Asks Action on Lease-Lend Bill

Miss Marguerite M. Wells, national president of the League of Women Voters, today issued a call for quick action on the Lease-Lend Bill, and the league announced its gpposition to the Bridges and Ellender amendments, “as destructive to. the bill's objectives and dangerous to the best interests of the United States.”

ported H. R. 1776 as a substitute for war. Mrs. Clarence F. Merrell, president of the Indiana league, anin’ Indiana have been conducting campaign for the passage of I. R. 1776 for six weeks and will continue to work for its passage without the Ellender and Bridges amendments. + “Every opportunity has been given for debate and the time has come when nothing new or helpful is being said,” Miss Marguerite M. Wells declared. “Delay is fraught with danger, coming at a time when ‘small nations are surrendering to lawless aggressors rather than depend on Britain, who they fear is not equipped to protect them.” ti Discusses Amendment f Under the Bridges amendment, to name countries to which aid may be extended, nations not named “would be likely to lose what courage they had mustered in opposition to Hitjer’'s demands upon them, thus hastening the catastrophe the bill seeks to prevent,” Miss Wells stated.

tiveness of the program contemplated in the bill. “The Ellender amendment, to declare that the bill does not authorize sending land and naval forces, is unnecessary,” she pointed out. “Since there is nothing in the bill to authorize the use of the Army and Navy in foreign wars, not only is it unnecessary, but for the Congress to make such a declaration of policy at this time would be dan- _ gerous to the best interests of the United States.”.

BY MARIAN YOUNG Indianapolis Times Special Correspondent

NASSAU, Bahamas, March 4.— A crestfallen Nassau has discovered that the snub-nosed, blond Duke of Windsor and his trim Duchess are no longer societyminded ;

. They are social-minded. While frustrated Bahamian hostesses sulk in their palm gardens and tourist-agents despair, the Windsors are occupying themselves on “the other side of -the tracks”—seeking to improve the lot of the malnourished natives of these islands. A The swankiest and most intriguing parties the old guard of Nassau can concoct are going unattended by the Windsors, except when given in the most worthy charitable causes. Thus, a half year after the onetime King-Emperor of all the British Empire came to the politically and geographically insignificant Bahama Islands as their governor, he finds himself . (1) growing in popularity with his dark-toned subjects’ who comprise 80 per cent of the Bahamian population, and (2) being viewed with mingled feelings by capital S Nassau Society. The Duke’s interest in the poor is no new mantle, taken on to pasy the time during his stay on what unkind critics have called his St. Helena. The fact is that the Edward whom Nassau now is seeing is that man who, when he toured London's slums as the: Prince of Wales in 1919, called them “damnable beyond words.”

Engaged

Mrs. ‘William Ray Adams an- , nounces the engagement of her daughter, Jane, to Arthur B. “Lathrop, son of Mr. and Mrs. Homer C. Lathrop. The wedding will be in June. Miss Adams was graduated from Orchard and Tudor Hall Schools and Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, N. Y. Mr. Lathrop was graduated from Park School and is a senior at Williams College, Williamstown, Mass.

Mrs. James ‘A. Morrison of 33 Sutton Place South, New York, daughter-in-law of the William H. Morrison's of Indianapolis, is busy these days with the Red Cross Nurses Training course. She is already a full-fledged Gray Lady, which means she has completed 12 weeks of lectures and 100 hours of hospital nursing. She is training now to be what the Red Cross calls a Pink Lady, which means many more arduous hours of hospital nursing in the wards of Bellevue.

Mrs. Norman Cook, daughter of the late Mrs. Alfred F, Potts of Indianapolis, has more or less put aside her hobby of painting portraits and landscapes to take in the war work going on near her home in Englewood, N. J. Mrs. Cook and many of her neighbors meet several times a week in each others’ homes to make clothes for the children of war-torn Europe. Mrs. Cook’s son, Norman Cook Jr. is editor of the Daily Princetonian, bie student newspaper at the colege. .

‘ The "Albert Lords and their three sons, James, Edward and Peter of

boys get their spring vacations from Williston Academy, Loomis and Englewood, their respective schools. The family will be gone three weeks. Bennet, the Lords’ oldest son, who is a student at Princeton University, will be unable to accompany them as his holidays

coal miners in 1932, said, “I wish I could do something that would really help.” Those words re-echoed the other day when the Duke told me: “Something plainly must be done to improve the conditions of the neglected four-fifths of the population of the Bahamas.”

LJ " =

LENDER and gentle mannered, the Duke’s suntanned brow knit with deep earnestness as he spoke to me of the unemployment, the poverty and the ill health which harass thousands of the people he governs these days. “We have ' serious unemployment problems here in the Bahamas,” said. “Most of the natives never have steady work. Now, with the sponge industry at a standstill because of the disease that has ruined the crop for the last few years, there is almost nothing left for them to do. “All in all, far too little has been done in behalf of our native population.” Then, with surprising frankness: “Trying to get co-operation in Nassau is like batting your head against a stone wall,” and added that certain non-co-operative civic leaders are “stuffy in what they are pleased to call their staunchness. “You see, there are all too few steady employers of labor on the islands. Something must be done to develop potential agricultural and industrial resources. Only a
