Three Noted Women Urge
Emphasis on j. 5. Problems

Reaffirmation of this comtry's
determination to stay out OF foreign
wars and broadening OF the ad-
ministration's liberal program on
the domestic front are planks three
prominent women would put IN the
1910 Democratic platform.
The three women, Mrs. Mary
Beard, co-author of america IN
Mid-P assage" and "The Rise OF
American Civilization" Representa-
tive ODay of New York and Miss
Constance Rourke, author OF "Au-
dubon," give their views on platform
policies in the March issue OF the
Democratic Digest.
America, says Mrs. Beard, writing
as an independent voter. should
settle its own problems before trying
to settle those Of other nations. An
immediate goal, she said, should be
full employment.
Upon the successful graphing
with this issue nearly everything
else will turn, especially reduction
in relief expenditures and increase
in tax revenue" she writes.
Representative ODay favors max
ing every effort to bring peace and
sterilization to the world without
being drawn into European war.
America, she says, must be willing
to make ANY economic sacrifice"
to remain at peace.
A permanent relief program, Fed
orally administered, is proposed by
Miss Rourke as q 1910 platform
plank. She also advocates Ameri-
can participation in measures short

Nurse Testified to Threat.
The State had charged the physi-

tended the entire case grew out of

GENEVA, March 1.-THE refu-
gee anti-Soviet governments" Of
the three trans Caucasian States Of
Georgia, Azerbaijap and Armenia
are becoming increasingly confident
that Great Britain and France, by
striking at the rich Russian oil
fields and manganese deposits there,
will free" their homelands.
For almost 20 years absentee ma
6onal governments" have been
maintained by Georgian. Azerbaijan
and Armenian refugees, and now
they feel their days of waiting are
over. that with allied assistance they
will seize the regions now grouped
in the Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics as autonomous states.
Rebirth Meeting Held.
Kama Chavichvily. a Georgian
delegate at Geneva since 1921, told
the Associated Press today the Geor-
gian Nationalist government held a
secret "rebirth" meeting in Paris last
Thursday. Elected Premier" was
Euythyme Takaichvili, former vice
president of the Georgian Constitu-
ent Assembly, who said:
I'VE have reason to believe that
we may soon get allied support"
The leaders Of the exiled govern
ments say they believe the develop
ments of the European war soon will
force Great Britain and France into
action against Russia. In that event
It is their belief that the first easy
grab for nearly 100000 allied troops
already in the Near East would be
Georgia's manganese mines. Ar
menia's rich industrial areas and
Azerbaijan's oil fields between the
Black and Caspian Seas on the from
tier of Turkey-a acknowledgement
ally of Britain and France.
Hope for Part in War.
The League of Nations and many
governments recognized the Soviet
administration of the three states
only when Russia entered the
League. Now that Russia has been
expelled for her invasion Of Fin
land, the trans s-Caucasian refugees
have high hopes that they will play
q part in the war.
They say they have several thou
sand men recognizing their absentee
authority now serving in Gen.
Maxine Weygand's French Army IN
the Near East.
The Armenian and Azerbaijan
Nationalists have been as active as
the Georgians. Gen. Archague Tor
com, who toured the United States
to plead Armenian independence
after the World War, is now absent
