SPEAKER LAUDS
LEAGUE To
WOMEN
Raymond Fosdick AppIauded
at Conference on Cause
and Cure of War

Flirting with the League of Ma
tons was the pleasure of the Ma.
tional Conference on the Cause and
Cure OF War, in the Washington
Hotel today.
Despite the oft-repeated assurance
Of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait and
other leaders of the conference that
these representatives of nine ma
tional women's organizations had
nothing in common with the League
or with pacificistic movements, the
meeting showed its hand" literally,
today.
Raymond Fosdick, OF New York,
formerly officially connected with
the League, and long an active sup.
porter OF the international society
by written and spoken word, caused
the showdown by the peroration OF
his speech on the Leagues work.
"You who do not like the League
Of Nations, and its technique" ne
asked. have you anything else to
suggest?''
One Yes" Heard.
There was one dissenting ives in
the storm Of applause, but it could
not easily be located, either then or
later.
"If you are not satisfied with the
League, the responsibility is on you
to suggest something better" Mr..
Fosdick said, by way OF conclusion.
and the hand-clapping broke out
afresh.
He was bombarded with questions
from the floor, pertinent to his sub.
Ject. but none could be said to be
unfriendly to the League.
A wave OF deprecatines "ah's''
swept the Hall Of Nations when Mr..
Eosdick pointed out that the United
states mas sent many unofficial OBJ
servers to conferences sponsored by
the League, but has never paid a
cent Of the overhead.
Esther Morton smith. NJ PhiIa.
delphia, member of the League 81
Women Voters, in posing a ones
ton for Mr.. F'osdick, stated con.
fidently that she was .ssure thai
most OF US in this room are IN
favor Of the league"
Message for League.
The other deve1opment of the
morning which indicated the
warmth OF feeling which exists b
the conference for the league came
early in the session, when Mrs
George Allen, also a member OF
the League of Women Voters
moved that Mrs. Gait should carry
to league headquarters in Geneva
the results Of this meeting. The
matter was referred, with the kind
lest of feelings, to the continual
committee, also appointed today.
The visible outcome of the con
ference was forecast today, when
this committee was. appointed. II
will operate as a Central flexible
PLAN among the various organize
tons represented in the confer
ence. Each Of the associations is
represented on the committee.
Mr.. FOsdick, Harding his speech
with references to the policy of the
United States toward the League
of Nations, told OF the numerous
conferences held under the leagues
auspices. He pictured the league
as working ceaselessly, day and
night" on conference after confer
ence. In fact, he stated, one of the
main activities Of the league is to
start international conferences on
every subject of general interest
under the sun.
Mr.. Fosdick was followed by Miss
Grace Abbott, head of the chill
dren's bureau of the Department
of Labor, who spoke on official
reports concerning international
traffic in women and children.

Say, fellers, it was some show
b'lieve me! Pop said it was the same
oil thing, and if you've seen one you've
seen 'em all, and why didn't they ever
add somethin' new. 1 was beginnin' t
feel sorry cuz the show wasn't goin'
t int'rest Dad when alluva sudden he
hit himself a lick on the knee and
yelled, 'Loolkit that fool guy on that
trapeze! and Nom said Dad, don't
yell like that and Pop said he
couldn't help yellin' when he got heart
failure.
when the bareback rider came on
Pop leaned forward and Nom said,
Isn't that one in the middle ring
bee-yutiful" pointing to a white
Arabian horse that was dancin', and
Pop said, 'Youbetcha, an she hasn't

had a dime for some peanuts, but
he motioned not to bother him, as he
was countin' how many times Lily
Leitzell could turn on that trapeze,
so she had to wait. Then he called
the man and bought three packages
of peanuts, package of popcorn and
three bottles of soda, and didn't
notice that he didn't get any change
from his dollar until Nom asst about
it, and then it was too late.
This is a brand-new circus, sure

operation of the Dawes plan and in

world peace were discussed today by
speakers before the annual meeting

and Social Science. The meeting will
continue through Saturday, with
three sessions each day.
Referring to the Dawes plan as "a

former Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, declared these sores re
quired something more for cure than
such a poultice, soothing as it may

"The adoption of the Dawes plan, ="
said Mr.. Crosby, did nothing more
than give breathing space within
which new aliSnments of opposing
forces might be made. Grave ma
teriaI interests and violent national
passions are involved in a status es-
tablished only on paper, and now
threatened on many sides.
."The world has not evolved a cen

lied coercive force. Until II does we
may see outbreaks of violence-of
war-as the usual attempts toward
the obtainment of objectives ardently
desired by one group or groups and
ardently opposed by the other"

Discussing international debts, DR..
Herbert Adams Gibbons. Princeton

get public opinion to realize that there
was an interdependence between these
and world peace. He said the United
States. as the principal creditor of all
her associates in the war, including
France, the principal creditor of Ger
many, eventually would be compelled
not only to take the initiative in solv-
ing the problem of interallied debts,
but also to adopt a bold and clear
cut policy in regard TO the repara-
tions issue.
