ing's Association Of Ma

The startling fact that in infor-
NAL conferences of leading Repub-
lican Senator'S it has been practical
ly conceded there is no real prospect
that the Harding Administration
will be able to formulate a new asso-
citation of nations came to light to-
day.
NO DEFINITE PLAN.
Although Senator Harding and
vasious party leaders in the course of
the campaign took the position the
League OF Nations was scrapped and
that a new association Of nations for
peace ought to be formed and would
be formed. the real fact is that no
one has yet arisen to describe how
il can be formed.
Leading Republican Senators in an
informal way have talked the mat
ter over, up one side and down the
other, and not one has been able to
tell how such an association can be
brought about.
Moreover. it is doubtful IL Senator
Harding has any definite plan in mind
TO bring IL about.

stand now. therefore. In that there

Wilson wants IL or the League coven-

the new administration could not

GUEsSWORk THIS YEAR.

'VESS -" OhN IhlS EAN.
The deflation period in which the
country now finds itself means more
unemployment than there was last
year. 1t Is not possible to have de-
flation and unemployment without
the prospect of a cheerless Christmas
facing many families. And there is
where the Good Fellow comes in.
He is not concerned with the laws of
economics. All the Good Fellow is
interested in is whether every child
has toys. candy. fruits, nuts. or some
thing else TO put Christmas in their
bones. If they have not, then the
Good Fellows Christmas is spoiled.
He is so constituted that he cannot
enjoy his Christmas dinner of turkey
and trimmings if he is tortured by
the thought that in the same city in
which this feast is spread for him
there live families suffering for even
the bare necessities of life. To insure
himself enjoyment of his Christmas
dinner and the Yuletide season in
general, the Good Fellow takes a
family or two under his wing, sees
that they are provided with Christ
mas comfort and cheer and by the
time the dinner bell rings his appe
tite has been whetted to a razor's
edge on the milestone of happiness
and duty faithfully performed.
10 MONEY COLLECTED.
The Washing ton Times Is glad to be
able TO offer the opportunity for
everybody to be Good Fellow. There
are no strings tied to this plan. II is
non -sectarian. no money is collected.
there is no scientific distribution"
and the only check on the giving is
the givers' hearts. If you intend
being a Good Fellow and do not know
exactly how much to do for those
less fortunate than yourself, leave
1T to your heart and you cannot go
wrong
The Good Fellow creed is simple.
Here it is:
Neither you nor ] get anything
out of this except the feeling that
we've saved some soul from sOr-
row on Christmas morning.

SUCCESS IS ASSURED.

The response to the call for Good Fellows has been more
spontaneous and larger scale this year than twelve
months ago and there indication that the movement
will be greater this year than it last Christmas
This is source of qualification because there is every
reason for believing the number of needy families will be
larger than last year. and this OF course means that
more Good Fellows will be needed to carry Christmas
fort and cheer the top.
