Hudson, professor of inter: national law at Harvard The delega- visited Washington following an | exchange of correspondence between the Secretary of Stat d Charles (. Bauer, exe ive director of the League of atlons Non-Partisan As sociation, who requested an audience | in order that the administration be| acquainted with the broad scope of the association’s program With Prof. Hudson were lowing: Charles M.

Hale of the Chicago Council of Forelgn Relations. the fol Kate | orth | Aims of Group. After conveying the association’s | sreetings to Mr. Kellogg upon his as-| sumption of office, Prof. Hudson ex- plained that the non-partisan assoc tlon is organized “for the purpose | of an independent, non-partisan culti- | vation of such a public opinion as will | induce the present nistr o | the next one, to enter the L Nati such administration may seem wise, pro-i vided only that they be consistent with our Constitution and consonant with the d 1 honor, the moral responsibility power of our Re- | public He declared that the association will continue its work until its end has heen realized, in the belief that it is | “inevitable that the United States will eventually find 2 way of taking he place in the organized world, organ ized for the maintenance of peace and for the ordering of the common life of the peoples of the world.” Prof. Hudson welcomed the meas ures which Presidents Harding and Coolidge have taken to co-operate with other nations through the machinery of the League of Nations. It was to urge extension of American co-operation for meeting specific prob. Jems created by our contacts with other nations that Prof. Hudson dwelt in detail on the program of activity which been drawn up by the Non-Partisan Association In his plea for American adherence | to the permanent court of interna tional justice, Prof. Hudson said: “In time, its work should rejuvenate | our existing international law, and | this association deems it inevitable | that in line with a policy which has been pursued by our Government for a generation the United States will glve its support to maintaining this established court.” Urges Treaty Ratification. as to such Protection against secret treaties| was one of the points made by Prof. Hudson in urging tha the United States communicate all American ies to the secretary general of the League of Nations for i i He pointed out that 5 s the league, together with Germany and Ecuador, non-members, now regis- | ter their treaties, and continued | ““A treaty made by the United States with any one of these 57 states, will now be registered and published in the treaty series. The 850 treaties| which have been registered and pub. lished during the past vears in- lude many to which the United States is a party. We can see no reason why all Amer n treaties should not be registered, including those which are made with states like Mexico ;u\d’ Turkey, which do not register now. This would not fequire any legislation | by Congress. It would have the great advantage of causing them to be pub- lished in the treaty series, which Is the only general compendium of the world’s treaty law and the 31 volumes of which are now in common use among lawyers throughout the world."” Recommends Committees. Regular and permanent membership | on the following permanent commit tees of the League of Nations was recommended in the memoria sent- ed by Prof. Hudson: Ex and financial committee, permanent dates commission, mixed comm on reduction of armaments; advisory committee on traffic in opium and| other dangerous drugs, and advisory | committee on traffic in women and| children. “Many of these commissions are dealing with questions of great im portance, and the United States should e kept informed of their work and should participate in it to the extent that is possible the time.” said | Prof. Hudson. uck “~grticipation | will not bind the Um ates and| «does not seem to call .of Yegislation; by Congress,” he added. | Two Americans are now members of the permanent health committee, Prof. Hudson pointed out. The United States has participated in the work of the opium committee and the com- mittee on traffic in women and ch dren, but the United States is not rep- resented in any way in the important work of the Permanent Mandates Commission, vital to the protection of American interests, nor in the work of the economic and financial commit- tee, which has been of great signifi- cance to American business men and @ _American trade. Prof. Hudson declared that the as- sociation believed it of great moment for the United States to take part the work of the Co-ordination Comm! sion on Reduction of Armamenta, and further urged that the Secretary eof Btate “give all possible aid to Amen- can individuals who act as members ef such league committees as the com- riittee on intellectual co-operation and the committee on progressive codifica- tion of international law, and to take all possible measures for enabling the American public to be informed con- cerning the progress of this work. Prof. Hudson presented to Mr. Kel- logg summaries of those treaties for which American ratification is urged. These treaties are: Labor conventions (minimum age for admission of chil- dren In employment at sea, unemploy- ment {ndemnity in case of loss or foundering of ship, and minimum age for the admission of young persons lnl employment as trimmers and stokers); | Capital. | rinl | terms office of Lieut.

However, while the funds which become avail- able on July 1, next, will not be sufficient to complete ~the project nevertheless they will permit the de- velopment of a large portion of including an attractive field house.

Section C, between Bolling Field and the Eleventh Street Bridge, is being used by other Gov- | rnment agencies for various purposes nd section I3 is still under the pfiice of Maj. James A.

Cinders now are being dumped on the road ight of way to raise the level, and as soon as these are packed, construc tion on the road proper will begin. One of the features of this park is that all of the houses which may be constructed there will face the park way, and there will be no unsightly r rds to mar the beauty, which will be attractively treated by the Government’s landscape architec There will be attractive trees of vari ous species, and pergolas around many of the gecreation points. There will be three roadways into the park, one at Naylor road, one at Thigteenth street and one at Sixteenth stfeet. arting from the Eleventh street end, the grading nec j r e the conventions on white slavery, | traffic in obscene publications and on | parks by th- commercial arbitration. Prof. Hudson next took up outlawry | of w and called attention to the Dprotocol of Geneva of October 2, 1924, which, he said, represented a sincere attempt by the members of the League of Nations “to make some progress toward the outlawry of war, an ideal near to Americans’ hearts. He continued: “‘Seventeen nations signed the proto- col providing for a larger measure of compulsory peaceful settlement than was ever attempted by so many na- tions. But it is now clear that this protocol will not come into effect in its present form. The present temper of the world, the lessons burned into our minds by the war, will not allow this question to be dropped, however. The negotiations will go on, and we deem it essential that the United | States have some part in them. We venture to express the hope that such negotiations will not be left to proceed without the participation of our Government, and that you may find some way of collaborating with the various members of the league and of joining in a suitable treaty for the outlawry of war which wiil be acceptable to all the peoples of the world. The discussions in England have shown that the United States is inevitably a factor in any attempt to rid the world of war, and we beg you to take cognizance .of this fact before and not after another attempt is launched.” Presents Program. In conclusion Prof. Hudson said: “Mr. Secretary, we have the honor to present to you this immediate pro- gram of our association, and to assure ou of our full support in any efforts you may make to find a way for the United States to co-operate in the or. ganization of the world for peace on consistent with our Constitu tion and consonant with the dignit: and honor, the moral r and power of our Republi 8 “Satis [ ful tistry is done, there is always a slight chance that may be wrong.

To the east of the field house will bé eighteen tennis courts | and neing i form, as well as a bowling green. Also up at this end will be two base ball diamonds, at the point where Naylor road will enter the park and pass to the road at the seawall. Improvement on this section of the park Will be continued each vear as far as funds will permit. However, many of the recreation courts and base ball diamonds now are in use, and the funds which become avail able from time to time will be used for the beautifying of the park The part of the parkway known as section C, between Bolling Field and the Anacostia River Bridge, at Elev- enth street, is being used by . other government agencles, and no further plans have been made for its gener: {mprovement, most of the attentic being centered at this time on the big | recreation park in section D. In sec tion C, a part of it has been allotied to the District of Columbia govern ment and the parking commission for use as a nursery for ising trees for the streets of the city nd for the pub- | lic’ parks. Another sec n has been allotted to the Botanic Garden for the use in propagating plants, and still another section has been turned over to the Department of Agriculture this vear for use by citizens in growin vegetables and other food products. $140,000 More Needed. It was estimated at the beginning that the project would cost approxi mately $300,000 to complete, and s about $160,000 has become avall: In short time it is expected that the final touches will be ced on sec- | tion E, between the Pennsylvania Ave- nue Bridge and the raflroad bridge,and then this will be turned over to the office of public buildings and public United States engineer | for this district. The latter| office has charge of the reclamation and when this is completed, it is | turned over to Col. Sherrill's office for qur(h(-r treatment. There is still me seawall work to be done in section | E, but it was said that it is not prob. able that the formality of turning over this project will be withheld un-| til this is finished. as all of dredging is completed. The corps of men under Maj. O'Con | nor still 'is engaged in working on section between the freight bridge {and Benning Bridge. The dredges are | there, and are throwing the dredged | material on the old flat lands as rapid {1¥ as money is allotted. There is still | considerable seawall construction to |be done. Beside the river chan | nel there is being constructed a large lake, to be known as Kingman Lake, | and this will be surrounded by a high seawall. There also will be a lock constructed to retain the water in this |lake, so that the tide level may be | maintained, and at no time will there | | be great heights of seawall exposed. | This will make the park more at. | tractive for picnlc and other purposes. However, it will be several years, per- | haps, before funds will be available | for this improvement. Preparations already are being made 1{' work above the Benning Bridge, land it is expected that by the time |the engineer work is done in section E the forces will be ready to go above the bridge and begin the reclamation and park extension. The appro. priations now are available for the purchase of lands there, and only re. | cently 20 acres were purchased, whi-h consumed_approximately half of the | $25,000 available this year. In several weeks further purchases are to lx made which will consume this amount. After July 1 another $25,000 will become avaflable. It is estimated that it will take $4, 125,000 to complete the project in sec. | tion F below the bridge and $1,806,000 above the bridge.

The whole visible supply and the future crop were exhausted in a week's trading. Duvel has examined | the books of the big grain houses here, and for three weeks has been examining the books of New York | grain brokers. Duvel has found evidence of big manipulation, and some important facts have been divulged. Officials of the Chicago board are aware that future trading is in the balance, and may be shut off under the Capper- Tincher law. If this is done, business will be_dead. The May deal has been the target of the Government. “It had every appearance of a manipulated market,” Senator Cap- per commented on the price fluctua- tions. “I have assurances from Secre. tary Jardine that the Department of Agriculture will go the limit under | the law and forego no opportunity to | ascertain the influences that have | been atawork in the market.

By the Associated Press HONOLULU, May 2.—The reported comparative ease with which the high command of the “Blue” forces in the Jolnt Army and Navy maneuvers suc- ceeded in landing, theoretically, three quarters of two constructive divisions of marines at the strategical spot at Halefwa, Northwest Oahu, to attack Pearl Harbor, is unofficfaily belleved to have featured the “Blue” presenta- proceedings, in which some 800 offi [ cers are attending, it is known that the spokesmen for the “Blue" forces | pointed to the fact that the fleet was not detected in fits approach to Haleiwa. While 2 landing was not attempted until daybreak, the “Blue adherents said it could have been made, comparatively unopposed, be- fore dawn, but was not tried. due to the desire not to risk human lives in small boats. The critique adjéurned until Mon- day while the umpires study the cases submitted by the opposing sides. Entire secrecy will be maintained until the issue of the official prelim- inary summary, probably on May 6. which will, it is expected, be followed by the issue of a detalled statement from the War and Navy Departments at Washington. in Harold McCormick Sails.
