.PACIFIST MOVES
HOTLY OPPOSED
BY GOVERNMENT
War Department Refuses to
Curb Fight on Women'S
Activities.

By scYfpps-HoUdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Follow-
ing closely on three official rebukes
TO pacifsm by the federal govern
ment, it became known today that
the war department actively is
fighting peace movements in all
parts Of the country.
Officers of the Women's Interna-
tional League for Peace and Free
dom, who called at the war depart
ment late Thursday to protest the
activity Of army officers in opposi-
ton to their work, were told that
army policies would not be modified.
The women protested two things;
first, that army officers have warned
citizens in various communities to
stay away from the leagues peace
meetings because they we're "radi-
cal" and "conmunistic," and sec
ond, that the war department has
referred inquiries about the league
to the D. A. r. which blacklisted
the league some years ago as a
dangerous" organization.
Protest Is Filed
Mrs. Hannah Clothier Hull of
Swarthnore, Pa, chairman of the
board Of the league, and Miss Dor
othy Deter, formerly Of TT. Wayne,
Ind, its executive secretary, laid
the protest before Assistant Secre-
tary Of War Frederick H. Payne and
Major General George Van Horn
Mosely, deputy chief Of staff.
They told the officials that sew
eral weeks ago one of the league
workers attempted to organize a
peace meeting in Lancaster, Pa, and
discovered that persons whom they
could not identify were spreading
word that the league was commun-
1stic and that its meeting should not
be attended.
The two officials of the league
then told Of second recent occur
renee, in Albuquerque, N. M, where
local reserve officers warned a
clergyman and various clubwonen
not to take part in a peace meeting
being organized by the league. The
reserve officers also charged that
members Of the league, Including
Jane Addams, we're radical and
"communistic."
Express No Approval
Payne and Mosely, while disclaina-
ing responsibility for the reservists'
action, expressed no disapproval
Of it.
The day before the leagues pro-
test was made, General Douglas
Macarthur, President Hoover's per-
sonal appointee as chief of staff,
scathingly denounced 1905 clergy
men who had declared in respond
Ing to a QUESTIONABLE, that they
would refuse to sanction or sup
port war in the future.
On the same day, President Hoo
YER made public letter he sent
to Secretary Of War Hurley con-
graduating him on the recent air
maneuvers which peace groups had
vigorously opposed.
A week earlier, the United States
supreme court, by q 5 to vote,
decided that persons refusing on
religious or conscientious grounds
to bear arms, may not become citi-
Gems Of this country.

NEW YORK, November 26.-Dino
Grand paused in a day of relaxation
and sightseeing yesterday to declare
with a proud smile and in emphatic
words that italy needs no foreign loan;

Twenty reporters had gathered
around the black-bearded foreign min

suite that was studded with vases of
chrysanthemums and roses.
Replies to Question.
Some one asked If he had discussed
q loan from American interests with j.
p. Morgan, Thomas Lamont and other
noted bankers with whom he had
luncheon Tuesday.
Pencils came out as the young diplo-
mat, attired in morning clothes, squared
his shoulders and began speaking in
perfect English weighing each word and
emphasizing each one as he uttered it.
Gentlemen" he began, Il would have
you remember that some months ago
my chief, Mussolini, as head of the
government, asked for an internal loan
that is the right word is it not?-
asked for an internal loan from Italian
people for internal needs.
He asked three and one-half billion
lire and the Italian people subscribed
seven billions. Now that will give you
an idea of the confidence in our
country"
He explained the surplus had been
turned back to the subscribers, then
he added:
so there was no question of loan
at the luncheon yesterday Italy needs
, none. Our internal condition Is so
strong we are perfectly sure OF our
selves"
He took the opportunity of emphasize
ing, as he has on other occasions, that
his conferences in Washington were
highly successful, another step toward
the goal set by previous international
gatherings"

Signora Grandi went shopping during
the morning and remained in her hotel
suite for luncheon. Among her pur--
chaSeS were toy tank for her son and
q doll for her daughter.
The only time reporters have seen
the foreign minister gesticulate In the
Latin manner was when he was telling
how he had evaded for time yester-
day the heavy police guard that has
surrounded him since his arrival in
New York. He was on his way to the
home of Mr.. Lamont for luncheon. The
guard did not catch up with him until
he was ready to start back.

Late in the day the foreign minister
saw New York from the top of the
