the fact that the administration failed to begin construction of this plant as soon as it became apparent that it's output would be needed, and forced contractors into extravagant methods in an effort to build it in too short a period of time. There has not been in all previous government history such a shameful record of extrava- gance and waste as that made by the present administration in the construc- tion of war plants and the purchase of war materials. The immensity of the wrong done is so vast that the very magnitude of the scandal has prevented it's complete comprehension by the American people. But as they slowly awake to the full scope of the impositions which have been practiced upon them, they will cover with undy- ing obliquy the names which have been linked with this gross betrayal of public trust.
The Cordova daily times., 1920-05-19
SOME VICTORY, THIS!

Administration partisans are hailing the success of Attorney General Pal maer in securing an apparent plurality @f twelve convention votes ill Georgia for the presidential endorsement, as a "vtndication" of the Wilson policies. MT. Palmer made his campaign on 8 stand by Wilson" platform!
 An examination of the returns shows the extent of the administrators "vindication." With all the influence exercised by an army of administra- ton office holders, MT P P.almer carried 8 counties with 142 convention votes. Senator Hoke Smith, who stood for the Lodge reservations, carried 47 counties with 112 votes. Tom Wat son, who opposed the whole league of nations covenant, carried 55 counties with 130 convention votes. The oppO- sition totals 102 counties with PAP con veRtiOn votes, majority of 50 cOun- ties and a hundred convention votes. The popular vote shows the same pre- ponderance of opinion against the na- tional administration.
 If this is considered an administra- tion victory" what would it take to administer a defeat to the stubborn One at Washington? And what does it demonstrate as to the good sense of the theory that the senate has been standing against the will of the Amer ican people in refusing to accept the un-Americanized covenant, when one of the states of the Solid South regis ters such verdict as this upon the course of a Democratic national ad- ninistratiOn?

WASTE AND EXTRAVAGANCE

After the wasted millions at Muscle shoals, the war department is throw ing more millions. It is asking con gross to authorize the completion of a nitrate plant which has already cost the country scores of millions without reaching the point of production. It is going ahead with. the construction of dam at a cost of many millions, a1leged1y for the production of water power as a measure of economy in operation, but at such cost that the interest on the construction charges will make the production of electric power more expensive than the de- velopment of steam power by the plant aleady in existence. A nitrate plant for the production of fertilizer or any other product, under political manage ment, would be B failure. The wise plan would be to charge the whole scanda1ous transaction at Muscle shoals up to profit and loss. And the greater part of the loss was due to

WHO IS RIGHT ABOUT MEXICO?

Joseph W. Guffey, Pennsylvania oil man and a political henchman of Attorney General Palmer, with whom he was associated in the handling of the affairs of the Alien Property Gus todianship gave out an interview three or four weeks ago ridicu1ing the theory that Mexico was in danger of another revolution. At the time he spoke General <Carranza was getting ready to make military prisoner of one of the candidates for the presi- dency of Mexicn, and it seems scarce ly possible that any intelligent ob- server could have failed to sense the approach of the situation which has since developed Tn this interview Mr. Guffey defended Carranza as a high-minded apostle of the new free dom, and declared that he had re- stored order and contentment in Mexi- co. He also took occasion to rebuke the wicked propagandists he declared were trying to create the impression that everything was not lovely in Mexico. Couldn't you tell from all this that MT. Guffey, whose oil oper- ations in Mexico seem to have the pro- lection of Carranza, no matter what happens to other American business interests in the republic to the south of us, is an administration politician of the flock which kept us out Of war and reduced the high cost of living and is continually doing things that never happen? Who are, by the way, the fake Mexican propagandists in the United States; those who in- sist that Mexico is regular social ist heaven, or those who have been pointing to the facts as evidenced that it is far more desperately af- fl.cted country than Cuba was when we went to war to relieve that Span ish dependency from the yoke of tyranny?

THE LEAGUE AND PEACE

The New York Times says that un- less the league of nations be adopted this nation must enter upon a program of military and naval preparedness. Undoubtedly true; but it is just as true that with the league of nations in full running order, this nation must, for even better reasons, enter upon @ program of military and naval pre- paredness.
 The league of nations exists; has it done away with the necessity of m1l1- tary and naval preparedness in Flu rope? Is any nation in Europe de- pending upon it's paper guarantees of peace? On the contrary are not a dozen wars in progress and is there not far more instability and greater uncertainty of. continued peace than there was at any time prior to the outbreak of the world war?
 The un-Americanized covenant of the league of nations would involve the United States in this European chaos, and if we are to make the peace of this country permanently de- pendent upon the maintenance of peace in all the rest of the world we will indeed need to launch upon a big program of naval and military pre- paredness, as the present national ad-- mainistration, along with it's scheme of a Europeanized league of nations, is proposing.
