Constantly Changing-Over 000 jSJew uits Qme in Last Week! 18 Yhb quality Stoup o ronriA'o AUDIENCE'S FAVOR DIVIDED Co fi & lire and Applause Greet lis cusfions as to lfrects of Trained Citizenship X'ederal Re- ioit Cited by Speaker. "Treasonable" was the term applird by Grneral T. M. Anderson and others to the expressions of sonic of the tpnaUers ap-a.in.Pt military training irf the hiprh schools, at the meeting of the t:ivic League at the Multnomah Hotel yest erday. The speeches which were so roundly cored by the Grand Army of the Re public veteran, however, were heartily applauded by the majority of the peo ple in the audience, must of whom were women, school teachers and prominent workers in various social movements In the city. Kucrenc Smith, of the Central Labor Co unci 1, who spoke on the negative t-ido of the debate, against cx-Senator W .Fulton, made the principal ad dress In opposition to military training In the high schools. Kederal Report la Reference. "When you go to war' he declared, "you are not fighting for yourself, but for the trreat monopolies of business and capital that have taken the greater part of tbe wealth of the country and which look to the laboring classes to protect them in their possession of it." He referred to the report of the Fed eral Commission on Industrial Rela tions in which it is shown that the bulk of the wealth of the United States "is owned by only a Fmall percentage of the people and that 65 per cent of the people own only 5 per cent of the wealth. "When they try to train men for an army to defend the country, it is the people in that 65 per cent that thf;y are training to go out and fight for that 5 per cent of the wealth which has been left them," he said. Roosevelt "Influences" Refuted. "Theodore Roosevelt referred to some influences which are trying to Chinafy the United States, but when it comes down to brass tacks, I would rather be Chinafied than Morganized. In China they take away not only your rights, but the mental alertness that would maks the people aware that they were despoiled; here they take away our rights -md leave us only the knowledge that we have lost them. "I don't like that song, 'I didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier any more than the militarists do, but neither do 1 like the sentiment of those who seek to go into the high schools and train our children in military affairs. "Wc do not want our boys taken, while they are in the formative period of their lives and trained into the militaristic idea. I do not believe that one should bo trained to be a soldier until he has reached man's estateand 1h in a position to know really what he is to fight for. "It the workers received back the rights of which they have been de prived so that they could know that a n a riny would be for the purpose of protecting their own rights and not the property of a few capitalists, there "wbuld be no trouble in training them into soldiers and getting them to serve in the army if there was real need." Defense of Move I Made. Kx-Senator Fulton, defending- the move for military training in the m-hools, urged the importance of train ing as a protection to the men of the country in case they were precipitated Into a war. "While we do not want war," he said, "it is our duty to our sons to prepare them so that in case war becomes a necessity the sacrifice that they must make shall be as little as possible and yet be effective. "It is our duty to supply military training to these boys because it will protect and guard them from destruc tion when the awful time may come that demands their service in the field. Th& country that can call out in time of war a trained citizenship can vin dicate itself at far less cost than a country that is obliged to call out an untrained citizenship.- "And how and where can we teach the rudiments of military affairs if not in our public schools?" .1. B. Gearity gave an address in op position to armed preparedness and to militarism in all its forms, declaring that the demand of the world is for a patriotism that reaches beyond national boundaries. C. M. Remey also spoke in the same vein. General Anderson and C. E. Cline made short remarks at the close of the meeting. "I scarcely dreamed that American citizens could have held the opinions T have heard expressed here today' said the former. "If George Washing ton and the men who founded this coun try had been of the same opinion there would be no United States today In which these people who are airing such opinions would be at liberty to speak their opinions freely as they do."
