erirg to the formal sessions Of the
conference.
Acceptance of an international
agreement is possible only if nations
will give up certain primitive rights"
Of the same nature which man sur
rendered when he entered civilized
society, Gen. Bliss stated, stresSing
the thought emphasized by other
speakers that the fundamental cause
Of war lies in the mind Of man and
that the restraint OF passions and
prejudiceS through education is es-
sential before wars can be averted.
Primary causes Of war will exist
forever, Gen. Bliss conceded, but
actual warfare can be averted if an
organization of nations will develop
a system Of checks and balances to
insure harmony within the individual
State. Such an international organI-
zation should be based, he said. Oh a
code of law approved of and recog-
nized by the legislative bodies OF the
various nations; an international
court to decide disputed or eXtraordi-
nary points Of law; sufficient disarma-
ment among nations as to permit the
law and the court to operate success
fully, and a formal association Of ma
tions for the enforcement of peace,
with each nation retaining the oppor-
tunity for individual development.
Urges Peace Preparation.
Preparation for peace rather than
offense should be made by the ma
tions, declared DR.. Alfred f. Zimmern
of the Intellectual Institute of Intel
lectual Cooperation, Paris, and peace
rather than war is natural among
men.
The trend Of the world is against
parliament of man, he said. because
the signs Of the times point toward
democracy and democracy brings with
it diverse conditions of life. This
country, he added. is in a position to
influence the politics Of the world
toward the obtaining of peace rather
than the signing Of treaties.
The Germany Of today is land or
democratic institutions and is contrib
uting a new political philosophy to
the world, said DR.. Ernst Jackh Of
Berlin, president Of the German High
School of Politics. It is the geograph-
ical heart of Europe and is aiding in
the development of the new Europe.
he declared. Political forces OF Europe

Letter to President.

In making public this letter from
the President Mr.. Rudolph took oc
casion for the first time to make
public the letter he sent to the Presl
dent in October expressing his desire
to retire. It follows in full:
October 90, 1926.
Dear Mr.. President:
For nearly 10 years OF my h1e
nv most earnest efforts have been
devoted to public service as President
Of the Board of Commissioners of the
District of Columbia.
"The service has been a consenIal
one, both as an official occupation and
by reason Of the opportunities it has
afforded me to enjoy the cooperation
Of my colleagues and my fellow citi-
zens. have also had the public
spirited support Of yourself. your
predecessors and the committees of
Congress having immediate relation
to the District of Columbia affairs, in
my effort toward the promotion Of
the public welfare at the National
Capital.
''The duty, however, has always
been a rigidly engrossing one, and at
times. oppressively onerOus. I there
fore feel that, in view of this service,
I can, without the risk of appearing
o shirk my responsibility as a de-

day, plunged into the duties of his
office today. It was one of the busiest
days in many months at the District
building and the new Commissioner
found little time to read the congratu-
latory messages that were heaped high
on his desk
Just few minutes after Mr.. Talia-
ferro reported for duty. his colleagues,
Commissioners Daugherty and Bell.
called him into an informal conference
to arrange for a modification of the
automobile identification tag distribu-
ton plan. Afterward he sat with
Commissioners Bell and Dougherty at
a public hearing on proposed changes
in the highway plan Of the District.
which kept him occupied until almost
noon.
Virtually all OF the new Commits
sioner's time will be taken up this
afternoon with visits from the heads
Of the various departments under his
supervision. These include the office
of the collector of taxes. the assessor,
disbursing officer, auditor and the
Board of Public Welfare.
Rudolph Is Pleased.
Mr. Rudolph, who retired to private
life when his successor took the oath
of office, said today that the many
kind and complimentary references
that have been made about his long
service as Commissioner cause him
to feel that his efforts in behalf OF
the Capital during the nearly 10 years
he devoted to the public have not
been in vain.
The former Commissioner will al
ways cherish these tributes as his re-
ward for his service to the city.
Among these is an expression from
President Coolidge, which he prizes
very highly. The latter is in the form
Of a personal letter received by the
Commissioner Saturday morning: The
President wrote as follows:
my Dear Mr.. Commissioner:
Your resignation as member OF
the Board of Commissioners OF the
District of Columbia has been re-
ceived and Is hereby accepted. 1t Is
unnecessary to state that very much
regret that the present condition OK
your health makes you feel CON
strained to relinquish this post which
Won have filled with so much salts
faction to the people Of the District.
1t is one requiring a great deal OF
tact and business ability, which you
have been so able to supply. | Wlsn
to thank you on behalf OF the Federal
Government for your services ana
trust that little rest will restore you
in health and give YOU the leisure
that your public activity has so "eii
merited.

FORD DEFENSE GAINS
POINT IN LIBEL SUIT
Granted Permission for Examina.
ton of Russian Witnesses
in Europe.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 3.-IIenry Ford
was granted permission yesterday for
4 commission of Undergraduates" to
examine witnesses in Europe in con-
nection with the libel suit brought
against him by Herman Bernstein,
asking 100000.
Judge Hand rendered the decision,
in which the original request by at.
torneys for MIR. Ford for an open
commission to take testimony in the
European capitals was refused. The
testimony desired details with the
publication by Bernstein Of minutes
of the so-called Russian Committee
for Saving the Fatherland.
Bernstein named the Dearborn pub
fishing Co, owned by Ford and pub
fishing the Dearborn Independent. as
co-defendant, alleging that articles
printed in it in 1921 had attacked him.
Mr.. Ford, in this phase of the suit,
sought the testimony of former Rus
sian monarchists and officers to dis
prove Bernstein's contention that the
statements in the Dearborn indie
pendent regarding the committee were
false.
Judge Hand held that the evidence
sought would not play so vital a part
in the trial 'as to justify the great
expense of the open commission"

Tribune.

BARON ROTHSCHILD'S
ELECTION IS VOIDED
French Chamber Denies Seat on
Allegation He Spent Money Too
Freely in Campaign.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, July 3.-The Chamber of
Deputies yesterday voted against seat
ing Baron Maurice de Rothschild
whose election as deputy for the
Hautes-Alpes Department in August,
1924, was contested on the charge of
corruption. The vote yesterday was
209 to Sc, with 285 absent or not vot-
ing.
The baron. who Is one Of the
wealthiest men in France, never voted
in the Chamber, as the validity of his
election was held up pending the in
quiry. 1t was reported by the commits
sion appointed to investigate the
charges against him that he spent in
the neighborhood of /, SOC, 900 francs in
donations, although he would have
been. elected whether he spent the
money or. not. Most of the money
went to people who did not keep their
promises, the report said.
The committees finally concluded in
favor of making the election valid be.
cause large expenditures are always
customary in the Department of
Hautes-Alpes, but the Chamber yester-
day, voting largely on party lines,
failed to take that view.
Another election, in which Baron de
Rothschild probably will be a candi.
date, is to be held to fill the seat.
