strong Leader Lacking.
. The most conspicuous feature of the
republican situation in this state is
the lack Of a strong leader. There is
district and regional leaders who are
directors, in every sense of the word.
Of their own respective domains, but
they acknowledge no overload. They
are the same men we have known for
years-William Barnes. jr.: Herbert
Parsons. Senator Calder. Koenig and
all the others.
Senator wadsworth is attending to
great national affairs at Washington,
and, it is complained, is not paying
enough attention to state politics. be-
yond watching his own senatorial re-
nomination. He could be a power il he
would unbend and get closer to the rank
and file. they say here; but he does not,
it is said. keep in personal touch even
with his own delegation in the lower
house nor with the local leaders. So in
the absence of a strong leader. such as
republicans used to have in Odell and
Platt and the others. there is presented
the spectacle of a sort of feudal political
system. collection of political barons.
it might be said, each keeping intact
his own bailiwick with his own re-
tanners and men-at-arms, ready to
follow as he directs.
''Never was the time more propi-
tious,' said one of these leaders, who
has a mighty powerful and potential fol-
lowing. "for a great leader to come for
ward and take hold OF the republican
party in New York, but he is not in
sight today"

BLISS WOU[DPO0[ (.
F0OD|N EUROPE

Europe's most urgent need today is
the pooling of its food supply and
the establishment of proper distribu-
ton facilities under q director gen.
eral. in the opinion Of Gen. Tasker
H. Bliss, a member of the American
peace delegation. who reached Wash
ington today from Paris.
Germany should be included in the
economic coalition. Gen. Bliss said.
With Germany excluded, he declared,
there would be an element of dis
content which would inevitably react
on the other countries.
Such an arrangement, Gen Bliss
said, would remove discomfort
strengthen morale and aid over their
formative period the new govern
ments which have been created as a
result of the war.
Gen. Bliss saw no possibility of
including Russia in the distribution
plan. but he said If the present So
called government Of that country
would play fair with the rest of the
world for thirty days and during that
time the general distribution of neces-
stiles could be worked to include
Russia" he believed the present situa-
ton in that country would be COM
pletely changed.
