CALLING to a million or two OF Ger
man democrats, who helped put
Harding In the white House. to
realize that It was Secretary Hughes
imperative note to Germany, Just
after Harding was inaugurated, that
settled Germany's fate in this re-
spect. The Government of Germany,
knowing how much German-Ameri-
cans had done toward the election
of Harding, delayed and stalled in
every possible way until Harding
reached the White House, depend
ing on his moral support to weaken
and break down the demands of the
Allies for settlement. But Hughes
spoke on May 8. 1921, saying:
This Government strongly urges
the German Government at once to
make directly to the Allied Govern
ments clear, definite and adequate
proposals which would in all re-
spects meet its Just obligations" 1t
was that sentence which broke the
hopes of the German Government
and caused 1t to bow in the dust be-
fore the French and English. Did
Republican politicians lead the Ger
man-American voters to believe the
Harding Government would lend its
moral aid and support to the Father
land? II not, how did 1t happen
that this solid vote was cast for
Harding And what are those vot-
ers' feelings now when they think
of Hughes note?
Chairman Rouse of the Democra-
tic Congressional Committee has is
sued the following statement:
Recently there was luncheon
at the Raleigh Hotel in this city at
which a number of Republicans who
expect to be candidates at the fall
election and several managers of
the motion picture industry were
present. At this luncheon it was
pictured in glowing colors the things
that could and would be done for
the Republican party by using the
big moving picture trust to flood the
country with propaganda helpful to
the Republicans"
1.-THE Democratic organization in
charge of the congressional elections
desire to take this means of notify
ing Democrats everywhere of this
declared intention"
81 do not believe the men who
own the controlling stock in the mo-
ton picture industry will counte-
nance this plan. In the first place,
they have too much sense to leopard
ize the success of their business,
and, in the second place, l believe
mot of them are Democrats. Even
the Republican theatrical men know
that everything shown on the screen
in recent months connected with the
present administration has been I'M
popular. Every theatre goer COM
ments on this. Before this proceed
ure is allowed to start, it would be
we'll for the heads of the business
to reflect, and to ask themselves If
they can afford to go into politics
at this time"
"My own belief is that the movies
should and do play a great part IN
the education of the young and de-
velop good sentiment, but they will
fail in this great mission and fail
from a business standpoint unless
they do two things-keep clean and
keep out of politics"
Real Americans are treated at too
frequent intervals to nauseating ex-
hibitions of Ambassador Harvey's
undignified boot-licking of the Eng

man in London got out a story that
the President was about to recall
Harvey. OF course the Associated
Press Immediately asked the Presi-
dent IL this was true, giving him an
opportunity to at least give Harvey
a hint by declining to discuss the
matter; but the President bluntiy
denied it. thus leaving the inference
that he endorsed Harvey's perform
ances. The newspaper man over In
London probably realized that there
are some men you just can't help.
