Who doubts for a moment that
there is at this time more or less
political chaos in this country?
The political chaos of this country
is approaching the political %confus-
ion in other parts of the world.
We haven't political parties today
as they were understood at one time
in the history of this country. We
have what might be called political
organizations carrying the names of
ancient political parties.
In other words, the political par
ties have a name to live but they are
dead.
The reason they are in this con-
dition is because they have abandon
ed great fundamental principles of
government, and doctrines of the
Constitution. They abandoned them
hoping that they might surrender
principles for policies.
You can't build a great party on
a policy; it must be builded on a
principle.
If the parties of this country are to
be revived and invigorated you must
inject into their backbone the virus
of inviolable principles, fundamental
doctrines, constitutional programs.
Men tell you that the reason for
the chaotic political situation of to-
day is the primary election law. They
say that the direct primary has de-
stroyed party organization and re-

sponsibility. They want the primary
law repealed. The primary law will
not be repealed. 1t ought to be
amended and in the following par
ticular:
First: Amend the law by creating
the right to hold a PRE-primary par
ty convention. If the party would
meet in a pre-primary convention and
nominate a ticket this would not pre-
vent any individual or any number
Of individuals using the provision Of
the direct primary law and filing
their declaration of candidacy for of
fee.
1t would have the effect, however,
of making the individual stand alone,
on his merits, and Independent of
party support.
The pre-primary convention would
file its slate under the same provi-
sion. When that slate was filed, the
candidate under that filing would
have the support, Endorsement, and
influence OF the party.
In that way you would crystalize
the party, restore its organization,
responsibility, and accountability,
and at the same time you would pre-
serve to the individual the right to
file indefinitely under the primary
law.
Second: You ought to amend the
primary law and raise the qualifca-
tions for Office. Men who are not quail
fled for the position have no right
to be elected. If you want to save
representative, government raise the
standard of office holders.

Of doubtful efficacy; while estab-
fishing more lenient terms, as re-
CARDS a further moratorium before
beginning interest payments, would
only leave the question where it is
continuing the potential burden and
its uncertainties.
Remove Uncertainty.
70 is desirable. therefore, from a
purely business point of view. that
this uncertainty about what may be
the ultimate actual demand on Euro
pean national treasures should be re-
moved at the earliest possible mo-
ment. 1t has been suggested that this
can be done under present eircum-
stances only by cancellation of GER
tain inter-governmental debts by all
the creditor governments, leaving a
comparatively small part of the re-
parations debt and a few of the less
err obligations covering transactions
indirectly connected with the war.
Such a course would, under any
conditions, have its drawbacks, and
it would be quite useless, if it were
pursued without obtaining sufficient
guarantees and substantial evidence
that the debtor governments of Eur
ope would stop further imitation of
their currencies and floating debts re-
sulting from expenditures in excess
of revenues and would undertake
either to debate their finances or,
better, to inaugurate a program Of
public improvements destined to bu-
lid up their industry and trade. This
latter policy would involve less hard
ships than defation, and would place
the debtor countries in a far better
position to carry the burden of their
internal obligations, the floating
parts of which could be funded from
time to time and SO gradually accom-
plish the sterilization of financial and
economic conditions.
There would really be little use in
the remission of the debts due to us
unless we would have some assurance

Government to let its currency be-
come debased and its finances disor-
ganized almost to the point of insol-
vency.
The economic difficulty in obtain
ing payment of Preparations and other
inter-governmental debts lies in the
fact that transfer of funds from one
country to another can now be made
only through the medium of transfers
of goods and services. So far, how
ever, the foreign trade of most of the
European countries is only a small
fraction of their pre-war trade, and
