Mrs. H.S. Conard Addresses W.C.T.U. Meeting
The W.C.T.U. was addressed by Mrs. h.s. Conard, April 19 at the home of Mrs. J.C. Lincoln, on the subject, "Glimpses of the Geneva Conference".
Mrs. Conard explained why the present Conference at Geneva is considered supremely important.
The conference in 1921 when Harding was president was regarding naval disarmament only.
The second conference, held in Geneva in 1928, when Coolidge was president, was a total failure because it was attended by military men who were not eager for disarmament.
The third naval disarmament conference, held in Geneva in 1930, when Ramsay McDonald came to the U.S. and conferred with Hoover, only fixed a standard, a yardstick by which to measure.
All three of these were simply naval, and included only the large powers.
