Committee for Non-Participa-
tion in japanese Aggression.
The impression has somehow
been given that this organiza-
ton. which seeks to halt what
Congressman Coffee calls the
"inhumane and shoddy business
Of providing Japan with scrap
metal for its munitions, is some
how a closed group. May 1
declare TO your readers that this
impression is erroneous.
We have reason TO believe
that the vast majority of the
citizens of this community are
in sympathy with the efforts
of this committee to put an end
to Tacoma's participation in the
japanese invasion. Membership
in the committee is open to all
who wish to translate this SYM
patty into active help.
Last year saw great portions
of the world given over to war
and despotism. In that year we,
a progressive community in a
democratic nation, shipped thou
sands of tons Of war materials
to the powers who seek to de-
stroy our way of life. Can any
one say after witnessing the
events of recent hours. that our
blame will be less in 1889 if We
default on our obligations as a
peaceful and democratic people?
The Tacoma Committee for
Non Participation in Japanese
Aggression will meet Monday
evening. March %, at S O'Clock,
at the Y.WCA. The door will
be open to all.
