permit us to
put our money into bridges and boule-
wards, dams and reforestation, the
conservation OF our soil and many
other kinds of useful works rather
than into huge standing armies and
vast supplies of implements of war.
10 Per Cent Threatens Rest.
I am compelled and you are COM
PEELED, nevertheless, to look ahead.
The peace, the freedom and the
security Of 80 per cent of the popula-
tion OF the world is being jeopardized
by the remaining 10 per cent, who are
threatening a breakdown Of all inter-
national order and law. Surely the
30 per cent who want to live in peace
under law and in accordance with
moral standards that have received
almost universal acceptance through
the centuries can and must find some
way to make their will prevail.
The situation is definitely Of uni
verSal concern. The questions involved
| relate not merely to violations of
specific provisions OF particular
treaties; they are questions Of war
and of peace, OF international law and
especially Of principles OF humanity.
1t is true that they involve definite
violations of agreements, and espe-
cially Of the Covenant Of the League
Of Nations, the Briand-Kellogg pact
and the nine-power treaty. But they
also involve problems of world
economy. world security and world
humanity.
1t is true that the moral conscious
ness Of the world must recognize the
Importance Of removing injustices and
well-founded grievances, but at the
same time it must be aroused to the
cardinal necessity of honoring sanctity
Of treaties, Of respecting the rights
and liberties OF others and of putting
an end to acts of international ag-
greSsion.
Epidemic Spreads.

that the epidemic of world lawless-
ness is spreading

ciples Of the Prince Of Peace must be
restored. Shattered trust between ma
tions must be revived.
Most important Of all, the win for
peace on the part Of peace loving
nations must express itself to the end
that nations that may be tempted to
violate their agreements and the rights
OF others will desist from such . cause.
There must be positive endeavors to
preserve peace.

health OF the community against the
spread Of the disease.
1t is my determination to pursue q
policy of peace and to adopt every
practicable measure to avoid involve
ment in war. 1t ought to be in
conceivable that in this modern era
and in the face Of experience any ma
ton could be so foolish and ruthless
as to run the risk OF plunging the
whole world into war by invading
and violating incontravention of SOL
emn treaties the territory of other
nations that have done them no real
harm and which are too weak to
protect themselvs adequately. Yet
the peace OF the world and the well
fare and security Of every nation is
today being threatened by that very
thing.
No nation which refuses to exercise
forbearance and to respect the freedom
and rights of others can long remain
strong and retain the confidence and
respect of other nations. No nation
ever loses its dignity or good standing
by conciliating its differences and by
exercising great patience with and
consideration for the rights Of other
nations.
May Feel Wars Effects.
War is a contagion, whether it be
declared or undeclared. 1t can engulf
states and peoples remote from the
original scene Of hostilities. We are
determined to keep out of war, yet we
cannot insure ourselves against the
disastrous effects Of war and the
danger Of involvement. We are adopt
ing such measures as will minimize
our risk of involvement but we cannot
have complete protection in a world
Of disorder in which confidence and
security have broken down.

EVEN HEAT FOR COMFORT

Authorities stress the Importance of even
heat in the home. Anthracite provides even
heat -. the same kind of heat as the sun.
1t continues to glow. 1t does not switch on
and off like oil or gas. This even heat means
that floors are kept warm for children TO play
on. 1t means more com lort for everyone.
Thus, Anthracite contributes to healthier,
and more enjoyable life -. and costs much
less besides.

Besides Saving Lots Of Money on Fuel
We're Getting Far Better Heat

Here is great news. At last, families such
a. ours, with moderate incomes, can have
most modern automatic heat, and actually
save an impressive amount of money besides.
Last season we checked all kinds of auto.
matte heat. The first good news came when
we learned that with automatic Anthracite
heat we could have most modern heating
conveniences. and still use the good furnace
we had.
"After all, we realized that our furnace,
like most furnaces and boilers. was built to
burn Anthracite. So, with Anthracite we need
not suffer the make e-shift installation needed
by other fuels.
I'VE did the wise thing. We had an auto
matte Anthracite burner installed. 1t is al.
