PONTIFF IS FOR
NATIONS LEAGUE
Pope FaVorS Court of Inter
national Appeals With
Real Power.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-Pope Ben
edict is an advocate of a league Of
nations so constructed as TO prevent
the possibility Of future wars, Mon
signor Sigourdy Fay declared here
tonight in an address before the
League for Political Education. out
lining the features Of a recent con-
versation he had with the pontiff,
Monsignor Fay recently returned
from Europe whittier he mad gone
as representative Of Cardinal Glib
bons on a mission with the Ameri-

The pope. Mgr. Fay said favors
the creation by the league of nations

decisions, and favors disarmament
Of nations 10 such an extent that
none would dare to start a war.
Speaking as a domestic prelate u
the pope and members Of his Off
cial family but not as he expressly
stated for the pontiff. Mgr. Fay
urged that the pope should have "a
voice in guaranteeing lasting peace. :"
This could be accomplished. he said.
not necessarily through the pontiff's
attendance, as a delegate at the
peace conference but by represen-
tation in any manner that the con-
ferees might decide.
The pope had planned early in the
war, the prelate said. to exert his
influence with Austria against the
return of Palestine to Turkish
domination in the event that the
outcome of the conflict left the
central powers in Austria at the
peace conference.
Asked by one Of the audience il
he opposed turning over Palestine
TO the Jews, the clergymen stated
that he did not, because every
promise made by the allies must be
kept"
His attitude in regard to Pales-
tine. he said. was that moral law
should prevail.

Maximum Scale May Be Hit by
Institute in Meeting With
Board Wednesday.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia moderate
reduction in the scale of maximum
prices for steel, beginning on Jan.

the American Iron and Steel insti-
tute, which meets with the war in

This was announced by Ebert II.
Gary, chairman of the committee, ar
a meeting here Of steel manufactur-
ers today. with the recommendation
that the question be referred 10 the
committee with power, which was
done.
Mr.. Gary opposed any effort 10 re-
duce wage scales at present. declar-
ing that while labor is receiving
higher compensation than ever be-
fore, the rates are no higher than
are proper and just, in view Of
the cost of living.
Perhaps the most satisfactory
way of reducing the present basis
Of prices that are abnormal" Mr..
Gary said, would be the making o.
simultaneous reductions in every
direction" but this, he declared.
would be impractical.
He urged. therefore. that the
steel industry as the barometer OF
trade" begin reductions in prices.
even at the cost of Nacrifices. Such
a course. he declared, would result
in price reductions by persons buy
ing steel. and so on down the line
until a stable business basis was
was reached
IF the workmen are treated fair
~ and literally" he said. they will
stand and contend for fair treat
ment Of the employer"
There is 10 ground for believing
as sometimes limited, that the work
ers OF the country are DESTROYS OF
controlling the methods Of produc-
ton or distribution. They know they
could not be successful in the ex-
pertinent" M Gary added.
Mr. Gary predicted that If bust
