SAYS PEOPLE FOR PEACE Speaking on the subject, "The Weight of War," J. E. Lawrence, editor of the Lincoln Star, ad dressed the World Forum, yester day at its weekly luncheon held in the Grand hotel. Mr. Lawrence discussed the worldwide depression and then he cited incidents of the present crisis In the United States. "Every poHt war depression in the United States has been followed by an other, usually more severe," he stated. "The Civil war was follow ed by the depression of 1873. The World war has been followed by the depression of 1921 and the de pression of 1929. These financial crises are the true weight of war." "Take for instance the condition of our Nebraska range section," he continued. "Most of these farmers were out of debt and some of them were considered rich men. Now they are penniless and very few out of debt." He gave examples of the stories that come into a newspaper edit ors office. According to Lawrence the real burden of a newspaper editor is not in the writing of copy. The thing that takes strength is answering the demands of the people. A man of forty-five years who had been out of work for a year, came to hii office. He claimed that his wife hardly made enough to support him. So Lawrence had to talk to this fellow and instill some new courage in him. A farmer in western Nebraska wrote the editor saying "we want to pay our debts, but you show us how!" Tells of Overproduction. Mr. Lawrence told of how the United States came to be in a posi tion of overproduction. "During the war the wheat acreage dou bled, the barley crop Increased 50 percent and the corn crop 40 percent- When the war ended and the farmers could not sell what they had grown, prices fell and farm ing districts, of which we are a part, went broke," he declared. "Until the administration adopts an international policy we will still "be in a precarious position," he said. "We cannot erect tariff bar riers and still expect our money in vested in foreign countries to be (Continued on Page 3.)
