OUR TOBACCO TOO GOOD.

Madrid, April 22-Ameriean pipe and cigarette tobacco is too good for the Spanish taste, according to rep- resentatives of the company holding the tobacco monopoly in Spain It is asserted the American government has offered a large amount of to- bacco from it's stores in France at an extremely advantageous price, but the monopolists have refused to take ad-' vantage of the bargain.
 The scarcity of tobacco in Spain was discussed in the Cortes this after noon, Deputy Nougues accusing the monopoIists of selling large quantities of Spanish tobacco in France and Italy at lower prices than prevail in this country. He said Spaniards were only occasionally able to obtain tobacco from stores, where long lines formed daily.

 BUILDING HOMES

Philadelphia, April 23---A cam Phi1adelphia's answer to the question of how to keep rents down to req sonabIe basis. The tenant population sin desperate straits for rents have been going higher and no end seems to be in. sight. The scramble for homes in the suburbs is so acute that when one woman moved some of the furniture out of her home, the other day, in order to clean the house 25 persons tried to rent it from her within a few hours.
 To stop the profiteering in rents and homes, several organizations are attempting to unite on a program of house building to continue for at least six months or until the shortage has been relieved. These organizations include Associations of Tenants, Trade Unions, representatives of the building trades and mortgaging com panies. They have been asked to un- dertake this work by the Department of Public Welfare.
 Meanwhile camping ground acces- Sible by street cars is in great de- mand. Tent manufacturers say more orders have been placed for tents this month than ever De1ore m FhlIaoel- phia's history.
 There is an unprecedented amount of building of cheap cottages and bungalows within radius of 30 miles of Philadelphia to accommodate the rush of tenants that is expected when mild weather comes. Those erected in one community cost about $500 each and are eagerly rented at $350 for the season.
 Old canal boats lying along the SchuyIkill river are being fitted out as dwellings and families are glad to rent them as temporary homes.

/. HARDlNGlANA

Senator Harding in his speech Sat
rrdav favored as substitute for
the League of Nations society"
or .tassociation or league OF free
nations" to act as great "ludicial
tribunal" AS nearly as it can he
identified from his description OF 1t
there is precisely that sort of judic-
ial tribunal now being constructed
as part of the machinery CT the
League of Nations. But he Will
have nothing to do with it because
of it's connection with the League
Of Nations. He rrefess to- set ur&a
new tribunal and to obviate any OBJ
lection to it on theascore of its M
potency because of its lack OF teeth
he proposes to appropriate, for It
the League tribunals teeth. Re
wont's have the League tribunal but
helL.take its teeth: although his own
tribunal furnished with the League
tribunals teeth, so far as he makes
himself understood would be Ire
same thing as the League tribunal
withits own teeth.
How he does abominate that WE
son. Big League. whose. teeth and
any other scrviceable belongings he
is willing to confiscate in fitting
out his Bush Leagne. lie opens his
speech by denounsigg i because he
says@if we had H'ensas hielnber of
it wesshould have been compelled
TO go to war in defense of Poland
OF Course we should have had to
do no, such thing. The Council CT
the League could not even "advlse
(and advise is the most it can doI
anybody to 60 to war without unan-
imous vote, and as we should have
vote in the Council we could not
be advised to resort to force
without our consent.
If we should be called upon to g"
TO wsr. he explains. we should have
to dosso OF "welch." "The American
people" he declares, "would never
permit = reputation of debt OF
honor. No Congress would ever
dare make this nation appear as
welcher. as it would appear and
would be in such an event before the
eyes of the world" 1t is to be
hoped that no future Congress would
make the nation appear as we!cher
but how we'll founded is that hope
in view Of the fact that the Senate
Of the present Congress has done
that very thing?
Condemn;ng in one part of his
speech the League Of Nations be-
cause it IS an instrument of OPP
pression of the weak by the power
ful, he condemns it in another part
because sit is utterly impotent.
1T is so obviously impotent that it
has never been tried" At the same
