WORLD PROBLEMS
 BALK PEACE PLAN
EI-Disarmamtnt Chief States
 His Views

New York, Jan. LR) - Perma- nent disarma ment depends upon the solution of the problem of estab- fishing system of law and order ill the international world. Salvador Do Madariaga. former chief Of the disa armament section Of the league of nations secretariat, said last night.
 Much depends on the elimina- ton of number of ialIacies which hinder the attainment of the right solution of the problem" he told the League of Nations Non- pa rtisan association at its annual dinner "As an example of such faliacies. not always the same ill the different countries concerned. may be noted the solution consisting in entrusting the peace of the world to the Brit ish navy or 10 an Anleo-SaNon al- powers; the theory of American non n-entanglement: the hankerings for the humanization of war: the i outlawry of war theory"
 George W. Wickersham. attorney general in the cabinet of President Taft, voiced the opinion that th. people of the United States will come to demand active membership of the nation in the league of na- tions. although he said there was
 little hope that such action would soon be taken. He voiced his opti-

 Cross examined by Judge Mansan. Mrs. Polen1 admitted that she has accepted money from the two chil- dren who are employed. She denied that there was any foundation for her husband's reference to certain actions with man named George. She admitted that she had objected to allowing her husband to have . private interview with their daugh- ter in Holyoke. but she said he was welcome to visit the children in their home. Instead of doing so. he sent children and other messengers into the couse to call the children out onto the street.
 Polenz denied that he had refused to support his family. The reason he sent messengers for his children when he went to Holyoke was that he feared to enter the house. II might get killed" he said. Asked by the prosecuting attorney his rca- sons for his fears. Polenz replied that his wife's brother had been in jail for seven months, whereupon Mir. Woods objected to allowing him to go into details.
 Summing up the states case, Mir. Woods declared that PolenzS actions at home were so base they could not be described in court. If he had the brains Of snail he would not have sent messengers into the house 10 call out his children" Mr. Woods said. "There Is no question that this court has jurisdiction" He asked that Polenz be ordered to support his children for year but Judge SaNc made it six months.

 Up Family, Wife Dtcl,rs

When Mrs. Adolph Polenz of Hoiyoke. Mass. formerly of New Britain, took her four children from Connecticut to Massachusetts she vi- plated the law and could be prose euted on the charge of Kidnapping. Judge W.F Mangan declared in po- lice court today in his defense Of Folenz, aged 54, of 1lO Rockwell avenue. who was charged with non support. Despite the provisions of Connecticut statutes that the father Is entitled to the earnings of his children until they attain the age of 70 years. Mrs. Polenz, according to her own testimony, is receiving s19 week from one of her children and $l5 a week from another, yet she re- fused 10 permit her husband to have private talk with his own daughter for five minutes in Holyoke recent ly, Judge Mangan said. He declared that the case was typical of many that have come to the attention of the courts recently. in which wives fire of living with their husbands when the latter become 30 years old or 50. and packing up their belong inss. move into another city or state and expect the husband 10 continue to be their meal ticket"
 Judge Sake held that the two chil- drcn for whom Mrs. Polenz asked sS a week from her husband must be imported by their father. The chill lren are II and 8 years of age, re- spectively, and until December 1 5. 1927, Mrs. Polenz received $S weekly for them as her husband was under order Of the local court to make the payment. When Mrs. Polenz left her husband and continued to live apart from him. she forfeited her right to support, Judge Saxe said. but the children must be supported. He passed au order that Polenz pay IS . week towards the support of tho two children. under a bond of $500, with a 80 days jail sentence in de- fault of the bond. Judge Mangan gave notice of an appeal to superior court.
 Tn support Of his claim that the local court lacked jurisdicti be- eause Polenz had not neglected or refused to support his children in New Britain, Judge Mangan con- tended that the original order that payment Of SS weekly be made was not sound. The husband makes the domicile and the wife must live in it provided she is properly treated, and in this case. Polenz never failed to provide a home and support his de- pendcnts. Mrs.s Polenz left, taking he children and most Of the furni- ture, and went out of the state. The law does not intend that the wife shall have all the rights and the husband none, Judge Mangan said.
 Mrs. Poiens testified that throughout her married life. she was obliged to work to support her self and the children. Her husband was mean" to her-and she repeat ediy warned him that she did not propose to tolerate hi. actions in- definitely, she said. The last time she warned him he indicated in em- pnatic terms that she could do as she pleased. 70 she waited until he was at work and then she took her
