SENATOR JOHNSON BITTERLY FL YS. COURT PROPOSAL
(Continued from Page one)

this distress and want, we would have a happy, contented and pros porous people.
 "I suggest to my conservative brethren that recent events indicate they must choose whether progres- sive things shall be done in a con servative way or in a radical way. You may have to take progressivism or radicalism will take you"
 As for the second contention, John son declared:
 T do not share the view either oi Americas capacity to save Europe or of Europe's incapacity to save it. self European intelligence solved previous situations-such as the ghastly one that followed the 3( years war-without any help from the United States and often without the comfort of knowing that there ever was going to be a United States
 Tt is not American wisdom that France and England want. Let us not permit our vanity and egotism to fool us. The United States is the worlds largest reserVior of money and the worlds largest reservoir of potential military man power.
 Does Not Fear Chaos.
 T do not for an instant believe that Europe will degenerate into chaos. Wars there will be while an tagonistic races with burning un- abted hatreds face each other across imaginary boundary lines. I saw no evidence of chaos in Europe, but saw plain evidence of future con- flict. Another bloody war Is in the making. l would prevent 1t if could; but If that bloody war is no concern of ours and comes from would not send single American soldier again across the seas"
 Foreign Policies.
 And then, as to the position Amer ica should assume:
 Tt is nonsense to talk of turning our back upon the world and main taining aloofness from it's daily ac- tivities l would have a definite for elgn policy for our nation, but pol icy of our own. It is only the timid and the fearful who ask others tc unite with them in order to exercise their moral weight. The strong, the self reliant, the just, by the mere expression of a righteous view, give infinitely more effect to their mora. weight Free. independent, unfet- tered by league or association, court or conference, America can speak and the world will heed"
 As to his own unmitigated opposi- tion to foreign entanglements," the California senator took this pledge with all the dramatic power of his fiery oratory:
 T will not take our country into this class of selfish ambitions ana the yet existing racial feuds which have written the bloody pages o1 centuries of European history Ii we become part of what is happen ing abroad. we would be but the dupe or the prey of the one faction or the other.
 "So earnestly and so firmly do believe that the future of the repub- lie depends upon keeping out of the turmoil, the strife and the controver- sies, the schemes and the machina- tions of Europe, that we can have no higher resolve than to dedicate our selves to the duty of maintaining the distinctive American policy and keeping our country free from every that nolicv. In my humble fashion, I dedicate myself to maintain Amer ica. inst as America has ever been.'

the entire nation. It will be the same way with the wheat failure and what we need is for the business men of the country to do their part. The result may not be felt directly down here, but everyone will feel it in- directly. I've can never tell you where the cloud will move to. Who among you can tell if the same cloud now hanging over the west will not be hanging over the south next year? There is no golden rule governing this condition. The only way to guard against an economic crisis Is to operate along the proper lines. The law of supply and demand can not be overthrown by puny efforts of man."
 Senator Underwood did not men tion a--y political issues in his speech Wednesday, but he made it clear that the assistance of America was badly needed in uroDe to straig' ten out affairs and that unless European governments became stabilized the American citizens would be great sufferers.
 The energy of man is the only way to produce and as half of Europe is not working it can be seen that half of 1t is not producing anything. Sta bility does not exist in governments  in countries where no stability eX- ists.'
 Appeals To Business Men.
 Senator Underwood closed with an appeal for the business men to stand up and do their share in the crisis.
 "On the battle fields of France the boys of America did their part. only hope and pray that in this criti- cal day for the world the business ms. and citizensh.p of America Will not funk"

senator Brewer was pleased with the action of the finance and taxa tion committee, and stated that it indicated that the legislature is changing it's opinion expressed in the Long resolution and is willing to listen to the appeal of those who favor the abolition of the convict lease system,
 Ttere were indications that the subcommittee or the majority will seek to prepare a compromise meas ure which will take the control of county convicts from the counties and place it in the state.
 Senator Brewer said he would be opposed to such a plan as long as the state maintained the convict lease for the working of state convicts.
