BARONESS HEADS GERMAN
-: z: WOMEN SEEKING THE. VOTE

New York, November ga Rus
sian refugee, now a naturalized
American woman voter, has been
drafted into service in Germany to
help progressive German women
establish "The Women Voters Or
ganiZation."
She is the Baroness LEILA de Toer-
inoff whose husband, Russian
colonel, was killed fighting the Ger
mans three weeks after the war be-
gan.
Later her castle near Riga was
confiscated by the Communists, her
jewels were stolen and she was
forced to fee to New York almost
penniless.
Baroness de Toerinoff quickly
adapted herself She soon found a
means of livelihood as a singer
Later she became citizen.
ReVisits Europe
In July she sailed for Europe to
be gone six months.
"All my property has gone" she
has written back to New York.
Even the jewels that | left in care
of friends in Germany have long
since been sold TO buy food"
But there's a lighter side to her
'erS. German women, she writes,
asked her to tell them about the
experiences of American women in
politics. Her discussions led to an
Invitation to become actively en-
gagged in organizing women voters
in various German cities, AN ivita-
ton she has accepted.

MR.. CHILD'S STATEN ENT

|
In general Mr.. Child, official observ-
er for the United States, bases his
statement to the Lausanne conference
of the American attitude toward the
question of the straits upon the doc
trine of the open door. That serves
we'll SO far as commerce is concerned,
but is more difficult to apply to the
passage Of ships of war. His argument
against the naturalization of the Black
sea is therefore otherwise based. No
nation, he declares, is more ready than
the United States to uphold the need
OF maintaining naval force to act as
police to protect American citizens, as
vas recently shown in the Near East.
Ships of war, he urges, are mot nee
cssarily agents of destruction, and
he adds "We want access to every free
body of water in the world, and the
United States is not going to be salts
fled unless American warshiys are al
lowed to pursue their peaceful errands
wherever American citizens and Amer
lean merchant ships may CO. The
benevolent spirit shown by the United
States navy in Near Eastern waters
is beyond question, yet the general
principle enundiated here is Of rath-
er staggering breadth. All nations may
send commercial vessels into the Great
Lakes, from Ontario to Superior-is
it to be inferred that where their cltl
zcns and their merchant ships may go
they have an indisputable right to send
ships of war for protection? Ger
tainly Mr. Child would not admit that;
he will have to explain therefore why
the United States has right to de
mand that the Black sea should not
be given status similar to that of
the Great Lakes.
American warshiys, not all naval op-
erations are so peaceful and humanl-
tartan in character. 1t is stated IN
London that if Russia builds up its
naval strength in the Black sea Great
Britain will ask the United States to
call another Washington conference to
deal with this question. But to such
conference Russia would have to be
invited, and if Russia should show that
it's naval plans resulted directly from
the admission to the Black sea OF the
warships Of all nations it's logic might
be difficult to meet. For it can hardly
be contended that the main function
of ships of war is rescuing refugees, or
that the admission Of sea power to
basin from which navies have long been
excluded may not call for defensive
measures by the riparian states. Mr..
Child in his statement may have com
nlitted the United States more deeply
against the demilitarization of nearly
landlocked seas than was quite prud-
.ent Sat this time.
