PACIFIST SENDS PEACE PLEA TO NEUTRAL CHIEFS

‘Orgy Must Stop,” Cables Rosika Schwimmer to - Scandinavians.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19 (U. P)— Rosika Schwimmer, who once at-

trenches by Christmas” with a peace ship, today sent cablegrams from her hospital bed to three kings and

second world war. The gray-haired veteran pacifist asked the Kings of Norway, Sweden and Denmark and the President of Finland to demand that European belligerents cease. warfare immediately and without conditions in order that all countries might confer at’ a convention which would give consideration to the fair claims of all nations. “Only civilians can make a lasting peace,” she said. “The fighting militarists will only make a vicious truce which:will lead to. more wars.” Her appeal was her first attempt to end the present war. But it was a familiar plea—for she has been a pacifist for almost 50 years, since her childhood in Hungary. Best known of her world peace efforts was the Henry Ford Peace Ship of 1915. Took Part in Conference

Assisted by Mr. Ford she chartered the Oscar II and with a party of 150 including Secretary of State

Addams and sailed to Denmark for a peace conference of neutral nations. The Permanent Peace Board resulted from that conference at The Hague, but not peace. She has continued her peace efforts since, despite a stubborn illness which confines her to a hospital several months each year. Undaunted by reports that Europe again had taken up arms she worked at her improvised bedside desk. “This orgy of destruction must stop right now,” she said. “I mean everywhere—Engand, France, Japan, Ethiopa and Palestine. The people, not the general, must stop the wars at once.

Says 3 or 4 Paralyze Earth

“Our scientists make guns thaf shoot 30 miles and probably will make guns to shoot to the moon. Two billion people of the earth are paralyzed by three of four men. “Our diplomats and statesmen are frozen with fear. They declare they cannot cope with Hitler and Mussolini and a few others. Men who confess”such inability make me ill. I should like to call them names.” She said her appeal for the Scandinavian demand would demonstrate that the issues of the war are not exclusively the problem of the fighting nations but affect the entire world. len a world congress could be called, perhaps b e . United States, and every tr aii articipate and present its claims,” she explained. .
