To those who know their wars, it is the “Bloody Angle;” before it and behind it men died in heaps; on the third day of the bloodiest battle in American history, gallant George Pickett and his men broke from a little clump of trees a mile from the wall, and started across a wide meadow of gently wav- ing grass, in the face of the blazing ture? Are we to be content with sing- ing our peans of hero-worship to he- roes dead and gone, or shall it be a day of prevention against the slaugh- ter of heroes yet unborn? Shall we genuflect blindly to the Bloody Angle of seventy-six years ago, or shall we lead men up to stare wide-eyed at the awful threat of the bloody angle of modern war? The Church is aroused against the institution of war as it has seldom of ever been aroused before. Mars finds itself hard pressed. And rightly so. If otism which you swear by, but you have mighty little love for humanity in your heart. You are deliberately en- couraging these boys to die for a code that is as antiquated and barborous as the Code Duello; you are telling them the old lie about dying for God and Democracy when you know (that is, you should know) that they will die for Reckefeller oil in China or for | 1 | Morgan mortgages in Latin America. | You would take the precious stuff of human life and mash it like a rotten vegetable in a trench of war.

It was the ‘high tide of Gettysburg,’ the turning point of the Civil War. Fifty years later, to a day, they did it again. Old men in gray broke from the woods with their piercing Rebel yell, walked slowly, feebly, through the waving grass to the old stone wall. But—wonder of wonders—not one of them fell! There were no blazing mus- kets now, no double canister at ten yards. Instead, old men in blue reach- ed out with trembling hands to grasp the hands of their smiling brothers in gray.

Recently a high school teacher in a suburban town, addressing her class, asked if there were any in it who would refuse to fight if this country were to declare war. One youth an- nounced that he would not fight. The teacher rewarded his stand with a sca- thing denunciation, called him a dis- grace, an ingrate, a coward. A preach- er in that town heard of it, and the following week wrote the teacher an open letter in the columns of the daily press. It was his contribution to the peace crusade. Says preacher to tea- cher: How on earth did you get to be a teacher? And how on earth do you manage to hold down your job? Here you are talking of patriotism and your country’s honor, and you do not even seem to know that your country has promised, on its word of honor, never to settle its disputes with another na- tion except by pacific means. You do not grasp the fact that patriotism to- day is not what is was yesterday. Po- sitions are reversed now, in the light of the Kellogg pact. Now, the Ameri- can who wants war or offers to fight is traitor to his country’s word, and the man who refused to fight is the patriot. Would you see your nation’s worst peace time foe Go look in your mirror. I know just how you feel. I sat in school once, and heard words just like yours from my teacher. We took her seriously; too seriously. Some of her charges got up out of their seats and walked into the jaws of death, largely more creully than a butcher in a slau- ghter-house would slit the throat of a common hog. Let's stop lying to youth. Let's stop telling children that war is a duty of glory and honor, and tell them the truth about it. Let's tell them that no war ever got anybody anything but tears and heartbreak and chaos and despair. Let's even tell them that your pay-check as a teacher has been held up all too often lately because the i taxpayers of America are staggering | under a burden of taxation, inherited from the World War, which is as un-! necessary as it is inhuman. Let’s tell | | { them that ten million men died in| | Europe a few years ago in the war to | end war, and that they died in vain. Some of the rest of us love our | country just as much as you do; love | it so much that we do not want to see | it wiped out in another war. Some of | us love our fellowmen, be they Ger- | man or Greek or Irish or Austrian, more than we love the half witted pa- triotism of half witted people who stayed safely behind the lines while youth was bleeding to death at the front. And if we can possibly stop it, we will never, never, see it happen ag- ain. You can help us to do that if you will. Will you? Or will you go on sew- ing the seeds of your own country’s doom, sending yet another generation of youth out to die like so many blind, innocent babes in the wood trapped in a burning forest?

Reede, of Pennsylvania State Col- lege Department of Economics and So- ciology. He told the Institute of Social Rela- tions last Thursday that only strong Presidential pressure would vitalize the growing pressure in the ranks of the two labor organizations and make this adjustment possible. Clinton Golden, regional director of the CIO's Steel Workers Organizing Committee, told the Institute that $5.- 000 steel workers had been thrown out o fwork by modern machinery. He called upon organized labor to attack the problem of technological unem- ployment.
