Source Of information through

The proof, he said is contained in
indisputable records. He plans to

chine, was paid for by the Bank Of
North Dakota, but was ordered by
Geo. A. Totten, Jr., when the latter
was campaign manager for the Nom

to prove that the equipment was de-
livered to the Nonpartisan league

AMERICA Will Be FORCED TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT EUROPE Whatever OUTCOME AT GENOA

if and stay out of European entangle-
ments. and America can be prosperous
as a self contained nation"
The moral duty of America to take
account of the unhappy state OF Eu-
rope and to do something about 1t on
grounds other than Americas own
commercial prosperity is a separate
question. With this aspect OF the
problem these Republican leaders re-
fuse to have anything to do whatever.
This is a situation which probably
exceeds in importance any other as
pect of American politics, or indeed,
of the world situation generally. If
the Harding administration is determ-
ined to do something about Europe,
that fact must have more weight IN
the world situation than any other one
factor Even if America did not have
the clear public evidence that the
Harding administration is beginning
to think of action in regard to Amer1
can relations with Europe, that step
would be easily foreseen from the rae
tors inherent to the situation.
The Genoa conference can have only
one of two outcomes: One is failure
and the other is success no matter
which Of these two is the outcome, 1t
will be easily apparent the instant
after the Genoa conference adjourns,
it is up to the United States to do
something.
America Enmeshed
The ways in which America is un-
avoidably enmeshed in the European
| situation are almost innumerable. The
| collection of 1900, 100000 of debts
| from European nations is involved II
whatever the Genoa conference does
on the whole subject of external debts
! The resumption of our internationa
trade to normal conditions is tied VI
with whatever Europe does about IN
! ternational exchange. The fact thai
we have the largest store of gold II
the United States is tied up with what
ever Europe does about the revamp
ing of the currencies of the various
nations. Americas policy about thu
recognition of Russia and about doins
! something to restore Russia to health
cannot continue to be the same afte
the nations of Europe shall have takeI
whatever steps they make in regard t.
that country.
But it is not necessary to recite thu
long catalogue of conditions whicl
make it inevitable for America to d.
| something about Europe just as 500
as it is known what the Genoa con
ference does or fails to do.-Copyrigh
