BOX PRIZE. SEEN
AS BIC MD To
LEAGUE
Hard Shows How Plan ls Tied
Up With Organizations to
Spread Propaganda.

CONTINUED from First Pagel
Box prize 60 to the League Of Ma:
tons Non.PaFtiaan Association" and
then the League of Nations Nom
Partisan Association" does Its most
conscientious best to educate the
contestants.
The "irreconcilahIes" do not deny
the eouaeientiousness, but they see
themselves totally nased Oft the
course In the running for publicity
next year when the Box peace plan
winners are announced and whN1 the
Box peace plan authorities begin to
conduct their nationwide retefen-
dunn for ratification of their prize
peace plan,
Time Well Chosen.
The "irreconeilabies" also learn
with anguish that tim referendum
is to be conducted at the very mo-
ment when it will do the most good
to- the League of Nations Non-Pari-
san Association" in its campaign for
rersuading both political parties to
adopt a League of Nations plank.
The primaries for choosing dele.
gates to the national conventions or
beth political parties begin in March.
The referendum by the Box peace
plan authorities will be held, it is
believed, in February. Immense
numbers of people, as individuals,
and especially as members of or
CARNATIONS, will be recorded as nav
irg given their approval to the prize
plan.
This plan will be one which
already has received the approval Of
a jury OF judges, among whom the
t. VHyinn TO
the ablest Republican advocate Of
the League Of Nations, Just exactly
as former Justice Clarke. OS the
League Of Nations Non-Partisam AS
ISOLATION" is it's ablest present active
Democratic advocate.
Their terror is augmented by
learning that Mrs. Clifford Pinchot,
wife of the governor of Pennsylr
vania and strong friend of interna'
tional peace organization, told q
meeting in Philadelphia that Pres
ident Coolidge, to her knowledge,
was strongly favorable to the aetiv-
tiles Of the Box Peace Plan authori-
ties and believed that these aetivi-
ties would have considerable weight
in determining the future foreign
policy of the United States.
Fear Coolidge Is Slipping.
President Coolidge's acceptance of
the honorary leadership Of the
"SulgraYe Institution" which
spends its time promoting a diplO.
matte union between the United
States and Great Britain; his ap-
pointment Of ex-senator Kellogg, a
convinced and extremely well-in-
formed pro-Leaguer to be amhassa-
dor to Great Britain; his acceptance
of membership and of office in the
Congregational Church by invita-
ton of a Congregational national
conference which simultaneously
declared in favor of the League Of
Nations; his support of the Hughes
Reparation Calculation Committee
proposal, which the recognized
organs OF pro League publicity like
THE International Interpreter" of
New York have hailed as "the thin
edge OF the WEDGE" and now his
reported approval of the BOX
Peace Plan Contest" which Is DOM
mated by friends of American par
ticipation in the European settle
ment and which is sending it's con
testants for education to the
League of Nations Non-Partisan
Association" - these developments
have filled the irreconcilables"
with growing dread that the
President, whom they thought to
be on their side, is slipping away
from them to the other side.
