WALSH, BRYAN
ARMORED FOR
DOUBLE ONSET
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.


this convention are set down as
anti-Wilson. l am not and never
have been anti-Wilson. I have
supported loyalty every one of the
Presidents domestic issues. / think
the platform should contain a most
vigorous Endorsement Of the Wilson
administration In SO far as 1t per-
tains to affairs at home, but 1t
should not indorse his mistaken
zeal for a cause which Is contrary
to all principles of 'Americanism."
Bryan Makes Appearance.
Close on the heels of Senator
Walsh came William Jennings
Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan will gather about him
his following of many years stand
ing and such other forces in the
party who do not agree with the
President and Homer s. Cummings
that condemnation Of the Senate
reservations as nullifying reserva-
tions should be written into the
platform regardless of the conse-
quences for Democratic Senators
who voted for them.
The Bay State Senator leads the
forces OF New ngland and the Irish
freedom advocates who believed the
league covenant sought to under
write British subsection of Ireland
for all time.
"On my may across the country l
| found q very strong sentiment
| against accepting White House die
tation in this convention" Senator
Walsh said. Il met delegate after
delegate who believed with me that
Endorsement of the Presidents stand
on the league of nations means dis
aster to the party.
Apparently the administration
forces are concentrating their ener-
gies on the Virginia plank. have
rot read that, but I assume it in
dorses the votes Of the Virginia
Senators-Mr. Glass and Mr.. Swan
son-on the league in the Senate.
Had 1t indorsed the real sentiments
of at least of one Virginia Senator 1
could accept the plank. because one
Of them coufded to me that in his
heart he knew I was right in the
tight 1 made in the Senate. uBt II
the plank Endorses the position he
actually took 1 can safely say that
/ will fight IL to the'last ditch.
Likes C. o. p. League Plank.
81 favor a league of nations
plank which reads substantially as
that of the Republicans. thus re-
moving the issue from the election
where 1t has no proper place. We
can then go before the country on
the accomplishments of the Demo-
Cratic party in the past eight years,
and the promise OF continuing pro-
gressive government. am quite
sure a league plank can be writ
ten upon which every Democrat can
stand without compromising his
conscience.
do you realize that throughout
this long debate only one man. the
President himself, has declared for
ratification without reservations.
We can stand back Of the Lodge
reservations. We need not call
them that. for Senator Lodge can
not claim the sole proprietorship OF
them. You fellows who were In
the Senate press gallery last win
ter had your troubles trying to dis
cover the difference between the
Lodge reservations and those pro-
posed by Senator Hitchcock.

Plan to Enlist
 12,OOO in Legion

Los Angeles, Cal, June 19-A plan to enlist 12,000 American Legion dem bers in Los Angeles in a campaign to reduce the high cost of living, under the direction of the city markets bu- reau was recently announced by May or Meredith P. Snyder.
 The mayor said he proposed to close the city's chain of markets to the sale of produce which has gone through the hands of middlemen. Farmers in surrounding territory, under the pro posed system, would be invited to send their produce direct to the market. and aid furnished them to do so by the ctiy if necessary.
 "The success of this plan would de pend upon there being an immediate sale of the products" the Mayor con tinued. "To that end we intend tc lay our plans before the two local posts of the Legion and ask the mem bers to help secure customers The result, I am confident, will be that 1 the farmers will get much better prices and the consumers will get better food at less cost than they d. now.'
 The mayor has appointed Sterling s. Boothe, formerly major of the 160ti infantry U. s. A., city market commis. soner to work out the project.

Would Admit China in the Proposed
 Anglo-Jap Pact

Pekin, June 19.-China should be admitted as member of the Anglo Japanese alliance, thus making it Triple alliance for the Far East, ac- cording to the conclusions reached by
 the Peking and Tien-Tsin Times nj a lengthy series of articles dealing with the approaching renewal of the An glo-Japanese pact. The paper says:
 "The treaty should be modified in- solar as necessary to make China party. It is serious departure from the usual practice in international re-
 lations for two Powers to enter into an agreement respecting the interests of third power without the latter's assent and one which in our view
 ought not in this instance, to be per petuated. The inclusion of China in what would then become Triple al liiance for the preservation of peace Tn the Far East and the maintenance of her integrity and independence and of the principle of equal opportunities for the commerce and industry of all nations. would constitute the most et- fective guarantee that nothing affect ing her welfare would be done by either of the other parties without tull and frank consultation with her"
 Besides the admission of China to
 the pact, the Times proposes serles of conditions in the renewal of the al liance, by which China shall be sate-
 guarded. One of these would bring about the restoration of China's sov- ereignty over the Liao Tung penln-
 sula. including Port Arthur, and the
 revision of the South Manchuria rail-
 road to Chinese control, at the explra' ton of definite period. Other con-
 ditions proposed are summarized as l follows:
 "The independence of China today is
 violated by the presence upon her so1l
 of foreign garrisons other than the
 troops provided for under the l9ol
 protocol and the limited number or
 railway guards permitted for the guarding of the South Manchurla and
 Chinese Eastern railways. Great Brit ain should insist, therefore, as con-
 dition precedent to the renewal or the alliance upon the withdrawal or ali
 Japanese troops on Chinese soll whose presence is not provided for treat
