Graham presiding for the president, Mrs.

W. H. Hutchins, These Informal meetings are al ways valuable, and this time the speaker, George Lftdd Munn, de lighted the class with a review of present-day conditions In Europe A brief sketch of General Smuts, as a world figure, brought out the fact that he, with Lord Robert Cecil, had formulated the league covenant, Mr. Munn said In part: "General Smuts voiced his disappointment In the league of nations as becoming an for enforcing the treaty of Versailles, which seems to have been borne out by subsequent events. Beginning with what happened Fob, 3.

1035, Mr. Munn gave an enlightening resume of these events up to the meeting at Stress, on February 3, proposals were offered by Great Britain, France and Italy looking toward security In Europe. First, for an nlr pact; second for an eastern Locarno pact, (the western Locarno pact had been agreed to by Germany, Italy, France and Great Britain) -for non-aggression between border ntates, (e. g. Oer many and Poland) and for mutual assistance between such states as Great Britain, Franco and Italy.

Third, for freely-negotiated settlements of the armament questions; fourth, for tlu independence of Austria; fifth, for Germany's join- Ing the league (it nations. After the third of February what happened? On March 4 came the British "white paper" Insisting It WRS essential to peace for Britain to Increase Its army and navy, citing, as an Germany's military training of Its youth and other militaristic acts. Then came the visits of sir John Simon and Sir Anthony Eden to Germany, Russia, Poland and Czechoslovakia. They found Germany more hostile to the proposals of February 3 than had been expected; RutiMa, more cordial; Poland, not so. Then came the Strcsa conference In April, from the llth to the 14th.

Mr. Munn's belief Is that Mussolini was the leading Influence there. The British delegates' statement that they came for explanations brought this rejoinder from the others present: "Why come at all, then?" England, Italy and France then published Joint resolutions, condemning Germany for Ite unl- laterlal defiance against the treaty of Versailles. The London Times, a great organ of public opinion, said, editorially, that action by the council (of the league of nations) was necessary, l.he speaker said. To say that has repudiated the treaty, unfairly, is only half the truth, it was pointed out.

Germany's defense was (1) she was forced to sign; (2) the other nations have not lived up to the treaty. Concerning possibilities of war, Mr, Munn said as long as England, France and Germany stand together, aggressive action Is not likely. There may be a truce for some time, he said, but permanent peace cannot exist unless Germany Is restored to an equality. The fact that Hitler has frankly come out and struck a sharp blow for that equality has cleared the atmosphere somewhat, he said, and restored to the German people some degree of self-confidence and self respect.

ORDER EXPLAINS PROCEDURE IN MEDICAL OR SURGICAL CAREJJTWAR VETERANS Roy Hocking, county service officer for the American Legion and for the 13th district area has received the following communication which will be of Interest to all ex- service men who may need medical or surgical care or attention: "The veterans' administration has called to the attention of all service officers, and veterans, the necessity for designated physicians to report the rendering of emergency treatment to the nearest facility or regional office within 24 hours. "Since the authorization for medical treatment can not be retroactively dated, designated physicians or private practitioners should request immediate authority from the nearest regional office or hospital by telephone, or telegraph, and within 24 hours thereafter submit form 2690, designated 'physician's request for authority for treatment' to the regional office or facility concerned. "It is suggested that all sen-ice officers inform all members of posts or veterans concerned, that may fall in stated conditions, as to the necessity of promptly notifying the regional office or facility in their territories of residence whenever they desire medical treatment.

"Should veterans place themselves in the care of private medical practitioners, that is particularly essential. The veteran should instruct his attending physician to communicate at once with the chief medical officer of the field station concerned, in order to obtain the required authority to treat the beneficiary. Such communication should be made by telephone, telegraph or letter, as the comparative urgency of the circumstances may indicate, By following the above instructions, greater benefit may be had by all veterans that may come within this ruling."
