June ga tall, tired looking man,

told of the achievements of the vii

inspired leadership" Of Woodrow VIII
son. Homer S. Cummings, tempo

coat and grey trousers, with a flash

paused at frequent intervals during
applause to mop his bald head with

LONDON, June 29.-The apparent
purpose of the Greek campaign IN
Asia Minor is to squeeze the Turkish
nationalists in a huge pincers, crush
ing them without giving them opp0r-

McAdoo Boom Grows.
I1By Harold D. Jacobs, United Press
Staff Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-The
Irejuvenated McAdoo boom had reach
ed the stage today where it haa
plates the exercise of that sovereignty
TO prevent needless wars and to pre-
serve peace"
THE chief issue" he said, lis
whether the United States shall con-
tract with other nations to prevent
unnecessary wars; whether the waste
and sacrifices of uniustifiable con-
fiicts shall be superseded by orderly
tribunals for the settlement Of dis
putes among nations.
IF the republicans win, the small
nations which obtained their indie
peudence through association in the
war with the allies will be overcome
BY their recent enemies and Europe
will quickly collapse into its pre-war
condition of oppression and threat
ened anarchy. Our country win incur
the distrust and contempt of her
former allies and our people will
earn a reputation for selishness ana
which will require
centuries 10 counterfeit.
IF this war ends and the allies go
their separate ways without substi-
tuting justice for force in the settle
ment of International disputes the
generations to come win be born to
a heritage of waStefulness and blood
shed. If the delegates to this con-
vention do their duty as our soldiers
have done theirs the voters of the
nation will not fail them. If we make
this issue boldly we will win.
Never before has nationwide
political battle been waged IN the
cause Of International justice, human
ity and peace. The opposition has
taken low and untenable ground. Let
the democratic party occupy the
heights. Never again win any great
political party in America openly in
vite disaster by trifing with great
problems
