Believer in Peace Outlines New Motto at Montreal
Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead told the American Institute of Instruction that in time of peace one must prepare for peace. She argued independence is easier for the original colonies than for 45 states with 80 million people to achieve peace with justice from coast to coast, calling for more interdependence and special training at home and in schools to fit modern conditions. She urged the Hague Conference not to permit the next decade to repeat the last decade’s rising military spend without increasing security.
