World Needs Strong
Peace, Patterson SAYS
BY the Assoeioted Press

INDIANTOWN GAP. Pa, Sept.
16.-Secretary of War Patterson
yesterday called for a peace organ
ization 80 effective that the out
break of war anywhere in the world
can be ruled out as practical
impossibility."
Speaking at this huge military
reservation during memorial serv-
ices for Pennsylvania 33,054 war
dead, Secretary Patterson said that
until there is such peace organ
ization I'VE can best avoid in
volvement in war by keeping our
defenses strong"
Disarmament on our part" he
said, will not keep us out of war
II the other great powers do not
likewise disarm.
THE last six years have shown
plainly that appeasement does not
bring peace, The experience of
those years should convince any
one that military weakness in the
world of today is the sure road to
war"

Edward Martin reviewed 1000

Veterans Get Glasses British Study Death
On Army Reservations OF u. 5. Ship Captain

An agreement between the War
Department and the Federal Works
Agency for colleges to use military
reservations for veterans education
was disclosed today by Senator
Mead, Democrat, of New York.
The Senator said he had been in
formed the War Department will
issue revocable permits to the Fed
eral Works Agency to remodel and
use buildings and land on military
reservations to expedite veterans
educational facilities. Similar plans,
he said. are being negotiated by the
Navy Department.
"In some instances" Senator
Mead said. "the new procedure will
enable institutions to establish tenn
porary branches on military res
eryations more quickly than they
could provide temporary classroom,
laboratory, office and nonhousing
facilities on their own campuses.
This is important, because time is
of the essence if veterans are to
take advantage of the educational
provisions of the CT Bill of Rights. -
He cited as an example the re-
cent decision of the Massachusetts
State College at Amherst to open
a branch at Fort Devens, so as to
accommodate the largest possible
number of student veterans this
year.
The new plan is similar to the
earlier one providing temporary
housing for veterans and their fam
lilies on military reservations located
near colleges, Senator Mead said.

Early German Unity
Seen Peril by WeIIes
BY the Associoied Press

Sumner Welles, former Undersec-
retary of State. said yesterday this
Nation, with Britain's support, is
making a feverish attempt to gain
the goodwill of the German people"
to offset Russia's increasing inf1u-
ence over the German masses"
Mr.. Welles drew this meaning
from Secretary of State Byrnes'
Stuttgart speech, he said in his reg
ular weekly radio address over the
Mutual Broadcasting System. Steps
proposed by Mr.. Byrnes, he declared
imply grave dangers" to world
peace and our national safety.
According to Mr.. Byrnes, our Gov

German peoples right to determine
their destinies within united Ger
many under centralized govern
ment, Mr.. WelleS said. The speaker
expressed fear that such action now
would give the new agents of the

to lead toward the militaristic poll
cies which started the war.
Hurried establishment of a politi-

indispensable foundation for any
real federal union of Germany

He declared the only way to create

states their pre-1870 independence.
Only after many years of expert
ence with local autonomy could a
safe united Germany be set up, he
