Masons Counseled
To Seek Peace Only
As Individuals
Division of Opinion
Is Warned Against
By Lounsbury
Masons were counseled yesterday
against affiliating their organiza
tion with others in a program for
promoting peace, except as indi
viduals, lest “Freemasonry destroys
itself.”
Speaking before the final session
at the two-day conference of Grand
Masters of Masons, an advisory body
for the estimated 2,500,000 Masons
in the United States, George F.
Lounsbury, Grand Master of Wis
consin, declared:
“I am of the firm opinion that
the minute Freemasonry steps out
of its lodge rooms to unite with
other organizations for any pur
pose. however laudable that purpose
may be—that moment Freemasonry
destroys itself, loses its distinctive
Character that is the bulwark of its
strength and becomes just another
Organization.
“There are those who honestly
• * * believe that peace can come
Only through the sword: that it is,
necessary to remove by force the
conditions which have brought about
the present war and that it is the
duty of this country to take sides
and lend armed aid to the conflict.
There are others who * * • believe
that w'e can and should keep out
Of W'ar, that in keeping at peace
With the world we can exercise the
Strongest influence for termination
of the war and be a more powerful
factor in the adjustments that must
come when and if the fighting
ceases.”
Division of Opinion.
The division of opinion, he told
the 150 delegates from 45 States,
the District of Columbia and Can
Sda. "if permitted to enter our Ma
onic lives might bring results which
We should all deplore and which
would weaken if not destroy our
foundations.”
Free Masonry, he declared, “is op
posed to dictatorships, intolerance of
race or creed, the oppression of mi
• norities, the armed and unprovoked
aggression of strong nations upon
weak ones, to the increase of power
of any nation which does not fol
low the principles of democracy.
"As human beings with human
Sympathies, Free Masons are a unit
in condemning those things that
have been and are going on m un
happy Europe.
Opposed to Selfish Policies.
“In our own land Free Masonry
Is opposed to selfish and demagogic
politics, to the placing of sordid
ambition above the best interests of
our Nation and its people, to dis
honesty and double dealing in public
as well as in private affairs, to the
discord and class hatred being assid
uously promoted.”
J. Chris Nungesser, grand master
of Louisiana, urged that the Masons
take an official position on the
Order of De Molay, composed of
youths 15 to 21 years old, which is
how sponsored by individual Masons
and various lodges. He estimated at
. least 1,000,000 young men have
been members of De Molay during
Its 21 years of existence and have
•promised to be better sons, to slan
der no persons, to honor and protect
every woman, to support the public
schools, to fulfill every obligation
even though inconvenient, to walk
uprightly before God and man and
to be tolerant in their opinion of i
others.”
Washington was selected for the
conference's next meeting, February
20 and 21, 1941.
