THE REPUBLICAN RECORD OF FAILURE

Homer ). Cummings chairman of
the National Democratic Committee,
in his address at the Jackson Day
dinner in Washington, very appro-
priately reminded the American peo-
pie that I'VE are enduring, with what
patience we may, an interlude of Re-
publican incapacity," the reference
being to the Republican majority in
congress intervening between the
Democratic congress Immediately
preceding and, let US hope, to follow
as a result of the next November
elections.
THE American people said Mr..
Cummings, with patent truthfulness,
have paid, and are still paying, Z
staggering penalty for the election
of Republican house and senate in
November, 1918" for, he declared
"Since that time all the processes
of government have been impaired,
the work of reconstruction has been
delayed, the reconstruction and ex-
tension of American business has
been prevented and the peace of the
world has been postponed"
William G. McAdoo, former secre-
tary of the treasury and director
general of the railroad administra-
ton, in a written message to the
Jackson Day diners, and, through
them to the country, made similar
/ reference to the lamentable and
wretched showing Of incompetency
on the part of the present G. O. P.
congress.
Every citizen who reads and
thinks and forms conclusions knows
that Mr.. McAdoo gave expression 10
the truth when he wrote that the
important questions of social justice
which cry aloud for attention find
no spokesman or champion among
the Republican leaders"
Labor and capital" he declared,
have been in deadly grapple during
the past year Of unrest and discon-
tent, while the innocent public has
been forced to suffer. Soulless Re
publican leadership has stood indif-
ferently by, contening itself with re-
fusing peace to tortured world and
passing a few bills in the house Of
representatives granting tariff sub
sides to its masters, the favored spe-
cial interests. Nine months Of Re
publican leadership disclose no con
structive humanitarian or statesman
like act. 1t is sorry record Of dis
NAL failure
Even had the Democratic party no
record of achievement back Of it
but it has, and a remarkable one, the
most remarkable record Of big ac-
complishments that was ever piled up

Blames High Prices for
Rura-Urban Differences
Acting Governor Walker Urges
Closer Relationship Between
the CITY and Country

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, July 6.-Closer
relationship between urban and rural
residents o. the state in an effort to
reduce the high cost of living was
urged by Acting Governor Harry C.
Walker in an address at banquet here
tonight given by the city to the off
Gals Of cities attending the New York
State Conference of Mayors and other
City Officials.
After discussing the question of
state aid to obtain farm labor, he said l.:
~ believe there is wide discrep-
ancy between what it costs to produce
eatables and the prices for which city
folk purchase them for their tables.
This discrepancy if cquitably distri-
buted between the producer and the
consumer, in my judgment would soon
obviate the difficulties of each The
failure to equitably distribute the diff
ference I believe to be due to the mis-
understanding and disagreement be-
tween the 'urbanite" and 'ruralite'"
Acting Governor Walker urged that
the state fair be used in the solution
O. the cost Of living problem. He sug-
gested that the cities use the fair for
exhibition purposes and that the
Mayors Conference establish perma-
nent headquarters here. The fair com
mission, he said, ~ II be glad to desig-
nate a day as Municipal Day.

Japanese Ministers
Accused as Gamblers
Charge Made in House That
They Enriched Themselves
During Financial Panic

TOXIC, July 6.-There was consid-
cradle disorder in the House of Rep
resentatives to-day following charges
made by NJ Shimada that Minister of
Finance Takahashi and Minister of
Commerce Yamamoto had enriched
themselves by stock gambling, previous
to the recent financial slump. Shimada
based his accusations on newspaper ar
ticles, which alleged heavy sales of
sugar and shipping stocks.
Once" said M. Shimada, "the Vice
Minister of Commerce was forced tc
resign for accepting the gift of q
watch from the Stock Exchange, vet
members of the Cabinet remain in Of
flee despite conduct which ought tc
put them to shame"
The speaker further charged that
the government had been so eager tc
protect the interests of certain per
sons that it prevented publication OF
reports of runs on banks. M. Taxa
hashi vehemently denied the charges
of M. Shimada, while Premier Hara
characterized them as mischievous and
groundless newspaper rumors.

BERLIN, July 6.-Whlc all German
eyes are turned toward the conference
at Spa, Germany's hopes for favorable
decisions there are pitched at y low
key. All utterances from the Allied
side. especially those emanating from
Paris. are interpreted here as fore
shadowing no concessions from the
letter of the treaty, whereas the uni
versal opinion in Germany is that the
amount and terms Of the indemnity
payments mentioned latterly in con-
nection with the meetings at Hythe,
Boulogne and Brussels far exceed Ger
many's ability to pay.
What Germany can pay is the ques-
ton all economic authorities insist is
still unanswerable because it is i'm
possible to predict Gcrmany's economic
recuperation at a time when the coun-
try is still moving on the downgrade.
Germany's floating debt is still swell
ing to 3,000,O00,000 marks monthly and
many factors in the business situation
point to the still more critical con-

two or three months and continues un-

Factories, particularly textile and
shoe factories, have been compelled to
restrict production and to discharge
workmen. Manufacturers Of cotton
goods report that they are unable to
sell their product, although it is offered
at loss. Automobile manufacturers

factories running, especially as foreign

In view of the uncertain business
Developments and harder times threat
ening, German public opinion will
support Fehrenbach with practical
unanimity in declining to name spe-
cihc sum for PREPARATION payments or
to obllgate himself to pay yearly
quota. Some sections of the press
realize this policy may have serious
results and even contemplate the
possibility that the French may occupv

country pledged to make impossible

Bars Saghalien to New
Far Eastern Republic
Japan Probably Will Regard
Territory as Excluded Until
Commensurate for Macsocro

WASHt1NGTON, July 6 (By The AS
ISOLATED ress).-Japan is understood
to regard the province of Saghalien
as excluded from the territory to be
Incorporated in the newly founded
Eastern Siberian Republic, and it prob
ably will not submit to the entry of
any armed force into this province
until compensation has been received
for the massacre of the japanese
guards and civilians at Nikolaievsk.
information received here is that the
limits of the new Siberian Republic,
which lready has been recognized by
the Soviet government, probably viii
include the three provinces of Trans
Balkalia, Amur and the maritime prov
lnce, which includes Vladivostok. These
limits, however, remain to be defined
by boundary treaty
Relations between the Japanese gov
eminent and the new republic, it is
said, will depend entirely upon the &C.
ton of the Siberians themselves and
the decision on their part to assume
or repudiate responsibility for the
massacre at Nikolaievsk.

Shippers Representative
Asks Unified Rail Control
Thorne, Arguing Against Rate
Increase, Says Lines Admit
They Are Now Inefficient
From Tho Tribuuca Washington Burco

From Tho Tribunc'a Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 6-Assertinp
that the railroads were unable to func-
ton under private ownership, Clifford
Thorne, representing Western shippers
urged the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to- day to recommend unified
operation of the railroads under some
plan analogous to that created by the
railroads in 1917"
has been condemned by both railroads
and shippers as an "eXtravagant and
costly burden" Thorne declared that
only with some unified control will the
carriers be able to meet the present
demands.
The roads are here begging for the
most stupcndous rate increase ever
known in this or any other country on
the face of the earth,' Mr.. Thorne
SAID. Further, they state that they
have reached place in their opera
tions which might be called a condition
OF 'saturatiOn,' where more business
means a loss in net revenue instead Of
a gain. That is the most astounding
confession of inof'iciency that ever
have heard from the lins of railroad
man in recent years"
Whatever the trouble confronting the
carriers, whether it be the labor situa-
ton, shortage of equipment or other
difficulties, the remedy proposed is in
v1ariably an increase i'll rates, MIR
Thorne said
"ln the last three years of private
operations under the supervision Of
this commission and over forty state
commissions, the railroads of the
United States were experiencing he
most prosperous three year period in
their history" he continued.
