LEAGUES TOPIC
Student Foreign Policy League
Will Meet Tonight to Discuss
World Disarmament.
The Student Foreign Policy
league will meet tonight at
9 :00 o'clock in Graham Memo
rial for the purpose of further
I discussion and consideration, of
the world disarmament problem.
The organization is interest
ed in the disarmament confer
ence which is to re-assemble in
Geneva May 29 and-which will
be in the nature of a continua
tion of the conference which
met from February 2, 1932, to
July 11, 1932. The attention of
the. league is especially drawn
to the subject because of the
hesitancy on the part of some
of the governments participat
ing to take up again the work
of the 1932 conference.
Norman Davis, United States
ambassador at large in Europe
and chief disarmament delegate,
has given the president a some
what pessimistic view of the
progress of disarmament, say
insr. however, that no nation
wants war. The Foreign Policy
league is interested in encourag
ing this -world disarmament in
so far as it is possible for it to
do so. It will take a position
on the question as to whether
the United States government
should or should not energetical
ly push the work of this confer
ence. The league will attempt to
gain the co-operation of other
organizations interested in such
matters in North Carolina and
will make efforts to bring their
views before President Roose
velt, the secretary of state, and
the members of the North Caro
lina delegation in congress, both
senators and representatives.
An invitation to attend and
take part in the discussions and
decisions of the organization
has been extended to all students
interested in the liberal discus
sion of foregin policy and who
would like to see student opin
ion carry weight with the of
ficials of the government.
