Weller Named AS Delegate
To lnterparliamentary
Union In Switzerland

Senator Weller, with Senators Cur
tbs of Kansas, Mckinley Of Illinois,
Spencer of Missouri, and Caraway of
Arkansas, have been designated as
delegates to represent the Senate Of
the United States at the annual Con-
ference of the parliaments of the lead
ing nations of the world, to be held at
Eerne and Geneva, Switzerland, Aug.
1929, 1924.
Senator Weller, accompanied by
Senators Curtis and Caraway, will
sail from New York about the first
of August. They will go first to Paris
and then motor through the battle
fields of France en- route to Switzer-
land. The Conference at Berne will
continue a week, after which the
President of the Swiss Republic will
take the members of the Conference
to Lausanne, and then to Geneva,
where the Conference will be adj
journed.
The delegation from the United
States will extend an invitation to the
Interparliamentary Union to hold its
Eext conference in this country in
1925, probably at Washington, d. c.,
or perhaps in connection with the
Sesqui- Centennial exhibition proposed
for Philadelphia in 1926.
The primary object of the 1nterpar-
liamentary Union is to secure the CO.
operation of the prominent members
of the parliaments of the leading ma
tons of the world, and to study all
questions of an international charac-
ter suitable for settlement by parlia-
mentary action.
The first meeting of the Union was
held in Paris in 1883, with only Great
Britain and France represented. In
1889 there were delegates from nine
nations, including the United States
Since then, annual meetings have been
held and interest has grown so rapid
" that at the last conference, thirty
four nations were represented, by
delegations ranging in number from
one to twenty-one. These conferences
are held in the parliament buildings
of the respective countries in which
the Union is entertained. Among the
countries represented are the United
States, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria
Canada, Chile, Denmark, Dutch In
dies, Esthonia, Finland, France, Great
Britain, Greece, Germany, Hungary
Italy, Japan, Norway, the Neither.
lands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland
Sweden, and Turkey.
Among the results achieved by the
Union has been it's direct influence
upon the constitution of the Perma-
nent Court of Arbitration at the First
Hague Conference in 1899. 1t was al
SC primarily responsible for the call
ing of the Second Hague Conference
in 1907.
This trip was among the things dis
cussed by Senator Weller with Presi-
dent Coolidge at the White House last
Thursday. Senator Weller expects to
return early in September, in time to
take an active part in the Presidential
