WOMEN LAUNCH DRIVE ON DRY LAW DEFENDERS Temperance, Better Social Conditions, Respect for Law, Objects. With tHfeir three-fold goal the promotion of temperance, improveent of social conditions and res•ation of respect for law and fcoVerment, fifty Indianapolis women this afternoon opened a statewide membership drive of the Women’s Organization for National Prohibition Reform. The meeting was held at the residence of Mrs. J. S. Holliday, 1050 West Forty-second street. Members pointed to the prohibition law as the basis for the nation’s era of crime and corruption. Mrs. Frederick M. Alger, state chairman of the Michigan division, was the chief speaker before the Indiana division’s officers and advisory council. Her talk was the opening signal of the Indiana drive for membership. Each member attending the afternoon session was asked to bring a guest. The organization was founded in Chicago two years ago by twentyfour charter members. Since then the membership has reached 300,000 women in thirty-three states. "This small group of women then were inspired to undertake this work by the belief that thousands of women throughout the country must, through their various activities, be aware of the breakdown in our whole social fabric as the result of national prohibition and waiting for the opportunity to voice their disapproval,” officials said. Mrs. Holliday stated that the unfortunate economic conditions which now confront the company have robbed prohibitionists of the prosperity argument. "The rapid growth of our organisation is a daily refutation of their claim that women want to continue national prohibition,” Mrs. Holliday declared. State officers of the association are: Mrs. Holliday and Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru, joint state chairmen; Mrs. Charles Harvey Bradley, treasurer, and Mrs. Robert F. Scott, secretary. Members of the executive committee : Mesdames Clifford Arrick, Elias C. Atkins, Henry W. Bennett, Cecil G. Fowler, Meredith Nicholson Jr., George Olive and Mark Pangborn. The advisory council members are: Mesdames Frederic M. Ayres. William A. Atkins. William C. Bobbs. Charles E. Coffin. D. Lawrence Chambers. Augustus Coburn. Joseph J. Daniels, George L. Denny. John S. Flshback, Felix Geddes, John D. Gould. J. A. Goodman. Benjamin D. Htz. Fletcher Hodges. Alexander R. Holliday, Sylvester Johnson. Frederick A. Joss, Douglas Jillson. Fisk Landers, Edward L.

U. S. REFUSES TO BE ‘KEY’ TO WAR DEBTS CUT Government Takes Attitude Problem Is One for Allies. By RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staß Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 9.—This government’s attitude toward discussion in Europe regarding reparations and war debts revision is described by one important official here as one of “vatchful waiting.” There is no disposition to minimize the economic difficulties of Germany which have precipitated the latest agitation. However, this gov-

ernment regards reparations as resting between Germany and the Allies, growing out of the treaty of Versailles in which the United States declined to join. In some European quarters, the attempt is made to link reparations with the war debts owed the United States, but this government has refused to recognize the connection. The tendency abroad to complain that the United States is "collecting its pound of flesh” met with President Herbert Hover’s recent criticism of the world expenditure of five billion dollars a year on armament. Europe’s concentration on expansion of armaments is regarded here as the greatest burden of today. Three major reasons are citAd as influencing the United States against reopening the debt settlements approved by congress some years ago. They are: 1. Even assuming a willingness to reopen the question, the United States would not yield its most powerful weapon in advance of the disarmament conference, which the

administration keenly hopes will succeed. 2. The approach of the 1932 presidential elections makes any thought of reversing the administration’s anti-cancellation policy untimely. 3. More time is required to determine whether, as Is claimed, Germany's reparation payments are too heavy. LONDON, June 9.—Premier Ramsay MacDonald and Foreign Secretary Arthur Henderson have accepted an invitation for a return visit to Berlin as sequel to the chequers conference of last weekend, it was announced officially today. No date for the trip has been fixed as yet.
