ASCURE FOR WAR
Dr.. PergIer Tells Students
Conference Plan May Pre-
vent Open Conflict.

Intervention in the affairs Of a ma
ion by other powers was suggested as
an alternative to war. when all peace
Yul measures have failed, by DR.. Charles
Pergler. dean of the National University
School of Economics and Government
who delivered the opening address this
morning at the all-college student con-
ference at Hurst Hall on the American
University campus. The purpose OF the
conference is to permit a discussion by
prominent speakers and members OF the
student bodies OF colleges and uniyer-
stiles Of Washington Of preSent-day ma.
tional and international questions and
problems OF student life.
The problem Of duties Of nations
cannot very we'll be diSaSSociated from
the question OF their enforcement" said
DR.. Pergler who was formerly Minister
from Czechosloyakia to the United
States. THE Havana conference show
ed this abundantly. When all peaceful
measures have failed, what is TO be
done? War. of course, Is the last re-
sort. Intervention. however. may be 8
method of enforcement and 1t Is TO be
preferred to war. II for no other reason
than because II Is limited in purpose
and extent. Apart from the great de-
struction of life and property, 1t does
not bring the drastic consequences &C
companying war.
DR. Pergler said he did not regarc
an international state as desirable, and
that persons who know political con-
ditions in this country mast reconcile
themselves for the present 10 the con-
viction that the United States viii not
enter the League of Nations.
Sessions Of the conference are sched-
uled for this afternoon. tonight and
tomorrow morning. The rrincipa,
speaker on the program this afternoon

FLOOD BILL DEBATE
DEFERRED IN HOUSE
TllSon Says Action Is to Pave
Way for Further "Study"
of Measure.
By The Associated Preas.

By the Associated Press.
Without vote and with but little
debate, the House today temporarily de-
ferred consideration Of the Senate hood
control bill after Representative Tflson
Of Connecticut. Republican floor leader.
had explained that this was desired 70
enable study" Of the measure.
This unusual procedure-the shuntinz
aside Of major piece of Iegislation-was
resorted TO so that time could be had 20
adjust differences between advocates Of
the bill as It passed the Senate and
Presi Coolidge.
Tilson did not tell the House when
consideration Of the food bill was 70
be resumed, but 1t was thought likely
that the postponement will continue
until compromise conversations have
been completed.
Hindrance Is Seen
Tilson said it was his opinion that
consideration Of the bill on the House
floor at the present would retard rather
than expedite successful action.
He added that as yet ne had received
no word from President Coolidge re-
garding the compromise discussed a.
the White House late yesterday. but
indicated that ne was hopeful son1e
expression would be forthcoming.
Chairman Reid Of the food control
committee, who Is plotting the b!II
through the House, refused 70 discuss
whether the compromise revisfons Of TIE
measure were acceptable TO him.
The principal revisions are:
That the States should furnish the
rights OF way for the levees on the rnafn
or Mississippi River. The bill tr its
present form places that burden uoon
the Federal Government.
Elimination Of the provision IN the
measure making the Federal Govern
| ment liable for damages to the railroads
In the area through which hoodwavs
would be constructed.
Would Decrease Personnel
Decreasing the number Of the uro-
poSeo HOOD project planning board from
nye 70 three members. This would
eliminate the Secretary Of War and one
civilian, leaving the chief Of Army on
gineers. the president Of the Mississippi
River Commission and one civilian
The major modification of the bfrl-
the furnishing Of the main river leyse
rights OF way by the Ststes-embodies
the principle Of local eontributious
which the President has stressed in his
views on the food problem.
But the administration contention
that the States, instead Of the Federal
| Government. should furnish the Iard
Tor the hoOdways, apparently has been
| abandoned in the revision negotiations
/ The bill's opponents have claimed
| that the floodways' land purchase would
cost the Government between $3.50. 600
goo and $500, 100000. The cost OF the
levee rights OF way is estimated az o1iv
/ $500 GOO.
| Should the President approve the
| changes. the administration leaders see
little 70 halt the bin In its progress
through the amendment channel and
| toward a final vote.
