A CHRISTMAS message. urging a
spirit Of interna tional fellowship,
ts issued by Miss Ruth Morgan of
New York City, chairman OF the
department of international co-opera-
ton OF the National League of WON
en- Voters 1t is here quoted in full:
There are many words used in all
hearts and in all languages at the
very thought of Christmas-words
which cluster spontaneously around
the season like 80 many sparkly jew
els: Love, JOY, peace, fellowship. Civ
ing. brotherhood. But there is one
word for which we can find no place
at this season and that is isolation.
For the individual whose loneliness
implies no warm nome with his Kin
or friends, to rhe nations which fear
friendship with other nations, there
can be no merry Christmas.
IF we belong in the Christian fold
our thoughts f1y back from America
over the seas and mountains. through
the varied countries from which our
forefathers came, and finally rest in
the little hill country of Judea, where,
under the starlit skies, the Great Fore.
father Of US all was born on the first
Christmas night.
ION the other hand if we belong to
the great Jewish tradition or to one of
the churches Of the Orient, our hearts
must still trace over the same way to
homelands Of the spirit in Asia At
Christmas there can be no such thing
as national barriers. Above all, in a
country which owes it's very life to
the courage of immigrants. we Ameri-
cans must think lovingly of the great
human family and the elder brother of
US all.
AT this season, when good will
holds sway. have we any international
gifts with which to celebrate? Yes,
Germany is back in the family of ma
tions at Geneva. Old wrongs have
been solemnly forgiven and forgotten.
The Locarno treaties are a real Christ
mas gift. Every expedient for peace
full settlement of disputes between the
nations Of central Europe Is listed and
