OUTLAWING OF WAR HAS PAST VISION STAGE League of Women Voters May Make Discussion Convention Item. BY CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON. April IS.—“lf I catch the conscience of America, we’ll lead the .world to outlaw war." said Senator Hardline on Sept 4, 19-0. Then as if in sequel to that thought, the President’s keynote conference address, Nor. 12. 1921 t “Contemplating the measureless cost of war and the continuing burden of armament. all thoughtful peoples wish for real limitations of armament and would like war outlawed.” In a Senate speech on May 5. 1929, the late Senator Knox of Pennsylvania planted the same idea; “• * * initiate an international conference • • * to formulate * * * an arrangement * * * providing for the outlawry of war.” It seems fifing that the seeds thus planted should be ready to sprout at this Easter period. The plan proposed to make war illegal jusr as individual murder is considered illegal between individuals is in something more than a visionary stage. In effect ,-n outline for a conference of nations looking toward the codification of international law is now Senate document 115. It was presented by Senator Borah on Jan. 19, 1922 and ordered to be printed. It Is a twelve page pamphlet signed by Faimon O. Levinson, a lawyer of Chicago who states that the plan was formulated in 1915 by the late Senator Kaoi and the author. Its present interest is *n the fact that It will prnbabiy be one of the big features of the League of Women Voters convention which opens in Baltimore, April 24. Immediately following the threeda v Pan-American conference. Here let It be Aid that the plan has no bearing on the present effort in Congress for the reduction of the Army and the Navy. Miss Elizabeth .1. Hauser, chairman of k-he leagm V committee for the reduction "of armament by international agreement makes this exclusive statement about her plans. "There will be a conference of my committee dosed to the public, at which Sirs. Wililam palmer Lucas. Miss Jane Addams. Mrs. Cart and perhaps latdy Astor wiil discuss the theory of illegaliziug war. T shall urge as the fundamental thing a declaration of the league, through the convention, in favor of abolishing war as an institution for the settlement of Internationa! dispute. This ;s the beginning. This is laying t’qe ax to the root of the evil tree, whereas to take action on methods of warfare, like poison gas, the submarine, etc., is merely trimming the branches. “The first strp is to have the civilized nations of the world come together in a conference an.l outlaw war. Make war a crime, as murder has been made a crime, as dueling has been made 'i crime; define it and define the punishment for the violation." Miss Hauser then explains how she and her committee which includes as members Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird and Mrs. Malcolm Forbes of Massachusetts, Mrs. .T. Borden Harrimon of New Vork and Washington. Mrs. William Palmer Lucas of San Francisco. Miss Katharine Ludington of Lyme. Conn., and Mr. James W. Morrison of t’hicago. came to be interested In the idea of outlawing war like this: Following the national convention in Cleveland last year. Judge Florence F. Allen wrote to several influential women proposing something of the idea suggested above. No action was taken and most people forgot, about if. Along in mid-summer Mr. S. ft. Levinson presented Mr Jj mes W. Morrison, in <'hire a go. a ttee'.s en • The Outlawry of War,” which had been prepared by himself and the late Senator Knox. Mrs. Morrison sent the paper to Miss Hauser, chairman of the committee who recognized it as something of the same nature about which Judge Alice had been talking earlier. She sent it to her, who pronounced it O. K , from the standpoint of soundness as to legal principles It seems that Judge Alien has specialized on international law. After Mr. Levinson’s brief was printed, it was sent to each State president of the league for study before the convention. Now It Is a Senate document and is being distributed very widely. All types of persons seem to be Intrigued by this plan. For instance lllegallzlng war by International agreement was suggested by Captain Luke MeNames. chief of the t’uited States

Naval Intelligence Service In an address before the National Council for the Reduction of Armaments on April 4. Whether the League of Women Voters and other national organizations of women holding conventions in the next few weeks will subscribe to this idea remains to be seen. But anyhow, the preservation and glorification of human life seems to be a fitting topic of discussion at this Easter period.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. Will Force Record on Big Navy Bill WASHINGTON, April 18.—House republican leaders opposed to a treaty navy are determined to make the size of the Navy a political issue. In order to get every Republican member In favor of a navy as recommended by President Harding, they will force a record vote before tbe bill is passed by the House.

Ordinarily she should wear the single mesh, for if it is chosen to match her hair it will be much less visible and effect a more perfect coiffure.

Germany has plenty to sell—witness her tremendous business activities in America at the present moment —but is hardly able to finance Russia on any considerable scale. If her whines that she cannot meet reparation obligations nre well founded, the United States Government does not envisage Germany as a very effective or dangerous economic factor in Russia. She may become so later, and eventually is certain to do so, for Germany’s economic recovery is proceeding at a pace the outside world does aot realize. At the moment, our diplomatic leaders see little to worry over In the German-RussiaD treaty. When the soviet delegation passed through Berlin, en route to Genoa in March, newspaper correspondents asked Pr. Walther Rathenau. German foreign minister, if theie were any secret understanding between Berlin and Moscow. Rathenau declined to shed light on that score. Today’s news turns it on. GERMANY GETS N ON GROUND FLOOR.

No one acquainted with the program of the present Gerr. an government which in contradistinction to the military policy of Imperial Germany, Is one of commercial conquest. misunderstands the meaning o fthe Kathenau-Tchlcnerln deal.

Germany—the Germany of Rathenau, Siinnes, Tbvsseu, Gwinner, Helneken. Cuno and the other business giants of pre war times—always was determined to become tbe economic master of Russia.

prlvato business enterprise—the vast German general electric company had its tentacles all over the empire of the czar. No man in Europe, not even in Russia itself, today knows its economic possibilities as thoroughly as the banker-engineer-philosopher-statesman, Rathenau. who signed for Germany with Tchicherln, at Genoa. Unless all signs fail the world will not need to wait long to see the real dimensions of the march Germany has stolen. It may be that Rathenau and Tchicherln mean to anticipate the long-mooted Genoa program to make Germany the “mandatory” of Europe In the exploitation of Russia. Now it is Germany that can dictnte terms instead, of blandly having to aeept thorn from her “oppressors."—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. FRAXCE STA YS~ IX CONFERENCE PARIS.

At the moment the chief interest of the State is the projected Colombia Basin irrigaiion project to reclaim 1,753,000 acres. This represents about three-fourths of the total irrigable land within the State not now irrigated. The State is making the preliminary surveys and Investiga. tion, but. presently the project will appear in Washington for Federal aid and sustenance. The way affairs have been managed through the depression of last year makes for confidence and reassurance, and Washington's recovery has been better than any of its Immediate neighbors. It is in a striking position just, now in that it is not asking for outside money and assistance.
