@'WETS" ASK FOR
FUND TO HELP
ON REFERENDUM

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-William
H. Stayton, chairman of the associ.
alton against the prohibition amend
ment, asked financial support from
800 Republican "wets' last night
for a $3,000,O0O campaign fund to
conduct a national referendum on
prohibition.
Stayton spoke at a private dinner
sponsored by George B. Wightman,
New York broker.
Other speakers were DR.. Nicho-
las Murray Butler, president of Col
umbia University; former Senator
w. Wadsworth and former Repre-
sentative John Philip Hill of Mary
land.
While the speeches were not made
public, it was understood two main
points were stressed. One was for a
national referendum to be held along
the same general lines as the New
York 1926 vote when citizens over
whelmingly voiced their opinion for
revision. The second was for the Re
publican party at the 1928 national
convention to pattern its plank af
ter the 1860 one which proposed Civ
ing each state the fullest liberty in
dealing with its domestic affairs.
Stayton suggested that q plank
calling for national prohibition
referendum be placed in the 1928
platforms of both parties. He also
wanted the referendum s results to
be used as basis for future action.
The $3,000,000 campaign fund
would be used, he said, to tell the
voters of the high points of the
"wet" arguments.
elf we can have no national ref
erendum we urge as an alternative a
referendum in selected states, with
an aggregate vote of 100000, rep
resenting, say, 25,000,000 persons, y
Stayton told reporters.
"We plan, if we can raise the
funds for it, to send two letters to
each of the 27,00O,000 voters in the
United States. At five cents let
ter this would cost about $4,000, 900.
Former Senator Wadsworth an
nounced his candidacy as New York
delegate at large to the 1928 Re-
publican National convention.
DR.. Butler said he was not ga
candidate for any office at ALL"
That was understood by Republican
leaders to be leaving the path as
delegate, or delegate at large. open
to his daughter, Miss Sarah Schuyler
Butler.

RUSSIA ON HI A N ID
Soviet Expected to Take
Prominent Part in the
Negotiations.
By HENRY WOOD
United Press Staff Correspondents

GENEVA, Nov. 29.-The League
of Nations with the United States
and Russia represented partially will
begin tomorrow a vital two weeks
discussion of disarmament and high
politics on which the peace of Eur
ope may depend.
The leagues preparatory disarm-
ament commission meets tomorrow
with Minister Hugh Gibson at Berne
representing the United States and
a big delegation representing Rus
sia.
It's business is to discuss the next
negotiatory step-and the first real
one-toward bringing Europe's arm
aments down from war level.
The league council, or governing
body will meet next week while the
disarmament commission is sitting.
The councils business will be pri-
marily to take up the appeal of
Lithuania against aggression by Po-
land, which she fears.
Effort will be made to effect an
agreement between Poland and Lii
thuania and end the grave threat of
trouble, ever present since Poland's
seizure of the Wilma district several
years ago. 1t seemed so near
few days ago to preciptating a war
in which Russia and France-and
perhaps most of the world-would
have been involved
Seeks Leading Role
Russia is deeply and openly in
terested, on Lithuania s side, in the
Polish affairs France is Poland g
ally, pledged to support her if she
is attacked.
As in previous league conferences,
she has attended it was expected
Russia would try to play a leading
role at the disarmament meeting. 1t
was reported her delegates planned
to demand that the league effect a
mona aggression agreement binding
all Europe and that everyone agree
to jettison half of the present arm
aments.
But the. prospect for disarmament
is not bright. League experts say
it will take years, perhaps 80, really
to disarm Europe. They will be
content if they can remove the
threat of war and thereby calm Eur
ope IS fears and hates to point
where gradual disarmament can be
be0un some years hence.
The immediate work of the COM
mission is expected to be the crea-
tion of special body to work out
security plainly which nations
can be guaranteed against attack.
That will involve almost certain
ly an agreement by which nations
would pledge themselves to jointly
make war on any nation that at
tackled another.
