PARLEY' DELEGATES
GUARDED BY POLICE
Foreign Visitors Here for
Peace Conference Threat
ened by Communists.
BY the Associated Prees.

NEW YORK, September 29.-While
more than 200 delegates TO the Inter
parlia mentary Union conference in
Washington are here in the interests
of world peace. hundreds of police
are guarding the visitors against hos
tile demonstrations from Communists,
Irish Republican sympathizers, anti
Fascists and other groups.
The arrival of Irish, Italian and
British delegations having occasioned
hostile, and even violent. outbursts,
police have been detailed to escort
the visitors about the city. Guards
are stationed at various hotels and
special precautions are taken at all
meetings of individual groups.
Protest against the administrations
exclusion of ShapurU Saklatvala,
Communist member of Parliament,
from the British delegation was
voiced at a meeting last night ar.
ranged by the Civil Liberties Union.
A resolution was adopted charging
the action of Secretary of State Kel-
traditions" an 'offense to the British
people" and contrary to the princi-
pie of free speech
Renne Smith, British delegate, said:
IF we are to discriminate as to
what accredited members are to at
tend these meetings tof the Inter
parliamentary Unionl the whole spirit
of the meetings fails"
Frank p. Walsh was cheered when
he said: We all want To destroy
the British Empire"
Belief that none of the British dele
gates wanted Saklatvala, however,
was mentioned in an earlier state
ment by Sir Park Goff, temporary
al,o h1 Ln1a ri II
c. Woodcock. whose protest against
Saklatvalas presence in the British
delegation brought the matter to the
regretted that his own government
had not taken as Arm a stand against
anarchists and revolutionaries as the
United States.
The red peril seems to have be-
come so acute Col. Woodcock said,
that unless we at once take a firm
stand we shall inevitably become the
victim of a revolution"
Earlier in the day 800 Communists
were prevented by police from greet
ing the arrival of the British dele
gates with demonstration. An un-
furled banner carried the words:
"Saklatvala is friend of labor. The
British delegates are enemies of or
ganized labor"
Police guarded the delegates at the
city hall. where Mayor Hylan de-
livered the official welcoming address.
Later they were guests of the League
of Nations Nom Partisan Association
and the English Speak king Union at
banquets.
The delegates, after the arrival of
German representatives today, go 10
Washington by special train tomor-
row. The conference opens Thurs
day. Only elected representatives to
legislative bodies in all countries are
eligible for membership.

 RagEedy Andy also picked three ice cream Sones and the two Rag Eedys sat down to enjoy their find.
 But they had only taken a nibbe from each ice cream cone when they heard 8 harsh laugh and before they could get to their feet, the old Witch hopped from her magical fly ing hroomstick and caught the Rag gsdys.
 Raggedy Andy tried his best to remember the magical words the old Witch told him, but think as hard as he could. Raggedy Andy could net think of the words.

WHEN YOUR FEET ARE ACHING

Sore and aching feet are common with folk who walk quite bit, or spend many hours standing.
 Improper fitting shoes may be blamed, but with the best fitted shoe possible, often there is pain.
 A good treatment for sore feet is the use of strong solution of salt water at night. ".
 After the feet have been soaked in the solution they should be sponged off with cold water, and massaged well. Then they should be bandaged with strips, saturated in 2 mixture of equal parts Of witchhazel, tannin and alcohol.
