Scott Views
Coming Peace
WOODBURN The meeting of
the Rotary club was held Thurs
day night in the Legion rooms at
the l city halL Quincy Scott was
the guest speaker.
He i gave the turning points
which led America on the road to
war, and then back on the road
to peace, speaking also of his be
lief in the post-war world.
Scott said that when America
and Britain disarmed themselves
and let Japan and Germany vio
late the, rules, it was just like
taking the arms from a policeman
and giving them to a burglar.
These and other comparisons
brought the .realization to Rotari
ans and their guests that "war
breeds pacifism and pacifism
breeds war," as the speaker put it.
He said that a post-war leader
nation of some sort will be neces
sary but who it could be was hard
to name. His belief was that all
youths should be given a period
of military studies under military
discipline, instead of "raising them
upon the seat of their 'pants."
