BROWNHELM PASTOR
VOTED "NO" TO
BOK PEACE PLAN
The following Is a copy ot a letter
sent to the American Peace Award at
New York, in which he gives several
reasons why ha would vote no to the
Hok Peace Plan.
Vermilion, Ohio,
January 22, 1924.
The American Peace Award,
342 Madison Ave.,
Mew York City.
Friends:
Inclosed 'is my vote on the Bok
Pages Plan.   I vote "no" because—
1. Mr. Bok, tn my Judgment,' should
have provided for the submission of
more than one plan. He does the
American public an Injustice when he
nays in substance, "You can accept
my peace plan or choose war."
2. The plan selected takes the same
attitude as assumed In the principle
of submission. It says, "The only
possible path to co-operation In which
i lie United States can take an increasing share is that which leads
toward some form of agreement with
die world us now organised, called the
League of Nations." Those who vote
"no" on thafe plan,, therefore, will
generally be considered as tn favor of
isolation and war—but I vote "no"
because I believe there Is some other
better plan for world co-operation
than the League of Nations; e. g.
Senator Borah's Idea in substance.
3. The reservations cited in the proposed plan are motivated hy selfishness rather than true co-operation.
Thus the plan says accept the League
but refuse to ablda by the law of the
League, which is the Treaty of Versailles. Again the plan declares tor
the linked States taking a hand ln
European affairs, but says the United
States will boss Pan America herself.
This is no true give and take, this is
no* real co-operation. ,
Truly,
Harold H. Hester.

There will be absolutely no extension
