iWeeks Declares
ItWouldBeFoUv
For U.S. to Disarm
Secretary of War Tells Gradu
ates Country Must Be Pre
pared to Defend Its
Sovereignty.
New York, .June 8. Declaring
that it would be the height of folly
for the United States to disarm first,
Secretary of War Weeks, in an ad
dress today to the graduating class
of New York university, said he
hoped to see this nation prepared to
defend its rights, its sovereignty and
its citizens until the day comes when
i' . t .1 : .
an liauuus ur mutual tuiis.cm uis-
mantle their fortifications and scrap
their navies. The university con
ferred upon Secretary Weeks the
honorary degree of doctor of laws,
. "I do not love war," the secretary
declared. "I abhor it. I do not
anticipate war, but there are active
and feverish military preparation
among those with whom we might
possibly come in contact. And I
want to say here and now that I
cannot Kive a moments serious con
sideration to the possibility of war
with Great Britain.
Such a conflict, he declared, would
in his opinion be the end of civili
zation. Mr. Weeks declared the time had
come when this country must have
a definite military policy. The na
tional defense act, which became a
law on June 4, 1920, is the policy
which he thought should govern the
army.
"In many cases, in some parts of
the world," he continued, "there are
developing large excesses of popula
tion requiring expansion of territory.
The future can only add to the re
quirements of nations for increased
territory and there can be no assur
ance, notwithstanding our own disin
terestedness and desire for peace,
that our wealth will not be craved
by others less fortunate.
"Time has not lessened the wis
dom of Washington's advice, 'In
time of peace, prepare for war.' It
is as essential in the preservation
of the republic in 1921 as it was io
1780."
Union Men.Will Fight
Reduction in Wages
(Continued From Face One.) j
joyment of unlimited latitude, they
are simply 'taking part' in a monu
mental game of opera bouffe for
the purpose of. duping the prospec
tive home owner or building."
The secretary's report showed that
the membership of the building
trades department had increased to
866,735, a gam of 62,815 for the year.
J. C. Bulger, secretary of the
Colorado State! Federation of Labor,
in addressing the convention, de
dared that unscrupulous employers,
in their efforts to destroy the trades
union movement, were directing
their fight on the building trades
the! basic unionized trade in the
United States. ,
"The fight that is on at this time
to reduce wages is not due to the
open shop, he said. They only
use that word because of its popu
larity." ; - ,
"Slight wage reductions are
necessary in some places," Mr. Bul
ger said, "but this is not true in all
communities."
In Serious Condition.
Declaring the building trades all
over 'the country are in a perilous
position,"- he urged the affiliated
local unions to co-operate with their
international officers in the readjust
ment of the situation. ,
In the convention of the metal
trade workers, President O'Connell
declared that it was unscientific and
impossible to base wage reductions
accurately on the cost of living and
urged that the metal trades organi
zations discontinue any effort of try
ing to base wages on the prevailing
cost of living and devote its energies
toward "deciding on what we be
lieve should be our wages and con
ditions of employment."
Asserting that labor must not sub
mit to the "open shop," or "Ameri
can plan,, the speaker said:
"We have proved our American
ism and our loyalty to our country
and its institutions. We have not
gouged the government, nor have
we in any way profiteered. Those
employeri who have shouted from
the house tops and the tree tops of
their Americanism, have frequently
shown up as profiteers of the most
rampant character and burglars of
public and private treasuries. Only
influence, money and lack of cour
age to duty on the part of public
penitentiaries.
"The so-called open j and Ameri
can plan means to me non-unionism,
lack of independence, loss of self
respect, receding manhood, serf
, dom." ' , -.

citement in the audience. Admiral I
Sims was cheered for his outstanding i
declarations against supporters of
the Irish fight for freedom.
"We find a certain class of people
on the other side who are technical
ly American citizens," Admiral Sims
said. "Some of them are naturalized
some of them are born there. But
they are not Americans at all be
cause they are carrying cn war
against you because they are trying
to interrupt relations between .our
two countries.
Blood on Their Hands.
1 "I have not hesitated to say to
these 'Americans' and Sinn Fein
sympathizers that the whole truth of
the business is that there is blood of
English and American boys on their
hands. They do not like that, of
course.
"These men are two-faced they
are American when they want money
and they are Sinn Feiners on the
platform. They are like zebras
they are either black horses with
white stripes or white horses with
black stripes, but we Americans
know they are not horses at all and
strongly suspect they are asses.
"But note this point, please. Each
one of these asses has a vote and
there are a lot of them."
Sims pointed out that America is
earnestly attempting to promote co
operation between the two English
speaking countries.
Now that the war is finished, if
we could only see the same co
operation between our peoples con
tinue, there would not be such
trouble as there is today. The cere
mony at St. Pauls cathedral the other
day, when the bust of George Wash
ington was unveiled, was extremely
significant." "
Fighting Against Enemies.
Admiral Sims declared that or
ganizations like the Sulgrave in
stitute are fighting against "your
enemies and ours which has in
volved some unpopularity with "cer
tain ot our hyphenated citizens on
the other side."
"In this connection," he con
tinued, "it has been said that I was
opposed ,to anything Irish. The
cause of that was certain articles
which I published in which the plain,
simple truth as to the actions of the
Sinn Fein faction in reference to our
troops in wartime was stated.
The Sinn Feiners did not have the
material equipment to attack us
directly, but they attacked us in
directly and very dangerously.
