Washington, Jan. 16.-Establish-
ment of a separate state under the
protection of the United States for
the segregation of the nations

before the house judiciary commit
tee by representatives of the negro
race. The committee is considering
a resolution by Representative Ma
son, Republican, Illinois, providing
for the appointment of commits
sion of nine persons to outline
plans to promote more harmonious
relations between races dwelling
in the United States"
DR.. Moses Madden Of st. Louis
told the committee a state should
be established along the Rio
Grande river. on territory ceded by
Mexico and the state of Texas, and
that it should be inhabited and ad-
ministered entirely by negroes, un-
der the general protection Of the
United States.
DR.. w. H. Wilson and DR.. Nevil
Thomas Of this city opposed the
plan as tending too much toward
race discrimination, which, they
said. was already too evident, espe-
cially since the world war.

Plans to Trade Them

radical agitators deported from
America will be carefully examined
before they are permitted to enter
Russia, according to a statement by
M. klishke, secretary of the soviet
delegation at Dorpat, when inter-
viewed on the subject a short time
ago. M. klishke and his colleague
NJ. Benkendorff were asked what
Russia would do with the radicals
being sent to Europe on board the
soviet ark" Buford. They pro-
fessed to be uninformed on the sub
ject but said:
Soviet Russia will not allow it.
self to be used as dumping ground
for agitators from America"
Officials are still waiting at
Hango for some word relative to
the arrival Of the Buford but are
without information as yet.
Pending the result of negotiations
the Finnish government is believed
to be conducting with the Russian
soviet regarding the disposition OF
Emma Goldman and her party, they
will be kept on board. Arrange
ments have. been made, however, to
entrain the party for the Finnish
border and it is stated United States
immigration officials will accom-
pany them to the frontier.
Finland, in accepting custody OF
the party, is said to be planning to
use the prominent members for the
purpose of securing the exchange OF
Finnish political prisoners held in
soviet Russia.

New York, Jan. 16.-The purpose
of the League Of Nations, the coun-
ell Of which held its first meeting
in Paris today, was declared in the
covenant of the league to be ito
promote international cooperation
and to achieve international peace
and security. This was to be ac-
complished, according to the COW
enant, by the nations obligating
themselves not to resort to war;
by prescribin. open, just and hon
orable relations between them; by
establishing international law as
an actual rule Of conduct among
governments and BY maintaining
justice and scrupulous respect
for all treaty obligations.
Thrty-two nations became the
original members of the league
upon signing the treaty of peace.
These nations, as listed in the an
mex to the covenant were:
United States of America. Bel

Cuba, Ecuador. France, Greece,
Guatemala, Haiti, Hedjaz, Hondu-

may withdraw after two years no

Paris, Jan. 16.-Premier Georges

day in caucus of the senate and

candidate for the presidency Of the

from the contest and asked his sup
porters to cast their votes for the
reelection of President Poincaire
Senators and deputies, after the
caucus in which Paul Deschanel

premier by 10 votes, generally ex-
pressed the opinion that the vote
means the elimination from public

Two Views OF Outcome.
There were naturally two views
Of the defeat Of the premier who
for more than two years, by hi:
forceful personality and courage ha'
ruled both houses of the parlia

senators who was opposed to the
premier remarked:
IN. Clemenceau has been victor
ious against many attacks in tht
chamber and the senate in the pas
two years. This was because hs
was fighting for France. When ht
seeks personal honors, however, ht
goes down to defeat"

HOOVER NOT so
SURE THAT HE'S
A PROGRESSIVE
Has Been Exposed to Pol.
itics of Course, But 1t
Never ''Took."
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The ArguS.)

Washington. d. c., Jan. 16.-Her-
bert Hoover may or may not be a
candidate for the presidency, but
he has everybody in Washington up
tree as to what are his real in
tentions. One would have thought
that Julius Barnes. head Of the
United States grain corporation and
intimate friend and business asso-
ciate of Mr.. Hoover, would not
make a speech declaring the for
mer food administrator to be pro-
gressive Republican unless his
friend knew about it. One would
have thought that on an utterance
of such importance Mr.. Hoover
would naturally be consulted, but
the first impulse Of the distinguish
ed mining engineer who is nova
days the victim of so much politi-
cal publicity that he is actually un-
comfortable under the embarrass-
ment of it, was to squelsh the whole
business.
He happens to be at work here
on the industrial commission which
President Wilson recently appoint
ed and when news came over the
wires Of the speech by MIR. Barnes,
construed by many as formal
launching of the Hoover candidacy
the individual most affected won
dered if there were some way he
couldn't stop it.
Never took with Him.
He admits being progressive
with a small p" and was sympa-
thetic with the progressive move
ment, which in 1912 manifested
itself in the nomination of Theo-
dcre Roosevelt on the one hand
and Woodrow Wilson on the other
but as for being party man.
either as to Republicanism or De-
mocracy. Mr.. Hoover SHES at thu
word and naiyelY suggests to any
body who attempts to talk presi
Dental politics with him that th'
so-called movement in. his behalf
which appears to have so mucl
spontaneity throughout the coun
/ try is really an effervescent protest
against the politicians in both par.
ties-a negative movement, borr
more of resentment against the po'
litical ring than particular knowl'
edge of Mr.. Hoover's capabilities
/ for the high office of president.
And, naturally enough, Mr.. Hoov.
er can give you a dozen arguments
why he ought not be considered OF
even bothered about.
| Political reporters are usually
| familiar with the game of camou-
flage and modesty which would-be
candidate affect. The most puzzling
case of recent years was that ol
Charles Evans Hughes. who was
being spoken of for the presidency
while he was still justice of the
supreme court OF the United States
| Of course, nobody knows what was
going on in the mind of Justice
Hughes, but he gave every evi-
dence of sincerity in the early
spring months as he told would-be
boomers and campaigners that he
didn't believe, first, that there was
anything like the movement in MS
