S. The appeal to Congress reads as follows: "We, the undersigned citizens of the United States of America, call upon the Congress and the President to adopt and apply policies designed to keep America out of war and supported by a national defense program adequate for the protection of our country and its people." The plan to convey to Congress tangible evidence of the prevailing sentiment against war is the chief objective of a nationwide campaign being conducted by 3600 local units of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, according to Commander Robert Nelson, of Eau Claire. "Under our form of government, the question of peace or war rests in the hands of Commander Nelson said.

"We, the people, expect members of Congress to vote in accordance with the will of their constituents. Petitions bearing the signatures of 25 million American citizens will tell Congress, in unmistakable terms, that the vast majority of the citizens of the United States want America to keep out of war." A quantity of petition blanks were received Monday by Commander Nelson from national headquarters at Kansas Cty, Missouri. These petition blanks will be circulated by members of Post No. 305 and distributed to various other local civic, patriotic, religious and fraternal groups. Gold Star Mothers in this community will be given the first opportunity to affix their signatures to the petition, according to Commander Nelson.
