to bear against Senator Borah of Ida
no to the end that he lead an inde-
pendent campaign for the presidency
two years hence.
Borah will not yield to such petit
lions. He has always been regular"
when forced to declare himself. sec-
ondly, he knows that 1t would be i'm
possible for third party movement
to score success.
Borah is a great iconoclast within
his party. He ardently supported
Theodore Roosevelt for the nomina-
ton in 1912 but when Taft was nomi-
mated by the regular organization, he
supported Taft. In 1916. he again
supported Roosevelt for the nomina-
ton, but when Hughes was nomi-
mated. he supported Hughes. Two
years ago. ne supported Senator John
son of California for the nomination,
but subsequently made speeches for
Harding.

doubtless he will speak for one or

1t il learned that all republican
leaders of the standpat school have
appealed tc Borah. After their fail
ures, the President made personal
appeal. But Borah declined.
1t is regarded as natural that he
should have declined. The admins
tration is making its plea for the cleo
tion of republican congressman on
the ground that the Congress enacted
the Fcrdney -McCumber tariff act, and
the administration sponsored the
Washington conference. Borah
voted against the tariff, and voted
against ratification of the treaties
growing out of the Washington con-
ference.

HARDING DEFERS

BY HUGH w. ROBERTS
Washineton Bureau, Tho Age-Herald,
500 Davidson Building.


Washington, October 7.-(Special)
Andrew w. Mellon. Secretary of the
Treasury. announces to newspaper
men today that the President will not
fill vacancies existing on the federal
reserve board until the beginning of
tho extraordinary session of Con-
gress.
1t Is indicated that the President,
at that time, will nominate w. 2. g.
Harding of Birmingham to succeed

ment was concession to certain re-
publican members of the Senate
agrarian bloc who had expressed fear
that the reappointment of Mr.. Har-
ding would have effect en- the farmer
vote in the west just prior to the
congressional elections.
1t is believed that the other vacancy
on the board will be filled by the ap-
pointment of j. r. Howard of Iowa.
president of the American Farm Blu
reau federation.
It Ia said that the President Is de-
termined not to permit politics to
play a part in filling the board vacan-
cies. He will not be moved by GER
tain politicians who have talked
against Harding for political effect.
And he will not be moved by those
republicans who refer to Governor
Harding as a southerner and a demo-
crat and ask that a deserving re-
publican be given the vacant place on
the board. Further. 1t Is said that
the President Is aware that the demo-
cratic party and the south are entitled
to representation on the board. a fact
overlooked by some southern poiiti-
clans. 1t appears.
Munsey's Praise
The most influential business men
of the country have requested the
President to RENAME Governor Hard
ing, and republican newspapers are
insistent that the President refuse 10
permit politicians to make footoaIl
of the greatest banking system in
the world. While politicians have de-
clared the deflation policy of the Will
son administration was Injurious to
farmers, the business men OF the
country compliment the Wilson ad-
ministration for having taken the
only course which could have saved
the financial world.
Frank A. Munsey, famous finan-
cier and newspaper owner, recently
visiting Washington, declared: "One
of the soundest pieces of work ever
done in this country, and one OF the
most necessary. was by the banks in
1920 in calling a halt to speculation
and wild expansion.
1T called for fine courage to jam
the brakes on. We were running
wild with open throttle. We were
running straight for a smash that
would have paralyzed the nation and
stunned the world. Then under the
able leadership Of Gov. w. P. g.
Harding, the country was warned
that it must Immediately begin slow
ing down.
There was no other way to save
the situation. There was no other
force, not even the government itself.

Washington, October delegates
attending the meeting here this week
of the reserve officers corps heard
with great eclat and much elan a
famous English story told at the ex-
pense OF tho old man-any old man
and meaning. OF course, the general.
1t seems that the general was con-
duettng extensive military maneu-
vers one day with a couple OF regi-
ments of soldiers and quite staff Of
officers. After the men In olive drab
had been put through a number of
battle formation skirmishes and
other things strictly warlike, the
general called the officers about him
and began to explain the tnwardness
of II all.
"of course, gentlemen" he began,
"there are several differences be-
tween what you have Just seen and
real battle. Naturally, the first OF
these is the absence OF the enemy.
Now the second difference is, an,

of barbarism. His side lost. His
allies are crushed to atoms. He him
self Is exalted as victor over the
victors. He trampled on the treaty of
peace and returns to Constantinople,
returns to the Bosphorus, returns to
Europe in triumph. The war. fought
to liberate Europe from military ter
rorism, has resulted in the single
achievement of restoration of Turkish
rule.
How has this amazing conclusion
been reached? 1t could not have come
about had the victors remained loyal
to each other and loyal to the cause
of European peace. The whole his
tory of the Turks has been that of
playing upon the fears and jealousies
of the so-called Christian powers, but
never were they so successfully
played upon as in the present in
stance. The Turk secured the secret
support of France which saw in MIN
an ally in imposing her will on Eu-
hope. He received the secret sup
port of Italy, which feared the war
aims of Greece. Russia, outlawed by
everybody. naturally was ready to
use this instrument which would
cause the allies trouble. England.
in consequence, was left isolated in
her opposition.
French in Command
BY encouraging the Greeks with
empty words. Lloyd George gave
France grounds for supporting the
Turks with arms. and his foolish
appeal to the dominions added humfl-
iation to defeat. The result was the
placing of France in complete COM
mand of the whole European situa-
ton.
1t is impossible to deny the disas-
trous effect this has had on British
prestige. In Europe our moral in
fluence has fallen lower than in the
memory of living man. At the end
of the war Britain dominated Eu-
rope. Today 1t Is negligible. Nor is
today the worst. The resurrection of
the Turk in the face of our support
of the Greeks has profoundly dis
credited US throughout the entire Mo-
hammedan world. France today Is
hailed as the friend and protector of
Islam instead of Germany, retired.
The effect of this on the Indian Sit
uation has resulted in still further
grave disturbances there. Trouble
can be expected in Egypt. Already,
under the new conditions, with
Zeaghlul in exile the Turks have
secured an important influence in
the Egyptian government.
Anxiety I'm EnElar
All this record of muddle and fall
ure has created deep public anxiety
throughout England. Widespread re-
sentiment is heard at the approval of
France, but it must be admitted that
we have so mishandled the situation
that she has been given a good ex-
cuse for her actions. The questions
now are: What can be done? Upon
what basis can the common action of
Italy, France and England be re-
stored? Mutual confidence between
the governments and the peoples has
received shock from which 1t will
be difficult to recover, but IL is
agreed that restoration of a good I'M
derstanding between the late allies is
necessary IL the drift toward open
hostilities is to be checked.
The British problem Is how to bring
this about without surrendering to

interests, it is certain to leave pro-

Italy have done for Turkey what
England has done for Germany dur

Germany at the risk of hurting

For all these reasons 1923 seems
likely to prove harder than it's pre-

months past statesmen have per-

Correspondents Protest
American correspondents in Eu-
rope assembled in Paris have joint
" with their British, French, Ger
man, Swiss, Dutch and Belgium col
leagues. issued a protest against this
censorship following the discovery of
an ugly break among the near east
conferees just at the time that the
official communicates were assert
Ing that everything was proceeding
satisfactorily
The censorship even prevented
learning the reason for the split
which demonstrates how easily the
world may again be drawn into war
without the slightest knowledge of
the causes exactly as the superan-
nuated surgeons, themselves, afraid
of youth, may prevent knowledge OF
rejuvenating methods and condemn
mankind to premature senility.
In the present circumstances,
with little information reaching the
outside world. except through mill
tary. and chiefly British sources. the
only safe plan Is to believe nothing
and fear everything. The ridiculous,
be-whiskered atrocity stories. re-
furnished from the previous crisis,
are being made TO do duty as news
in the hope of creating a warlike at
mosphere. Until the press of the
world is admitted to full cognlzance
of what is taking place at these con-
ferences, and uncensored transmits
sion of the actual news is allowed,

dispatches as important if true"
