Member of City Meeting Board Opposed to Its Being Abolished

LII ShS AbOhih
 Opposed to Its Being Abolished Editor New Britain Herald:
 The writer questions the correct ness of the facts on which the sole argument for abolition of the> city meeting board is based.
 During the year in which he has been a member he fails to recall a meeting in which there were not at least fifty in attendance,' even when the business to be acted upon was of the most perfunctory char acter. On several occasions there were well over hundred present. Whether non-members made up part of the number, is not known.
 There can be no objection to the requirement of a proper quorum and if the number were placed at

of the poor food they are forced to
eat.
The doctors fled the charges with
the board of trustees of the church
at Cincinnati, Ohio. Heath has been
busy canvassing the local board of
the trustees of the hospital here,
composed Of Negro ministers, and is
endeavoring to line them UP with him
against the Negro doctors. He has
had poor success so far.
One of the charges filed with the
trustees by the doctors is that Heath
called the doctors, niger doctors"
in staff meeting, and issued orders
that they must not stop in the halls
or be seen in front of the hospital.
Another charge is that the superin-
tendent refused to allow them to in
spect the charts of patients who have
been treated by white doctors without
first obtaining permission Of the white
doctors.
The doctors declare they will re-
sign unless conditions are bettered.

Of the so-called great war, Poland
would have been quite a different
state from what it actually became
by virtue of the Versailles treaty"
Thus, the existence of the Soviet
order in the former Russian Empire,
an order in which the Poles see or
affect to see danger to themselves,
is in fact blessing for them.
Must Deal With Russia
"Under such conditions, a hostile
policy towards the Soviet republic, a
policy carried on only because Of the
Soviet regime ruling in that republic,
is an utterly absurd line of conduct.
Everyone else in Europe has realized
that by this time. Indeed, one may
be perfectly assured of the economic
and political prosperity of the Union
of Soviet Republics, such develop
ment being entirely in the interests of
European countries, the industrial
ones as well as those that possess a
surplus of labor hands, as all such
countries may find way open for a
mutually profitable exploitation"

PATRIOTIC WOMEN
HIT AT AGAIN BY
WOMEN'S COUNCIL

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1.-THE
American patriotic women were
given a jolt when the international
women's council in convention here
voted to endorse the league of ma
tons, the world court, disarmament
and kindred projects. More Ill feel
ing cropped up when they issued a
statement charging the council with
being merely the propaganda agent"
Of the league.
Members Of the Daughters OF the
American Revolution" said Mrs. Har-
ris. "have been trying since the con-
vention began to promote i'll feeling
in the council itself over these reso-
lutions."
Mrs. Harris also charged the
daughters with bad faith" in repudi-
ating their contract to permit their
auditorium to be used by the coun-
Gil for its meeting.
Three years ago Mrs. Anthony
Wayne Cook. president OF the D. A R..
agreed to permit us to meet in their
memorial auQlJOrlum-
Last October we were suddenly
notified we could not use it. They
said our use Of the hall would be in
convenient, and gave no other ex-
PLANTATION"
The council, she said, had lost be-
cause of the withdrawal of the hall
approximately $4,000.
Mrs. Harris said officials Of the
council, to assure the D. A. r., that
no unpatriotic propaganda would oc-
cur during the meetings, had more
than one year in advance obtained
copies Of speeches to be made at the
present meeting, all of which were
found to be proper.
By vote of 112 to 215 a motion for
afiliation with other international or
CARNATIONS of women was defeated. A
two-third majority was necessary
under the councils constitution for
adoption. The names Of about thirty
international bodies that might afili-
ate were given.
The fight against afiliation was led
by the American delegation. Prof.
Marian p Whitney of Vassar college,
Poughkeepsie, N. Y. chairman of the
councils education committee de-
clared affiliation with other interna-
tionals would make the council an
unwieldy organization.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Oriental
branch of the Workers (Communist)
Party, New York section, discussed
Communism for an entire evening be-
fore the Japanese methodist episco-
pal church here. Comrade Kawash-
ina spoke on the subject of The Work
ers Party Of America, It's Principles
and Tactics Comrade Sasaki then
spoke on the development OF the
world mad theu Communist Interna-

There werei ministers, secretaries
Of Y. M. C.gAPs, students of the
Union Theological Seminary, and Of
Columbia University present. The
religious atmosphere thus created by
such an audience was ridiculed by the
chairman, and was completely de-
stroyed by Kawashima's Introductory
speech.
Discussion followed the speeches of
the COMMUNISTS Russian conditions
were fully explained by the two speak
ers. The theology of Second Interna-
tional and the reformists was exposed
by the speakers.
The meeting lasted until midnight.
The Japanese newspaper in New

criticism of the Oriental brnach Of

conducted the discussion.
