Roudebush Charges U. S.
BEING "Misled" Into War

don learned for the first time of
the existence OF several hundred
thousand under-nourished, diseased,
scabby, lousy children.
Let us remember the defaults.
let us remember Uncle Shylock, let
us realize that the war now in pro-
gross will inevitably destroy de-
mocracy in both France and Eng
land and that our participation in
this war also will destroy democ-
racy here.
I'VE. too, will have a dictator
and there will be no occasion for
old age pension meetings-in fact,
such meetings would not be toler-
ated; everyone will have just what
the dictator allows and no more.
ut is time for the plain people
of America to rise up and tell the
raeketeers and the international
bankers that they. the plain people,
are going to determine American
foreign policy"

Rex s. Roudebush, Tacoma at
torney and Democratic candidate
for governor, stood today in favor
of national defense program
that will blow out of the water
any attacking force and which will
destroy any invader who might
land on the western hemisphere"
But" he added. II am not in
favor of involving this country in
other nations wars and quarrels
because none of them understands
our language or have any idea OF
our ideals except to exploit them
Roudebush expressed this senti-
ment in a talk Friday night before
the An-City Townsend club at a
meeting at 1914 Commerce st.
His speech, in part. follows:
Being Misled
The $3.50. 100000 in foreign
propaganda money has affected
some of our leaders in our nations
capital. The drive toward war is
being engineered by these forces
and racketeers who engineered the
last war. Some of our well-mean-
ing people are being misled.
Il am in favor of a program OF
defense that will blow out of the
water any attacking force and
which will destroy any invader
which might land on the western
hemisphere. But / am not in favor
of involving this country in other
nations wars and quarrels because
none Of them understands our
language or has any idea Of our
ideals except to exploit them.
Let us remember that in the
World war everything was de-
stroyed except the munitions plants
on both sides of the line. They
were preserved intact by British,
German. and French orders be-
cause the stock in these plants was
owned jointly by the wealthy
classes of these three countries.
Financed by Britain
Let us remember that Great
Britain loaned Hitler most of the
money which he used for his
powerful ornaments which are
now moving down English, Cana
dian and Australian soldiers.
Let US remember that during
the evacuation of London the great
lords and industrial leaders of Lon
