PLAN for peace, we might feel very
differently about our response to
their appeal for help today. If the
churches, instead of reiterating their
pious desire for peace, had formu-
lated a PLAN, then there never
would have been this war. Instead,
injustices. embargoes, blockades,
punishments, reprisals went serene
ly on. Nobody cared about adjust
ing the pernicious terms of the
peace treaties, because everyone
was too busy forming plans for the
next war.
They Never Have Enough.
This has been going on in Europe
for five hundred years. They've had
Hundred Years war, Thirty
Years war, religious wars, civil
wars. They've always given high
moral reasons for their wars.
They've always wanted Just one
more, ito end all wars" They've
always grabbed, separately, every
thing in the way of spoils that they
could get, after the war, and they've
never surrendered one inch of what
they got.
This Mothers Legion must mount
to a membership of two million to
be able to WELD the influence we
want to have it WELD. We're well
on our way to that two million al
ready. We probably will make it
five million. Five million votes will
swing any candidate to victory in
1910; half that number will. We
want all our representatives and es-
pecially our Chief Executive, to
pledge US their solemn word that
under no pressure, under no circum-
stances, under no threats that 1--WE
will be next" will we ever engage
again in foreign wars. We want to
be SO organized that if our people in
Washington fail us, and 60 back on
their promises, we can impeach
them.
Don't wait, if you want to help.
Don't wait until propaganda has
done its deadly work, and the bands
begin to play, and the service flags
begin to mount upon village flag
poles, and the boys of your family

HERE is an organization now
in process of formation in
= America that you ought to join.
This organizations name is the
Mothers Legion.
II you are among the millions of
us who have been saying since 1919
that you wish you could do some
thing about war;" then this is your
chance.
II you don't take this chance then
don't complain if we get into the
preposterous and unnecessary
scrap, that is seething all over Eu-
rope, and then one day your boy
marches away.
He may never come back. In that
case you pack up his sweaters and
camera and school pictures and
tramping boots, and the fishing pole
and tennis racket, and you send
them to the Salvation Army and
you close the door of his room. And
you close door in your heart, for
ever.
But Of course he may come back.
They may bring him very tenderly
to the door on a stretcher and he
may grope for your hand and say
in that dear voice you love best in
all the world, ''Is that you, nom?
They got my eyes and my knee.
You and dad knew that?"
And for few days everyone will
be kind. Neighbors, friends Old and
new will drop in to cheer up that
splendid Baker boy who was SO bad
ly smashed and is now back at his
home again. 1853
Then they'll stop. He'll sit, in his
broken, wasted, silent youth, in the
sunny front room; he'll have the
radio; he'll master Braille. You'll
talk to him, as you come and 60,
and tell him that his old pal Joe
Davis has married lovely girl, and
that they are sending Billy Brown
to the Australian branch, wonderful
chance for Billy! And Sister Kate
has darling baby. Would Keith
like to hold his young nephew for a
few minutes?
You'll see his face grow more and
more sober, as the months 60 by;
you'll see him droop little. And
in 1860, when he's middle-aged, still
blind and helpless and idle in his
sunny window. and when you're get
ting to be an old lady, you'll read
him a headline. They're talking of
starting another war over in Europe
again, Keith"
Because what we Americans can
not understand, and never will I'M
derstand, is that the war theory is
part of their scheme over there.
They believe in war. They believe
that the side that kills the greatest
number of young men and blows up
the greatest number of innocent vii
lagos MUST be right. They've be-
lieved that since the days of Charlie
magne. They're proving again to-
day that they think might is right.
If neighbor believes something
that you don't, then you kill him to
prove that what you believe is the
truth.
Our point of view is different. We
know that the theology we must de-
stroy, and the only theology we must
destroy. is the delusion that might
ID right. That the most powerful
army il the army Of God. That war

The recent Republican national
committee meeting in Washington
gave no indication of a swing to
any one G. o. p. presidential candi-
date, but party chieftains have made
up their minds about the man they
will have to beat in November.
The G. o. p. high command now
is going seriously on the assump-
ton that President Roosevelt will
seek third term and is mapping
campaign plans accordingly. This
was the keynote of the national COM
mittee meeting here, the specter
that haunted every discussion be-
hind closed doors, over luncheon ia
bles, tavern bars and in hotel lob
bies.
Omens which have influenced this
conclusion in the minds of party
leaders are: First-the Presidents
switching of the Thanksgiving date.
G. o. P. heavy thinkers argue that
in breaking this sacred tradition,
Roosevelt was conditioning" the
voting public for the overturn of
another.
SecOnd-the weak sister" type OF
Democratic candidates being pro-
NOTED as Roosevelt successors.
Some G. o. Peers believe that Hull,
McNutt, ct al, are "clay pigeon"
candidates put up for purposes Of
"unfiattering comparison" with the
President.
Another third term harbinger
raised in executive session of the
national committee is the waning
hope for peace" in Europe, which
plays right into the hands of third
term advocates.
Merry-Go-Round.
When the President makes a
speech he keeps his place on the
manuscript with two fingers of his
left hand. They move from line to
line as he reads down the page. He
uses his right hand to grasp the
rostrum.

Wheeler, wife of the Montana sena-
tor, snapped, Don't you know bet
ter than to ask a thing like that in

In preparation for the forthcoming
congressional primaries, the Town
sendites have set up a special COM
mittee to pass on all candidates.
Head of the body is DR.. Francis
Townsend. Other members are his
young son, Robert, and L. W. JEFF
ferry, vice president of the move
ment.
Republican Chaff
All state delegations at the Re-
publican national committee meet
ing voted en- bloc during the ballot
ing for a convention city, except
South Carolina.
''Tieless Joe" Tolbert of Ninety
Six, S. c., most colorful figure at
the meeting, voted for Chicago while
his daughter, Julia Tolbert, a ma
tional committeewoman, cast her
ballot for Philadelphia.
Joe Pew, Pennsylvania oil mag
nate G. o. p. boss, was boasting
about the advantages the Republi-
can convention will bring to Phila-
delphia.
WED a thousand times rather
play host to the Republicans than the
Democrats" he said. Republican
convention delegates are better
heeled on the whole than the Demo-
Gratis and spend three times as much
money. Democratic delegates are
usually poor boys who have to watch
their pocketbooks."
Justice Stone Walks.
Supreme Court Justice Harlan F.
Stone is determined to get his walk
out every day. At reception in
a downtown hotel, a friend ques-
toned him about this.

its form into an answer which DR..
Gallup has interpreted to mean that
he favors an embargo-a very diff
ferent matter.
On that point, Japan is our third
or fourth biggest customer both in
imports and exports. The vitality
important item in our exports is
cotton.
We have recently sold increasing
amounts of scrap metal and petro-
leum products to Japan. Cotton is
indirectly and in small quantities
used in explosives. Scrap metal
is more important ingredient of
munitions, but it is also used for
other things and so also is petro-
leum, but only high octane gaso-
line is much. used in airplanes. To
cut off all these exports without
discrimination as to their use for
war would be an act of economic
lunacy.
To embroil ourselves unnecessary
ly in the Far East would be military
and naval as well as economic lu-
macy.
1t would weaken US in the Atlantic
and in the defense of the Americas,
require at least double the military
and naval force we need for the
Western hemisphere alone and
promises to US no substantial gain
whatever.
If the American people polled are
given the facts, or even a fair state
ment of the issue, it is a safe bet
that no rs per cent of them will vote
for an embargo against Japan.
ODDS AGAINST Firms
The only thing that can save the
Firms now, or could at any time
have saved them, is fully equipped
organized and trained expeditionary
force of at least two army corps
$4,000 to $4,000 men with proper
complement Of fighting planes-at
least 1000.
In the present temper of the
American people, we never would
have sent such force, and we
couldn't have done SO if we would.
We haven't got them. In our whole
army we haven't even two fully
manned and equipped divisions of
the necessary type-not half the pre-
MUM force necessary to save the
Firms.
As for Europe, it is clear now
that the aid Finland needs is never
going to be given to her by any ma
ton unless it feels that its own Sc
curity is Immediately and very dam
gerously threatened. Both the Al
lies and all the Scandinavian coun-
tries are so threatened in greater or
less degree. They apparently have
slipped Finland a little bootleg aid
through some blind-pig entrance
as we propose to debut, in the only
kind of help that will do the trick,
they have not acted and now it is
getting perilously close to being too
late to help.
