Convention Ends Tonight

Dr. Wendell W. Wright, incoming association president, warned the teachers that two recent Indiana Supreme Court decisions were inimical to their interests The convention, which brought approximately 15,000 teachers to Indianapolis, began yesterday with scores of sections and group meetings Tonight, teachers will end the convention a general session at Cadle, with Merle Thorpe, Nation's Business editor, and Will Durant philosopher, as speakers. Senator Nve declared that President Wilson established a policy of neutrality in 1914, 15, "16 and 17 and said that no loans would made to belligerents. Then, he said, the firm of J. P.

But when sentiment being | whiped up for entry, there was no | mention made of the loans to Allies, or of the prospects of business returns on reconstruction business, Senator Nye said. “The war was to be fought to end | wars; to make the world safe for | democracy; to destroy militarism, and to establish freedom of the seas,” he continued. “We won the war and lost the cause. Is there anvone here who wants to sav we destroyed militar ism? There are fewer democracies on earth today than there were before we went to war to save the world from democracy. “And as for ending war, today in the making a war a scale as will put that shame, “Freedom of the seas? There is no word in any treaty having to do with the seas. “We should stay out of all wars until we have some assurance that we can win the causes as well the wars. Today, the Allies don't owe a single cent of all the vast] commissions the Morgans earned, 7 per cent of the debts to this country and I doubt if youll ever see another 1 per cent paid. “The neutrality

Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.<=A "res survey” of the undistributed-profits tax and the capital-gains-and-losses tax to eliminate inequities would be entirely justifiable, Senator La Follette (Prog.
