of our war associates. American
troops were left In Germany on the
plain promise and understanding that
they would be maintained by funds
handed over by Germany to the allies.
The allies have taken the funds, paid
themselves and ignored as. If they
did not want the troops and were not
willing they should be maintained
at the cost of Germany's payments to
a common fund, they should have
said as much three years ago.
We am, in this matter, feeling the
resentment that Europe nurses
against us for refusing to enter the

DEMOCRACY WISHES TO

Extract from speech of Representa-

In the year 1919, after the war was

over $19, 900, O0e, 900 and you did not

EUROPE MUST PAY
FOR TROOP EXPENSE

The American state department
serves notice on Great Britain, France,
Italy, Belgium, and Japan that the
United States is not going to be
drawn into a debate ove debt-Jug-
Cling or the merits of single VS.. dou-
BILE entry bookkeeping in DER claims
for American army upkeep on the
Rhine. We have presented our bill,
with please Remit written across it.
Why should We be drawn into any
such discussion? America has want
ed to withdraw her troops from the
start. On the insistence, urgings,
in~tercessions and pleas of u former
allies we kept them there because
they wanted them In the name and in
terest of allied solidarity. From the
beginning there has been American
pressure to bring the troops home.
This was a factor in the 1920 cam
paign, their removal was pledged by
the Harding administration, and the
allied urgings have kept them there
against the American Will.
Maintenance of troops In an occu-
pied country has priority, a first
mortgage and a prior lien over all
other claims. international law has
plenty of such precedents. At the
present time the expenses of the
troops of Great Britain, France and
Belgium are met from German pay
ments before a gold mark is set aside
for any other form of PREPARATIONS.
Their claims do not wait, but ours
are to wait, in spite of the fact that
we also r doing police duty on the
Rhine.
It amounts to bad faith on tAe part

The government, during the general

ing operators subscribed at the be-
heat OF secretary Hoover; but, with

TO USE HIS POWER
RESOLVED TO USE FEDERAl
POWER FOR MAINTENANCE
OF TRANSPORTATION
Holds Eseh-cummIns Act 10 made
quate and Seeks q New Plan
to Make Rulings Of Board
Effective

Washington. - President Harding
Friday told congress and the nation
that he was resolved ITO use all the
power OF the government to main,
tain transportation and sustain the
right OF men to work."
Government by law must and will
be maintained" the president said. 'no
matter what clouds may gather, ne
matter what storms may ensue, No
matter what hardships may attend, or
what sacrifice may be necessary.
Stating that sympathetic railroad
strikes had developed and impaired
interstate commerce seriously, the
president said that trains deserted in
the Western desert had revealed the
cruelty an contempt for law on the
part Of some railway employees who
have conspired to paralyze transport
tation."
Asserting that the striking unions
in some instances had not held their
forces to law observance, Mr.. Hard
ing said "there Ia q state of lawless-
ness shocking to every conception Of
American law and order" and an
nounced his intention to invoke laws.

cies hindering interstate commerce
and requiring safety in railway ser.
vice.
In declaring positively for the right
OF men to work the president said that
in both the coal and railroad strikes
this right has been denied by assault
and violence" and In some cases
winked at by local authorities. He add.
ed: 1T is fair to say that the great
mass OF organized workmen do not
approve but they seem helpless to him
der. These conditions cannot remain
in free America"
Surely the threatening conditions
must impress the congress and the
country" the president went on. that

number and responsible for railway
management, or powerful In numbers
and constituting the necessary forces
in railroad operation, shall be permit

.perils public welfare"
The president declared . national
investigation for constructive recon-
| mendations as to the conduct OF the
coal industry to be imperative and
recommended a government commits
sion TO advise as to fair wages and
conditions.
Immediate legislation to establish
temporarily q national coal agency"
with necessary capital to purchase.
seel and distribute coal also was urged
by the executive.
Stating that the Esch- Cummins act
! in establishing the railroad labor
board was inadequate, being with
little or no power to enforce its dect
slons. the president recommended &C.
ton to make the boards decisions
enforceable and effective against
carriers and employees alike"
Other legislation recommendations
were for better protection Of aliens
and enforcement Of their treaty
rights" through q measure TO give
federal courts Jurisdiction in protect
ing aliens.
F, In discussing the coal situation the
president referred to what he termed
the shocking crime at Herrin, III.
which so recently shamed and horri
fled the country" and added the Incl
dent was 'butchery OF human being
wrought In madness"
