"Boss'' Murphy and Shadow Boss"
KoenIg at the Manhattan Casino. Eighth
avenue and 155th street, last night to
show where a single dollar had gone
astray OF the seven billions passing
through his court in the last fourteen
years.
He defended the propriety Of his sd-
ministrativc appointments. He said the
Issue being raised OF his alleged partial
ify toward five appointees was camou-

Bar Association was the answer.
He made a scathing review OF past
election frauds which he laid at the door

called a conference of representatives
of the five epublics-Costa Rica,
Guatemala. Honduras, Nicaragua and
Salvador--to meet in Washington in
the coming December
The object Is to negotiate such
treaty or treaties as may be advisable,
to make effective the provisions of the
treaties of 1907 in the interest Of bet
ter relations and cooperation among
the Central American states to pro-
mote measures for the limitation of
armament; to work out IA plan for
tribunals of inquiry to aid in the
peaceful settlement of disputes, and
to take up such other matters of COM
mon interest as all the parties to the
. conference may agree upon.
We are arranging to withdraw the
military Government of Santo Do
mingo. and under the agreement that
has been made with that purpose
provisional Dominican government has
been established 20 superintend the
necessary elections for the purpose of
establishing the permanent Dominican
Government.
In Haiti we have not been able as
yet to arrange for the withdrawal Of
our forces. but we are simplifying and
Improving the administration with
which we are charged under the
Haitian treaty, we are removing al
causes of complaint and we are de-
voting ourselves with the utmost care
and without the slightest Interior
motive to the Improvement of condi-
tions so that our occupation, while 1t
continues in the essential interest OF
peace and order, may be of the great
est possible benefit to the Haitian
people.
We rejoice that this hemisphere is
at peace. We covet nothing that is
our nelghbor's; our good offices are
available whenever they are invited in
the Interest Of peaceful settlements
between our sister republics, and we
trust that by mutual appreciation OF
our community of interests we may
promote common prosperity.
The most acute questions al the
moment concern the Near East The
Christian world has been filed with
horror at the atrocities committed in
Anatolia, especially In connection with
the burning of Smyrna. rivalled only
by the wholesale massacres and
deportations of the Armenians in 1915.

While nothing can excuse In the
slightest degree or pallate the acts

Great Problems That Vex Europe
Are Not of Justiciable Nature

1t should be remembered that the
great problems that now vex the
European nations and retard recupera-
tion are not. except to a minor de-
gree, of a legal or jueticiabie nature
which can be solved by judicial
tribunals.
Nor are they matters pertaining to
health and mere humanitarian en-
deavor. vastly important as matters
of this sort are. We always have
been and are most desirous to aid.
and we are aiding, in such undertake
ings.
Promotion of welfare.
Members of our Public Health Ser
vice have been In attendance at sani-

than we are doing to promote through

mankind.
The fundamental and pressing prot
lems of Europe arc political problems
Involving national hopes and fears !:
deep seated convictions as to national
safety and opportunity: national am
bitions. In some cases long cherished,
in others recently awakened; estab-

National Interest Dominates.
Such interests inevitably are and
will be reserved for direct negotia-
ions In conference or otherwise be-

tions is naturally determined on each
side by conceptions of national inter-

The reason that the main problems
OF Europe cannot be solved, save as
Europe helps herself. lies In tho fact
that each jor difficulty centers In
the self-detcrmined action of inde-
pendent States and Is beyond external
control
The chief trouble at this time in Eu-
rope Is that the great Powers have not
been able to agree as TO questions
which, being distinctly European ques-
tons. directly concern them. and their
want OF agreement Is due to dlf-
ferent conceptions, of essential national

Protective steps Urged.

Before the burning OF Smyrna,
fearing the reprisals that might fol-

estly impressed on the Turkish Ma
tIonalists the need of energetic meas
ures for the protection of the people
of the occupied territories.
In the appalling distress at smyrna
American officers were the first to
give and continued TO give all the
relief within their power, and from
that moment we have lost no oppor-
tunity to succor the refugees by
measures which have been rapidly
and constantly broadening to meet the
exigency in every practicable way.
Our representatives have been in
strmuental in effectinE the evacuation
from Smyrna of nearly 100000 refu-
gees The Presidents appeal on
behalf of humanity. and in support
of all that the organized philanthropy
OF America can do, has met with the
most generous response.
It is easy 10 talk of prevention
after the event. The fact is that these
latest occurrences Lave been the inn
mediate result of a stat, of war. and
we were not parties to tnat war.
When the Allies were at war with
Turkey and we associated ourselves
with the Allies in the war with Ger
many and Austria Hungary. we de-
clined to go 20 war with Turkey
despite the occurrences of 1915. In the
last two years. with armies in Asia
Minor, the appeal has been to force,
and the American people would never
have been willing to shoulder this bur-
den of armed intervention which the
Allies with their forces nearer the
scene We're unwilling 60 bear.
IT would be equally futile now to
talk of this country going TO war when
all the other Powers are arranging to
make peace. AT no time has the
Executive had any authority to plunge
this country into war. even holy
war.
know there are those who think
we should have threatened even If we
did not intend to make war. The Adj
ministration does not make threats
which it does not purpose to carry
out. The American people cannot
afford policy where the words spoken
on their behalf do not mean all that
is said, and when we threaten we shall
execute.
Permit me to quote the words of
Col. Roosevelt, whose name is often
invoked by those who apparently have
but slight knowledge of his views.
lE relation to a diplomatic situation
which involved a similar question, he
wrote as follows:

of towns and general devastation
and cruel.ies.
Anatolia In war has been the scene
OF savagery. Last June the President
gladly agreed 10 enter with the great
Powers into a investigation OF the
atrocities which had been reported.
and he detailed officers for that pur-
pose. Later 1t was suggested by the
Powers that the inquiries be under
taken by the ReI Cross. and this was
agreed to. but before the inquiry
could be made the final scenes In the
tragedy were being enacted.
We have not failed to voice Amer
lean sentiment I'm our adherence OF
these cruelties practiced upon helpless
populations. Our American High
Commissioner at Constantinople dur
ing the past year and a half has not
failed repeatedly and vigorously to
protest against them.
The New York herald., 1922-10-31

For us international cooperation
does not mean that we should embroil
ourselves in controversies not involv-
ing our own interests but growing out
of the age long rivalries and conflict
ing interests of European Powers hav-
ing policies which we do not assume
to criticize but in which we have no
share.
Must Maintain Helpful Influences
There Is no reason why we should
fritter away our helpful influence by
becoming a partisan OF either party TO
such controversies. much less make
the fatal mistake Of attempting to as
sumo the role OF dictator.
Meanwhile we have been unstinting
in such practical assistance as could
be given. No appeal for the starving
and distressed has been made to gen.
erous America in vain. Hundreds Of
millions OF dollars have been poured
out In relief.
What is even more important is that
host of productive undertakings in
Europe have turned TO America for
help and have not been denied. The
help needed has been credit. and the
rcspense has been made In about four
billions Of dollars invested by our peo-
pie in Europe since the armistice
Europe is at this moment burdened
with the expense of large armies
heavily disproportionate 20 the finan-
cial ability Of the respective States to
maintain them. These armies are
maintained because OF dlstrust. appre-
hension and national aspirations.
Every effort TO remove the burden by
agreement az to limitation OF land
armament has failed.
The European Powers despite COM
plete organization designed TO facili-
tate The removal OF this burden, have
apparently put the problem aside for
the time, viewing II as inseparably re-
lated to a condition OF political in
stability which can be cured only by
voluntary action.
IL Is recognized that nothing can be
done without the consent of the
Powers directly concerned and that
they are not ready 10 consent. There
is no machinery which can serve as
substitute for that consent.

But while the question or reduction
in land arinaments could not be solved
because OF conditions in Europe, there
was an opportunity presented TO US.
because OF our special relation to the
matter. TO deal with the question Of
naval armament and to stop the naval
competition upon which we had entered
with Great Britain and Japan.
This competition wes both economi-
cally unjustficd and provocative OF
trouble. We could not cure 1t by
simply talking about II; the facts were
known. We could not cure Il without
sacrifice. But our relation to that

journey will be continued with no more
delay, it was said, than will be re-
quired to turn over the craft to
Walter Hinton, pilot, and his COM
panions.
1t is possible that Hinton and his
companions will get away from Guam
tanamo Friday by train for Havana.
From there they will go TO Key west

to Pensacola. Navy officials said the
plane should be ready for them at the
time of their arrival.
In giving consent to the use of the
navy plane, the newspaper stated Mr..

sibility of a great service to aviation
but Of even greater service to closer
political and social relations between
Brazil and the United States.

MARY'S HUSBAND
FAILS in FIRST
BUSINESS VENTURE
C0nqueror Typewriter Company
Goes Under; Started
Up i'm 1919.

London.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press).-The first business
venture of Lord Lascelles, better
known as the husband of Princess
Mary, has proved a failure. The Con-
queror Typewriter company. in Stour-
ton, near Leeds, of which he was the
head and principal shareholder, has
been sold.
The concern was started in 1919
with a nominal capital of half a mil
lion sterling. 1t was intended by the
promoters to produce. an all-British
typewriter which should compete with
the best of the American machines.
The erection of the factory and it's
equipment was undertaken at q time
when prices ruled high. No expense
was spared, and when the works were
completed they were considered the
last word in modern mass produc-
ton.
1t was hoped that the new industry
would provide regular employment for
400 work people. Much experimental
work was undertaken in order to JUS
tify the name ~"Conqueror" and ensure
production of a sufficiently profitable
basis. But, owing TO the industrial
slump, not a single machine has been
produced for sale.
