WINTER RELIEF
PLEA IS MADE
Mrs. Roosevelt Urges Wo-
men of America to Unite
in Cause
By HARRISON SALISBURY
lifted Press Staff Correspondent

L
CHICAGO. Oct. 31.-(UP).-
The nations first lady lent her
support last night to a movement
to marshal the women of Amerl-
ca IN the cause of relieving the
wants of the needy this winter.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
came here to direct mobilization
of all the women of her country
in order that sufficient charity
funds may be supplied all COM
munities. She was chairman of a
meeting called in behalf Of the
1888 mobilization for human
needs.
Mrs. Roosevelt's plea was
strengthened by equally urgent
messages delivered by Newton D.
Baker. chairman of the mobol!-
cation group; Jane Adams. vet
eran social worker, and Harry
Hopkin, federal relief admins
traitor.
To gain a comprehensive pic
ture of the national relief sltua-
ton, state and local charity drive
chairmen from "A states were
present. They are faced with
the task of raising S55, 100000
in community fund projects IN
the next few weeks.
Upon her fellow-women, Mrs.
Roosevelt placed the task Of see
ing that communities are made
conscious of charity needs and
that tax raised relief funds are
properly administered.
1T is primarily the job of wo-
men to educate governments and
people to their responsibility IN
relief" said Mrs. Roosevelt. $50
many people feel that their gov
eminent will do all these things.
The government will do all it
can, but I find government
agencies need the strengthening
knowledge which can be supplied
only by the communities. y"
She pointed out that a great
percentage of relief moneys are
appropriated by legislative bodies.
If appropriations are inadequate
or unwisely allocated, women
should see that adjustments are
made Mrs. Roosevelt said.

to disarmament"
Neither Davis nor other leading
members in the American arms
delegation would discuss the pos
sibility that his departure meant
the United States was prepared
to withdraw from the arms par
lev. Davis said that the date OF
his return was uncertain. He add
ed that he definitely expected to
return after his White House con-
versations, but in view of grow
ing irritation in American quar-
tiers at the recurreUt delays
among European powers to agree
to any practical arms limitation
or control scheme there were ru-
mors that he was through at Cen
eva for the time being.
Davis was reported to have let
it be known that he had no INTEL
ton of returning until the arms
conference was ready Ito get
down to business.
1t was recalled that when Davis
returned from the United States
, some weeks ago. to confer in Lon
don and Paris prior to the recon
vening of the arms parley III Gen.
eva ne had warned the European
powers that Mr.. Roosevelt was
not inclined to continue partlcl-
nation in futile gatherings.
1t was hoped then that this
urge would result in the start. az
! least of the final drafting of an
arms limitation or control con-
vent;on. However, Germany WITH
drew from the parleys while they
were still in the committee stage,
and the conference met a few
hours one day only to adjourn
until October 20 and then met
again to adjourn until December
4-the date now set for recon-
vening.
This procedure met with re-
newed pressure by Davis and the
Americans generally to force &C
ton Immediately after the Ge2-
man elections on November II,
but he failed and is returning to
Washington to explain why to MIR.
Roosevelt.
Davis probably will sail on
board the liner Roosevelt from
LIE Havre. France, on November
4. Hugh Wilson will remain to
represent the United States in his
absence.
In some quarters it was be-
lieved that Davis return to Wash
ington was connected with Japan S
/ announced policy of waiting "oa
the sidelines" until the arms stu
alton crystalizes. 1t is considered
certain that he will discuss with
Mr.. Roosevelt what positions the
] United States will take if Japar
refuses to accept the arms treaty
after it is drafted, particularly
the control clause.
This clause, still tentative,
would place all ornaments under
test period of three or four
years during which the league Of
Nations would name a commission
to inspect every signatory's anna
ments-naval. land and alr-at
least twice a year.
