Trotzky's Threat of War Fails
To Impress Polish Enyovs

WASHINGTON, April 2z. = Leon
Trotzky's threat of a possible war of
revenge against Poland, reported to
have been made by the Bolshevik leader
in an address to students at the Mos
cow military academy, is not taken ser-
ously by Polish representatives in
Washington.
At the Polish Legation it was said
that official information from Warsaw
indicated that a Boshcvik offensive
was unlikely. John F. Smulski, presi-
dent of the National Polish Committee
of America, scoffed at Trotzky's threat.

thorough acquaintance with the prob

Il believe that If the plans for beauti-

out are followed 1t will be the most
beautiful city in the world" said Mr..
Weeks. There is no reason why the
capital Of this country should not be
the finest Of all.
'This Is a great big country. wealthy
almost beyond measure, and I believe
that we can afford to be just little bit
extravagant in maintaining our ma

Masonic and Travellers Clubs of

In the presence of Howard L Hodg-

the faculty and other distinguished
guests the 166th Masonic birthday Of
George Washington was fittingly OBJ
served by more than one hundred

Dean Merton L. Ferson presided as
toastmaster, and gave a brief resume
of the Masonic activities of the first
stressed the great dynamic and
leavening force of Washington, his
earnestness in Masonry, and said that
the zeal with which he promoted
liberal education especially in hi:
later years, was proof of his belief
in the ideals Of the fraternal order
with which he had affiliated.
Both Dean Ferson and President
Hodgkins spoke of the desire of
President Washington to have estab-
lished a great national university
here, and said that records showed
where Congress had been urged tc
appropriate funds to that~end, it be-
project at the time had gone so far
as to select a site for same-the
ground now occupied by the Naval
Hospital. -
Dean Ferson said further that a
clause in George Washington's viii
stipulated that certain shares of
stock be set aside to aid in the erec.
ton of a non-sectarian national uni
versity in the District Of Columbia.

were." .
The educator outlined the history
the changing of the name to that Of
George Washington University In
1904, and also its control from those
connected with~the Baptist faith to

graduated the Masonic clubs of the

who had the interests Of the univer-

imposing upon the world their whim
as law The time has come to meet
this fable with the facts. The treaty
was studied. prepared and discussed
for six long months by hfty-elSht
technical commissions. on which sat
the foremost specialists OF each coun-
try. which held 1.6if meetings. The
conclusions OF the commissions. veri-
fled by twenty-siX local investiga
tons, were discussed from January
10 to June 2S by three bodies: The
council of ministers of foreign af-
fairs, which held thirty-nine meet
ings: the council of ten. which held
seventy-two meetings, and the coun-
Gil of four, which held 145 meetings.
! These three councils also gave hear
ings to the chairmen of the tech
meal commissions and all the repre-
sentatives of allied or neutral coun
tries interested. Finally, when at
the beginning Of May the texts We're
settled upon. the cabinets of the Va
, rious powers were called into cob-
sultation.
Such were the general conditions of
the work of the conference. ! come
now to the conditions in which its
decisions were arrived at; that is to
say, to the very origin of this un-
precedented treaty. which. after fif-
ty-two months of war, restored peace
| to the world.
The conference deprived no one of
! the right of being heard. All the
| countries represented. no matter how
small, participated in the labors of
| the commissions. either as members
or as witnesses. All were heard by
! the great powers. and the number of
these hearings, exceeds 300. But the
| direction of the work remained in
+, the hands of those who had won the
| war. 1t was thus that on January IL
i 1919 the body known as the council
| Of ten men met; it was composed OF
! the heads of government and minis
States. the British empire. France
! Italy and Japan. This council SAT
twice daily from January IL to

peace and with such urgent prob
lens of world politics as could not

end was not yet in sight. and that,

several dozen experts. no headway

everybody had got into the habit of

stantly being adjourned. That per-
! feet frankness essential to obtain re-
! suits was difficult in the presence of
| so large an audience. When anything
| leaked out, each delegation blamed
the other for it. These were the rea-
sons-and there was none other
why 1t was decided to narrow the
circle. Thus the council of four, in
creased to five when the japanese
| delegate was present, was formed,
| and it was assisted in some of the
! less important matters hy tho ronpc;I

foreign affairs. To. what obscure

OIL INTEREST: HELD
DANGER TO PARLEY
Drawback to. Arms Confer,
ence Seen in British
American Conflict.
BY the Associated Press.

d! tue Associated fFeSS.
LONDON November i.-One danger
to final and satisfactory agreement
at the approaching Washington con-
ference lies in the present conflict OF
British and American interests in oil
questions. says a lengthy ARTICLE in
the London Times today.
1T may fairly be advanced, says
the article, IF Great Britain is not
prepared to make concessions on this
vital question the conference is like
ly to break down.
The writer advWeates abandonment
by the British government "of their
present policy of participation in oil
production and supply" and ;.dds that
if the British government "renounces
its control of the Anglo Persian Oil
Company and produces evidence of its
complete dissertation from active
participation in the oil industry. 1t
can justly demand. whether in Cali
fornia or the Philippines, continuance
of Americas old and sound policy
of the open door 1t is the only
policy that will make for the worlds
peace.
Granted the conference has bet
ter chance for success with a limited
definite agenda, it is yet necessary
that the public, as well as the rep
resentatives Of this country in WASH
ington, should fully realize that, while
hold first place in the agenda. that
question cannot be satisfactorily set
tied without complete understand
ing between America and Great Brit
ain on the international aspect of oil
production and supply.
1T cannot be denied that in the
operation of certain oil companies
there is the taint of British govern
ment control. That is the real cause
of the bad feeling that exists between
nd D,-;t Ill
question. and that is why the anxiety
of the British admiralty for the Sc
curity of oil supplies for the British
fleet in time of war, which at once is
reasonable and genuine. has come
into conflict with the equally reason
able and genuine anxiety of the
American oil men as to the future
profits and prospects in the oil busi-
ness in time of peace.
L. S. Held Self-Supporting.
1--WE know that Great Britain does
not, in fact. dominate the oil situa-
ideas of oil ACKNOWLEDGMENT. yet the
operations of the Anglo-Persian Oil
Company and the Shell-Royal Dutch
group carry thA taint of British gov
ernment participation. and where
these commercial concerns have
pushed their activities forward in
competition with the Standard Oil
Company. the 100 per cent American
sees signs of British preparedness for
q future naval war"
The article brands as fallacy. "the
axiom. SO generally accepted, that oil
supplies are the ultimate basis of ma
val efficiency" adding that oil power
depends upon sea power for every big
nation except America. which is in
the unique position of being. if not
actually at present. yet potentially
Self-supporting in OIL"
It asserts that the industrial and
commercial control of oil fields with
out wartime military or naval COM
p,and is futile because Of the neces-
sity of transportation. 1t declares
further that sound. commercial and
r.o...nic reasons justify a change in
the British policy on account of the
