Christian Scientists as a body are earnestly supporting the plan advocated by The Christian Science Monitor as a practical solution of the problem of how to prevent war. Many other representative men and women, in both official and private life and of various religious beliefs, have also commended it. A bill has already been introduced in Congress to provide, as the Monitor advocates, that "in the event of a declaration of war, the property, equally with the persons, lives, and liberties of all citizens shall be subject to conscription for the defense of the Nation." Judge Curtis D. Wilbur, formerly chief justice of the Supreme Court of California and now Secretary of the Navy, says of it: "The Monitor plan is by no means utopian. I have always favored the conscription of property without compensation, as well as of men, in case of a real cause for war." Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, says: "The more evident it is that the whole nation will be put in the storm and made to bear its share of the sacrifice, the less likely we are to go to war." Governors, United States senators and representatives, editors, ministers of every denomination, and individual citizens of every walk of life have added their enthusiastic commendation.
The Christian Science Monitor was founded by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, with the object "to injure no man, but to bless all mankind" (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 353). In proposing the peace plan the Monitor is giving expression to that purpose in a practical way.
