Nearing Will Discuss
League Meet in Talk
on Europe Today"

"The action of Lord Cushendun,
the British delegate to the Geneva
League of Nations, who attacked
the total disarmament plan submitted
by Maxim Litvinov on behalf of the
u. S. S. r. and the action of the
League in shelving instead of analyz-
ing the Soviet proposal, clearly points
to the fact that the hatred of the
imperialist powers has crystalized
into plans for war on the Soviet
Union," said Scott Nearing yesterday.
"Tbis was inevitably due to the sharp
economic conflicts between the vari-
Gus imperialist powers"
