THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1921. DUAL LANGUAGE USE INCREASES COST OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS
(By Associated Press)
GENEVA. Switzerland. June 29.
Obligatory uso of two languages, French and English, in all Its transactions, and the- high cost of living at
the headquarters in Geneva are given by the special committee, investigating the workings of the League of
Nations as an explanation of what has been considered in some quarters as the excessive cost of the organization. The expense for last year, as already reported, was about $4,150,000. "There can be no doubt, says the committees report, "that, rightly or
wrongly, the League of Nations has .
the reputation of costing too much.
The report then goes on to explain'
how the complexity, diversity and novelty of the work undertaken necssrarily costs heavily, particularly since it is in the hands of a comparatively
young institution that lacks exper-j ience. Language Costs One-Third. The dual language of the League requiring translation and duplicate publication of all documents alone accounts for one-third of the entire expense, the report says, then points out that the location of the headquarters of the League in Geneva accounts for a good deal of the excessive outlay, "Since the main purpose of the Commission of Inquiry is to suggest every form of economy," the report says, "it feels bound to point out that, at the moment, Geneva is and so far as it is possible to foresee will remain -a city in which the cost of living is comparatvely higher than in almost any city in Europe, and where the rate of exchanges, at the moment of writing, the most disadvantageous for the great majority of states members of the league." The report suggests that were the league headquarters located at Brussels, Fontainebleau, Turin or Vienna, or almost anywhere else, an immediate economy would be effected that would be appreciated by all members of the league and particularly by those whose exchange is depreciated.
Minister Pens Poem
On Scant Summer Styles NE WYORK, June 29. Scant sum
mer styles, as exhibited in these parts
have inspired the Rev. Dr. John Roach
Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, to pen a "poem," which was going through its second edition in the public prints today. Wrote Dr. Straton: "Mary had a little skirt. The latest style, no doubt; But every time she got inside She was more than half way out" In a prose foreword, delivered from his pulpit Sunday night, Dr. Straton declared he did not advocate a return to the old 6treet-sweeping styles. "There is a style for women's dresses which 1b In harmony with the laws of sanitation as well as the principles of modesty," he said.
