Non-Resister Tells Judge He Pays Nothing for War
Albert H. Zilmer, a Christadelphian lecturer in Waterloo, testifies before the judge advocate in a Service League court about refusing to buy liberty bonds or contribute to war efforts due to conscientious scruples against warfare. He says he has no scruples against giving to the Red Cross and explains his belief in nonresistance, with continued questioning about hypothetical peril to his family and Belgium’s horrors. The hearing resumes next Friday as his literature is reviewed for sedition.
