Opportunity In Plank.
The suffrage plank is the only
one in the platform which Senator
Harding and his party have the
power to carry out without waitipg
until elected to national ONCE be-
cause of the fact that their party
is already in control in several
legislatures which have not yet
acted on suffrage. II Senator
Harding refuses to live up to the
suffrage plank and contents him
self merely with earnestly hoping
and sincerely desiring how can he
expect the country to take seriously
the other planks in his platform?
The national women's party will
continue to demand that Senator
Harding carry out his platform by
securing a unanimous vote in sup

HARDING SPEECH CALLED
INAUGURAL PRELUDE

The Republican Publicity Associa-
tion through its president former
Senator Jonathan Bourne, in a
statement ISSUED yesterday on Sem
ator Harding's speech of acceptance,
declared it to be but the prelude
to his inaugural address" The
statement adds:
mo rhetorical design which that
craftsman of fine phrases, Mr.. Will
son, may weave upon his typewriter
can curb the appeal which Hard
ing's words make to the American
heart. After all that has been said
and done, the vast majority of US
are Americans first.
"Harding's speech gives to the Re-
publicans the assurance that they
have done far more than to clinch
a party victory by nominating such
1t convipces them that they have
named the man who will save the
nation from ENHANCEMENT from
without and disruption within. for
there is nothing In Harding's career
as a statesman which has ever given
the lie to the sentiments he has
uttered. As he promises, so will he
perform, and the promises TO be
read in his acceptance speech are
the performances which will meet
with the approval OF the people"

French View Changes.
Despite Premier Millerand's as
sertion that France will back up
Poland to the limit" seasoned
Diplomatic observers are inclined to
believe the French official viewpoint
as regards Soviet Russia veerinS
toward that maintained by 'the
British government.
In the inclusion of Ambassador
Jusserand in the mission to warsaw
observers see Frances wish TO De
present at the diplomatic pourpar-
lers with the Soviets which are
likely to ensue in the Polish capltal.
Allied statesmen fully realize that
the fate of Poland is secondary In
Importance today to the prospects OF
the gigantic struggle the Western
powers hae to face once the Soviet
armies were to sweep across the
frontiers of Germany. Official opin-
ion here is that the Russian army
must be prevented at any cost from
reaching the German border.
Abor Opposes War
Yet official France is extremely
reluctant to take military measures
chiefly. because of the difficult labor
situation in this country and the
bitter opposition of the working
masses to an anti-Soviet war.
The French Socialist leaders are re-
peating again and again that their
party will not allow a single man
or cent to be used in such war.
Consequently it would surprise no
one If France, choosing the line of
least resistance, would yet agree to
recognition of the Soviets even If
payment of the Czarist debts is not
guaranteed. w.

Senator Lodge harped insistently

though Senator Harding, with con-

Senator Harding's views on in

startling is discovered in them.

confession of Failure
Homer Cummings, who has just

at San Francisco, said last night:
'Harding's speech is a confession
of Republican failure. 1t will not.
and ought not, to strengthen his
case before the American people.
There is not a single constructive
note in il. 1t is vague and vacuus.
On the great question of the league
of nations it holds out no tangible
hope either to the American people
or to Ine allies with whom we so
recently fought shoulder to shoul-
der for international peace. In ad-
vocating a separate peace, Senator
Harding and the Republican party
deliberately play false to our late
comrades-in-arms. / cannot bring
myself to believe that that is a doc
trine that will appeal to the heart
of the American electorate"

HOUSING SITUATION.
Mayor Taylor Doesn't Believe Army
Tents Would be Solution.

In the opinion of Mayor William G..
Taylor, there is not likely to arise any
necessity for the use of tents TO house
homeless families on June twcnty-f'th, as
suggested by G. o. Maconachie, head of
the housing department at the Harlan
plant.
MayorJTaylor said:
"To date | have not received Mr..
Matonachie's communication, but il
it arrives in time | will place the matter
before the Housing Commission
II question whether Mr.. Maconachie's
plan will solve the problem. In the first
place, the regular army tents would be
much too small to provide adequate
shelter for entire families.
Even though number have been
ordered to vacate, there will be vacancies
created by their departure. These empty
houses must surely he filled by other
families. In my opinion. il viii merely be
a big intcrchanging of families from one
house TO another.
