Cedar Rapids Woman's Club hears Bose on munitions industry
Dr. Sudhin Bose, University of Iowa political science professor, argues that munitions makers influence governments and profit from war. He cites interlocked postwar economies, the Basil Zahroff claim, and the need for total disarmament backed by ethics to advance peace. Local club members discuss Washington high school plans and library access while endorsing a telegram urging no new trade treaty with Japan until troops and opium leave China.
