Women's Club Hears
Colby Professor
On National Affairs

The Waterville WomanS CiuD
held it's regular meeting In Library
hall Tuesday evening. DR.. Wiikih-
son of Colby gave another OF the
very interesting talks of the winter
on National and International Al
fairs"
DIR. Wilkinson at the beginning OF
his talk said that the most important
world event at the present momeht
is the meeting of the League or Ma.
tions at Geneva. The MAN ooJect
of this gathering Is to proVloe q
seat for Germany in the councls.
Tho whole affair has been compn-
cated nv the demand of POLAND
Snain. Brazil and China for similar
recognition. There seems to have
been an understanding at the Lo-
corno conference last fall that Ger
MANY should be admitted alone. Tne
German representatives at Geneva
are insisting that this agreement
shall be fulfilled. They entertain
fear that Poland is being placed IN
the council in order to oppose the
German position.
The whole situation Is fraugh1
with confusion and is not without
dramatic interest. The French IN
sist that Poland shall be admitted to
the council. Sir Austen Chamber
lain. the British foreign secretary, IS
personally inclined to support
France and Poland, but during the
past few weeks there has been an
insistent demand on the part of the
British public and press in favor OF
Germany's contention. 1t was hoped
that the spirit Of Locarno wouli
dominate the proceedings at the
League. One fact, however. emerges
ont of the proceedings and that is
the immense prestige which now at
taehes tn the League of Nations.
Eight prime ministers, IA foreign
secretaries and host of ambassa-
doris are in attendance at its meet
ings.
DR.. Wilkinson next discussed the
attitude of Europe towards the
United States. Nothing is more
striking than the tendency on the
part of European nations to combine
for the purpose Of maintaining their
position against this country, he
said. The determination on the part
Of the European states to effect an
economic union is directed at Amer
lea. The insistence of this country
on payment Of debts and the fact
that so much of Europe's wealth
mas been transferred to Washington
and New York are largely RESPONSE
BILE for this European attitude.

Recital Dedicates
Memorial Organ of
First Baptist Church

The Purinton memorial organ of
the First Baptist Church was ded-
icated in a most appropriate way last
evening by recital by Gordon Balch
Nevin, a member. of, distinguished
musical family and one Of the fore
most organists Of the country The
recital was attended by a large num-
Der of people, who were very favor
ably impressed, both with the super
iority of the orga, and with the fine
technique of the player.
BY choosing as his opening seiec-
ton Sir Edward Cigars military
march. "Pomp and Circumstance"
Mr.. Nevin was enabled to bring tho
basstones and the full volume of the
organ into play. From the moment
that the opening strain had been
played 1t could plainly be seen that
the organ is enc admirably adapted
to the church. A piece much enjoyed
was 'Daguerrotype of an Old Moth
err" by Harvey B. Gaul, which was
dedicated to Mr.. Nevin. Two Of the
selections were of the artists own
composition, ''Festal Procession" and
will O. the Wisp," and for his rem
dition of these, especially the latter,
which is more widely known, Mr..
Nevin was heartily applauded.

FACTIONS CLASH IN
PROPOSED CANAL
GREAT LAKES TO SEA

washington, Marcn - (AfJ-
Forces contending for an all-Ameri-
can canal route from the Great Lakes
to the sea by the way of the Hudson
River and those opposing it in favor
of the international or st. Lawrence,
waterway project, clashed today at
the opening Of hearings before the
river and harbor board Of the army
engineers corps.
The findings Of a special board Of
army engineers, which recently sub
mitted a report holding that the cost
Of the all-American canal would be
too great in view of prospective bene-
fits. were assailed by Chairman
Dempsey of the house rivers and
harbors committee, who represents
northwestern New York district, and
supported by Representatives Sos
nowski Of Michigan. and Chalmers of
Ohio, and former Governor Harding
of Iowa.
Efforts to limit the discussion fail
ed and the board tentatively extend
ed the hearings for a ten day period,
despite an appeal by Mr.. Dempsey
for a decision before Wednesday Of
next week, when he said he expected
to present the annual river and har-
Dor bill to the house.
The question of national defense
was injected into the hearing by Rep
resentative Dempsey, who read let
ters from Secretaries Wilbur and
Dwight Davis and from President
Crowley of the Fleet Corporation, to
sustain his contention that the inter-
national route would expose Ameri-
can traffic to possible stoppage in
event Of war, and that for this rea-
son, the all-American canal project
was preferable.
Representative Sosnowski charged
that the letters from the war and ma
wy secretaries were in the nature OF
threats to subordinate officers" and
that they "had no right" to write such
opinions when decision by army en-
gineers was being considered.
Major General Jadwin, assistant
chief of the army engineers and
president of the board, interrupted
him by hammering for order and told
him he could not criticize the secre-
taries. before the board.
Il am a member of congress and
this is an American court" Mr..
Sosnowski retorted. II have the
right to criticize the president If I
please before this or any other
board"
"You can't do it before this board"
General Jadwin reiterated.
The general informed the Michi-
gan representative that he would be
heard later with the stipulation that
he must not criticize the secretaries
before the board and the excitement
died down.
Later, when the ten day extension
of the hearing was tentatively de-
cided upon, Representative Sosnow-
ski remarked that he would not be
"muzzled" but would require the
same treatment he would receive in
the house. where any criticism he
might make of the war and navy
secretaries could be answered. Gen.
eral Jadwin made no reply.
