NEW WHITE SLAVE PACT
Of LEAGUE IS READY
Convention of 1910 Greatly
Strengthened by New Agree
ment Among Nations.

Geneva, Sept. 29.-Recommenda-
ton that the assembly of the League
OF Nations appeal to ita members for
credits to Russia, viii not be made
by the Russian relief committee 1t
was announced here today. The mat
ter of obtaining funds for Russia and
the organization OF relief measures
will be left entirely to the conference
to be held In Brussels soon and to well
fare organizations. The reason given
for this decision by the committee was
that various governments had found
II impossible to open new credits at
this time.
When the assembly opened this
morning, Mile. Kristine Bonnevie. OF
Norway, took the floor and said she
had. received full power to sign the
new white slave trade convention which
was approved by the committee hav-
Ing that subject under consideration
During the debate relative to the
white slave convention, Mile. Fore
hammer. of Denmark, pointed out that
traffic I'm children was mentioned for
the first time in this agreement. She
said II modified and strengthened tn,
convention Of 1910 on the same sub.
ject.
The French delegations objections
which have been much commented
upon. were not made because OF OPP
position TO the object of the propose,
convention, Gabriel Hanotaux ex
planned. but to the precipitancy with
which 1t was sought to put the modi
fed convention into effect.
A. j. Balfour, of Great Britain de
Tended the Committees decision to ash
immediate signature. The Britisi
statement, he said, was based on a re
port from the white slave conference
held in June. This project raises tn
age Of consent TO twenty years, rein
forces the emigration regulations IL
this direction and provides greater ia
cilities for the extradition of persons
accused Of the white slave traffic.

TREATY FRIENDS SURE
IT WILL Be RATIFIED
Democratic Opponents Admit
They Cannot Defeat Il by
Any Possibility.

Washington, Sept 20. Democratic
senatorial leaders admitted tonight that
opposition to the ratification, of the
peace treaty with Germany would not
avail TO defeat it. One Democratic Sem
ator said that an opposition total OF
twenty, even including Borah and other
Republicans, would be an extreme esti-
mate.
Night sessions on the treaty began last
evening with Senator Kellogg, Republic
can, as the first speaker. Democfnts
objected to these sessions, holding that
there was no hurry in dealing with the
treaty. President Harding in q confer
ence today with Senator Lodge APP
proved the plan for night sessions He
said he was pleased with the progress
made and thought il necessary TO speed
ratification of the treaty
Despite the careful plans for the night
session, il took half nm hour TO obtain
a quorum. Even then, only thirty-sis
| Republican Senator's and fourteen Dem
ocrnts answered the roll.
The Democratic Senators have plan
ned n conference for late today but II IL
authoritatively said that il action Il
taken it viii be only TO pass rcsolu.
tion stating that no Democrat should be
bound 20 vote against the treaty, but
| instead should exercise bis own iudg'
nent. Several Of those opposed in The
treaty have objected TO holding the con
ference, AZ they think an attempt would
be made 10 make the treaty n party
matter.
| Democratic Senators who sympathiz'
with ox-presideni Wilson's dlsapprova
OF the treaty were criticising Senate
Underwood, the Democratic leader
Senator Hitchcock, the former leader
and Senator Pomerenc Of Ohio becaus
they expect 10 vote for the treaty. AS
sertions were made that some Demo
Gratis who announced their purpose som
time ago TO vote for the treaty wer
tnow sorry TREY had declared themselves
Il This group will do it's best TO fore
: recognition OF the details of the Ver
sailles Treaty. They plan to compel
definite statement Of the rights undo
the Versailles Treaty which the Unite
States reserves in the German treaty
They will also endcavor 10 have Ga
. treaty state what obligations are as
: mmed. Senator King will offer n resc
} luton stating that the United State
reserves the privilege OF invoking tn
] aid of the League OF Nations in insui
! ing its rights.
Dispatches from Germany saying tbs
: Nationalist and Specialists in the Reicl

: caused little apprehension among RI
{ publican leaders, who argued that viii

FEAR CAUSE OF HARD
TIMES, EDISON SAYS
Business Conditions Steadily
Improving and Will Soon be
Normal, He Declares.

New York, Sept. 2s.--"There IL no
doubt that economic conditions in our
country are somewhat upset, but they
are not so seriously disarrAnged that
We cannot remedy them by grit, de-
termination and hard work" Said
Thomas Alva Edison, in an interview
= day or two Nago..
MFR. Edison believes that our eco
nomic troubles have been largely
brought about by the general pessi-.
mistic view of the situation. He also
believes that good times" can be re-
stored by the return of optimism and
faith. II mixed with common sense
and hard work.
Then, he continued. with much en-
phasis. ~ say that the principal reason
for our hard times was because capital
and the people had been frightened
out of their wits. He ended by offer
ing his solution OF the problems that
We are facing.
1T is not panic. IT is nothing
ina to worry over, provided we set
ourselves resolutely to the task of
overcoming ii. These periods OF de-
precision come in recurring cycles.
They are nothing new. The point TO
be driven home is that the country
always RECEIVERS from them and goes
forward with greater strides than
ever before. We will get over this
one, too. The tide already has begun
TO turn. Times are getting better
now. slowly, of course, but surely.
These periods of depression are caused
by a faulty adjustment of our eco
nomic machine. or by IL being thrown
out OF gear by some unusual force,
such as war. The machine is all
right; Il will work properly as soon
as the obstruction is removed.
"The psychology OF fear is the prime
cause OF the present depression. The
people have been frightened out OF
good times, unnecessarily so, because
our country and its economic con-
ditions are fundamentally sound, and
being sound they will finally triumph
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again OF course we cannot expect
the flush times. the big wages and bis
profits that we enjoyed during tho
war. The immense orders for wal
material, which gave such an impetus
to both business and wages, ceased
with the coming of peace. They both
had to get back 10 normal, and dur
ing the period of readjustment SONS
economic disturbances naturall,
arose."
