Mallery of Philadelphia as treasurer; Herbert S. Houston of New York as chairman of the Ways and Means committee; Mrs. Arthur C. Watkins as recording secretary; William H. Short as executive secre- tary. This committee was formed for the purpose of upholding the efforts of the American delegates and of fo- cusing the strength of public opinion in behalf of the original spirit, as- pirations, and developing purpose of the conference. Its Governing board has passed resolutions favoring the administration's stand in behalf of future conferences and an agreement of nations to consider future prob- lems in international relationships, and--going one step farther--the com- mittee has urged a nation-wide ex- pression of public opinion in favor of an International Economic confer- ence, to be invited by the Govern- ment of the United States, following the present Armament onference. Would Crystallize Opinion To furnish a public forum for the open discussion of America's stand in these vital international problems, and to crystallize and clarify public opinion so that it may be effective, is the purpose of the Speakers' bureau, of which Mr. Lloyd has become a member. Approximately 1,500 men and women have responded to Bishop McDowell's invitation, and are ready to accept speaking engagements in any state, "Any organization--civic, commer- cial, religious, fraternal, etc--may be prrovided with a speaker, by notifying a representative of this Speakers bureau," Mr. Lloyd said today. "The General committee, however, is sup- ported entirely by voluntary contrib- ations, and carried on largely by volunteer service. from headquarters at Washington, of all these addresses before Chambers of Commerce, Granges, Labor Unions, chuches, etc, would involve the ex- penditure of a prohibitive amount of money. So the committee has urged the personal work of its speakers, in every city, for the local arrangement of these addresses. "Speakers receive their expenses, only, for these public talks on dis- armament," Mr. Lloyd said. Any organization that would like to have a speaker address it, should communicate at once with Mr. Lloyd. From now on, all requests received at Washington headquarters, will be referred to the committee's represent- atives in local communities. Every organization which is addressed by a member of the Speakers' bureau, is requested to pass resolutions stating its opinion regarding an "organic and continuing relationship of nations," and future conferences for the peace- ful discussion of world problems. These resolutions will be forwarded by the speaker to the General com- mittee's headquarters, 1319 F street, Washington.
