Harvard Liberal Club
Called Anarchy Promoter
Providence Editor Asserts Half
Baked Idealists Are More Dan
gerous Than Ignorant Aliens

BOSTON, Jan. 29.-Membexs Of the
Harvard Liberal Club were attacked as
promoters of anarchy by John R. Ra-
thom, editor of "The Providence {R.I }
Journal" in an address before the
City Club tonight. Discussing *he
membership of that organization, ne
said
81 make no charge of deliberate de-
ception by men of this type. I simply
say they are composed, for the large
part. Of half-baked idealists who know
nothing of practical life, who play with
words without understanding what they
mean, and who, whether most of them
know it or not, are plowing the ground
for whatever fruitful seed those who
direct deliberate anafchy and confusion
are waiting to SOW.
"Men of this type, coming constantly
in contact with the minds of youth,
both boys and girls, their ideas and
ideals necessarily only half formed, are
unfortunately more dangerous to the
future peace and safety of the Republic
than any ignorant aliens can posi-
bly, be-"
Mr.. Rathom deprecated any agitation
that might result in Misunderstanding
between this country and England. He
said the sole purpose of the agitation
in this country on behalf of an Irish
republic was to embroii the United
States and Great Britain in war or in
lasting enmity.

drastic in the European nations than
here. Mr.. Glass said
THE remedy for the situation is to
be found not in the manufacture of
bank credit in the United States for
the movement of EXPORTS" Mr.. Glass
asserted. This process already has
proceeded too far. The remedy lies in
the actual movement of goods. of in
vestment securities and, in default of
goods or securities, then in gold from
Europe, and in order that such securi
ties may be absorbed by investors our
people must consume less; they must
work and save"
Relative to the solution of the ex-
change puzzle, Mr.. Glass warned that
this country could not continue to ex-
tend credits on a sufficient scale to
cover the present >swollen trade bal
ances while paying cash (gold and
silver) to LatinAmerican and Far East
ern traders What the European ma
tions need now, Mr.. Glass explained. is
"working capital rather than so much
bank credit
Then as solution for the intricate
situation-and with which it is men
toned incidentally the proposed con-
ference would be able to do nothing
more than discuss-Mr. Glass offers
the following:
"lf the peoples and governments of
Europe live within their incomes. in
crease their production as much as
possible and limit their imports to
actual necessities, foreign credits to
cover adverse balances would most
probably be supplied by private in
vestors and the demand to resort to
such impracticable methods rs govern
ment loans and bank credits would
cease.
There is no more logical or practi-
cal step toward solving their own re-
construction problems than for the
Allies to give value TO their indemnity
claims against Germany by reducing
those claims to a determinate amount
which Germany may be reasonably ex-
pected to pay and then for Germany
to issue obligations for such amount
and be set free to work it out This
would increase Germany's capacity to
pay, restore confidence and improve the
trade and commerce of the world. The
maintenance of claims which cannot be
paid causes apprehension and serves no
useful purpose"
The American government has done
all that it believes advisable and prac-
ticable to aid Europe, Mr.. Glass said
He pointed out that since the armistice
was. signed the Treasury has made di-
rect cash advances of $2,380, ,891 900 to
the Allied governments; it has made
available s736 6,481 900 to those govern
ments through the purchase of their
currcncies in covering our expendi-
lures in Europe; it has sold through
the army and navy approximately
s685.000,000 in supplies on credit, and
has extended approximately S100,000,-
900 in relief. In addition. he explained,
there has been allowed to accrue un-
paid interest aggregating $324,211 900.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. - Tho hi.
partisan conference on compromise res
ervatlons to th- league of nations
covenant was postponed again TO-DAY
because Senator Lenroot, one of the
Republican conferees, could not be
present. The conference will take place
tomorrow unless there is another Shift
in plans.
Neither Republican nor Democratic
conferees were certain tonight lust
what might be expected as a conse-
quence of the meeting. The Republi-
cans apparently still are determincd d
not to permit any changes in the res
ervation to Article X or the reserva-
ton relating to the Monroe Doctrine
II the Democrats insist upon changes
IN the wording of the Lodge reserva
TONS affecting these articles the con-
ferences may be abandoned and the
problem of settling finally the status
OF the peace treaty attacked in some
other way.
Senator Hitchcock, acting minority
leader, will leave Washington to-mor-
row f6r his home in Omaha, to be gone
at least week, and no definite move
tor settlement may be made in his
absence. If the Senator follows the
plan he outlined yesterday he is ex-
pected to serve notice upon the Repub-
llcans tomorrow of his intention to
make motion ten days from to-mor-
row to take the treaty up on the Senate
floor.
Senator Underwood, the only rival
of Senator Hitchcock for minority
leader, was back at the Senate to-day
for the first time this week. The
Senator said he was not inclined to
press his resolution for an official con-
ference committee of the Senate to
work out compromise reservations un-
less it became clear that the unoffi-
cia1 conferences would not be sue
cessful.
Senator Underwood said if this does
become evident he believes there is
an advantage in his plan over that of
banging the treaty on the floor in the
fa(s that the concilation committee
he .7roposes would be required to make
report to the Senate, which it might
be . expected to do quickly, showing
whether any agreement could be
reached This, he believes, could be
ascertained more speedily under the
conciliation plan than on the floor
where Senators opposed to changes ir

fication in any form could talk fol
