Its rejection would be a blow to peace.” The gleaming lesson of London, apart | from the three-power pact, Wile pointed out, is the “searchlight the conference has turned on the present-hour psy- | chology of Europe. “It should be a lesson which our ce-at-any-price, our turn-the-other- cheek, school of American patriotism, should take seriously to heart.” Mr. Wile outlined briefly this psy- chology manifested at the conference in the complexities and the contro- versies which the American delegation WASHINGTON, I D. A. R. Sidelights I Radio “sewing” luncheons, Wwhere guests may “listen in” to a D. A. R. broadcasting, were recommended in the first report of the radio committee by Mrs. Julisn G. Goodhue, its national chairman. In instructing chapters how to fur- nish material for such talks, she gave this pertinent advice: “Find out what the program director wants. Give him what he wants and sandwich in what you want the public to have.” The policy of the radio committee, | Mrs. Goodhue stressed, calls for mea: ured conservatism, patriotic but non- political subjects 'and speakers, and presentation interesting enough to caj ture and hold an unseen audience “not compelled by good manners to listen and fickle as an April day.” States, Connecticut, Tllinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, now are broadcasting regularly and the hook up of 23 stations of the Columbia Broadcasting Co., secured by the New York State regent, Mrs. F. Bradley Reynolds, which terminated April 1, will be renewed later. A plea for a permanent bureau of in- formation of the D. A. R. was made by Mrs. William Louis Dunne, chairman of the national publicity comimttee of the society, in her report beford the congress. She stated: “The ultimate destiny of the publicity committee should find it evolved into a really vitalized bureau of informa- tion to be ‘a section of the D. A.

Imperfect and incomplete as it m be from the standpoint of the “big navy” or the “small navy” factions and others, he said, the London treaty is’ not inadequate from the standpoint of American security. “It may entail an expenditure of $600,000,000 or $700,000,000 during the next six years,” he explained. “But such & sum is & mere bagatelle for the world’s richest country to pay for na- tional fire insurance, he stressed. “It ‘works out & premium of a bare $6 per capita.” In his address on the merchant marine, Prof. Haag of Georgetown, who is also director of the Bureau of Re- search of the United States Shipping Board, declared that $3,000,000,000 was the price this country paid in the World ‘War for neglecting its ocean shipping. Mr. Haag described the efforts being made to restore the merchant marine which are now bearing fruit in in-| creased tonnage. Whereas in the decade previous to the World War, American ships carried only 10 per cent of Amer- ican foreign trade, over 35 per cent was carried in American bottoms during the t decade. With this steady increase, » pointed out, the value of foreign trade carried in American ships now amounts to two and a third billion dollars annually, he said. Comparing the 1910-1914 period with the amount of American shipping to- day, the speaker said that American trade with Europe has increased 50| per cent; with South America, 200 per cent; with Africa, 325 per cent, and with Asia, 380 per cent.
