HARDING WILL
Be SERENADED.
Former Democrats Plan March
4 Demonstration II Presi-
dent-EIect Approves.

An old fashioned serenade on the
White House lawn inaugural night
is being planned by the Harding
Democratic Club OF the District OF
Columbia, although approval OF the
proposed celebration has not yet
been received from President-elect
Harding.
EXPECTS APPRoAL
r. Edward Mitchell, president of
the club. has taken the matter up
with President-elect Harding and ex-
poets a favorable reply. Meanwhile.
the office OF public buildings and
grounds Is Withholding a permit for
any sort of a demonstration.
While President-elect Harding has
let IL be known that he Is averse TO
any celebrations OF an extensive
character, IL is hoped by Mitchell and
other members OF the Harding Demo
cratic Club that permission will be
given the organiza tion. which was
the frst of It's kind during the cam
paign. to pay its respects on the night
OF March 4, even though a rousing
demonstration Is prohibited.
AWAIT OFFICIAL WORD.
One proposal is for the local mem
bers to the number of several hum
dred march to the White House in =
body and exchange felicitations with
the new President and Mrs. Harding.
1t is pointed out that this could be
done in a manner not sufficiently
spectacular to be inconsistent with
the wishes OF the Hardings. Another
suggestion is that Mr.. Mitchell make
a short speech setting forth the views
of the club and extend formal con-
gratulations.
Until adyices are received direct
from the President-elect, all plans will
be tentative. Definite action is ex-
pected at an early meeting of the club
to be called by Mitchell when he hears
from Mr.. Harding.

What Europe Needs Is 10 Get to
Work, Laughlin Tells
Students.

Call a halt to the further extension
of credit to bankrupt Europe" is the
warning OF DR.. James Laurence
Laughlin, director OF the Journal Of
Political Economy. What Europe
needs is to quiet down. drop political
plots and radical troubles and get to
work"
Warning that the United States could
not be expected to drain itself hnan-
cially dry for the benefit of European
countries, DR.. Laughlin, In an ad-
dress last night at the National Mu-
scum under auspices Of the George
town School OF Foreign Service, de-
clared that those government . 'Shouid

amount of inflated currency under
which they are staggering.
" Europe Ia treading on the red hot
gridiron of radical revolution he
said. AT the bottom of this lies the
question of economic readjustment"
THE solution is not one OF credit
but one of productive power he
pointed out.
Although the United States practi-
caIly financed the entire war for the
allies, DR.. Laughlin declared. Europe
Is still looking to this country not
only for it's rehabilitation but is look
ing to us for more credit" OPP

he contended. is the only panacea for
Europe's economic recovery.

Laughlin pointed out that Germany
has issued fifty-eight times more
paper currency than II has gold and
that Frances ratio is rs. Even when
the balance of imports and exports is

will still be discounted because OF
this abnormal initiation. Further ex-
tension of credit to Europe at this
time will not solve her economic
problems, he warned.
with this situation confronting all

and naval expenditure in Europe are
still enormously and criminally high

The whole financial policy of the
United States for the next decade is
dependent upon the payment of the
loans made to our allies since April
6, 1917. No definite policy can be
adopted or appropriations estimated
until these loans have been put in
proper shape and adequate securi-
ties presented for payment on ma
turity.
We should arrange Immediately for
long term bonds bearing an equitable
interest. The Government has no
right to consider the cancellation of
any Of our loans, as this money be-
longs to the tax-paying public.
1t is imperative that the British
government be Immediately notified
that our Government has no intention
of canceling any part of the loans,
in order to offset the apparently in
spired British propaganda before 1t
makes too much headway in Europe
and becomes a real menace.
Let us cease making further COM
mitments to countries that are unable
or unwilling to pay the interest on
the existing loans.
The British government, without
making any real effort to pay the
interest on the four billions owed the
taxpayers OF this country, has quietly
proceeded to gain control of the COM
merce and trade OF the world and to
gobble up the oil supply of Rumania,
Galicia, Persia and Mesopotamia.

status of all our loans and believe
that the taxpayer has a right to

Of the loans.
Great Britain has added vast do

her already extended empire as a
result OF the war spoils. America
asked nothing and got just what she
