Cured in her home Neighbors rushed

Discussions in
Ford Peace Party
RECITED BY MRS. INEZ MIL
HOLLAND BoIssEVAIN
WHY SHE WITHDREW
Affronted Because Work of FormuIat-
ing Plans Was Confined to a Few
Specially Selected Persons.

Stockholm. via London, Dec. 26, 4.2O
p. m.-MrS- IneZ Milholland Boissevain
of New York, who withdrew from the
Ford peace expedition Saturday. pre-
sented at a public meeting of the dele
gates today long statement of her
reasons for doing so and for believing
the project was doomed to failure.
Undemocratic Methods.
The undemocratic method employed
by the managers of the expedition is
repugnant to my principles" she said
Instead of all the members formulat-
ing plans, the work has been confined
to a 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 effective
shape by group action and constructive
thinking throughout the voyage.
Organization Was Abortive.
AN organization was not formed
until three days before the end of the
voyage. To that fact 1 trace all mis-
Understandings diSsensionS, mistakes
in policy. ineffiCiency and inability to
get the idea of a mediating peace con-
gress in comparative shape before the
public. The organization, when finally
formed, was abOrtive. The Scandi-
navian public, which expected clear
thinking and a definite programme
were skeptical about the serious
mlndedneSS OF the delegates. At the
meetings the discussions have been
purely private, with the result of ILL
| feeling, suspicious and condemnation
For the reasons stated, am unable to
continue with the party
No Meetings to Discuss Peace Plans
Castor Plaintiff. the personal repre-
| sentative of Mr. Ford, requested Mrs
| BOisseVain to remain with the eXpe-
! ditiOn, but without avail. Since the
! departure of the expedition from New
| ! Ork three weeks ago no meetings
| have been held at which peace plans
we're discussed. Most of the discus

Did Everything to Furnish Food for
Those in the Occupied District.

Berlin, Dec. 26 (via wireless to Say

20 and 26 published an article about
the misery caused 10y the German au..

by the Overseas News agency today.
I'm reality the German authorities did
every thing in order to restore economic
activity and furnish food to the occu-
pied district.
"Tha grain harvested there was used
entirely for the population. Since it
was impossible to bring raw material
for the reopening of factories the Ger
man authorities began road building in
order to give work to the population.
Now &c, 900 Poles are occupied in this
way. Besides, the authorities institut-
I'd employment offices for those willing

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER
GENERAL OF INAUGURATION
Difficulties Attending Deportation of
Undesirable Aliens.

Washington, Dec 6.-Unprecedent-
ed problems with which III federal
bureau Of immigration has had to deal
as the result of the war in Europe are
pictured in the annual report of Com
missioner General Anthony Caminetti,
made public by the secretary of la
Dor.
P~<icuIar attention is directed to
difficulties encountered in enforcing the
deportation of undesirable aliens be-
cause of the prospect, in many cases.
Of placing them in extreme hazard
either on the high seas OF after being
landed in a foreign port. Although in
the main the policy of protecting aliens
proved to be correct and was success
ful, the commissioner general says, one
OF its results has been to leave in the
United States at the close of the year
1928 foreigners with no right to be
here and destined ultimately to de-
pOrtatiOn
1t would be impossible" the report
| continues adequately to describe the
! problems which have confronted the
bureau as the result of the unique sit
| Uation produced by the existence of the
| European conflict. There has hard
" been a phase of the enforcement of
| the regulations which it has not been
! necessary to modify, suspend or re-
| model in it's applications. Such propo-
SitiOnS, as the control of land bOunda-
| ries particularly the Canadian border,
| Canada being involved in the war; !;
| the handling of alien seamen, especial
! ly those employed on vessels of bellig-
| erent nations interned in United States
ports, and the handling of aliens of an
| extremely undesirable type impelled to
| come to the United States from bellig-
erent countries because of the very
situation arising from the status OF
! their native land are but few of the
! larger problems with which the bu-
| to meet this situation has been no easy
| task"

With the Germans assembling a large
enemy against the forces in front of
Saloniki and large masses of Bulgarian
troops still remaining on Serbian soil,
the undetermined attitude of Greece
was uncertain as to what the next
move will be in the Balkan campaign.
Meanwhile the British and French
are adding to their strength around
Saloniki in men, guns and defenses.
Without the Bulgarians, a British cor
respondent at SalOniki says. the Ger
mans will not attack, and Greece has
been strongly opposed all along to
Bulgarian troops entering her terri
tory.
1t is also reported from Athens that
King Constantine does not desire to
make a change in his ministry until
the chamber reassembles the last OF
January, and that therefore the present
cabinet will remain in power and it is
possible that the new chamber may
be convoked before that date.
