Apparent England Is OPP
posed to Policy of Isola-
ton BY the French
STIRS CONFERENCE
ON DISARMAMENT

Felt That Premier BRAND Embarrassed

of Inviting German Representative to
This Conference. .
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-11-26

Gus silence, he promptly faced about and
outlined the necessity of a policy of isola-
ton on the part of France which he hoped
the other powers would not disappfove.
in other words, he indicated that France
unhelped by Great Britain and the United
States must have free hand on the con-
tinent of Europe. The American delega-
ton made no comment, but the British
felt the OCCASION should not pass without
instant action by them government.
Advised from Washington
London cablegrams say freely that the
CurZon speech was made with particular
reference to the Washington Conference
and the assumption here is that the Brit
ish cabinet acted upon adviceS from this
capital after what occurred at the Wednes-
day meeting. incidentally this incident is
the first in which a controversy has
arisen over the true meaning of an utter
ance in the confidential sessions and that
school of thought which advocates open
sessions even for the committees is con-
tending that misunderstanding or misin-
depreciation would never have been pos
sible if the meetings were open to the press
TO which. Of course, the answer is made
that the British government has promptly
exposed the whole affair to the air of pub
| lie opinion through the widespread pub
icity given the Curzon speech.
| Anglo-FFeneh relations are hardly i'm
proved after the clash between the BRAND
and Curzon views as to how Germany may
be treated and il would not be surprising
if the French declined to adhere to the
program of defensive submarines being
suggested for them. This is also a sore
point with the British who hardly will
agree to grant France the right to build
an unlimited number of submarines The
friction between France and Great Brit
ain Is discOncerting to the other powers
and it is being predicted that before the
conference is over the mediating infu-
ence of the United States viii have to be
exercised to obtain a harmonious agree

HOW TO KILL A CHURCH.
Westfield Pastor Publishes II Points
Surprises Congregation.

Surprises Congregation.
WESTFIELD, Mass.-Rev. Conrad
Hooker, pastor of the Methodist
church, created a sensation Sunday
when his church calendar was read
by those who attended the regular
morning service. 1t contained list
of I'D points on killing a church,
as follows:
l. Don't come.
2. If you do come, come late.
3. When you come, come with a
crouch.
4. At every service ask yourself,
What do | get out cf this ?'
5. Never accept Office. 1t is better
to stay outside and criticize.
6. Visit other churches about half
of the time to show your pastor that
you are not tied to him. There is
nothing like independence.
z Let the pastor earn his money,
let him do all the work
s. Sit pretty we'll back and never
sing. If you have to sing, sing out
cf time and behind everybody else.
8. Never pay in advance. especial
" for religion. Wait until you get
your moneys worth, and then wait a
bit longer.
TO- Never encourage the preacher;
If you like a sermon, keep mum
about il. Many a preacher has been
ruined bye fiattery. Don't let his
blood be on your head.
IL. It is good to tell your pastors
failings to any stranger that may
happen in; they might be long time
finding them out.
II. OF course you can't be expected
n get new members for the church
with such a pastor as he is.
l3. If vour church unfortunately
haprers 10 be harmonious, call il
apathy or indifference or lack Of zeal.
or ANYTHING under the sun except
what IL is.
IA. If there happens 10 be a few
jealous workers in the church make
a tremendous protest against the
church's being run by a clique
