An invitation was extended to-
day to the Daughters Of the

delegates to the National Anti
Narcotic Conf ference to be held ct
the Willard Hotel, May
and
Judge Stanton G. PeeIle, one
Of The officers of the conference,
addressed the organisation in
Memorial Continental Hall. He
appealed TO the members for CO.
operation not only through rep
resentation at the conference, but
also by personal effort IN the
communities from which they
come.
Describes Dope" Menace.
"Since the beginning of our Gov
ernment," Judge Peelle said, "men
have been in control. Recently
women have come into their just
rigat and I think It is the finest
thing that could happen to this
country that women should as
sumo leadership, in the great CUES
tions Of reform"
He described briefly the dope
menace in the United States and
said that while no official records
up its spread, the dangerous effect
was apparent"
Continuing, Judge PeeIle said:
1.-The governors of eleven States
have already pledged delegates,
naming from one to twenty repre-
sentatives from each state. The
embassies or legations of France,
Venezuela, Norway, Mexico, Ecua-
dor and Italy have already accepted
cooperation in the conference. It
is believed many other States and
foreign governments viii join the
conference.
Work Heads Committee.
1.-THE committee on call is headed
by DIR. Hubert Work, Secretary of
the Interior. The call to the con-
ference also bears such distin-
guished names as Surg Gen. M.
w. ireland, of the army: Rear Adj
miral e. S. Stitt, surgeon general
of the navy: DIR. Livingston Far
rand, president of Cornell Uniyer-
sity, and many others.
'It is hoped and anticipated that
the daughters or the American
Revolution always in the forefront
of every movement looking toward
the public good and common veal
may be represented by a large
number of national, State and chap.
ter delegates"
While no official action was taken
by the society, Judge Peeile's adj
dress received tremendous ovation.
The failure yesterday of the con.
gress to permit action on the resolu-
ton introduced by Mrs. William
Cumming Story. and resulting pub
licity, brought the question up again
today.
Presses Defensive Issue.
Mrs. Frank Greenwalt, of the Dis
trict of Columbia, presented reso-
luton which, she said, contained the
principles outlined in the Story
measure and asked for a suspension
of the rules so that it might be con-
sidered. The congress voted to pass
on the resolution.
Mrs. Greenwalt declared that the
people of the country would have a
wrong opinion as to the stand the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton have taken with respect to the
Government defensive force and
preparedness program unless the
congress took action at once.
