Women at the anal meeting this
season, held yesterday ct the May
flower Hotel.
This campaign must be de-
termined by our foreign policy" said
Mr.. Fish, "and the Republicans must
write = peace plank into their pro-
gram"
Asserting that . campaign had
already been started to break down
the johnson Act to permit loans to
foreign nations who still owe US
millions of dollars" Mr. Fish en-
phasized his conviction that COM
plete isolation was the only hope for
Amreica keeping out Of the war
and that aggression would be the
only reason for this country sacrifice
ing its peace.

the New Yorker continued, but q

powerful and rich," believe that
loans should be made to the countries
at war. Accusing "every Washington
