Mrs. Catt Pleads
for World Peace
—
Feminist Leader Denounces
Foreign Policy of United
States.
A crusade of women to demand that
' the United States form and put across
an active program for world peace was
• called by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt.
feminist lender, before an audience of
600 Omaha club women and their hus
bands Tuesday night in the ball room
of the Fontenelle hotel.
In an address with her old-time fire
and energy, Mrs. Catt proved that her
eloquence has lost none of Its power,
her deep, rich voice none of Its spell,
and her ironic wit none of its edge
since she stumped the country for
equal rights. The ill health which has
hampered the suffrage leader In re
cent years did not appear in her man
ner last night. She swept her audi
ence along for two solid hours. She
set forth the forces urging toward war
and denounced what she considers the
failure »f America to oppose them
actively. ,
America Great Obstacle.
The public opinion of the world
looks upon America as the great
obstacle on the road to world
peace, charged Mrs. Catt. Other
nations have assigned to thlB
country the role of leudeis In the
:trend toward the inevitable next war.
■'Imperialistic ambitions" was the ex
planation she found in Europe, South
America and the orient for America's

adoption of of an extensive program
of submarine, airplane, and chemical
preparedness whlla refusing to share
In any permanent attempt to safe
guard peace. Never, ahe averred, had
she seen so much hostility to Amer
ica abroad as sha had found in the
last few weeks.
Americans, complained Mrs. Catt,
are "the grandest people in the world
at telling other folk what to do. and
the poorest hands In the world at do
ing It.” i
America Gives Proposals.
The only four proposals of schemes
for world peace which the modern
world has known have emanated from
America, but the country has adopt
ed none of them, she pursued. These
proposals she defined as the sugges
tion, of a United States of Europe,
made by Benjamin Franklin and re
cently revived by some Europeans;
the league of nations, although in
fact, she claimed, the idea of the
league started not in America, IniU
with Queen Elizabeth; the world court,
proposed, agitated and organized, but
never adopted by Americans, and tho
"outlawry of war," suggested by Sen
ator Borah, for which there is us yet
no machinery.
“I am for all these schemes," pro
claimed Mrs. Catt. “I Intend to work
for any common-sense project to re
strain war. I shall work the hardest
for the one which I think most peo
ple can be brought to adopt. Frankly,
I don't know which It is.”
Denounces Polities.
While she denounced the political
situation, “which has brought us to
such a pretty pass that we can t take
issue on an American-made idea with
out getting all balled up In politics,"
Mrs. Catt maintained that the princi
pal blame lay not with Washington
but with the people who have let
minor things take all their attention.
“The American people could bring
permanent peace in this generation if
they would put their minds to it," she
quoted. She urged the women, espec
lally, to “forget about clothes and
canaries" and organize to demand a
constructive peace program of their
'eaders.

Liquor.
United States Marshal Dennis
Cronin is ready to search and seize
for Nebraska prohibition agents. He
so Informed Hubert Suni'iicV k
Wednesday.
| Cronin made the statement after
Federal Judge Woodrough handed
I down his opinion yesterdf# that Sa
mardick and other agents werenot civil
officers and therefore it is Illegal for
them to search and seize with a war
rant.
"Hereafter, whenever possible,
agents will arrest the bootlegger after
I they make a buy." said Samarlck.
“A search may be made only In the
j room where the liquor wag purchased.
It will be Illegal to search other parts
! of the premises."
Neither United States District At

received word from Washington,

L. A. Writhes in
Municipal Pain
12-Hour Curfew on Dancing
Arouses Movie Folk W ho
Threaten to Leave.
Bt Associated rrcas.
l.oa Angeles, Dec. 8.—Los Angeles
writhed on a bed of municipal pain
today as opposing civic forces dashed
over the permissibility of post-mid
night dancing and a little game of
chance for charity.
While officers of the Western Mo
tion Picture Advertisers association
looked about for some place outside
of Los Angeles In which to hold their
annual hall, as a result of the police
commission'll refusal yesterday to
grant them a permit sanctioning
dancing after midnight, and while
seven patrons of the Jlnntstan Grot
to's charily circus awaited trial on
charges of participating In games of
chance designed to raise money for a
Masonic Christmas fund, various or
ganlzatlons denounced what they
called "unnecessary restrictions on the
rights of citizens" and threatened re
taliatory action against the city ad
ministration unless conditions
changed.
Resolutions adopted by the Screen
.Writers guild, branded the 12 o'clock
dancing ordinance under which the
motion picture directors ball was
halted by the police Thanksgiving
eve and the Western Motion Picture
Advertisers request for a 3 a. m. per
mit denied, as "the midnight curfew
law for adults," and heartily endorsed
a proposal to organize the city's mo
tion picture population Into a political
force capable of campaigning for a |
metropolitan government by metro-1
polltau minds."
Meanwhile members of the Los
Angelos Advertising elub who yester
day adopted a similar resolution were
discussing an address of Sol Lesser,
motion picture producer and theater
operator, who reminded them that
"the motion picture industry is not
necessarily rooted here.’’ and that
producers here “have even dlscusaed
plans for taking their entire plants
to New York.”
Clergymen and police vice squad
officers who conducted the raid on
the Jinnistan Grotto circus laat night
were hooted and Jeered as they led
their prisoners away after arresting
a number of participants In alleged
games of chance.

After Government Ownership
of Railroads—What?
If the Goyemment takes over the railroads, your
business and ours may be next. The arguments ad
vanced for Federal ownership of transportation lines
apply to banks, steel mills, coal mines and lumber
yards.
Principle of Private Ownership at Stake
If the railroads were taken over by the
Government:
1. It would impose upon the people an added debt
of at least twenty billions of dollars which with
the war debt could not be paid within a century.
2. It would result in loss of revenue to the Federal
and State Governments of about $300,000,000
annually—the taxes paid by the railroads in 1922.
The Government does not tax its own property,
nor permit the States to do so. Railroads under
Government ownership could not be taxed, as
they would be in the same class as post offices
or forts.
3. With the railroad, telegraph, express, and postal
departments in the hands of the Federal Govern
ment about one-fifth of the population would be
on Uncle Sam’s pay-roll. This would invite the
creation of a political machine interesting, but
appalling, to contemplate.
4. Government ownership of railroads has nowhere
been a success and has meant high rates and low
wages.
5. The late President Harding characterized the
movement to adopt Government ownership as a
“colossal blunder.” “I believe,” he said, “it would
destroy initiative, infect us with political corrup
tion, create regional jealousies, and impose in
calculable cost on the public treasury.”
