GENEVA, June 14.—Albert Thomas, | director of the international labor of- fice, replying to the speeches of the delegates made during discussion at the international ~labor conference, spoke, among other things, of the fi;nerlcln attitude toward international e. He said it could not be doubted that European states today had to fear what one of the delegates had called the economic imperialism of the United States. He fully recognized the delicate situation which might be created for world economy and not only for European economy. They would watch all the more attentively for any symp- tom of reversion in the minds of the American public or American states- men, some new inclination toward in- ternational life. He sald he had thought that this| year the United States may have found | it interesting to send an observer, since | the question of accident prevention was | dealt with to a large extent in America, both by public and private institutions. He took steps to secure information, but found that the labor office would have to wait a little longer, and he admitted some disappointment. - e Divorce Suits Filed.
