Famine Camps Proposed
For Starring Russian,


LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Russian
famine was discussed in the House of
Lords to-day. Several members advo-
Gated the system employed in India in
coping with similar sitations-name-
ly, the establishment Of large famine
camps on the great lines of migration,
til the return Of normal conditions
permitted their restoration to the ma
tive villages, where means could he
adopted in the mean time to preserve
the framework of village life. Provi-

Fight for League
Compared to That
Against Slavery
Hamilton Holt Says Friends
Must Organize TO Seize
Congress and Presidency
Unless Harding Acts Soon

LAKE JUNALUSKA. N. c., Aug. IL
Calling upon all true friends Of the
League of Nations to give President
Harding every opportunity to perfect
the suggested association of nations,
Hamilton Holt, of New York, one of the
colleague Republicans, speaking here
tonight at the Laymens Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church South,
declared that the President soon must
choose between the pro-leaguers in his
Cabinet whom ne made and the bitter
enders IN the Senate who made him.
Let our political leaders make no
issue will not be settled until it is set
tied right. Every friend of interna-
tional peace and progress therefore
must Withhold final judgment until Mr..
Harding sees fit to disclose the detailed
plans of his association. But this is
clear: If he wants the permanent sup
port of most of the American people
MS association must be more than a
mere group of nations agreeing to be
good and peaceable and all revolving
about court
at is inconceivable that Mr.. Harding
could get the world or the Senate at the
present moment to consent to establish
a better court with wider jurisdiction
tnan the admirable one just created
largely by the genius of Elihu Root and
already adopted as the chief tribunal by
the present League OF Nations
THE present league, with it's forty
nine members and its truly admirable
record Of things accomplished in the
one short year of its existence, is well
worth preserving. Indeed, it is better
to have the present league continue as
it is without the United States during
the term Of the present Administration
than to emasculate the league in order
to get the United States to enter it.
But we cannot wait much longer
The world is on the verge of revolution
famine and pestilence. The decision
must be made reasonably soon. If not,
all friends of the league must organize
to capture Congress in 1922 and the
Presidency in 1924 They must tread
the path of the opponents of slavery
who continued fighting even though
election after election went against
them"

Governor Strong expressed no direct
opinion on the proposed cancellation,
but declared the economic structure of

essarlly were influenced by German

complicated the difficulties of American
