Former Army Chief
Points to FutiIity Of
Aiding BeIIigerents
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-"Not one
cent; not one soldier" should be
the Nations reply to any appeal
from European belligerents for aid,
says Gen. Charles P. Summerall,
former chief OF staff Of the U. S.
Army.
Let the American people resolve
never again to engage in wars not
made upon them" he asserted in
an address last night to the Union
League Club.
There can be no greater fallacy
than to say we should save others
from defeat. We cannot set
tie their quarrels nor maintain the
balance of power in Europe"
Warns Against Aggressors.
He declared that United States
participation in the World War
turned almost certain defeat into
victory for the allies, but that in
return the Nation received little
from them but criticism. abuse, con-
tempt and reputation"
The former Army chief, now
president of the Citadel Military
College, said the Nations armed
forces should be made sufficiently
strong to deter aggressors from
challenging any territory in the
Western Hemisphere.
THE aggressor nations" he as
serted, "are driven to conquest by
any overproduction of manpower
for their resources. The Americas
must inevitably become their prey.
Draft Legislation Urged.
We should abandon the Monroe
Doctrine or prepare to defend it.
Otherwise we may at any time find
ourselves in a losing war. That is
the teaching of history"
Gen. Summerall said 'native-born
traitors" and aliens engaged in sub
versive activities should be treated
as public enemies" He advocated
military training for youth and leg
islation for drafting capital and
property as well as manpower dur
ing war.

industry was not directed against
labor.
Legitimate labor activity always
has been respected" said Mr.. Ar
mold, head of the departments
Antitrust Division. There has
not been any action against labor
unions as such, but only in cases
where unions or their officers have
been used to create q scarcity or
some other restraint on commerce.
Certainly there has been no. action
because Of = unions efforts to get;
better wages, hours or working con-
ditions." g.es-.
Cleveland is the fourth city ID
which union officials have been in-
dicted since the department ans
nounced early in October that 1t
would conduct Nation-wid In
quiry In the hope Of seeing con-
struction costs lowered Indict-
ments have been returned also in
ST. Louis, Pittsburgh and WASH
ington.
Nine Under Indictment.
A Federal grand jury at Cleveland
yesterday indicted nine individuals,
three corporations and an associa-

cipline and the right balance of
arms in an army of thousands or
hundreds of thousands? For proof
of this, we may turn to Poland,
where bombers cut all staff COM
munications groups and the army
fought helplessly without integral
command.
So, on this Armistice Day, this war
suggests a tribute to Gen. Pershing
in more than the way he kept the
faith with our military tradition in
victory as constitutional soldier of
a democracy.
There is a gentle conspiracy to
guard his health, to which he sub
mits with occasional human protests
as subordinate soldier who ex-
pected subordination from those I'M
der him.
The Army is practicing the PERISH
ing recipe for keeping us out of war
Those further interested might bear
in mind the army he made in France
as warning to leave us alone
