Finds Europe Changed
Mrs. Georgette Ross Howard Would
'Whoop Up Democracy for Youth.
HOURING Europe this summer

TOUR1NG Europe this summer
convinced Mrs. Georgette Ross
Howard. Washington lecturer
L and club woman, of a need in
this country Of some program for
"whopping up democracy" as she puts
it, for American young people,.
A trip in which she Travelled with a
group Of 10 girls through 10 countries
in six weeks left many new impress
sions OF changing Europe.
But there's one thing I can't
forget" she said. How enthusiastic
ally the youth in the dictator countries
are accepting their leaders. who are,
Of course, making life very exciting
for them at the moment In Ger
many" she continued, the older
people may be miserable. but youth
is all for Hitler. In Italy. regimen
tation Is not so pronounced as in
Germany, but Mussolini, too, is making
play for youth.
Now here at home We find our
youngsters nlase about public affairs
and we ought to do something about
it."
Previous summer trips abroad have
given Mrs. Howard a basis for COM
parison and she found many changes
this summer.
Vienna she called "the saddest city
now you've ever seen. Children are
marching in the streets and swastikas
are everywhere" she said The old
Incidence and charm is gone"
With Jews forbidden to enter cafes
and amusement places Of every sort,
she found the theaters and the famous
old coffee houses practically deserted.
A change has even come over the
afternoon concerts in the city park,
she said. "One Of my girls made
special request for a number by
Fritz Kreisler." she reported. "and
the orchestra stopped while the leader
came down to make an explanation.
Fritz Kreisler is a jew he told us,
and all music by Jews is forbidden!'
While she supervised hospital ar
rangements for an appendicitis op-
GRAFTON another Of her party was
forced to undergo in Budapest, Mrs.
Howard talked with many Hungarians
and found them without hope for
the future Of their country. Many
said they were studying English, look
ing toward the day when they may
be able to come to the United States
to live" she said
German children, however, appeared
extremely healthy. radios were every

all at work. There weren't any beg

Study Of World Affairs
To Be Resumed Shortly.
Mrs. Lorenz, chairman of the
leagues department of government and
foreign policy, stated yesterday that
groups which meet twice a month to
study world affairs will begin activities
In about two weeks American For
eign Policy will be one of the sub
tects this year and in its campaign
policy program of the organization a
number of group meetings will be
held throughout the year under her
direction
The local group follows out the pro-
gram Of the national body on foreign
policy and is awaiting with interest a
booklet soon to be issued under the
title. Every League Member Should
Know"
At its 1887 convention. the national
organization voted in favor of amend
ment of the Neutrality Act of 1888
to provide, at the discretion of the
President, embargoes on essential war
materials and to provide for applica-
ton of all embargoes in cooperation
with other signatories against those
belligerent nations which have vio-
lated treaties to which the United
States is a signatory.
The national organization also
favors implementation of the pact
OF Paris
It is the leagues belief. Mrs. Lorenz
pointed out, that teeth would be put
in this pact by provision for auto
matte consultation between signato-
ries as problems arise and by provision
for the use of concerted discrimina-
tory action, such as sanctions, against
violators
On general questions of foreign
policy the league stands for partici-
patton in efforts to establish collec-
tive peace system. Points under this
include membership of the United
States in the World Court and the
League of Nations and more active
cooperation in the international
Labor Organization.
The policy of the national league
Is constantly before the District organ
ization as a period for current topics
is regularly set aside at every semi
monthly meeting. At this time cur
rent news is discussed with reference
to the leagues policy and an effort
is made to interpret the organizations
position on the latest developments.
