Arrangements have been completed for the convention of the League to Enforce Peace to be held in the assembly as-sembly hail on April 6, according to an announcement made last night by William Wil-liam X. Williams, president of the local chapter. Mr. Williams is in receipt of a letter from Charles C.

Kx-governor Kx-governor Eberhart of Minnesota has been engaged as one of the speakers lor this trip. W. E. Dorland, district secretary for tho central western states, will be in Salt Lake in the near future for the purpose of interesting local men and offering suggestions to make the meeting meet-ing on April 6 a success. In his letter to Mr. Williams, Mr. 1 Michener said that he had discussed with William Howard Taft, who is the president of the league, the idea of what the league should do in case we ' were actually involved in war with ; Germany. Mr. Taft declared that it ' would be more difficult to carry out: the plans of the league relative to the: proposed trip westward, but that he felt that it would be a great mistake if; it failed to let the people of the conn- j try generally know just what is con-' teniplated in this idea of a league of na-1 lions. i Mr. Williams wishes it understood that the league is not undertaking to stop the present war and that it does not propose to meddle with it in any way; -that its purpose is expressed in, and confined to securing the mainte- j nance of peace after the European war j by the use of economic and military force. ! |
