.ANT|-WAR FARLEY
WILL Be ARRANGED
Chairman of Meeting Here
Next Week Will Give
Luncheon Tomorrow.

Representatives of IL organizations
will convene here next week for the
annual conference on the Cause and
Cure of War, arrangement for which
will be made tomorrow when Mrs. Car
RE Chapman Gait, conference chair
man, confers with local chairmen head
ed by Mrs. William L. Darby. Mrs.
Gait will be hostess at luncheon.
Sessions of the conference will be
held at the Hotel Washington begin
ming Monday and continuing through
Thursday.
The competition of the war systems
of nations, Mrs. Gait declared today, Is
the one cause of war and the denobili-
cation of the war institution is its one
cure.
I'm the first Cause and Cure of War
conference, in 1925" Mrs. Gait said,
"257 causes of actual wars were listed,
condition wellnigh overwhelming
Subsequent conferences brought unex-
,pected but more optimistic facts. No
sensible person now believes that mod
ern wars have causes; every one knows
that instead they have excuses.
Women who have been sitting in
these past five conferences have learned
three things and learned them well
First. the 257 causes of war have been
reduced to /, the competition Of the
war systems of nations. That caused
the World War and will cause the next
war, if there is one. Second, all possible
cures of war have likewise been reduced
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-01-16

to one-the rehabilitation OF the war
institution, not by ruthless destruction,
but, bit by bit, as fast and as far as Il
may be replaced on q well constructed
successfully operating peace institution
War, then, is reduced to one cause, one
cure. Third, the women have learned
that the work yet to be accomplished
before there will be a warless world is
the rehabilitation of the war system
and the mobilization of a substituted
peace system"
The assisting vice chairmen, repre-
sentative of the IL participating organi-
cations in the conference, are Mrs. Clara
Wright Smith, Mrs. T. E. Brown, Mrs.
T. j. Howerton, Mrs. Harvey c. Irwin,

Meet to Discuss Proposed
Freight Boosts.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Vital
questions awaited solution at the
meeting of the committee appointed
by the eastern railroad presidents
conference to ask the interstate
commerce commission for permission
to raise freight rates.
An important announcement was
expected after the meeting.
One problem on which a decision
is expected is that of just how
much additional revenue the roads
must have and what rate increases
will produce that amount of
revenue.
An increase in rates between
certain cities, it was pointed out in
informal discussions would divert
to trucks, steamships and barges. A
minority was represented as feeling
that in view of truck competition
and protests from shippers against
the proposed increases, it would be
best to let matters slide for a while.
