The Stupidity ot War
The stupidity of war is strongly emphasized by Dr
Clarence Poe in an editorial in The Progressive Farm
er. along with -ome definite suggestions as to what a
private citizen may do to hrfp prevent the disaster
which constantly threatens us of another world war
Says L>r. Poe:
"Under present conditions, war is a game in which
there are no winners. AH are losers. Consider the
World War. waged at a blood cost of 8,000,000 lives
and perhaps 20.000.000 more victims maimed for life,
and a money cost of $400.000,000.000?enough to
give a $4,000 home to each and even family in the
United States. Canada. Australia. England, Ireland.
Scotland. 1 ranee. Belgium. Germany and Russia. Vet
no une single nation was helped by the World War.
Victorious England and France were impoverished al
most equally with vanquished German and Austria
and the whole world soon plunged into a catastrophe
of financial depre%eioo and calamity.
"War today is supid It is more costly in life and
monry ever before, while the spoils of war are
less valuable ever before.* Consider Spain. Amid
ts ruins, by the Umr the present struggle ends, there
will not be enough left for either side to gloat over.
And we must be willing to preach the stupidity of
war. no matter if we are called pacifists' or anything
else?remembering that it takes ten time more spunk
and heroism to face some bull) who calls himself a
'he-man advocate of war than it dues to be a docile
yes man to all such braggarts
"And if only every man and woman in .America
will get this spirit and act in time, future wars can be
prevented. "
"Rich and Don't Know It"
People are reminded less often nowadays than a
generation ago to count thrtr blessings ft is still
worth while to stop now and then and remember what
the real riches are. As Dr. J. W. Holland says, in
The Progressive Fanner:
"Have we gotten so blinded with electric lights that
we have forgotten ihr stars' Has the emphasis Amer
leans have lor three generations put on material suc
cess obscured lor us the better gold of the Golden
-Rule? ?
"I am tell you that regardless of your purse you
may be rich today. If you have moderate health, you
are a billionaire If you have a few friends, then envy
no lonely man his store of gold. If you are permitted
to work at chosen tasks, no artist should be more hap
py than you are. If you have 'the peace that passes
knowledge' so that no warthly storm? can upset your
lifeboat, no one can p.le currency high enough to equal
your riches.
"So many of us are rich and don't know it. And
so many others, alas! could be rich and don't realize
Bailey and the Budget
J
Late reports from Washington indicate that our
own Josiah William Bailry. that infallible United
States Senator who borrowed the President's popular
ity just long enough to ride to his present position, is
not so keen about balancing the budget after all. Mr.
Bailey has offered to balance the budget by effecting
stricter economy and cutting off the need)', but the
Congressional Record shows he is bucking Senator
LaFoUette's proposal to increase the income tax.
Balance the budget, Mr Bailey says, but don t go
to the wealth of this nation for help in doing it. Ap
parently he would rather have the underdog, and even
those who put him in the Senate to suffer that a budg
et might be balanced.
Mr. Bailey's record to date has been to tear down
everything that held promise for the masses, and up
to this very day he has done nothing more than criti
ciae the efforts of those who have been, and are still,
trytag to save this nation from a return to a reign by
misipnlil.es Be unto those who held that
was "just around the corner.'

Whrn I apes stampeded I
dent's veto of the hfl extending the i
on wlrrjas ohm sir it was but nuoag true to
form?bowing to the most persistent lobby of all pres
sure groups.
Now. it is claimed, the veterans' lobby is about the
business ni hatching a new measure that stfl take the
wind out of most our sails when it is presented. Here
is the way one writer describes it: "Not a bonus to
I end bonuses, not adjusted compensation, but a good
( old-fashioned tegular pay check for every man and
woman who wore the uniiorw at least 90 days and
' got an honorable discharge You've guessed h: an
honest to- lewdness pension foe World War veterans
The proposed measure hasn i been endorsed by the
American Legion or any otheT organization, and there
is no likelihood that it will be presented al this com
ii?g session of Congress But it is conwng. and the
pressure put on Congress to override the President's
veto of insurance conversion was but a form of tram
ing that is OldlAtd to imprests our statesmen with
the fact that they are under kash.
When we consider that we are still paying pensions
(or wars back of the Civil War. when we remember
that Civil War pensions have run to mure than eight
billion dollars, we will have some idea of what it will
mean when more than twice the number begin receiv
ing pension checks.
But this is not to say that pensions should be de
nied the World War veterans, not at ail. If other vet
erans deserved it, so do they-. And they'll get it, taw.
Thorough organizaUcm assures that. We are men
lioning it simply to point out that when we think we
have paid foe war, actually we have only begun .And
the Staggering total paid out in pensions in itself is
sufficient evidence of the fallacy and futility of war
It should help in delei mining to chart a coarse of
peace where peace is possible. m the years to cumr.
