TO HELP NATION,
DECLARES WHITE
Agriculture, Business. and For
eign Trade Prostrate, Demo-
crat Leader Says.

The Republican party during the
four months which II has been IN con-
troll Of the Government has failed Of
any material accomplishment" George
White, chairman Of tho Democratic
National Committee, declared in a
! statement today.
Throughout the nation there is
sion for the future" White said. The
reasons are political, which is my rea-
son for making this statement.
The people are losing confidence in
the ability 81 ;he present Administra-
ton to provide adequate remedies for
the conditions described.
More than two years ago a world
peace was made at Versailles hut for
partisan political reasons this nation
is not yet at peace with the enemy
nations of the war, which admittedly
cannot be made by Congressional
resolu Non" he continued
business has reached such a de-
preston that bitter complaints are
heard from the business world Aeri-
culture is PROSTATE. Taxation and
governmental expenditures are at the
maximum OF our history. The tremen-
. dous percentage OF idleness in the
ranks of labor Is almost unprece-
dented.
For more than two years the Re-
publican party has been in charge Of
the legislative branch of the Govern
ment; for four months IL has been in
actual charge of all departments Of
the Government, but IL has not RENE
died nor alleviated these conditions
and. so far. has failed Of any material
accomplishment.
The people are losing confidence
in the ability of the present national
Administration to provide adequate
remedies for the conditions described.
During the period of the Republi-
can party's return to power the Demo
cratic party's attitude toward it's op-
ponent has been constructive, not OBJ
structive; helpful. not hurtful: and
IT has given the party in power a fair
chance.
II take this patriotic occasion to
congratulate and compliment the
Democratic party upon It's attitude to-
ward the Republican Administrations:
on it's forbearance toward the Execu-
tive and its efforts of constructive
helpfulness in legislation, placing the
interests OF the country above parti-
san interest, again proving It's moral
and political integrity. its true
patriotism and its devotion to the In
terests of the nation and it's people"

Legal tangles over property seized
by the alien property custodian are
expected to soon result from the
transition of the United States from

cal state OF peace with Germany and

While the trading with the enemy

questions involving the Bergdol case
are so confusing that l must decline

RAILROAD TANGLE
MAY Be SOLVED
WITHOUT j. s. AID
Officials See Problems Cleared

BY H. X. REYNOLDS,
International News Service.

The railroad problem"--that bug
aboo which confronted the Admin
istration when It took hold OF the
Government four months ago and
which has hung on persistently
ever since--is more likely to be
solved through the working OF nat
ural economic causes coupled with
the functioning OF governmental
agencies under existing laws than
by new legislation.
That Is the belief OF number

the postponement until August of
the Senate's investigation OF their
difficulties. are confident that gem
cral Improvement will he Afforded

SEE PROBLEMS CLEARED.
Although the railway managers
welcomed the inquiry which Senator
Cumm Minis committee conducted for
six weeks, they declared they were
willing TO stand on the Transpo.-
tation Act OF 1920 and insisted tiNt
this law should be given a fair
chance" before alterations were made
in It. Now they are OF the opinion
that before the investigation Is re-
sumed many OF the problems which
they were up against when Congress
convened In April will have been
removed.

railroads are required to pay inter
est on their stocks and bonds. and
consequently critical time to

financial standing look forward with
alarm. passed this year without n
single carrier. according to pres
cnt r-ports being compelled to
go into the hands OF a receiver. This
fact in itself is regarded by rail-
road managers as an indication Of
the stability Of the transportation
system as whole despite the count

OF tho roads was relinquished by
the Government in tho spring Of

TIGERS AND NAVY

Harvard Will Meet Georgia ;

To Clash With Army

NEW YORK, Oct. IA. - PrincetOn's

nish the principal interest in, the
casts football program tomorrow.
NaVy's eleven has shown greater
strength and dash than i'm 1920, when
the Tigers scored two touchdowns and
held the middies scoreless. The
Princeton organization, while possess
ed of all its 1920 qualities. has been
slow OF development. The Annapolis
has pointed for the Tigers and is ex-
pected TO be at the height of its game.
In one of the inter-sectional strug
giles tomorrow, Harvard will entertain
Georgia.
Washington and Lee Will line up
against Rutgers. Both elevens are
light and dependent upon speed and
dash.
Dartmouth's guest, Tennessee, is
new to the east, but the rugged style
OF the mountaineers may be stumb-
ling block to the Green.
Wabash, one of the best small west
ern college elevens, meets the army
at West Point.
Cornell plays Western Reserve at
Ithaca. The Red and White eleven
has displayed good form. But little
is known of the strength of the in
vaders.
Yale tackles William and the Eli
followers look for victory by a COM
Portable margin.
Lehish and Penn State. when play
ed a II tie in 1920, will meet on the
latter's field. Rhode Island and
Maine each of which made a touch
down in their 1920 game, clash again.
Colgate and Susquehannah went score

the attendance at the games and
checked off the sale of tickets with
the management.
