BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

n DEVELOPMENTS of last week al
- most If not quite put the Genoa
conference on the rocks. More than
that, they brought Great Britain and
France to the verge of a rupture. At
this writing the prospect is dark, for
all except the soviet Russians, who
appear to have Unanswered themselves
into just the position they wanted.
Prodded by Tchitcherin and his col
leagues to give quick answer to the
proposals of the Russians, the allies
drew up terms which Lloyd George
declared embodied the maximum that
would be granted Russia and the mini
mum that would be demanded from
her. Summarized, these were:
Russia recognizes her prewar debt.
The war debt will be recognized,
but reduced.
Russia must restore foreign property
or indemnify the owners for damage or
cOnfscation.
Russia will be expected to take such
judicial and other measures as will at
tract foreigners to Russia for business
purposes.
France had yielded to the British on
the matter of absolute restoration OF
confiscated property, at the insistence
of Lloyd George, but forced an amend
ment forbidding property in Russia to
be alIocated to other persons than the
former owners. To this Lloyd George
appended this rider:
IF exploitation of property can only
be carried out by it's incorporation
in a general group, the preceding ar
rangements will not apply"
France then signed but Belgium
absolutely refused to approve the prop
ostion. Barthou hurried to Paris
and Premier Poincare told him some
things that had not come out at Genoa.
Thereupon the French cabinet agreed
unanimously to support Belgium and
withdrew the assent to the proposals
offered to Russia. This alone was
enough to strain international rela-
lions, but the Paris press added TO 1t
by its explanation of the dispute over
the property clause. 1t made the fiat
ing to transfer to English and Ger
mans oil field property that belongs
to Frenchmen and Belgians, and that
LLOYD George added the above men
toned rider to further that scheme.
1t did not seem probable, anyhow
that the Russians would accept the
terms offered them. They were espe-
cially displeased with the fact that
recognition of the soviet government
was not included, and they did not
like the article concerning foreign
property restoration. There were
other features that did not suit them,
and they got into communication with
Moscow. with the intimation that their
answer might not be ready for some
time.

g AMUEL GOMPERS was in the pub
~ lie eye and the public ear to con-
siderable extent last week. In a May
day manifesto the venerable head OF
the American Federation of Labor
made a vigorous attack on BOlSheviSm,
declaring that American recognition Of
the Russian sOviets would constitute a
needless and base betrayal of civiliZa-
ton" He denounced the Bolshevist
propaganda in this country and assert
ed that he had ample proof to substan-
tate the charges that RED" millions
have been sent to America for propa-
ganda purposes and that "W. z. Fos-
ter, who had no money, went to Mos
COW, and came back and announced
that he was building a great secret
machine to undermine the American
labor movement and turn it over to the
Red International, owned by Lenin.
He began publication of an expensive
magazine and proclaimed a thousand
secret agents in a thousand commune
ties"
A few days later Mr.. Gompers was
one of the principal speakers at a
mass meeting called by the New York
branch of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, and in his adj
dress said that Tabor must make the
fight now, and we will never stop fight
ing until the rights of the people have
been restored to them" Continuing,
he said: II and the federation repre-
sent are in favor of beer and light
wines and against any attempt to en-
force sumptuary laws aimed at per-
sonal liberty. Temperance was the
rule of the great mass of organized
labor, but the prohibitionists and the
so-called Anti-Saloon Leaguers have
done more to undermine the morality
and Temperance of the workingman
than any other agency / know. | have
travelled all over the United States be-
fore prohibition, including its so-called
dry territories, and today as l pass
through these sections 1 have found
more drunkenness than ever before"

Playing Safe.

In spite of repeated warnings from
his father, little Bobby persisted In
driving nails into blocks and boards.
He had arrived at play-at-carpenter
stage.
One morning dad heard the familiar
pounding, and looking out he saw Bob
by busily banging away-his little sis
ter, Mary, down beside him, apparent
ly looking on.
Haven't 1 told you, Bobby, that
you will mash your fingers If you drive
.nails?" the father asked.
Eyes, 1 know dad, but Mary's hold
ing the nail."-Judge.

Stops EpiIeptic Attacks,

Professor Trocelle, surgeon COM
.nander in the Italian navy and lee
turer on nervous diseases in the Uni
Tersity of Rome, reports great sue
i,ess in treating epilepsy with tetra-
tartrate of boron and potassium. In
aght cases in an asylum four patients
ceased TO have attacks, while the other
four were so far improved that they
behaved better and were less violent.

TN THE United States the most in
tereSting event of the week was the
defeat Of Senator Harry S. New for
denomination in the Indiana Republic
an primaries by former Senator Albert
J. Beverage. Since New was running
on the record of the national admins
tration his failure was looked on as
something of blow to that admins
tratiOn and the regulars" in the SEN
ate were frankly disappointed. Sena-
tor Mccormick, chairman of the Re-
publican senatorial committee, how
ever, said the committee had taken no
part in the contest and would support
the nominee theoretically. Mr.. Bev-
eridge served twelve years in the SEN
ate and was leader in the Progressive
party movement. He made his cam
paign on such planks as demands for
the repeal of the AdamsOn law, repeal
or amendment of the Sherman law,
adoption of sales tax and the promo
ton of greater efficiency and wiser
economy in government.
Samuel Ralston, former governor Of
Indiana, easily won the Democratic
nomination, and In him Beveridge will
find strong contender for the senate
seat. 1t may be that modification Of
the Volstead act will become a promi-
nent issue of the campaign.

n ESPITE the hard working propa-
- gandists, the American admins
tratiOn shows no signs Of willingness
to take part at present in all these
European negotiations. It's position
concerning Russia was made clear by
Secretary of State Hughes in his reply
to a delegation of the Women's Inter-
national League for Peace and Free
dom which asked him to advocate the
immediate recognition of the soviet
regime. Mr.. Hughes told the women
that recognition is in the control Of
those who dominate the affairs of Rus
sia, and would be accorded only to
government competent to discharge it's
international relations and demonstrate
ing a disposition to discharge them.
He added that there are no legal OBJ
stacles to trade with Russia.

1t is quite apparent that what the
soviet government wishes is not a gen.

she already has with Germany 1t
probably could do this with Great
Britain and Italy and the neutral ma
tons, and probably with some other

jected the second Of these and the
Germans the third.

indicated by a statement in Sketch OF
London, which says it has learned
from a reliable French source that
preparations are being made for i'm

of reserves, numbering about 100000.
Mr.. Lloyd George gave up his plan for
a meeting of the nations signatory to
the Versailles treaty in Genoa to take
up the matter of enforcing the German
payments, but still hopes it may be held
elsewhere. The French insist that no
such meeting be held with after May 81.

~ URING most of last week the
- predicted battle between Gems.
WI Pei-Fu and Chang Tsao-Lin ragged
in the vicinity of Picking. Judging
from the dispatches, WI was having
the best of the conflict. The casual
ties were rather heavy. On Wednes-
day President Hsu made another ef-
fort to stop the hostilities, calling to
the attention of the rival commanders
the fact that the foreign diplomats had
protested three times against the
fighting and had warned of serious con-
sentences to China should foreigners
suffer from the hostilities. Almost all
the plans regarding China made at the
Washington conference have been sus-
nended because of the warfare. The
Chinese press is almost unit In de-
CRYING the fighting, asserting that 1t Is
only harmful to the country. which
ever side wins. Early in the week
General Chang issued statement
that General WI had been killed by
artillery fire. This has not been con-
firmed.
SIM Yat Sen, head of the South
China government at Canton, asserted
he had combined with General Chang
and would soon start for northern
China. Suns own government was
weakened by the detection of Gen.
Chen Chiung-Min, who resigned the
governorship of Kwantung.
