HOPKINS SCORES
CABINET MAKEUP

NEW YORK, Feb. al. A. H.
Hopkins, executive chairman of the
Committee of Forty-eight, which at
tempted to bring the liberal"
groups of the country into a third
party" last summer. issued a state
ment today on the Harding Cabinet.
The makeup of Mr.. Hardings
Cabinet is significant" Mr.. Hopkins
declared. Five members are cor
poration lawyers. Two members
adequately represent the banking
interests. Two represent the reac-
tionary press. Two are frankly
militarEtie and are openly support
ing the tremendous appropriations
for a superlative naval and military
establishment. At least five were
frankly appointed as a reward for
political services.
The influence of patronage. the
lifeblood of the corrupt political
machine, is amply satisfied. Roose-
velt's invisible government and
Wilson's partnership of big busl-
ness are well organized.
Tho necessity for a new oppo-
sition party pledged to economic re-
construction and aimed directly at
the abolition of privilege and group
control. was never more strongly
demonstrated. Unless such a party
is formed and properly organized
before 1922, the country will realize
that however strongly the voters
may have registered their disap-
proval of the Wilson administration.
they have jumped from the frying
pan into the fire."
