Pan-European Meet
Sees Peril to the
League of Nations

VIENNA, Oct. The Pan-European
congress, where representatives Of rs
nations are discussing Europe's at.
fairs, is open here and some interest
ing phases of political life are re.
yealed.
Several criticisms were aimed at
the league of nations. 1t is powerless
according to some and has little juris.
dictlon in the eyes of others. One
question is whether such a Pan.
European movement as the congress
represents is inimical to the league.
The Greek delegate, who is that ma
tlon's representative to the league,
said that jealousies already exist in
the league and may develop into con.
fiicts which the league is powerless
to prevent. He objected to other than
European countries having authority
in the league on European matters.
He added that Brazil caused the
recent crisis by withdrawal and said
there is danger OF a Pan-American
league forming out of the Pan-Ameri.
can Union and taking a hostile at
titude toward the league of nations.

American Labor Falls
Short of Expectation
in Mine Strike Funds

LONDON, Oct. There has been
general surprise in British labor
circles at. the smallness OF returns
from the appeal made to American
labor unions for strike relief to the
British miners. The lack of support
from America has been compared to
the immense funds for strike relief
sent from the Soviet Union, eleaving
the impression that the Soviet work
ers are much more interested In help
ing the strikers than sthe American
unions.
It was thought that the sending Of
the official delegation to work in con-
junction with the American Fedora
ton of Labor would produce great re-
suits, since American unionists are
supposed to get the highest wages in
the world. British workers are now
disillusioned. The capitalist press is
inferring that money was sent, but
disappeared, thus trying to raise a
conflict in the ranks of the strikers.

KUOMINTANC IN
STATEMENT OF
PARTY POLICY
Chang to Send Troops
South to Human

CANTON, Sept. 17-(By Mail)-
Tchang Tso Lin has decided to ad-
vance to support WI Pei Flu and to
send an army Of 100000 men against
the province Of Human.
The Kuomintang has published a
declaration concerning the next tasks
of the party: The Kuomintang fights
for the unifcation and the democrat
ization of the country. The chief en-
envy at the moment is WI Pei Flu,
who must be smashed.
The Kuomintang appeals to all the
military leaders of Central China to
unite with the Canton troops in the
struggle against WI. Whoever main
tains neutrality will be regarded as
"a friend. After the victory ma
tional assembly will be called and a
united government formed from the
provinces who are inclined to this
step.
Upon the field of foreign policy the
Kuomintang strives for the abolition
of the unequal treaties and the max
ing Of other treaties upon the basis OF
equality. 1t is not the intention Of
China to annul her foreign debt, she
wishes nevertheless to pay off her
debts in accordance with her fnan-
cial and economic possibilities.

considered the attitude of their hosts
on these points to be crude insult
to the conference.
Denounce Missionaries.
There were one or two bittre mo-
ments in the discussions. Perhaps the
most memorable was that which fea-
tured the debate on missionaries in
the Far East. All of the Orientals
except the Filipinos, denounced the
missionaries in unmeasured terms.
At the end of each days discus
sion, good feeling was restored by
some kindly missionary who arose
and explained that there was really
no fundamental difference of opinion
at all.

The sessions, held twice a day, ex-
tended over period of a week.
The conference was called under
the Craftsmanship of Haridas Mozum-
dar. author of book on Ghandi. It
was financed by the ever-ready gentry
of the episcopal church, who explain
ed their charitableness by declaring
sympathy with the previously an
lnounced aims Of the gathering: ito

Not to let a good opportunity 90 to
waste, the hosts overwhelmed their
youthful guests with courtesies, gen.
erously interspersed with religious
propaganda and apologies for imperi-
alism. Every student found good
sized cross on the wall in his room.

fore and after each meal. Each ses-
sion of the conference began with five
minutes silent meditation. Moreover,
a goodly supply of preachers and mis-
sionaries were on hand to participate

cowed by their surroundings. How

No resolutions were adopted by the
delegates. Paranjpe made an attempt
to present some, but he was grace

ton that the conference was merely
an exchange OF views" The concen-
sus of student opinion favored a unit

Of Asia to throw of the imperialist
yoke. The delegates 5 also showed
themselves TO be opposed to the So
called Pan-Asiatic movement, which
was denounced as an instrument of
Japanese Imperialism.
Despite the unnatural restraint IN
which the conference took place, a
sharp conflict in views between the
students and their hosts was discern.

that America has no business in the

low herself to think Of her many bless
ings or to frame even the slightest ex-
cuse for the friend who had failed.
Now, with Christmas approaching,
she grew even more bitter than usual.
"rm not going to do single thing
this year." she repeated to herself over
and over. "Why should I, anyway,
after my great loss?"
So when the Ladies' Aid called for
an offering for the annual entertain
ment and Christmas baskets to be CIV
en- to the poor she was ready with her
answer. But when they left hurriedly
after her curt refusal she was more
unhappy than ever. mo one seems to
have any sympathy for my great mis-
fortune" she walled to herself. what
a cruel world it is; no one seems to
care"
The window where she sat brooding
opened out on Arbor street. Soon after
the Ladies' Aid left she looked out to
see that some one else was coming up
the steps. This time 1t was young
girl and Hulda shifted to herself as
she saw her: another who comes
seeking" she said under frightened lips.
But the young girl who entered had
not come begging. Instead, she had
come to tell Hulda that she was the
daughter of the man to whom Hulda
had entrusted her money and that she
had heard that Hulda was in need
that her loss had left her stranded.
Her father had been Ill for several
months, crushed by the failure OF his
hopes, all of which was due to the
treachery and deceit of his partner in
business. He was now better and
things were beginning to look brighter.
There was every hope that no one
would lose a dollar. In the meantime
the girl had come to offer Hulda some
money from her own earnings-she
was private secretary to some big man
In the city.
After the girl left Hulda sat hud-
died in her chair. God how selfish
she had been-how blind-how un-
grateful Great tears trickled slowly
down her cheeks, tears that carried
away forever the bitterness and self
ishness that had been in her heart Of
late. The world, after all, was won
derful place and its people were Won
derful people!
Making her way to the phone, she
picked it up with hands that trembled
and called for the president of the
Ladies' Aid.
