National Economic League votes on world affairs
About 1200 members of the National Economic League Council including many leading Americans took part in a referendum on international issues. A large majority support the French Ruhr occupation to collect reparations, endorse a world court, join the League of Nations with reservations, and back an international conference on war finance. Slightly more than half favor limiting interest on U.S. war debts to 3 percent.
