 "The bankers of England France and Czecho-S -Slovakia put up the money to finance Hitler. Then those same bankers went to England and France and said those nations had to rearm because Hitler was doing so. The result was inevitable"
 "Hitler's three hates upon which he could pin whatever troubles as- sailed the German nation were for- eign intervention, Communism and the Jews. Tn the beginning the peo- pie of Germany were with Hitler, so far as building up the German nation, but they were not with him on the issue of war. Therefore he started his propaganda machine much the same as we are doing in this country today.
 "The propaganda coming from our pulpits, our radio, our theaters and other forms of public express sion is just as vicious in every re- spect as those which Hitler used on his people"
 Said Professor Jacob, "Hitler stepped up his propaganda machine to such an extent that the German people were afraid to go to bed at night lest English and French planes would come over and drop bombs on them. Long before the actual outbreak of the war the common thought among the Ger man people was where is my gas mask" and where is my gun" and How quickly can get to my cellar If there is an air raid
 Tt was by working on this fear that Hitler was able to get the Ger mans into another war. We have not reached that stage yet, but il the propagandists have their way we will get to that stage. We must make up our minds to stay out oi this war. We must not let ourselve: in for the same kind of fiasco that followed the last war"
 Edward J. Ryan of Thomastor brought the crowd rising to their feet amid wild applause when he said:
 Where were our military alta. ches, and our staff of diplomats during the seven years that Hitler was arming. Where were the French and the English? It took an upright young American to tell the French and the English they had better arm because Hitler was go- ing to make war against them. For that advice he was laughted at and scorned. That outstanding American was Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.
 Mrs. Francis E. Phillips, the mother of two boys of military age, writer, lecturer and economist won round after round of applause for her touching resume of the last war and warned that the road we fol- lowed then is exactly the same road we are following now. T wish some of those who are shouting for war could have seen the sights l saw when I was in France during the last war. I wish they could see the broken, twisted bodies of boys who only few months before had been the flower of our nation. I wish they could have seen the manner in which some of those bodies ap- plauded in order to show their joy and appreciation for something which struck a joyous string in their minds. saw bodies placed in baskets, because they had no legs, no arms and in order to applaud they were forced to strike their heads against the walls. saw thou sands of pine boxes come back to America with signs on them which read, Corpse, no value"
 "Tell me about the horrors of war. Let some of those who seek to plunge us into a war go over and fight for the cause they believe so noble"
 The highlight of Mir. RyanI speech was that 'This is not ouI war. One month we are told Fin- land is our friend, the next we are told she is our enemy. One month we are told We must give all aid to Finland against her war with Rus sia, the next we are told we must give all possible aid to our new de- mocratic friend, Russia. Russia is not our friend. Finland and France our enemies. Do you think Russia Is democratic7" Shouts of No" greeted this question.
