GH. 51 1G rree latlaatee Werk Oaaranteei EDITORIAL THE EVIAN CONFERENCE At this writing the first meeting of the momentous and long-heralded inter-governmental conference fathered by the United States has convened at Evian and the first two days' sessions completed. Never in our day has any international parley been moved by such altruistic motives and actuated by such high-minded 'principles and ideals. Here, no national prestige of diplomatic triumph is at stake, but the very lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children seeking a place to live.

There were those who doubted that this conference would go beyond the' expression of harmless platitudes and innocuous generalities. But the address of Myron C. Taylor, chairman of the American delegation, has undoubtedly dispelled such doubts and makes clear the fact that concrete and practical proposal may result from the deliberations. The conference became a really earnest affair, contrary to the disheartening forecast of Clarence K. Streit, New York Times correspondent, who likened the atmosphere of the conference to that of a "poker game." We may hope that, appreciating the vital seriousness of the human issues involved and the challenge facing the democracies of the world, this assemblage will not be wrecked on the shoals of mutual distrust and suspicions, and by the desire to "pass the buck." Mr.

Taylor's address deeply impressed the delegates as indicative of the sincerity of our country and its- earnest desire to get something done without delay. That the President's invitation was far more than a polite and empty gesture has now been brought home to everyone. A clear analysis of the Nazi crime against civilization, a statement of the international complications created by that government's persecutions and the disruptive consequences of "human dumping," an emphatic condemnation of the Nazi "disregard of elementary human rights" these are some of the indications that Mr. Taylor was not mincing his language. As for practical proposals, the one most necessary for the success of these deliberations is Mr.

Taylor's decision to limit their scope to the problem of refugees from Germany and Austria only. Mr. Taylor had time to touch on only some of the many problems to be solved and the technical details to be surmounted. Undue optimism at this early stage of the proceedings of the Evian Conference would be decidedly premature and unwarranted, but the forthright utterances and sound practical proposals enunciated by Mr. Taylor will hearten all who wish the conference success.

The election of Mr. Taylor to the chairmanship is one of many signs that all of the other 31 nations represented are looking to the continued leadership of the United States, and insofar as this leadership continues on the same high level evidenced at the first session, the doubts, hesitations and unwillingness to act, of the individual governments, will, we are persuaded, give way to practical proposals of a far-reaching nature.

Even before President Hoover elevated him to the highest court in the land in response to a universal demand, Cardozo was being compared to such celebrated legal minds as Marshall and Holmes.
