MODEL ASSEMBLY

While the representatives of the powers are debating at the London Conference how to preserve peace by a proper balance of military strength, there is being made at New Haven an attempt to bring peace by a student discussion of international problems. The New England Colleges' League of Nations Model Assembly which will be held on April 25-27 will discuss in open forum the problems which are hindering amity among nations.

When Mr. MacDouald conferred with President Boover last year, the two men resolved upon the calling of a conference which would by diminishing navies, minimize the danger of war. America went to the London Conference with the avowed intention of reducing armaments, but she finds herself in the position of being constrained to continue to build warships to maintain parity with Britain. The Model Assembly may not produce anything tangible in its mild attempt at crusading; but there will be one consolation for the delegates: their deliberations cannot possibly be put into reverse and produce a new spurt of cruiser-building.
