Defense Council Says Several Unive:
sity Professors Are Working
Against America.
Lincoln, Xeb., July 11. Charges
that Nebraska's participation in
the war is being seriously handi
capped by disloyal and treasonable
acts and utranecs and by actual
threats against patriotic citizens, are
made today by the Nebraska council
of defense in a statement signed by
twelve members of the council, in
cluding Acting Governor Howard.
"Several professors of the state
university" and "conspicuous repre
sentatives of the Lutheran church,"
are mentioned specifically as work
ing openly against America's cause.
Announcement that threats have
been made to withdraw deposits from
banks in case the banks in question
participated in the liberty loan cam
paign are mentioned prominently in
the statement.
The council's statement says the
vast majority of bankers and other
business men have defied threats
made against them and have sup
ported the government, but have lost
much business by their actions.
It also says that most of the state
university faculty, including "its ef
ficient chancellor," have been work
ing "zealously for America's welfare,
and so general has become their co
operation with the council that the
university has come to be practically
an adjunct of this organization."
Membership of the Lutheran church
is appealed to to stop the practice of
"conspicuous representatives" of the
church in seeking to handicap the
government, and to "put down every
attempt to handicap or embarrass or
discourage those who, grateful for the
blessings they enjoy as American
citizens, are trying to repay, at this
critical time, the great debt they
owe.
It further calls upon Lutherans
"to make known, on behalf of the Lu
theran church, devotion V America
the country that gives it protection
and religious liberty.''
"The council refuses," the state
ment says, "to temporize with serious
situations involving the welfare of the
country"
Some of the charges are: "Several
professors of the state university
have so persistently given encourage
ment publicly and privately, to those
who are out of harmony with the
American cause that the council
deems it necessary and proper to
publicly register pretest againstsuch
practices.
Refuse to Co-Operate.
"The conspicuous representatives
of that church (Lutheran) have gen
orally, and it may be said almost uni
versaily, refused to co-operate with
any of the several efforts made by
patriotic citizens for support of the
government. On the contrary, they
have generally, publicly and privately
discouraged the American cause, and
have shown marked partiality for the
cause of America's enemy.
' When the liberty bonds were on
sale, several bankers reported to the
state council that they had been
threatened wiih withdrawal of de
posits in the event they purchased
liberty bonds or participated in their
sale. Many bankers reported actual
threats. A much larger number re
ported statements that amounted to
implied threats.
