A IEADERLESs MINORITY.

In naming CordeH Hull TO succeed
George White as its chairman the
Democratic National Committee lays
stress on the necessity for vigorous
party leadership. Certainly the admin
istration and the country would both
benefit by increased energy and initia-
tive In the councils Of the opposition.
A party that has everything its own
way grows careless and Indifferent.
The Republicans can tilt back in solid
comfort and go to sleep these days,
confident that nothing of rial import
viii disturb the even tenor of the Con-
gressional Record. Grass is growing
under everybody's feet. Politics and
finance have slumped together. Yet
there was never an administration
wider open 10 criticism, never such a
hash of campaign promises. such tri-
fling with vast opportunities.
What the Democratic party most
needs is leadership in the Houses of
Congress. In the Senate Mr.. Under
wood practically abdicated when he
lined up with President Harding on
the German Treaty. In the House
there is no Democratic leadership Of
any kind. Republican leadership has
evaporated almost as completely, prob
ably because there's nobody to argue
with. For lack Of live opposition Con-
gress has sunk 10 the status OF a
lawyers convention, with a few hard
working committee members grinding
out bills and resolutions to comply
wlth-the requirements Of Hobbies and
other powers that be.

Paris Is Awaiting
Germany S Proposals
With Impatience

PARIS, April 21-Germany's pro-
posal relative. to reparations had not
been received by the French govern
ment late last night, but officials
here declared they expected they
would be the same as those publish
ed in German newspapers. For this
reason they said they believed the
Berlin governments terms would be
insufficient and unacceptable"
Louis Loucheur, minister Of the
liberated regions, has completed a
plan for the economic penalties to
be placed upon Germany in default
of her payment of reparations. the
Echo de Paris declares thatshis plans
include a tax of tie ngold marks on
each ton of coal and smaller tax
on Ignite and perhaps manufac-
tured goods. A tax Of forty per
cent, payable in foreign money,
would be levied on all exports. Ger
many would be allowed to manufac-
ture certain products and deliver GER
tain materials to the allies the
value of these products being cred
tied to the reparationS account.

HARDING ASKED To :
TAKE RA|LS|TUAT|ON
INTO OWN HANDS

WASHINGTON, April 21.-A new
plea that President Harding take the
railroad problem into his own
hands was laid before him today by
a delegation Of farmers and con-
gressmen from agricultural states.
Declaring that the very life Of
the farmers was threatened by pres
ent high freight rates, the delega-
ton went to the White House to
ask for conference Of labor, CAPT.
tai and representatives of basic in
dustries to thresh out the whole
problem.
Mr.. Harding also received a dele
cation of railroad brotherhood men
headed by ]. w. Wills and w. N.
Doak. Mr.. Doak declared that their
mission had nothing to do with the
general railroad problem.
Meanwhile Mr.. Harding, it was
learned today, has received reports
from cabinet members who have
are even more pessimistic than the
information carried him by the
farmers
The president has been told that
the present railroad rates are the
log in the present industrial jam.
Wage cuts will help but little. ac-
cording to these reports to Mr.. Har-
ding, which declare that the main
trouble is that tie present rates bear
no relation to industrial need. Be-
cause Of this not only the farmers
but other industries are suffering
and some are in danger of being
wiped out. =
A coal shortage in the winter will
come unless the roads are put on
their feet before then, the president
has been told.
SO far Mr.. Harding has not gone
beyond the railroad recommendation
in his message, which called for an
Investigation by the senate.

clay The impure nitrate of soda
is associated in the cal1che with Ger
tain other salts in layers varying
in depth from a few inches to about
ten feet, the average being about
three feet.
At least four theories have been
advanced for the formation Of this
material, but none of them are alone
satisfactory. The crude materials
contain from 5 to 80 per cent of nj
trate of soda, this being refined by
dissolving and evaporation when the
pure nitrate crystalizes out. 1t is
