JOSEPH MUST Be
REPLACED, SAYS
HERBERT HOOVER

Paris, August H.-Herbert Hoover,
head of the International Relief organ
ization, who has just returned from a
two weeks trip through Central Europe,
told American correspondents today that
it was imperative that decisive diplo-
matte action be taken Immediately to
displace Archduke Joseph as head OF the
Hungarian government and to give Hun
gary a chance to establish a popular
government.
The new countries of Central Europe,
Mr. Hoover said, are terroriZed by the
tolerance shown toward the setting up
of the Hapsburg government in Hun
gary.
Mr.. Hoover, who left Vienna Monday
night, appeared today before the SUI
preme council, and made his comments
on the Hungarian situation to Ameri-
can newspapermen after he left the
council meeting.
In discussing the Hungarian situa-
ton Mr. Hoover asserted that Archduke
Joseph's resignation could be forced
within five days If the supreme council
took firm stand. but that bloodshed
would result If such action was post
poned for month.
The United States could prevent the
restoration of the Hapshurgs, Mr.
Hoover said, by refusing to recognize
or deal with such a government. Ii
was beyond the endurance of any red
blooded American, he said, to see his
government tolerate the restoration oil
the Hapsburgs as the United States en-
tered the war to Danish from the world
that for which the Hapsburgs and the
Hohenzollerns stood.
! The Rumanians, Mr. Hoover added
still were requisitiong Hungarian food
| Only yesterday. he said, the Ruman-
| ians, under the eyes of American Off
GERS, seized eight truck loads of med
ical supplies and food destined for the
children's hospitals of Budapest. pay

ence by Nicaragua in Costa Rican af-
fairs and that the state department
repeatedly had urged Nicaraguan Of
ficials not to make any such interfer-
ence. The Presidents message was in
Folette, republican, Wisconsin.
Answering another part of the same
resolution with reference to why Costa
Rica was not permitted" to sign the
peace treaty, though she had declared
war on Germany, the President said
the Tinoco government in Costa Rica,
having never been recognized even in
defacto sense by the United States,
was considered legally non-existent"
and therefore not to be treated as
beliigerent.
Tie President transmitted statement
by Secretary Lansing declaring the
United States has consistently used its
best efforts TO maintain peace in Cen
trail America" and had made the fol-
lowing representation to Nicaragua on
the subject:
On November 1, 1913, the President of
Nicaraga was ked to exercise his good
offices no prevent any revolutionary &C
tivibes in that country directed against
Costa Rica:
On January %, 1913, reiterating the po-
stion taken in the previous note;
On April 20, 1919 expressing the hope
that Nicaragua would be guided in this
matter by the considerations of inter-
national comfy and,
On May %, 1919, urging Nicaragua to
remain neutral in any conflict between
General Tinoco and his enemies and to

The Demand for
Oil is Increasing
and so are Profits

We are living in an coil age" No
motors-nor machinery of any kind
could run without this precious fluid
And the demand for it is ever in
creasing, and will steadily increased
This is not merely prophecy. 1t is
fact. Just as one illustration; Every
ship built for the merchant marine,
during or since the war, is equipped
with oil-burning boilers or combina-
ton coal and oil burners. This in it
self proves the above statement
With demand ever increasing-the
price is ever advancing. Who are get
ting those profits? The people who
have something to do with the pro-
duction or refining of oil! The great
profits go to those who take the oil
from the earth at no charge other
than the expense of doing so--and
sell it at the market price. Hundreds
of millions of dollars are made each
year in OIL-right close to you--in
Texas land much of that by Arkansas
people). Why don't you get some of
that money?

PRESIDENT URGED
PROTECT FOREIGN
COMMERCE OF j. S.

Washington, August H.-President Will
son has been urged in letter from Sem
ator Owen. Oklahoma, ranking demo-
cratic member of the Senate banking
committee. to take steps to protect the
foreign commerce of the United States
and bring about an extension OF credit
to cover European purchases. The let
ter as inserted today in the record, also
proposed that means be provided to pass
upon the validity Of European securities
offered for sale in the United States.
UNLESS immediate steps are taken"
Senator Owen said, ito accomplish these
results. fear a serious business reaction
will take place in the United States by
cutting off a large part of our foreign
market for our surplus products, throw
ing these products back in the United
States and causing very serious re-
cession of prices due to overproduction.
I agree that prices should come down
but the reduction should be by the elm
jnation of excess profits artificially
placed upon goods. and they should not
come down by cuttirg down the wages
paid to labor.
There is natural increase in wages
in the United States due to the expan-
sion of our currency by excess gold
imports and the development OF FEDERAL
reserve notes against commodities
which have taken the place of gold as
a basis OF note issue.
Senator Owen, in his letter, declared
the New York banks have opposed bills
pending in Congress which they
claimed would deprive them of the OPP
portunity to speculate in foreign ex-
change, and added:
II am opposed to their speculation
to the injury of our industries and
commerce and / allege that they have
made millions out OF speculation in
foreign exchange to the disadvantages
of American commerce and to the dis
advantage of the American producers
and the American consumers alike. I
allege that their interest is a private
interest and that they are not con-
cerned to deal with the matter from
the public standpoint"
Senator Owen asked the President to
request the Secretaries of the Treasury
and Commerce and the federal reserve
board to submit recommendations as
to what shall be done to protect the
foreign commerce of the United States
and stabilize international exchange
with a view to submitting such reports
and recommendations to Congress

SIR THOMAS
COMING AF TER CUP
Famous Yachtman is Seri-
ously at Work on Plans
for Next eYar

London, July Correspondence of
to London from America, Sir Thomas
Upton has set about the task of COM
pleting his arrangements for next years
contest for the America cup in earnest,
says the Yachting World. The most i'm
portant decision so far arrived at, Sir
Thomas told a writer in that periodical,
is to send the 23-metre Shamrock to
America early next year to act as a
trial boat in the tuning UP spins of the
challenger, Shamrock ". Asked who
would have charge of the British boat,
Sir Thomas replied w. p. Burton had
consented to sail the challenger in the
race for the America cup, and also take
charge of the 231metre Shamrock.
Naturally, he will have his own pro
fessional skipper" Sir Thomas added.
"Mr. Burton will also be responsible for
engaging the crews of both boats, and,
in fact, he will be in entire charge of the
whole of the trials and the actual races
on the other side. Charles E. Nicholson,
her designer, is going over at an early
date for the purpose of thoroughly exam
lining Shamrock W."
do you think any alterations are
likely otto be made in herr" Sir Thomas
was asked.
THAT is a matter which I am leaving
entirely to Mr.. Nicholson's judgment.
Many experienced yachtsmen are OF opin-
ion that Shamrock ~ is far and away
the best boat / have ever had to repre-
sent me in this great contest"
IF you lose this time, will you chal-
lenge again?''
Il have the greatest hopes that / shall
be successful in this my fourth attempt
to bring home the cup, but IL | am not
, successful l can only say that l shall
give Mr. Nicholson an order to build an
other boat"

GRATIFYING RESPONSE

= a
THE President and the government
of Nicaragua Secretary Lansing wrote.
have responded in a gratifying man
ner to the requests for their co-opera-
ton, and the efficacy of the steps
taken to preserve peace in Central
America is indicated by the fact that
the government of the United States
with defensive forces by any armed
forces seeking to enter Costa Rica
from Nicaragua, or Nicaragua from
Costa Rica"
| Mr.. Lansing's statement regarding
Costa Ricas position in the peace can
| ference follows:
I'm view of the fact that the gov
eminent of the United States has not
| recognized the existence in the repub-
| lie of Costa Rica of a de jure or even
4 a legitimately de facto government but
holds that only the people of Costa
4 Rica can as a moral force set up in
| that country government constitu-
/ tional in character and duly sanctioned
| by law, it follows naturally that the
| government of the United States could
not recognize as legally existent any
manifestation of such a government.
ITO declare war is one of the highest
acts of the sovereignty. The govern
ment of Costa Rica, being for the gov
eminent of the United States legally
| non-existent, 1t follows that so FAR as
the government of the United States is
concerned, no state of war could exist
between Costa Rica and the Imperial
! German government. Obviously there
could be no question so far as this rs
concerned as to signining with Costa
Rica the treaty of peace at Versailles. =
