In my childhood practically every grown man I knew was a veteran of the Civil War. Our "hired man" 'on "the farm..was only one of many who still wore their old Army overcoats in Winter. Ir^Kobody got anywhere in politics who was not a veteran. The first newspaper I can, remember reading, was full of news about the war between Russia and Turkey. The year I was born Germany and^ prance were, at war, and Germany won. Therewas a civil war in Spain when I was five years old. England was carrying on almost continual war gainst South African' tribesmen and various Atlantic countries when I was a boy. The war of England against Egypt and the conquest of the Sudan are vivid memories. France made war on China. China and Japan were at war in the early 'AO's. Tnpan defeated Russia in war in if) 04. The Boer War in which England conquered the Dutch colonists in South Africa, innumerable wars in South America and in the Balkan Peninsula, and our own constant .varfare against the Indians of the West all contributed to my belief .hat was is a natural way for humans tp act. WAR . pressure r**- ;> I J ?. Outside of our Indian battles my own country was not engaged in war until I was grown up and married. Look at our national record for the past forty years. We went the loot. We had a long and pretty ' ' r -* V *'* ;f '< v" ~rhTi !* ' serious war with the Filipinos, who objected to being sold down the river. We sent armed forces into several Latin-American countries to collect debts owing to Americans. When Mr. Taft was President we were so close to war with Mexico that we sent the largest army we had ever assembled since 1865 to the Mexican border, ready - for action. Early in 1914, beforO Europe went to war, we sent a military and j naval force into Mexico and cap-j tured the city of Vera Cruz. ' A dozen times .before we entered the World War our Navy and our; Government threatened war against various South American nations. Long before we got into the great conflict publia opinion was putting , almost "irresistible pressure upon our .Government to participate., President Wilson resisted until he could, resist no longer, and we en tered the greatest war in all history. IDEAS ..... repeated Wars are brought about by differences in ideas more than by any other single cause. The American ^ebple went into the World War ause we were afraid that the Gethap idea would dominate the world inless Germany- were defeated. .j The German idea was that the State is supreme and the individual the servant of Government. That liad been bred into generations of Germans. It was so totally opposed to American ideas of individual liberty that we revolted at the thought that Germany might become able to impose, that idea.on the rest of the world. V':' - . r . Many think of the Hitler govenvr tnent at today as something newt It is ancient history in Gerpiany, where the - military power has always been supreme. "We hear more about the treatment of civilians by the military j forces now than we used to, be-! cause we get more detailed news from Edrope. There has been no efaange in German ideas in a thou- | sand years. PEACE . . . . superioity I am convinced that there will never be peace amon^ nations so1 long as one race or group of paople1 regards itself as superior to all other peoples, and so considers it his the right to take whatever it want* that the inferior peoples have.

That date has been \ cntatively set for the forrtal opening' and dedication of the Great Smoky, fountains ? National Park; and it is expected that President I !>oosevelt and other high officials * vVill be present to take part in the 1> ceremonies. I For hi* . . ? term Persident Roosevelt is expected to pass through Sylva eilroute to the Great Smokies. His first trip was in September p, 1^36, when he came through Sylva from the Smokies, and / the roads and streets were crowded with thousands of people, who came out to see him, and give him the greatest ovation ever extended to any man in this region. The plans this year are for the President to come to AsheviHe for ' the Rhoddodendron Festival, and come through Sylva to Newfound Gap, where the formal ceremonies of opening and dedicating-the park, will be held. It is anticipated thAt about a thousand State and Federal officials and distinguished guests, together with some 15,000 other people will Assemble at the Gap. That is as many as can be crowded into the avauaDie parking space. However, ihe entire ^ceremonies WiH be broadcast by amplifiers to points in and near the park, and other thousands of people are expected to assemble in the towns of North Carolina and Tennessee near the park.
