Let Us Keep America At Peace
By MARVIN JONES
The cash nnd carry plan
now under consideration by the
Congress is much less likely to
involve America in war than if
wc continue under tho present
actUnder
Under the present law only
actual implements of war are
subject to the embargo We can
chip steel oil brass cotton
nitrates and many other materials
that go Into the making of
implements of war and our own
ships can carry these materials
Practically all of these materials
have been declared contraband
of war by both England
and Germany and as such are
subject to sinking by either side
And yet with the law the way
it stands at present our ships
can transport these materials
and thus be targets for torpedoesOnly recently three vessels of
neutral nations two from Sweden
and one from Finland carrying
wood pulp and cellulose
were gunk American ships un
der the existing act are subject
to the same attack
The cash and carry plan
now under consideration provides
that none of the materials
listed by any rnrJng country
as contraband can bo carried
in AmoHron rhps to tho belligerents
on cither side The title
of ownership mu3t bo transferred
In this country and the
articles must be carried In the
ships owned by the belligerents
themselves This will remove

lie taught to everybody vividly and dramatically Approach it
with on open mind Remember what appears in print and what
is heard and seen For firo prevention is of the most direct im
poratneo to each individualNo ono knows where firo will striko
next your homo has as much chance to be the scono of ruin as
