American Conference at Clark University
tonight on the subject. THE Develop

took issue with President Wilson's views
on diplomacy as expressed in the "Moolle
Declaration"

mond, Il beg to differ with the Presideh'
of the United States as TO the opinions
he EXPRESSED a few weeks ago In wnat
is known as the Mobile Declaration
when he states that interests 90 ho'
tie nations together-sometfmes separate
them-but sympathy and understanding
do bind them together
sympathy and understanding are al
mittedly essential to binding nations TO-
gather" he said "but do not apprehend
how sympathy and understanding can DC
developed without that intimate inter
course which best results from CONNER
cial relations
THE suggestion is certainly idealistic'
Sentimental ties that do not result from
community OF interests are far too tehu-
Gus to withstand the strain OF inherent
racial and religious antipathies. Commu-

which to maintain the worlds peace.

into the park with the sort of para

sketching. He picked out a place to
suit him, set up his workshop. and
fell to very earnestly. Presently he
was aware of something behind him
something with bright eyes. He
looked up. There stood a smartly
dressed young lady, aged five or there
abouts. She was frankly interested
In what he was doing and met his
gaze without embarrassment.

this spring will be much the same as
they have been, only very. very much
