"On Armistice Day, November 11, at the hour when the twenty-four men
representing the six participating nations first face each other across
the council table, a nation-wide demonstration will be under way in the
United States. Organized labor announces that in every town and city the
workers will join with other citizens in mass-meetings and parades and
that the keynote of Armistice Day should be, 'It is time to disarm.' It
will help in impressing upon our own government and upon other
governments that the people are weary of war-made tax burdens; that they
are deeply in earnest in their demands that these burdens be removed. It
will strengthen the purpose of the four men who are to represent America
to know that they have the support of the workers and the voters. The
action of organized labor will help in liberating and directing these
'moral forces'; but Labor cannot do it alone. There are others of these
'forces' that cannot be tapped or directed by Labor, and these must come
into action. The time is drawing nigh for their mobilization."
_Philadelphia Public Ledger._
"Without the crowding, persistent, fighting force of the masses the
crusade cannot be won. This is the people's salvation and it is,
therefore, the people's fight. It is now up to the people of this
country to make their wishes known and their opinions felt. It should be
constantly in mind that, without the mobilized moral force of those upon
whom these crushing burdens are now falling, there is little hope that
the load will ever be lifted. If it is not lifted, no one can prophesy
what lies beyond. There can be no relief from taxes, no relief from
expenditures and no relief from war, except through disarmament."
W. E. BORAH.
"One more war, fully prepared for, prepared for with all the diabolical
perversions of science, will reduce Europe and America to what Russia is
today."
_Churchman._
Certainly we believe in the closest limitation of armament. In this
matter we would go to the extreme limit. We are tired of militarism and
tired of war and the rumors of war. While we need and desire a merchant
marine, we have no use for fighting ships or submarines. Years ago we
began to dream that America would never engage in another war, but we
have witnessed the most horrid conflict that ever devastated the earth.
How can any one ever want war again? The nation that makes an aggressive
attack on another should be regarded as an outlaw and treated as such by
the rest of the world. Dissensions are sure to arise, but these can be
settled by conference and agreement or by arbitration.
