the old ministry's platform, and 1t
will be ours"
He received me at the Office Of the
ministry Of justice, which position
he is about to vacate In favor of
yiviani. and granted me an interview
prior to his visit to President Poin-
care at the palace.
Essentially vigorous and always
eloquent. he spoke more forcefully
than ever. Never have seen him
more determined.
Il desire the world to understand
that to thoroughly change the minis
TRY does not imply change Of pol

tinue firmly on with our allies, with
the common motto: Victory
For by victory alone will we win
permanent peace. No compromise Is
possible. We must enforce the right
Of every country to rule itself. with
each privileged to enjoy its own cul-
ture and. as You say in America. with
security Of life, liberty and property
against molestation.
It is generally believed that the
creation of the new ministry is q turn
ing point in the nations affairs. The
ministry's action will be primarily
devoted to conducting the war to a
successful issue.
BRAND is the man OF the hour and
Gallo optimism was never higher.
The nation sees in the coalition
forces the mingling of all political be-
liefs. and In the junction of youth
and age the prospect Of united. firm
action more complete than 1t has ever
had before.

to violate American neutrality by re-

given came as surprise to all con-

markable.
The case itself, aside from the
view Of its being test case, is one
of considerable importance" he said.
The position Of a country like the
United States, which is endeavoring
to sail straight course through
troubled waters is at best difficult
one. Those of'a foreign country who
come here to make their home in the

try as to the country they left.

WOULD MAKE FINE GUARDIAN
FOR THE STREET CAR MEN-NOT!

FOk lFk y kEk
''Be good and you'll be president"
That, in effect, is what Len Busby
and VIM. NJ. Weatherwax told the
car men from the witness chair at
the arbitration meeting yesterday.
BUsby and Weathewax painted in
glorious words the history of their
lives. They admitted that their lives
had been great and held themselves
up as a worthy standard from which
all youth should copy.
WeatheTwaX started his street car
career as a tow boy in the horsecar
days at $3.50 a day. He now gets
$4,000 year as superintendent of
transportation. None has ques-
toned the honor due him as a self
made man, but his attempt to show
that all car men might hold fond
hopes for $4,000 jobs provoked
much fun.
Busby's poverty start in the street
car service was as holder Of a $500
a-year job. Of course he was prob
ably able to pick up little on the side
as member of the law firm of Zane,
Busby & Weber Later, when Bus
by was president, this firm drew fees
as high as $4,000 from the Surface
Lines.
Perhaps if some car man lives long
enough he may be a $6O,OOO-a-year
Busby.
The ambitious car man might be
content to aspire to the position of
adviser" such as John M. Roach is,
and draw $4,000 a year, as Roach
does.
Busby, just before he left the stand,
had to admit that the wages paid on
lmunicipally-Owned systems were
higher than in Chicago. In San Fran
cisco the maximum is 3712 cents and
in Gary 35 cents. The company had
omitted these cities from. its table in
tended to show that Chicago car men

from the galleries. He said the men
were paid amply, in fact that the
hours were too short, that the men
were permitted to lay off too much
and that the company was too good
to it's men!
Weatherwax said the working day
should be increased to an average of
II hours and that but few holidays
should be granted, ito keep the men
out of mischief"
