IL. S. WILL NOT APPROVE
OVERSEAS TRUST Plan
State Department Says Proposed Or
ganization Would Unjustly Be
Given Preferences.

Both TO Great Britain and Sweden the
United States government has conveyed
the information that il will not approve
the proposed American Overseas Trust.
unless plans for that organization are
materially changed. This action was
taken by the State Department in re-
Spouse to informal inquiries from both
countries as to whether this govern
ment would give unofficial sanction to
the scheme. The main objection OF the
United States lies in the fact that under
the plans for the trust this organisa ton
would be given preferential treatment
over other American shippers.
Another feature of the plan to which
objection was made called for the ere.
alton OF branch organizations in other
neutral countries. over the operations Of
which the British government, through
access to the books OF the concern.
would have a certain measure OF super
vision.
The Swedish Minister, who called yes
terday on Acting Secretary of State Polk
to learn the attitude OF the State Depart
ment. informed Mr. Polk that his govern
ment had likewise refused to approve
the plan.
It was stated at the department yes
terday that the organizers OF the pro-
posed trust. realizing that they could not
hope for the moral support OF the United
States government otherwise. have aban-
doned the preferential feature and are
negotiating with the British government
with view to getting exemption from
anything like British supervision. The
details of the new plan have not been
made known to the Department of State,
however. and pending the receipt of fur

The Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage has sent an urgent call to the
suffragists of the nation to rally to the
support of the Susan B. Anthony suf-
frage amendment
Miss Alice Paul. chairman of the execu-
tive committee OF the Congressional
Union, addressed yesterday the following
letter to suffragists:
In ten days the Sixty-fourth Congress
opens. We ask you to join with us in
the effort to secure the submission by
this Congress of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment, enfranchising women.
In the last Congress the suffrage
amendment received the immense vote
of ia in the House and failed by only
eleven of the two-thirds necessary to
carry 1t in the Senate. This was &C.
complished mainly by the women of the
District of Columbia. with little money
and little work outside II the women
of the whole country will join with the
District of Columbia, success will be
assured.
with nearly 100000 women voting in
the West. with one-foUrth of the Senate,
one-sixth OF the House. and one-fifth of
the electoral vote coming from suffrage

of the national amendment If we unite

we have but to consider the fail
ure of the referendum campaigns in
New Jersey. New York, Pennsylvania,
and Massachusetts to realize the wis
dom of concentrating our strength
upon the national government rather
than dissipating it in many State ref
eTendums
We appeal to all those who have
never before helped in the national
work to throw in their strength now.
You can help US at this moment:
First, by writing to President Will
son to urge him to recommend. in his
message to Congress. the submission
of the national suffrage amendment;
second. by making the suffrage dem
orstrations at the opening of Con-
gress as successful as possible; and
third. by sending financial help i'm
mediately. We need $4,000 before
Congress opens. Every woman can
give at least 81 to the national suf
1rage campaiep. We beg you to give
all that you can and to give at once"
Several thousand workers will
gather here December 6 to 13, inclu-
sive, to make a demonstration and
