complete or so disastrous if our insti-
tutions had not given this country,
during the most, critical period of the
worlds history, a government divided

Of effective leadership in national or
international affairs.
"At this most critical moment in the
history Of Europe, when financial and
economic stake in Europe's affairs is
so great that disaster there could
mean only disaster here, many Of our
own people dave turned gamblers and
wasters. For plain living and high
thinking we have substituted wasting
and pickering. We enjoy high living,
while we grumble at the high cost of
living"
There is only one remedy, Mr.. Lef-

together, stop pickering and face the
critical situation which confronts the
world as we should a foreign war;"
Government expenditures "must be
cut to the quick" he said, and "we
must abjure bonuses and realize
promptly on all saleable war assets
including ships. applying the proceeds

Not a great deal is heard just now
of Herbert Hoover, but his chances as
a compromise candidate are not in
jured by the remarkable retraction
made by the Providence Journal and
spread broadcast throughout the coun-
try. That paper had asserted that
Hoover was really Wilson's heir and
stood for the presidents ideas on ma
tional and international affairs, and
that he was being supported for the
Republican nomination by those of
the Wilson coterie who wished to see
their doctrines hold on even though
their party was ousted from the White
House. The Journal now admits its
mistake, affirms its full belief in his
sincerity and declares positively his
opposition to the political, economic,
industrial and international policies of
the president" The fight between
Hoover and Senator Johnson for the
California delegation has been await
ed with the greatest interest

nomination. Primaries or state con-
ventiOns were held in New Jersey,
Ohio, Massachusetts. Washington, Mis-

these was in New Jersey. where Gen.
eral Wood and Senator johnson were
contesting for the delegation. The gen.
eral came out ahead by about 1000
votes, and the senator's campaign
manager announced that a recount
would be asked in Essex, Gloucester,
Morris and Camden counties. There
were vague charges of crooked work.
The delegates at large will be Sera-
tors Edge and Frelinghuysen, pledged
to support the choice of the people, as
shown by the primary, and E. G..
Stokes and W. N. Runyon, pledged to
Wood. Of the district delegates it
was likely Wood would have eleven

When the supreme council came to
the settlement of the dispute over the
enforcement of the German treaty Pre-

tory. Backed to a degree by Lloyd
George, he was able to convince Pre-
mier Nitti that it was necessary to
warn Germany that the allies were
ready to take all measures, even to the
military occupation of more German
territory, to assure the carrying out
of the treaty of Versailles. A stiff
note was sent to Berlin saying the al
lies cannot even consider the German
request for an army of 100000 as long
as Germany fails to meet the most i'm
portant obligations imposed by the
treaty, and adding the warning of
forcible action. The council said, how
ever. that it "does not seek to impose
too narrow an Interpretation of the
treaty." and instructed Berlin to send
the chiefs of the government to Spa
on May 25 for an exchange OF views.
If the Germans then can make salts
factory explanations and propositions,
the council will be willing to discuss
questions that affect the internal or
