Letter sent to Col. Wm. J. Bryan September 10th 1915.
An appeal that has the right ring and wording to it to bring out large cash contributions for an Agitation Fund for World's Peace should be made.
In this letter should also be stated what noble work World's Peace is for humanity and those who are wealthy usually have some time to spare and in doing work in such a good and worthy cause will bring honor to them, etc.
Several thousand of said letters should be sent out to wealthy people throughout the United States. Then someone who is a suitable man for a Bureau of Education should be appointed with a salary and to be run in a business way and manner.
What I mean with the Bureau of Education is to send out such speeches as you and others have made at the Peace Conference, write ups and arguments of good writers on the Peace question to all newspapers and magazines in the United States. Doing this once in a month will bring on the right results.
Will admit that at the present only two out of ten would be published; but even so it would pay.
Also leaflets should be gotten out for distribution.
All articles should not be too long as then, most of them will not be read, such as the Illinois Staats-Zeitung of Chicago are now printing in their paper in English, I consider the right and practical kind.
The future for your "World's Peace" can be made a success if
I. A food fund is raised.
II. A campaign of Education [is] suggested.
III. An organization in every state and possibly every city.
For such a noble and worthy cause as World's Peace, you and those who have full swing of the English language should be able to issue an appeal that is so strong and appealing that two thirds if not three fourths of the people in the United States will be with the "World's Peace Union."
