Saturdays Symposium

flict are older people, while the
youth OF the country is over
whelmIngly isolationist.
Having graduated from school
during the last ten years myself ]
find myself in sympathy to a large
degree with the isolationists' view
point.
believe this Is due chiefly TO
our schooling.
The older people were taught
an entirely different philosophy Of
war and its results than we
younger individuals. and there Il
perhaps some Justification for their
thoughts from this standpoint.
They were apparently led to be-
Ilieve that In some instances war
was right, and were given 10 be-
lieye that out of every war comes
some good and that power and
money, which 20 hand I'm hand, are
the only things worth having.
On the other hand, we younger
Americans were taught that the
last war was joke.
That all we got out of II was
debt, death. starvation and torture.
Our textbooks were chosen care
fully TO point out this point. Our
various veterans organizations
told us that war was insane and
gave us sound reasons for their
statements.
Therefore, Is II little wonder
that the youth of America are bit
terly opposed TO going overseas
again?
On one point we are all agreed.
and that Is protecting our country
against any and all invaders or
would be invaders. but To say that
our first line of defense rests some
place besides on our own hemi-
sphere isn't logical.
Propagandists have tried their
best to interest young Americans
in war and Its fine points but to
no avail.
Our education consisted OF a
Thorough study of propaganda dur
ing the last war.
So until these propaganda eX-
perts can eXpound a new theory on
this subject they might spend some
OF their valuable time reviewing
the textbooks Of the past fifteen
years.
NV sincere wishes for your con-
tinued good health and my thanks
for your sincere efforts to keep us
out Of war.
Sincerely yours,
WILLIAM ". STENWICK,

SAM FRANCISCO, Oct. 1S.-
Foi%fNss first time since the first
World War, all vessels embarking
from San Francisco, Los Angeles
and other Pacific coast harbors
were under strict navy depart
ment supervision today and were
obliged TO secure navy approval
before clearing the port.
The far-reaching order from
Washington was received by GUS
toms officials after a day of per-
sistent but unconfirmed reports
that the navy had ordered ships
of the American merchant marine
in mid-Pacific TO head for either
Manila or Honolulu.
In Washington il was stated
that American merchantmen in
the Pacific had been ordered 10

ports as a precautionary meas

100 SHIPS AFFECTED

Many leaders Of the shipping
industry were here 10 attend the
of the American merchant
marine conference in San Fran
cisco Monday.
About 100 passenger and freight
vessels, and an undetermined num-
Der of tankers plying the Pacific,
were affected by the order for
of outgoing and in
coming shipping
Some shipping men considered
it the preliminary step 10 the
establishment of precautionary
convoy by deStroyers and cruis-
ers, now engaged in patrol duty
across the Pacific.
Other shippers recalled that

of 1918 entailed rigid inspection
