Interparliamentary Union

In Washington the Interparliamentary Union (TIME, Oct. 12) last week closed its sessions. Two major resolutions had been passed:

1) for the codification of international law proposed by Elihu Root;

2) for the establishment of "demilitarized zones" in Europe proposed by General Spears, British M. P.

For the most part the closing sessions of the meeting were long-winded, poorly attended, devoted to talk of peace and security. But the delegates were out in force for a trip to Mount Vernon and for a banquet given by the U. S. delegation at the Mayflower Hotel.

The delegates appeared to be greatly interested in what the U. S. might do for World Peace.

Finally they adjourned and went off to Manhattan for several days' entertainment before proceeding to Canada to hold wordy sessions at Ottawa.
