the borrowing facilities to any food

Address, Disclaims Responsibility

Is Attacked:

Numbers of prominent Richmond

Woman's Club last night during tho
latter part OF the address of DR..
Henry Raymond A1usscy, editor of
the "Searchlight on Congress-" Wash
inston, in which he stated, among
other more or less radical utterances,
that. in his opinion, he considered
the peace treaty as "a step in the
wrong direction" and "thoroughly
iniquItous."
Earlier in his address. DR.. Mussey
had declared the league of nations
10 be the most impeTalistic docu-
ment which has ever been framed. ''
/ He asserted, with obviously amused
appreciation of the sensational value
OF such statement that Senator La
foilette came nearer the mark than
any other national figure at the pres
ent- time in expressing his own per-
sonal viewpoint
AS 10 present campaign issues, DIR.
Mussey declared they were as myth
cal as the snakes in Ireland, and II
did not make two straws' difference
which party wins in the next cleo
ton. The treaty. he said, was al
ready on the scrap pile, having
demonstrated its unworkability, and
the existing political situation was
! "on the whole corrupt"
says Old Systems breaking Down.
| The speaker strongly advocated a
new party, which would stand for
some sort of economic program, with
new issues and new responsibilities.
Old systems. DIR. Mussey said, were
breaking down, and he hoped to see
IN the present period of reconstruct
(, tlon, the beginning of economic poli-
tics as opposed to political politics
since the present system had rea ched
the stage Of decay"

OF the opening session OF the citizen

the Virginia citizenship committee
and the Richmond citizenship COM

the meeting. and Professor Charles

partment of the University of Vir-
ginia. was the other speaker.
The Richmond citizenship COM
mttee. through the chairman, Miss

statement follows:
AS chairman of the Richmond

that the committee in nowrise in

who himself stated that tho views

solely. In holding discussion upon
public matters at these institutes the
committee feels that 1t Is advisable
to hear all sides of such questions in
order that constructive policies may
be advocated and destructive policies
avoided"

of the institute, the opposite view

ers started new move in the hope
Of breaking the combination so that

House not later than Thursday.
Although Chairman Fordney, Of the
Ways and Means Committee, an
nounced he planned to call up the
cations of possible change in the
Republican program, but some un-
certainty as to what might happen.
Instead OF tho effort to give the
relief bill the right of way by n
special rule, Republicans fighting for
the bonus decided on other parlia-
mentary tactics, and announced that
they would endeavor to get it before
the House by suspension of the rules.
Although this would require two
thirds voto for passage. the plan
would permit only a straight-out vote
for or against adoption.
+ Democrats asserted they would nut
up a solid front and. with the help
of "insurgent" Republicans, defeat
tho big tax measure, They claimed
that supporters OF tho bonus had
failed to obtain sufficient votes to
give 1t the right OF way.
