BAKER BACKS
PEACE AIMS Of
LEAGUE GROUP
Supports Petition Urging
Changes in Covenant
Agreeable to u. S.

By Times Special
NEW YORK, April 11.-Expres-
sion of opinion by the American
people on the questions of relation
ship of the United States to the
league of nations and revision of
the league covenant is declared to
be Of the highest Importance by
Newton D. Baker, in a statement re-
leased today by the League of Ma
tons Association.
The former war secretary has no
doubt that the world at this mo-
ment is drifting rapidly into COM
pc;itive ornaments Another dis
aStrous world war will be the in
eyitable result if this drift continues.
he believes. But AN expression of
cooperation from the United States
may turn the balance
Revision of the league covenant
is cited by Mr.. Baker as a possible
way OF improving modern peace ma
chinery.
His statement is made in connec-
ton with a petition being circulated
throughout the United States by
some twenty peace organizations,
urging that terms be stated under
which full membership of the
United States in the league would
be possible.
Guide to Administration
Having signed it, Mr.. Baker ex-
plains that the petition does not
seek to coerce the action of our
government. I'VE sign" he said.
Ito let the administration know
that it can rely upon the united
support of millions of Americans
when it finds opportunity to asSo-
ciate America with those who are
seeking to coordinate the modern
peace machinery and improve it by
revision of the covenant so that 1t
will be effective to prevent ali in
ternational calamity from which we,
with the rest of mankind, must
suffer unpredictable griefs."
Mr.. Bakers statement follows:
There can be no doubt that the
rapidly into competitive ornaments
to be used for nationaliStic pur-
poses. If this drift continues, an
other disastrous world war will in
evitably result. Statesmen can only
respond to what they believe to be
the opinion and desire of the peo-
pie of the countries which they
serve. 1t is, therefore, of the high
est Importance that informal ex-
preSsions of opinion be made. like
the one initiated by the League of
Nations Association urging that the
United States state the terms under
which American membership in the
league would be possible, so that our
government, representing great
people and a great nation, can act
with full knowledge of what the
people of the United States want
their government to do.
Forces in Head-On Conflict
Throughout the world the forces
of law, justice and peace are in a
head-on collision with the forces of
distrust, suspicion, fear and agrees
sion which make for war. An ex-
preston of cooperation from the
United States may turn the balance.
This petition does not seek to
coerce the action of our government,
nor Go those who sign it fail to rec
ognize the tremendous burdens the
President and his associates are
carrying in the readjustment of our
domestic affairs.
THE more signatures there are to
this petition, the more definite the
expression it makes and the stronger
the hand of the President"

Developments in streamline de-
sign that have so completely domi-
mated transportation construction
this year are reflected in the new
fleet of 123 buses delivered to the
Greyhound Lines in answer to in
creased travel throughout the
country.
The new motor coaches, a fleet
of which will soon be placed in
operation over western highways
by Pacific Greyhound Lines, are
declared to represent the finest in
modern bus design. While the
streamline body does not appear to
be a radical departure from general
trends, it is nodded so that every
lines flows easily from radiator to
panel fairings.
The streamline bus has an over
all length of 35 feet and a Wheel
base of $50 inches. 1t is powered
by General Motors six cylinder
overhead valve engine that is of
entirely dual design. Dual ignition,
fuel pump, fan belts, spark plugs
and carburetor that operate either
together or independent of each
other insure dependable highway
performance.
The introduction of extra long
springs together with new efficient
shock absorbers is guarantee of
unusual riding comfort. Seating
arrangements are for SO passen-
gers and the driver. The chairs
are designed to recline to positions
for relaxation or observation.

clared the new buses would sub

coaches represent the combination
of features that have been tested

miles together with the latest de-
velopments in modern bus design"
