NOTES FROM NATIONAL CAPITAL

own to the world. DIR. VIM c. Hunt
ington told the Overnan committee Of
the senate. Huntington was in Rus

while the Bolshevik leaders accepted
German money and were traitors to
Russia and the Allies. they had no
more sympathy with Germany's gov
eminent than with any other.
American thought needs reconstruct
ing, and it must come before industrial
reconstruction. So said Secretary of
Commerce Redfield, who admonished
the nation ito quit thinking war and
begin thinking peace"
In the next ten weeks industry, Ia
Dor and capital face this most critical
period. Redfield asserted. Its be-
tween hay and grass, between indoor
and outdoor work" he explained.
During that time the industrial prob
lem may grow more serious I'M
less the nations mind gets off of the
wark track onto the peace track" he
added.
All of this Redfield used in pointing
ont that prices must be scaled down
His plan for a price adjustment COM
nlittee awaits only the presidents
sanction. Committees from the vari-
Gus industries will be called in as soon
as the Red.ield plan is approved by
President Wilson.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant sec
rotary of the navy, is TO be U. S. am
bassador to Paris, was the report in
we'll informed circles. Roosevelt is
