' - What action fchould tho United States take? ; The League of Nations association of 6 East 30 street. New York City, has issued the following bulletin for immediate release In a number of college and ochool papers through out the country. j .Would It be an aid to Internation al peace m tnese trouoious times were the world informed upon what Vrms the United States would Join ,il.e League of Nations? ' ; Should there be an official Ameri can representative at Geneva to par ticipate In League deliberations while the United States is not a League member? 1 Students In some 750 colleges are being called on to answer these ques tions in the affirmative. That Is, a petition asking for these two actions as i Important to the cause of peace Is being circulated In 750 colleges 1 under sponsorship of the Intercolle giate Council on International Co operation. . James F. Green, now a graduate student at Yale, and well known for the speech he made before the World Disarmament - Conference at Geneva, la chairman of the- coun cil. The petition urges "that the United States reinforce the League's contri bution to peacA by stating the terms under .which, full membership would bo possible; and by - appointing In the meantime an official diplomatic representative to the League of Na tions to participate In Its delibera tions." ThH petition can be secured by seeing Mr. Blunt, The promoters of the petition, de clare It to be "realistic," that what Is petitioned for can and should be done at once. They are also of the opinion that these steps would be peculiarly In harmony with Presi dent Roosevelt's policy as stated In hia Woodrow Wilsoiv anniversary din ner speech last December. A vast number of peace -advocates are convinced . that if world disaster Is to be averted, the United States and Russia must come into the Lea gue. Much Is being said both In this country and abroad about revising the League Covenant to make it ac ceptable to these two Important world powers. It would go a long way toward clarifying a dangerously ponfused situation, say tho peace ad vocates if the United States would satc under what terms she would Join tho League, .The preamble of the petition which was initiated by the League of Na tions association declarer: "We, citizens of the United States, anxious, to avoid war- and organtz? peace in which, prosperity can thrive. believing that the collective! system of the world community which in- ; You Are Invited to See The Now Display of ' Guitars ( Now Dobro, the Regal Tenor Spanish Styles. : Priced i from $6.25 o $40 ( Easy terms and a reduced price ; on a course of guitar Instructions that will teach you with each In '. strumcnt purchased.
