World Security Plans Discussed By Rev. Robinson

S ession H ouse M eeting Told of D ifficulties W h ich M ust b e O vercom e

About 80 members of the World •Community Groi.'p here and others interested in international security met at the Presbyterian Session House on Tuesday evening to hear a most interesting talk by Rev. HarryD. Robinson Jr„ former pastor of the Methodist Church here, now a pastor at Seaford, L. I.

Mr. Robinson reviewed recent and pending action on world security measures. He traced basic reasons for the failure of the League of Na­tions, a quarter-century a^o. His five reasons were, in brief—Ameri­can ignorance and inexperience in European and world politics; the Fourteen Points were the work of one'm an, conclusions were reached hurriedly by a few presidents and prime ministers, without exchange of views by technical assistants. Del­icate questions, such as colonies, j were involved; adjustment was not possible without many conferences.! Europe really didn't want it; around nnd under it the same old snarl of

eatie:went on. Some Euroi groups really prefer war to peace; they live on' past glory, protecting little differences of speech, dress, action—hoping to come out on top

Conditions have improved today; every nation feels a need for some international security arrangement. Heads of states have met in confer­ence; also technical officers of states —on food, aviation, labor, finance, relief, tarriffs, and political alliances. The entrance of the United States into a proper share of power and responsibility in world affairs is not a matter of party politics (or should not be).

Mr. Robinson outlined what was done at Bretton Woods. Dumbarton Oaks. Chapultepec, and Yalta. At Bretton Woods, over 100 economic experts from 44 nations met to work out a set of proposals concerning reconstruction ana development, trade and currency. They were pre­sented with a plan already worked out, an Anglo-American plan; Presi­dent Roosevelt instructed Secretary Morgenthau that no drastic modi­fications be made. After two months' work' a plan was produced which did not make any fundamental al­terations. The Bretton Woods plan provides that an International Bank be set up; details are too involved to be reported here. The President and Mr. Morgenthau consider the plan an instrument to prevent the outbreak of economic warfare. On the other hand, there is grave fear on the part of others that we may lose our freedom by such an organi­zation. A citizen could be prevented

The East Hampton High School is ie first organization to take charge,

for East Hampton, of the United Na- lal Clothing Collection for Over- s War Relief. Henry J. Kaiser, shipbuilder, is national chairman.

The drive opened April 1 and con- s through this month. Mark

Hall, aided by Boy Scouts, will col- from each home room at school clothing brought by pupils

others; his collection will take place Friday, April 13. Articles may brought at any time now. Stephen

Marley, manager of Edwards' Thea- is planning to cooperate with

the drive. This is quite a project, itailing considerable work; b

nothing could be more necessary.Wear it, or Share It,” is East

Hampton’s special slogan for drive. Country clothes closets and attics should yield a great amount of perfectly good, wearable clothing.

Innocent war-sufferers—125 mil­lion in Europe alone and 30 million of these children, have in five years worn their clothes to rags and shreds. Production of new clothing has been impossible. Deaths from exposure, during this past winter, have equalled and in some areas even exceeded deaths due to starva­tion or malnutrition. 150 million pounds of clothing are needed. Sum­mer or winter clothing; and shoes, gloves, blankets or bedcloths needed. This should be taken to the High School at once. Other collec­tion places may be announced later.

Dr. E rd m an n O p e ra te s O n 81st B irthday

Congratulations to Dr. John F.rdmann of New York and Lily

Pond lane, East Hampton! Dr. Erd­mann was, incredibly, 81 last week. He is still operating with the tech­nique and speed that has made younger surgeons declare for years that nobody will ever take his place. Half East Hampton belongs to the O. B. E.—that long roster of people proud to s iy they have undergone operations by Dr. Erdmann.

Last Thursday evening’s New York Sun said:

“Dr. John F. Erdmann's record of having performed at least one operation on his birthday every year since he began practice in 1887 is still intact. The New York surgeon, who celebrated his eighty-first birth­day on Tuesday, said thaf his chances of maintaining the record looked slim last Saturday when he realized that none of his patients needed an operation.

“Just then a young lady with a stomach ache came to see me," he said in his office at 122 East 70th street, New York. "It turned out she needed an intestinal re-section. I did it on the morning of my birth­day, and it was a humdinger. It saved my record, too."

“Dr. Erdmann, who was director of surgery at the New York Post- Graduate Medical School and Hos­pital until he resigned in 1943 to devote himself to private practice, said that he hoped to continue per­forming operations on his birthday for many years."

ime the village and township lagging about 50 per cent be­

hind the set quotas. However, quotas ivere quickly oversubscribed when residents learned the situation. This was only possible, he said, bccausc iome individuals gave more than their intention when it was found that many persons, well able to give

nerously, were falling far behind d were making contributions of 'O dollars or less. A surprising jolt

to the committee, he said, was the jmber of people here who refused i give anything a t all.The quotas for the township which ere all oversubscribed were: Am- ;ansett, $1,000; East Hampton,

$7,200; Montauk, $500; Sag Harbor, $2,500; Springs, $150, and Wainscott, $150.
