bellion. Alvarado has since de-
clared that CarranZa soldiers were
deserting to Villa and the deser-
ton Of the troops in Chihuahua
was said to be the result Of Villa 5

Villas present duty in the Obre-
gon revolt is to engage the feder-
ais in the state OF Chihuahua and
prevent Carranza from directing

lead an expedition against Mexico

ried successfully, it was said.

Herbert Hoover has Just taken .
step that has satisfied the Provi-

party to any plan or conspiracy by
which the Wilson administration
was planning to perpetnate its poll.
cies. And the Providence Journal
has published an editorial declar-
ing that after examining proof sub
mitted by Mr.. Hoover, it is glad to
tell its readers that there is no
truth in any suggestion Of collu-
sion (between the White house and
Mr.. Hoover) and that there is an
entire lack of sympathy ON Mr..
Hoover's part Of the political,
economic. industrial and interna-
tional policies of the president"
This makes it possible to disclose
for the first time some of the cir
cumstances about which the story
was constructed of collusion be-
tween Mr.. Hoover and the White
house. Indeed, largely because the
New York World, which has been a
staunch supporter of President Will
son, came out for Mr.. Hoover for
president ON either the Republican
or Democratic tickets and largely
because members of the Wilson ad-
ministration did not conceal their
enthusiasm for Mr.. Hoover, the con-
clusion was Immediately drawn Of
q Democratic plot to divide the Re-
publican party.
Didn't Want Support.
But the truth is Herbert Hoover
tried to prevent the New York
World from coming out in his be-
half. And ne did not court the
support of Democratic officials or
politicians. The writer has been
told both by Frank l. Cobb, editor
of the New York World, and Her
bert Hoover himself the facts of a
conversation that preceded the edi-
torial announcement by the World
(which caused such q sensation in
American politics.
Mr.. Hoover learned of the inten-
ton Of the New York World few
days before its announcement was
made and promptly telephoned to
Mr.. Cobb whom he had known in
timately for many years suggesting
that it would be unwise for the
World to come out for him on the
Democratic ticket. Whereupon Mr..
Cobb replied that it wasn't the
Worlds intention to support him
on the Democratic ticket alone, but
that it was for him on either ticket.
But" protested MIR. Hoover,
you don't know my views-you
don't know when l might give my
opinion OF the administration poll
cies and you might be embar-
rassed -"
Mr.. Cobb good naturedfy told the
former food administrator not to
worry about that He reminded him

New York, April S0.--Bankers
educators and economists of the
United States and Europe discussed
the facts and causes Of imitation and
high prices and their remedies, at
the semi-annual meeting of the
Academy of Political Science, which
opened here today.
DR.. B. NJ. Anderson, Jr-, OF the
National Bank of Commerce, New
York, speaking at the forenoon ses-
sion, declared that the shortage OF
goods and the attendant specula-
ton is the prime cause of present
high prices in this country.
Puts Blame on Exports.
When our enormous export bal
ance disappears and when our do
mestic markets are called upon to
absorb three or four hundred mil
lion dollars worth of goods per
month which they have not been
absorbing, we shall see lower
prices" he declared.
The speaker said that increased
production had been expected when
the five million men withdrawn
from industry for the army and
navy returned, but that it had not
come.
Construction the Cure.
Construction, rather than recon
struction is the great task confront
