WAR CONFERENCE
Chairman Praises Work of
Convention Here at
Closing Session.

The second Conference on the Cause
and Cure of War passed into history
last night after the adoption. with but
one important modification of series
of resolutions made public early in the
day by its committee on findings, and
drafted carefully into a general pro-
gram for world peace sponsored by
the conference and left to each of the
nine participating national women's
organizations for practical further
ance during the days to come.
The only recommendation which
failed of adoption was the one relat-
Ing to the war debts, which proposed
q policy of cancelfng all relief debts
and scaling the others Oh a basis of
n falling market. 1t was felt that
further study of economic questions
was necessary before taking a def
mite stand IL regard TO :;le interna-
tiOnal debt question.
Although slight alterations We're
made in the phrasing and emphasiz-
ing of certain of tha recommends
lions. the ma jor results Of the COM
mittee's findings were sustained, and
the point was particularly stressed
shat sitiZens must be thoroughly in
formed as to the true significance Of
International relationships before prac-
ticaI plans calculated 20 insure per-
manent world peace can he put into
operation.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, general
chairman OF the conference, last night
expressed qualification at the progress
made during the meetings. stating
that the results of the conference rep.
resented progress over the conclusions
reached at the initial gathering last
year.
Conference Success
AZ don't mean to say that we've ar
rived yet" she stated, but from the
standpoint OF the committee which
called the conference, the meeting was
a distinct success and marked step
forward toward the formation OF plans
for world peace
Late yesterday afternoon the dele
gates were received at the White
House. and Mrs. Gait gave to Presi-
dent Coolidge q letter embodying the
principal points emphasized at the
sessions and urging his support for
the entry of this country in the World
Court.
Sessions OF the conference. which
began Monday morning and lasted
until last night, were characterized
by unusual harmony, the only rifles
occurring during discussions after
some or the addresses. Very little in.
ternal discord was encountered when
the work began of preparing recon-
men:ations which. in effect, simply
brought the original aims of the con-
ference. decided upon last year, up to
date. viewed in the light of interna-
tional developments during the past
year.
