Inquiries of Harding on
Policy Not Met.

Democratic Candidate Does

BY ROBERT T. BARRY.

Copyright. 1870, by Public Ledger Coz
Senator Harding's pointed inqui
ries as to the foreign policy of his
rival remain. for the most part, un-
answered. Gov. Cox. in his accep-
tance speech. did not mention espe
cially, nor respond directly. to the
set of questions propounded by his
opponent, and his general state
ments covering the ratification Of the
treaty Of Versailles did not cover
them.
Gov. Cox declared for consumma-
ton of the pledges made by the
President with respect to the provi-
sions of the treaty. but his language
was not such as to permit OF the
| broader Interpretation that he would
assume without qualification the en-
barrassing legacies Of the Adriatic
and Thracian controversies. Those
| provisions are not in the treaty Of
/ Versailles the disposition Of Fiume
! having been a part of the Austrian
treaty. left for settlement by the al
| lies and the United States, and the
| Greco -Bulgar claims to Thrace were
for adjustment in the Turkish
treaty, to which the United States
was not signatory.
Supports Full Spirit of League.
More leisurely reading of the Cox
speech of acceptance rather gave
the impression here that the Demo-
cratic nominee did not agree to
sponsor everything that the Presi-
dent urged in the treaty debates,
although he left no doubt as to his
sincere support of the full spirit Of
the league of nations covenant Cox
was careful not to enter upon dis
Cussion of specific reservations, nor
to indorse or reject anyone Of the
fifteen reservations in the Lodge
program. He did what Democratic
leaders had hoped for many months
| they might be able to do-have the
campaign issue one of league or no
league"
Senator Harding. having refrain
ed, as did the platform of the Chi
cago convention, from declaring
either for or against ratification of
the treaty with the Lodge reserva-
tions, but rather indicated hostility
even to carrying out as President a
.
Gov. Cox is regarded as having
taken the safer ground of declaring
for reservations that did not nullify
the covenant His statement, it was
pointed out here, would have to be
considered in the full light of what
"interpretative" reservations came
to mean in the Senate fight
Points Out Harding League Failure.
Having been removed from the
beclouded atmosphere of Washing
ton during the hair-splitting DIS
tinctions over the wording of reser-
vations. Gov. Cox. opinion here con-
tends, has found that the general
public was not greatly concerned
and not at all familiar with the
differences between various reser-
vations suggested by Democrats and
Republicans. Accordingly, 1t is felt,
he saw the greater opportunity in
declaring for ratification of the
treaty with reservations that clear
away any doubts as to the obliga-
tions of the United States under
the Constitution. after pointing out
that Senator Harding did not favor
going in the league at all.

Connecticut Ave.
HEARING THIS MORNING
Commission to Get Views Of
Various Civic Bodies
During Week.

Failing to secure the zoninE oi
| the entire length OF Connecticut
avenue for residential purposes. the
consulting committee OF the Chevy
! Chase Citizens Association will
urge that business buildings he re-
stricted to the two squares between
Northampton and Morrison streets
which are already occupied by bust
ness buildings.
Residents and property owners
of District s, which includes this
section, will be given a hearing in
the board room OF the District
Building this morning at 1915,
when the commission on coming for
the District OF Columbia will open
hearings on the coming plans for
the Capital.
Changes in Map.
According to the new tentative
use map approved by the Zoning
Commission July 10, it is under
stood by the consulting committee
that Connecticut avenue, from Jen-
ifer street north to Chevy Chase
circle, is to be zoned as a resi-
Dental district. except the two
squares now partially so occupied.
Patterson street, heretofore zoned
for business tentatively. is to be
zoned for residential purposes only.
1t is also understood that the rest
of Connecticut avenue, from Jenifer
street south to Mscomb street. is
to be zoned as a business district.
1t is believed by the citizens
committee that a further modifica-
tion in the plans should be made
to limit the district zoned for bust
ness to the two squares mentioned,
as it is felt that this allotment will af-
ford ample space for the business
requirements of that section.
Hearings Of the recomme Rdatlons
of consulting committees OF citizens
associations will begin this morning
and will continue through Wednes-
day. Col. Kutz said that although
the hearings are primarily for the
expression Of the views Of the com
mittees already appointed, any citi-
zen may feel at liberty 70 voice his
sentiments.

LOVE LOSER SHOOTS

love that had its beginning twelve
years ago in Russia, Rudolph Need

The three bullets which Mrs.
Needrit received, however, were in

Rudolph had a violent quarrel
Very little hope is entertained for
Mrs. Needrit's life.
According to the police, Rudolph
made no secret of his infatuation
for his brothers wife. He followed

took every opportunity to let his

Berlin, Aug S.-The German eco
nomic outlook, which for a time
seemed hopeful of gradual return
TO better conditions, appears to be
suffering a serious slump. The fall
ing of in production in the last
month brought about a serious crisis
o: undeniably alarming proportions,
Nothing can avert what many bust
ness men are inclined to believe will
be a general shutdown Of German
factories
Five large plants in Mannheim
and Jena have suspended work and
laid OF most OF their hands The
Zeitz Optical Works has discharged
more than 1000 employees. Numer-
Gus steel foundries have completely
shut their doors.
Reasons for Decline.
Two reasons. among many others
Ere given for the present crisis.
First. the recent Improvement in
tierman exchange and the compare
lvely high cost in marks of Ger
man goods which ceased to attract
foreign buyers. The result was that
not only did continental trade take
decided fall but overseas, partiCu-
larly American, orders stopped al
most completely.
Second. many Of the chief indus
tries had been finding their main
source of employment up to recent
" in supplying the needs of deva-
stated regions in Northern France.
Negotiations between France and
Germany for reconstruction in the
north were suspended, and with il
came a corresponding suspension of
work in those plants which were
running exclusively for this pur-
pose.
Market Expensive.
Business in general is now con-
fronted with a condition that makes
Germany one OF the most expensive
markets for certain goods of any or
the European war countries That
condition is aItcrable only by gov
eTHment action which may be hard
&c obtain. The home market is so
crammed with goods bought at high
figures that a reduction in prices in
wolves disaster for many, especially
large stockholders. The Reichstag
will be sure to defeat such measures.
In that connection the official hg-
lrss Of June exports to the United
states offer an interesting barom-
eter OF Germany's ability to do DusI-
ness when exchange rates favor
buyers from abroad. The record of
exports from here to the United
States during June shows s16,164.00O,
as against only $7.5O0,OOO for June
Of last yea-. American exports to
Germany for the same month
amounted to S17.7OO.OOO. as against
nearly $21.OOo,O0O in May Of the
Present year.
