Stockholm, Dec. 27.--Mrs. Incz Mil
holland Boissenvain, OF New York, has
withdrawn from the Ford peace ex-
pedition. At public meeting or the
delegates Sunday she made a long
statement OF her reasons for doing so
and for believing the project was
doomed to failure.
THE undemocratic method employed
by the managers Of the expedition is
repugnant to my principles" she said.
Instead OF all the members formulate
ing plans, the work has been confined
to few specially selected persons.
when the party embarked on the
Oscar II. took It for granted that the
rather vague opinion OF the body OF
delegates would be hammered INTO ef-
fective shape by group action and con-
structive thinking thruout the voyage.
IAN organization was not formed
until three days before the end OF the
voyage. To that face trace all mis-
understandings, dissensions, mistakes
in policy. inefficiency and inability to
get the idea Of nediating peace con-
gress In comprehensive shape before
the public.
THE organization. when finally
formed, was abortive. The Scandina-
Wan public, which expected clear
thinking and definite program. were
skeptical about the serious minded :
ness Of the delegates.
"At the meetings the discussions
have been purely private, with the re-
suit of Ill feeling, suspicion and con-
demnation. For the reasons stated I
am unable to continue with the party"

resentative Of Mr.. Ford, requested Mrs.
Boissevain to remain with the ex-
pedition, without avail
