Opposed to License Bill.
There was considerable discussion
in regard to a bill introduced by con
gresham BOrland. Of Missouri, pro-
viding for the licensing of all war
charities and Of all charities which
use the United States mails for the
solicitation Of funds in two or more
states The bill provides that the law
is to be administered by the United
states commissioner Of education
L. s Stewart said that some such
regulation is needed DR.. W. L.
Brown thought that If the bill was
properly planned it would materially
help the Red Cross society, but he did
not think an educational bureau
could wisely pass on the efficiency
and needfulness Of charities. even
war ones. Mr. krakauer said the bill
was not worded so as TO prohibit the
activities of the most inefficient
charities. which do not use the mails
much The directors decided to so on
record as opposed TO the bill in its
