JOHNSON SCORES
WILSON'S ACTION
IN F|UME AFFAIR

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3
Senator Hiram johnson Of Califor.
MA issued a statement today in
which he openly charges President
Wilson with reversing his stand
upon the question of secret treaties.
The senator points out, in mis-
statement, that the dispute between
the Italians and the Jugo Slavs, re
garding Fiune and the Dalmatian
coast, resulted from secret treaty
between the Allies and Italy, and
that similar conditions governed the
Japanese claims 10 the Shantung
peninsula and the late German pos
sessions in he Far East
He charges President Wilson with
surrendering to Japan without a
contest in the matter Of the secret
treaty between England and Japan,
while taking a firm stand in the
matter of the Fiume dispute
The first clause in the American
peace terms, as laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson before joint session
Of Congress, on January 8, 1918, is
as follows:
Open covenants Of peace, open
ly arrived at, after which there
shall be no private international un-
derstandings of any kind, but diplo-
macy shall proceed always frankly
and in the public view"
This and the other thirteen ar
ticles Of the American peace terms
were accepted by all the warning
nations, and, Senator johnson says,
it is hard to reconcile Wilson's ac-
ton in giving in to the Japs ard
denying the Italians.

KENTUCKY PLAYS GREAT PART
IN JEWISH RELIEF.

The $250,0oO which Kentucky
contributed to the American Jewish
Relief Committee in the State cam
paign from April IL to 10, is helping
buy a new lease of life for hundreds
of thousands of hungry children and
starving adults in the countries of
Eastern Europe, according to reports
just received in New York from DR..
Boris Bogen, an American Relief
Commissioner in Warsaw, Poland.
These reports have been made public
by the American Jewish Relief Com
mittee.
More than 100000 have been
spent since January 1, by American
Jewish Relief agencies in relief
work in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Pal
estine, Siberia and the Balkins. 1t is
not too much to say that this sum
has saved the Jewish race from ex-
termination in Eastern Europe, as
well as brought help to thousands
of non-Jews. It has brought the
starving people there shipments of
food, milk stations, soup kitchens,
hospital aid, medicines and clothing.

NOT LIKELY TO REDUCE PRICES
OF AUTO TIRES.

Automobile owners who received
with much joy the announcement
some weeks ago of a first cut in tire
prices, and were given to understand
that further cuts would be made
during the summer months, are to be
disappointed in the latter respect.
Word from the big tire producing
sections is to the effect that the big
tire companies have abandoned plans
for making further reductions in
prices during midsummer.
When, late in April, a fifteen per
cent. cut was definitely agreed upon.
it was tentatively decided to make
another cut within several months,
in order to keep the industry on a
healthy basis, with respect to mar
gin profits. md to give the consum-
er the best break considering the
benefits of lower rubber costs.
OF late, however, the cost of cot,
ton. fabric has been advancing to
such an extent as to preclude a re,
duction in prices any further for fin.
ished tires. Consequently, the larger
producing companies will maintain
a standpat policy as to tires. resting
on present prices.
