President Eliot of
Harvard Fav0rs u. S.
in League of Nations

Boston. Feb. 2S.-Entrance of the
United States into the League of Ma
tions was urged by President Emeritus
Charles w. Eliot of Harvard and other
advocates of such action at a lcgisla-
tive hearing here today on petition
to the legislators to memorabilia Presi-
dent Harding urging that he present
the covenant of the league to the Sem
ate for ratification.
DR.. Eliot pleaded that the United
States enter the league without insist
ing on exemption from playing a PAL
in the military police duties as the
only way to maintain influence in the
worlds affairs and to prevent war. He
declared that the present generation
has learned that war is the greatest
evil that aff1icts the world.
I'VE have learned that applied science
has made war a vastly more terrible
evil that it ever was" he said That
has been the contribution of applied
science to the conduct of war. We
have learned this about war: That
unless it can be prevented. war is here
after to be much more terrible than
the war we have known and passed
through since 1917.
I'VE all welcome very much the
movement of President Harding and
Secretary Hughes towards the entrance
of our people really into the board of
arbitration.
80 long as America refuses to en-
counter any chance of being called upon
to use force. SO long shall we be with
out influence in the conduct of the
, world and so long shall we be unable
to contribute our own resources and
our moral power to the deliverance Of
the world from war"

Decide Occupation
Forces May Deliver
Coal to the Dutch

Paris. Feb. %. (By A. P.)-Dutch
diplomatic and business representa-
tives appeared before the reparations
commission this afternoon and made
complaint that the Dutch ports and
other interests were suffering through
the non delivery of Ruhr coal under
contract.
After long discussion the deci-
sion was taken that the Franco Bel
gian occupational authorities in the
Ruhr might let the Duthc nave coal.
The Dutch action was taken, it is
stated. as part of the general COM
plant by Dutch and Swiss shippers
that the Ruhr occupation is tying up
their import and export business,
leading to stagnation IN Rotterdam
and other centers. However, it is
asserted that no SPECIAL political
sympathy with the Germans can be
inferred from the Complaints.
