Herbert Hoover Ex-President of the United States There are two directions from which our peace rnay be endangered. The tirst is our direct relations with other nations. These we can control ourselves, at least in part. The second is our indirect relations to other people's wars. We do not want war with anybody. We have no purpose in war . . . We want to solve a thousand internal problems: we want to build a thousand editices to progress. To do this we need peace. We want peace. Burne, Glenn S. Campbell, Phillip R.

Cordell Hull Secretary of State of the United States War comes as the great failure of man, out of fear, lust for power, injustice or misery left unrectified. The forces demanding peace, willing to accept the principles and policies which malce it possible, have grown steadily and tremendously during recent decades. This is one of the testing periods for those forces. Now must every govern- ment, school, church, and family, in every country at peace, join in support of the determination to promote and to remain at peace, and above all else to malce this de- termination effective by applying the prin- ciples of conduct by which peace may be maintained.

Lucllow Congressman from lncliana While no one realizes more lceenly than l do the danger ot our involvement in toreign war, I clo not subscribe tor one rninute to the cleteatist theory that it another world war brealcs out America cannot escape it. l believe that is a wholly erroneous theory. America will not enter a toreign war it tlie people have a chance to vote on the propo- sition. It the co-unsel ot calmness ancl reason prevails and the people are allowed to settle the question in the privacy ot the ballot booths, we will keep out ot war.
