The first lecture in the series PROPOSE “PAY AS PLAN TO STOP CLAMOR FOR WARS (Special co The Citizen) KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 19.—} Legislation that will automatical- ly draft all of the nation’s re- | sources in time of war, simultan- eously with man-power, is the chief recommendation in a series | of peace insurance proposals pre- sented to Congress by the Veter- ans of Foreign Wars of the Unit- ed States and designed to put! teeth in the campaign, currently’ [being waged by the Veterans to, ‘keep the United States out of! war. | “If the owners of industry mobilized for the purpose. In re-' could be told today their profits) sponse to a flag-waging, breast-{ | will cease the minute war is de- thumping oration, broadcast from |clared by the United States”, de- | clares Commander-in-Chief Scott | P. Squyres, “you can be sure they will do everything in their power to keep us out of war. If Uncle Sam will tell the farmers they! will make no profits on their wheat, nor their livestock, during the duration of the war, you can be confident every farmer will demand a vote against war by his Congressman. If Uncle Sam will | tell organized labor there will be no boom-time wages, and that la- bor must make equal sacrifices with the soldier, we will then have the added force of organized labor calling upon Congress to keep America at peace. When we have the courage, and the good i sense, in this country to de-prof- itize war, then the forces which clamor for war will be properly muzzled. In the midst of hyster- ieal patriotism there is nothing that will induce sober reflection more effectively than a reminder of the personal profit losses in- volved. “Legislation on our statute books, which will make each and every citizen assume his rightful share in the costs and burdens of conducting a war, will make us stop and think carefully before we let hysteria sweep us into an- other war”. The “pre-paid wars” plan sup- plements a campaign now being waged by the V. F. W. to secure 25,000,000 signatures to a petition calling upon Congress to adopt and apply policies designed to keep America out of war. Commander - in - Chief Squyres makes a careful distinction be- tween this campaign and various proposals of different Congress- men to require a referendum of the people, by Constitutional amendment, before the United States could declare war. “We, as overseas veterans, are not convinced this amendment would serve to keep America at peace”, the order states. “We know how easy it is to stampede public sentiment into a clamor for war. We are familiar with the insidious influence of propaganda, and how it cam be used by any powerful agency to convert a group of peace-loving people into an arm of bloodthirsty fighters. - - . Let us picture what would happen today if the powers-that- be in Washington should decide that the present petition cam- paign of the V. F. W. is a survey |@ of public sentiment at a time when people are in full possession of their thinking faculties. “On occasions in the past”, he said, “most members of Congress have voted for war because they were convinced the people want- ed war. Members of Congress have been taught to understand they are being sent to Washington as representatives of their constit- uents. . . . They are anxious to carry out the wishes of the voters back home”. The V. F. W. spokesman called upon the United States to steer clear of foreign entanglements and any alliance with world pow-’ ers that pretend to pray for peace but in reality represent a group organized exclusively for the mu- tual protection of their economic gains. The other war-preventive meas- ures being stressed by the V. F. W. are controlled sale of muni- tions and an adequate national defense. “We recognize no logic in a sys- tem which permits armament makers to manufacture bombs, shells and machine guns that may subsequently be used to destroy American troops”, Squyres ex> plained. “We do not believe the federal government should com- pete with private industry. But we are convinced the manufac- ture of armaments and munitions should be removed from the field of private industry because it is so closely identified with our na- tional defense. “We have no desire to compete in a race for armaments with oth- er countries, but America deserv- es all the military protection we can maintain without creating an unnecessary burden upon our people”, Squyres’ statement con- tinued. “We must possess the potential military strength that will command respect and recog- nition for our rights as a free and independent nation. We must be strong enough at all times to dis- courage the covetous ambitions of dictators whe dream of world con- quests”. “The Second Audubon Evening ing. ee —_ the is primarily for entertainment + * in | pounder brought iz yes- and to initiate Key Westers and | ene foun of interlocking emer terday by Ben Marshall own- winter visitors into the beauty | is beginning to come in by ship-| “ % te Deske Met.
