VOL. XII. NO. 2. SEATTLE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922. PRICE 10 CENTS "INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS" SUBJECT OF DR. RICHARDSON'S ADDRESS Dr. Oliver H. Richardson, professor of history of the University of Washington, addressed the Municipal Leag"ue last Tuesday noon on the subject of "International Relations"; the subject, however, being modified by Dr. Richardson at the meeting place to read, "How to Study the Subject of International Relations. Dr. Richardson said in part: '"No occurence has affected the minds of men as has the Washington Conference, but interest in international affairs should not be spasmodic but sustained. "The study of international affairs is vital to the Republic— especially so to England and the United States, because these are self-governing communities; because 'there is law above the King which he must obey." "While the complete control of international relations is in the hands of a few, nevertheless, the electorate must be instructed in the isshes. The details must be worked out by experts, but the broader policy by Congress and by the sustained interest of the people. The great thing to be secured u a continuity of policy; without this no nation can expect to have respect of other nations oi :he world. The following points must be borne in mind: 1. The growing independence of nations. ' 2. "America first", to be sure—■ by all means, but not Americs only. By that is meant that we must be good Americans but also we must be good citizens of the world. 3. It is our duty to increase the world unity and solidarity.
