Convoy Use Would Split
u. S., DR.. Howard Saws

Consent for conveys under the
American flag means a divided
house at home and "house divid-
ed against itself cannot stand" DR..
Clinton NJ Howard, general superin-
tendent of the International Reform
Federation, said last night at the
First Baptist Church, Sixteenth and
o streets NV. Although the
American people believe in pre-
paredness and protection at home,
they would split on creation of an
army of invasion, he added.
AS guest speaker at the evening
services, DR.. Howard said the Amer
lean people believe in preparedness
for defense to prevent attack if pos
sible and meet it with success and
victory if war unbidden should come
to our shores" Militarism, he said,
is not protection, it is provocation;
1T is not insurance, it is insanity;
1t is not security. it is suicide; 1t is
not preparedness for peace, it is a
guarantee for war"
