The New York World says: "There
is only one constitutional method of
terminating a war, and that is by the
negotiation and ratification of Urea
ty of Peace between the belligerents. /"
The Constitution says nothing about
terminating war;" or how it shall be
accomplished. The World should
know this, yet refuses to state that
fact. Also the World refuses to state
that he Constitution says the Presi-
dent shall have the power to negotiate
Treaties but such Treaties shall be
ratified by two-thirds of the Senators
voting. There is nothing in the Con-
stitution sto prevent Congress from
declaring peace by resolution. Peace
by Treaty is only custom--not q
constitutional provision.

In spite Of all the propaganda which
has been circulated about the appro-

mains that Greeks and Armenians own

business property on the prominent
streets In Constantinople and many of
them have been more successful at
war proflteering than Turks.
The leading hotel OF Constantine

great fortune selling supplies to the
German army. He has invested his
money in hotels in various parts of

NEW YORK--China, for centuries
the unprogressive nation whose glory
was in the past, is fsrging ahead in
business ways that remind one of ag-
gressive American progress, William
p. Bancker, general purchasing agent
of the Western Electrict Company, de-
, clared here in resume of trade in
vestigations he had made during six
months tour Of the world.
China presents a most fertile field
for American enterprise" he said,
Despite an occasional military effort
by some small minority, that nation
is hive of industry. Labor seems
plentiful and. what is more important,
cheap. In fact the latter feature is so
true that capital has a clear way for
productive plans and new fields of eff
fort.
The Chinese business men, espec-
iaIiy those who have been educated
abroad, are adopting American and
British methods and aus forging
ahead. Exchange Is working to the
advantage of China because of the rise
in value of silver bullion, which works
to the benefit of the big republic in
it's position in other countries"
India. ancient land of mystery, also
is making big strides commercially.
with Americans there as in other far
eastern territory laying foundations for
future trade, Mr.. Bancker said. The
Hindo is beginning to make himself an
important factor in business and poll
tical circles, he continued, adding:
TT is remarkable how the average
Asiatic as a result of foreign educa-
tional processes seems to be losing his

tisn. Today you find him in positions
of importance. competing with all
sorts of foreign conditions"
Reverting to China, Mr.. BanclSer
said
"One fact that Americans have to
their. advantage in China is the boycott
which exists against Japanese and
German relations. The. Combined
Chinese chambers of Commerce have
gone on record as declaring 1o-year
boycott against Germany and because
OF racial differences it is very improb-
able whether Japan will ever get
really strong fooihold. Australia has
been quick to jump into this breach
and is now supplying quantities OF
foodstuffs which the Chinese use, but

Substantiate Theory Of

New York. May s.-The follow
ing statement was issued tonight
by the Hoover National Republican
Club here:
The result Of the primaries In
California reinforces our determine
tion to bring about the nomination
of Mr.. Hoover at the Chicago con-
yention. The large vote cast for
Mr.. Hoover in these primaries
demonstrates the soundness Of the
theory upon which this organiza-
tion has been proceeding.
From the frst the Hoover Ma
tional Republican Club has held
that there is a great and nation
wide sentiment. favoring Mr.. Hoo
vcr's nomination. Mr.. Hoover's
vote in California win approximate
10000. The fact that q few weeks
work by volunteers resulted in the
polling of such a substantial vote
for M. Hoover proves that we were
correct.
This morning we had several in
quiries over the telephone as to
what Mr.. Hoover was going to do.

column.
The low vote obtained by Lowden,
Of Illinois and Harding, of Ohio
each Of whom abuts Indiana terri
tory-was a surprise in Washing
ton, and by experts is considered a
demolishing surprise as far as the
prospects OF those two, candidates
are concerned. The Hoosier vote is
said to demonstrate that they are
prophets without honor in their own
particular neck of the country.
Point to Knox's Record.
Republican leaders. by and large,
feel that events conspire to show
that Philander C. Knox is the man
upon whom supporters of rival can
didacies can and will agree.
In Washington today the Knox
candidacy was thus epitomized: He
Is sound on the treaty; he is the
Republican party's most expert
enced expert on International af-
fairs; he is a man Of affairs; he
has a. progressive record; he has
never taken part in movements
which encompassed Republican de-
feat of the Republican party at a
national election; he would be
safe" from the standpoint of the
close-corporation sort of govern
ment which the Republican organi-
cation most admires; he would work
with the Senate as q brother and
comrade-in- arms.
During the five hectic weeks inn
pending between now and conven-
tion time at Chicago. many things
may happen to upset present-hour
calculations. But written in the
stars as they twinlSled above the
Capitol dome last night political
astrologers saw only the names of
Philander c. Knox and Hiram w.

scope.
