Guiding NJ. venizelos. former premier
Of Greece, and his bride, and Rt. Hon.
Reginald McKenna, former chancellor
of the exchequer and the leading fnan.
cier Of Great Britain. Mr.. McKenna
was the guest Of honor at a dinner
given by the Chicago Commercial
club and delivered an address that
has aroused widespread comment.
Briefly. he advocated the cancellation
OF all war debts between nations a.
the only remedy for the economic dis.
tress Of the world. Debtor nations,
he said. have no alternative but to at.
tempt to square their obligations By
flooding the markets Of their creditors
with goods. Great Britain and the
United States. he said. have war debts
owing them Of approximately equal
slze-abOut $lO.0OO,OOO. 600, and his In.
ference was that II cancellation of the
debts was fair for one, 1t was fair
for the other. Some American fnan-
ciers In commenting on Mr.. McKenna's
views agreed with him in the main.
but others asserted that the plan a.
a political proposal was impossible at
this time sad would not be entertained
by the American people. They did not
fail to point out that, while the United
States derived no material benefit
from the war. Great Britain not only
obtained vast territories but also in.
sured her naval and merchant suprem-
acy by the destruction OF the German
fleets.
President Harding made a three day
trip into the Southland to attend the
semi-centennIal celebration OF BIrming-
ham. Ala. and he took the occasion
to speak some plain words on the race
problem. He declared that unless
our democracy is lie" there must be
economic. educational and political
equality for the negro. but without
attempt Mt social equality. Here are
few Of his p!thy sentences:
II would say let the black man vote
when he is ut to vote; prohibit the
white man voting when he Is unft to
vote"
II wish that both the tradition of
solidly Democratic South and the
tradition Of n solidly Republican black
race might be broken up"
Men Of both races may well stand
uncompromIsinsly against every sug.
Ecstion Of social equality. This il not
question OF recognizing funda-
mental. eternal. incscnpable differ
encc."
"Racial nmalgamntIon there cannot
be. Partnership OF the races In de-
veloping the highest aims Of all hu-
mainly there must be II humanity is
to achieve the ends which we have
set for IT,"
'"Thc black man should seek to he.
and he should be encouraged to be, the
best possible black man. and not the
best possible imitation OF n white
man."
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon
last week created considerable excite
ment and, II must be said. rejoicing,
by tnklng the lid of the manufacture
and sale Of beer and wine for medic
insl purposes. Convinced that II was
unfair TO wait longer for congress to
pass the nnti.beer bill. he issued the
regulations necessary. Not more than
two and one.half gallons OF beer may
he prescribed At one time for use BY
the snme person. but there Is no limit
on the number Of prescrIf tons that
may he issued by q physdcinn. The
limit for one wine prescription Is two
quarts. but there Il no limit to the
number Of prescriptions.
