Of commissioners, the leans used
in bringing about the unusual
spirit Of alacrity on thu pa..SS Of the
governors, might be of interest
to lawyers.
Naturally, public demand had
something to do with the strange
and unusual development. The
general public wanted moderniZa-
ton loans on their homes in those
States and tn wanted insured
long-term mortgages when they
financed their homes. They = re
unable to obtain these mortgages
because of the lack [: aification
Of their laws as regarded exemp.
tio- under the constitutions, peri
DDS of grade and redemption, to
say nothing of the laws affecting
lending agencies themselves.
But the public would never
have known of the availability of
the benefits of FILA had it not
been for the intensive informa-
tion campaign that has been con-
Quoted by that organization since
it started functioning.
Real estate laws are not the
only ones that need revising and
the revision is needed in the Dis
trict of Columbia as well as other
Jurisdictions.
The District Bar Association
took a step in the right direction
with its radio programs every
Sunday night and Howard s. Le-
roy's committee is just now get
ting its reaction to the work.
The original idea was to edu'
cate the public to the needed re.
forms and let the public aid the
bar in bringing them about. In
all quarters are heard expressions
of the hope that the work Of the
radio committee or similar COM
mittee will continue.

BY MARY PADGETT

Speaking before the annual
meeting of the Board Of Direc-
tors of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, at last
nights session in the national
headquarters. Senator Gerald P.
Nye, of North Dakota, chair
man of the special committee
investigating the munitions in
duStry, declared:
"Our American budget for
preparedness today is three
times as much as it was just
prior to our entry into the
World War. Yet we have .
preparedness which Is no more
than we had in 1918. Our Sc
curity Is no greater with the
larger and more costly national
defense today than before the
war. The why Of this is to be
found in the fact that our pro-
viding of larger measure Of ma
tiOnal defense only invites
larger so-caIled preparedness on
the part Of those nations
against whom we prepare.
Civilization never has known
such naval competition as is on
the way between the United
States and Japan today. This
race has as its unconscious
toast: TO the health and profit
of those who make and sell
weapons Of preparedness. !"
And in response to this toast,
we pour out billions, even in
hours when the balancing Of
governmental budgets is diff
cult If not impossible Of accom-
pliShment.
"The destruction of the profit
motive in war and prepared.
ness for it may not end war.
But it will remove q very posi-.
tive and very large danger Of
more war"
The board of directors which
has gathered in Washington
from every State in the Union
to attend this four-day gather.
ing adjourned at noon today.
william T. Stone, vice presi'
dent and Washington repre-
sentative of the Foreign Policy
Association. was one of the prin'
cipal speakers today. He was

Mullen, of New York city, is
chairman.
Another speaker today was
Alfred L. Tennyson, Of the Fed.
eral Bureau of Narcotics, who
was presented on the program

Welfare.
Talking about the pure Food
legislation" before the meet
in yesterday, Mrs. Harvey w.
Wiley, president of the D. C.

said:
MANY common food mix.
lures sell at exOrbitantIy high
prices simply by cOncealing
their identity. If this alterna-
tive provision on food could be
deleted it would stop such
frauds. And in the case Of
drugs in particular it Is very
questionable whether this alter.
native provision Is wise. Where
potent substances are involved
it is the privilege Of the buyer
to know what he is getting"
