 We must reach an agreement as to what is right and wrong before peace can come, he added. We are in a world that is morally topsy- turvy, he said. There is just as much authorization for wrong as for right today. We must increase the area of agreement on moral prob lems, he said.
 Although the maiming and mur- der of thousands of men, women and children in Spain is horrible it is just as tragic that the other coun- tries read about the happenings there in the daily press, yet sit by and do nothing to stop it. Our liln- ited world conceptions do not allow us to interfere. There is need to work for the propagation of moral ideas in which we can all believe so that if something breaks but con- trary to these ideas, we can rise up in some sort of protest, the rabbi declared.
 Let us make the recurrence of war less frequent. Mutual knowledge and mutual respect will help to do this. " He urged the people to get away from their illogical racial preju. dice" and refrain from generalizing on basis of inadequate information. All Jews don't set fire to their stores and all Jews are not money mad, he said smilingly in pointing out that often race is criticized as a whole for the action of a few of its members. He urged the spread of corre- spondence and talk on peace and ex- pressed the hope for another cru sade, mot to recover the sepulchre of Christ but to recover the spirit oi Christ"

Rabbi Lyon Talks
 Stating that unless we have peace, we are going to have world in pieces, Rabbi Alexander Lyon of Brooklyn urged more cooperation among peoples today, abolition of racial prejudices and said there are too many "isrns' such as denomina- tionalisms, ritualism, nationalism.
 There is not a single problem in human life which cannot be faced and solved, he said. So we must apply ourselves to the problem of peace. We are denied the chance for many things because we have to feed the appetite of the hungry monster we call war, he asserted.
 By not working for peace you are endangering the chances of your children finding reasonable happi- ness. If we subscribe to the belief of the presence of a Supreme Being, we have got to be brotherly to each other. We cannot lose sight of the fact that fundamentally. spiritually, morally we still are brothers no

to the wall, what would this nation do if Britain asked, Are you going to help us out?'" he asked. Should America ever again send its army and navy to save democracy in the old world? That question is some- thing which may conceivably be asked in the not too far distant fu- ture. he said, and declared it is a thing we should think through now. "ShouId America stand by and watch dictatorship wipe democracy from the face of Europe?"
 He indicated the answer to this should be "yes.' "If Great Britain can't refrain from getting into al1- other war, if 1t can't maintain free dom and democracy, the very least we can do is to keep democracy alive in the New World" MT. Hart said. we cannot save democracy by sacrificing democracy.
 The World war cost will reach up- wards of 100 billion dollars, which will be borne by succeeding genera tions, he declared. How successful were we in keeping the world safe for democracy?" @
 Before the war, democracy was making much progress but since that war, 1t has slipped back in Europe with Relationships gaining. DO you think if we send more Amer ican boys into Europe to die in Flanders field that we would thereby save democracy?p'
 "The next war will be. a war to the death-to the death of civiliza- ton. Do we want to assist in the imposition of another Versailles treaty and SOW the seeds of injus- tice? The answer to this question is no"
 Must Have Common Ground
 Expressing the opinion that ex- treme pacifism wil! not best further the cause of peace. he said a way must be found on which the major ity of patriotic Americans can unite It must commend itself to such or .ganizations as the American Legion the D. A. R.. the Kiwanians, the Rotary clubs and the churches.
 It must be a common meeting ground on which right-minded Americans, the typical American citizen. can be more or less unani- nous. he said. He then cited several things which he believes the ma jor- ity of persons here agree upon.
 The majority would prepare to take what steps might be necessary to see that American soil is not in- vaded by cruel and unscrupulous foe, he said. The ma jority also would want this country to refrain from oppression and aggression on the rest of the world, they would not want us to be guilty of invading some innocent country, such as the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, the Japanese invasion of Manchukuo, he declared.
 T believe the majority are agreed we don't want to send our army and our navy to fight wars of Europe and Asia. We don't want to send our forces to provide insurance for American corporations in those con- tinents or even to safeguard Ameri- can commerce in other nations" he asserted.

Opposes Huge Navy

He said he believes considerable portion of the people here are op- posed to our keeping large navy mainly for the purpose of protect- ing the Philippine Islands. He point- ed out the Philippines are farther from San Francisco than Japan is. To defend them against settlement by the Japanese and Japanese coni- inerce, 1t means we would have to build a tremendous navy. That is an old bureaucratic policy, he averred.
 President Roosevelt should extend the good neighbor" policy he re- gently effected between the U. s. and other countries of America to all the countries of the world, he said. It would mean good business and would reduce the dangers of military involvement, he asserted.
 The American people do not want their navy to be an aggressor force. he said. Some say attack Is the best defense but 1t is that attitude that cause wars" He pointed out that a billion and half is spent on educa- tion in this country annually and one billion dollars, only a half-bil- ion less than the education cost, is is spent for armaments.
 He warned against a bill which would give the president the power to draft four million men when con- vress declared war. This is meant to impose the hardshipS of war on the people who stay at home as well as on those in the trenches, but there is the danger of dictatorship if the wrong kind of president holds office.

NEEDS MORE THAN MONEY

The agitation for Federal aid to edu-
cation continues. Rep. Thomas B. Fetch
er, of Ohio, one of the sponsors of bill to
provide such assistance, says there are A.
100000 persons in this country who can
not read or write their own name, that one
third of our children are taught by $780,
900 teachers who receive less than $3.50 a
year and by 10000 teachers who receive
less than $500 year.
This is bad situation, undoubtedly.
1t should be remedied but let no one be-
lieve that it can be done merely by throw
ing more money into the educational pro-
cesses. Basically, there must be something
else behind a program than money and
better salaries, although these things win
help.
There was time in the United States
when an education was worth the money
it cost from an economic standpoint. An
educated boy or girl could make better
living than one who was not so we'll edu-
Gated Today, however, the statement is
not always true. Sometimes we see exam
Piles that prove that, for some reason, the
earning power of the individual has not
been increased by education.
