PREDICTION OF new
FOREIGN POLICY
UNDER Mr.. COLBY

fContinued from First Page.)
here who actually look forward to a
financial crash as a result of the chaos
in Germany and the reluctance of the
United States to put her shoulder to
the wheel and assist, through the
league of nations, in the enforcement
and operation Of tho peace treaty. All
the economic Ills that may visit this
country between now and next au-
tumn are to be blamed by the demo.
Gratis on the treaty situation. and
that's why they hardly will aid in get
ting a joint resolution through Con-
gress to simplify matters. though
there are some folks in administrati tion
circles who believe that the passage
of a joint resolution would be helpful
in defining exactly, by a process of
elimination, how much responsibility
for economic troubles can be attribut-
ed to the failure of the Senate to rati-
fy a treaty or participate in the league
Of nations.
The republicans are not a bit feazed
by this, for. though some Of them ad-
nit, as Senator Harding did. that the
benefits to be derived by the ratisfica-
ton Of the treaty with reservations are
now lost, they will continue to insist
that the responsibility for the whole
business lies entirely in the uncom-
promising disposition Of the democratic
Incumbent Of the White House.

COMMISSIONER APPEALS
FOR GIFT TO FRANCE"
Washington's Quota of $1,000 Is
More Than Half Subscribed,
SAYS Mr., BroWnlow

Commissioner Brownlow today ap-
pealed to the people of the District to
complete their quota Of $1,000 toward
the $250.OO0 fund being raised
throughout the United States for the
erection of a statue on the Marne bat
tlefeld. in France. The appeal from
the Commissioner follows:
Throughout the United States
there Is being subscribed this week
the S250,000 fund through which the
American people will erect on the
Marne battlefield the colossal McMon-
'nies statue. Americas Gift to France.
This tribute Ia Of unusual significance,
for. reciprocating the gift OF the
statue of Liberty to this nation by
the French people, it is a solemn re-
affirmation Of the historic friendship
existing between the two great re-
publics. and. further. an enduring
memorial of the valor that turned
back the Germans in the first battle
of the Marne and token of the admi-
ration our people hold for that epoch
al stand by the French arms.
ut is fitting that the people of the
National Capital should participate in
this important undertaking. More
than one-half of the city's small
quota of $1,000 already has been sub
scribed. and take this means of ask
ing the public at large to contribute
within their means to the early COM
pletton Of Washington's share of the
fund. All contributions should be
sent to the treasurer of the District
Of Columbia committee, John Poole.
