Referendum on War Hit by Sieverding Iowa Falls Observes 20th Anniversary of American Legion lOU'A FALLS--While the Ludlow amendment, calling for a referendum on war to the people ol America, has a seductive appea! when considered superficially, il is fraught with grave dangers and will be opposed with all vigor by the American Legion, State Com mandcr V. F.

Sieverding Grun dy Center declared in an addres here Wednesday night. The occasion was an observance the Legion's 20th birthday, the first caucus having been called in Paris on March 15, 1919. The local post of the American Legion was host to its auxiliary and to the Community club of Iowa Falls. Kaiser Acted After Election Commander Sieverding harked back to the days preceding America's entry into the World war. He recalled that an election was won on the slogan: "He kept us out of war." "When the returns were in on that election," Mi-.

Sieverding asserted, "the kaiser assumed that the United States would not fighl under any conditions. Submarine warfare was resumed without restraint and America was led into a war which otherwise it might have avoided." In the present congress, he pointed out, there are a number ol bills aimed at setting up machinery for a war referendum. Twelve members of congress have identified themselves with these measures as sponsors. Is Representative Government It would seem to me," said Mr Sieverding, "that this sponsorship is a confession on the part of these men that they are not qualified to represent their constituents, iney should resign and let their places be filled by representatives willing to assume their responsi bilities a representative democ racy. A war referendum-would represent true democracy, said the Grundy Center veteran.

But America has never pretended to be a pure democracy. This form of government was given a trial in ancient Greece centuries ago and it developed into a cruel tyranny. "In America," he added, "there has been an assumption that our representatives were in better position than their constituents to obtain information on vital matters and pass on them more intelligently." Cites Disunion Threat Mr. Sieverding pointed to the threat to national disunion, with the east oivthe south favoring war while the north and the west opposed, or vice versa. The commander denied that the egion is now or ever has been pposed fo freedom of speech.

It has insisted on only the restraints written into American law he said--restraints against inciting revolution, restraints against a freedom of speech for anybody which transgresses the rights of other citizens. "Nobody realizes more com- Ietely than do we," he said, "that he one best way to combat false doctrine is to give the people the ruth." Stresses Youth Activity In conclusion Mr. Sieverding sketched the program of service community and nation developed by the Legion in the two decades since the Paris caucus, plac- ng special emphasis on activities youth such as Boy Scoutin" unior baseball and the Hawkeye Boys State.
