WASHINOTON, April 6. Join

orial brought to Washington for
presentation to the chief execu
tive today by a committee ot Its
signeea, who Included many prom
inent in church, educational and
other fields, and several state
governors.
Viewed from the outcome of the
effort of the League of Nations
In Ibis direction, the memorial
said "the great cause of the out
lawry of war would seem lost un
less a conference called by you
results in the uniting of the na
tions In a practical plan that will
outlaw any nation guilty ot ag
gressive war.'
The fact that in that move
ment, the memorial added, the
representatives of forty-eight gov

ous and enthuslastlo detailed vote
for a plan for the outlawry ot
aggressive war In the form ot a
draft treaty for submission to
their government shows that the
time la ripe for it." . ' --
As to tireat Britain's ultimate
rejection of tha league plan, the
memorial said It had been made
plain that this waa "mainly be
cause she will not accept the ob
ligation to support economic sanc
tions against the possible opposi
tion of the United States and also
because the United States Is not
expected to Join In the treaty,"
adding "there can be little hope
for the outlawry of war without
