FULL TEXT OF PLAN The complete manuscript of Plan No. 1469 Providing for Cooperation between the United States and other nations "to achieve and preserve the peace of the world" is given below, including the author's reasoning: There Is Not Room for More Than One Organization to Promote International Cooperation Five-sixths of all nations, including about four-fifths of mankind, have already created a world organization, the purpose of which is to "promote international co-operation and to achieve international peace and security." Those nations cannot and will not abandon this system which has now been actively operating for three and a half years. If leading members of the United States Government ever had serious hopes that another association of nations could be formed, such hopes were dispelled during the Washington Conference by plain intimations from other Powers. The United States Has Already Gone Far in Cooperation With the League of Nations The United States government, theoretically maintaining a policy of isolation, has actually gone far since March 4, 121, toward cooperation with other nations to achieve and preserve the peace of the world. The most familiar part of the story is the work of the Washington Conference, wherein President Harding's Administration made a beginning of naval disarmament, opened to China a prospect of rehabilitation, and joined with Great Britain, Japan and France to make the Pacific been worthy of its name. Later came the recommendation that the United States should adhere to the Permanent Court of International Justice. Not long after that action proceeded on Page 2 SHERIFF HAS NOT LOCATED CAR DEALER The sheriff's office has not yet located Charles C.

Philadelphia st. are being sought by local police following a raid Saturday night by Chief of Police Moody and deputies in which the police are said to have captured a 40-gallon still, 100 gallons of liquor and a large quantity of mash. The raid which netted the largest results, probably, of any made in Anaheim since enactment of the prohibition laws, was conducted while residents were away from home. The house is said to be occupied by two brothers and a sister, Belgians, whose name is Van Oost. The girl is thought not to have been implicated, but fear-ed at first to return home after she heard the raid had been made. The two brothers had not been located by local police today. The contraband discovered amounted in value to at least $2,-000, police said. U. S.
