protagonist of the League of Nations,
in his first formal address in Amer

of the Foreign Policy Association in
tho Hotel Astor last night that Amer
lea could not afford to stay out of
the league. The league has already
done meritorious york, and will con-
tinue to do so, he said.
America should ask herself. he
said, if she could not avoid the most
terrible of all entanglements in Eu-
fope-the war-can she afford to
stand aloof from the scheme that
promises more than any other to
prevent the outbreak of war.
Other outstanding points in this ad-
dress included these:
international fear and suspicion
are the basic evils responsible for
the madness of war.
In their places must be substitute
ed the force of persuasion and pub.
lie opinion.
Disarmament cannot come until II
is general and that it cannot be gem
eral until nations agree to help their
neighbors IL they are attacked.
No nation can build a Chinese wall
around its frontiers and exclude the
other nations of the world.
The League of Nations has been
accepted by fitty-two nations as the
best. means of substituting persua.
sion for armed force.

VIENNA, April 3.-On high au-
thority the writer understands that
Chancellor Cuno of Germany has
stated privately that so long as he
is chancellor, Germany will not raise
the white flag of surrender to
France.
On the other hand Cuno is most
eager to have International media
ton.
My perspective, gained here after
visits TO France, the Ruhr and Ger
many, is that Cuno probably would
fall IL he surrendered point blank.
Also I am convinced France will
not leave the Ruhr until she obtains
both a Preparations settlement and a
guarantee against the perpetual
nightmare of future German agrees
sion.
If England and America give such
a guarantee. well and good. II not
France will make a guarantee for
herself.
Germany is aware OF this; hence
her desire for outside intervention.

Membership

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 3.-Ameri-
a membership in the International
Court of Justice probably will be
used by President Harding as a Sub
1ect of one or more speeches TO be
made on his proposed western tour,
1t was said here today by several
members of the Presidents vacation
party.
Mr.. Harding, shortly before the
adjournment of congress last month,
recommended to the senate that the
United States accept conditional
membership in the International
court. Since then he has been study
ing the question, and last night he
talked for some time with DR..

DIR. Butler recommended the pro-
posal of membership in the inter-

Republican party could safely carry
before the country.
Arguments that such membership
would involve the United States IN
the League of Nations are illogical,
he asserted.
