When the conference met Governor
Sweet announced that the draft of the

Immediately objected, declaring that

of our rule against resolutions"
Il am opposed to the Eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead act, and
the people of Wisconsin know it,
Governor Blaine declared, "but there
is no criticism of enforcement of the
laws in our state. If we are here to
memorabilia on the enforcement of
laws we should neglect none. This
fanaticism is base hypocrisy"
Governor Parker of Louisiana said
he would resign from the conference
if a single governor signed the me-
mortal.
"The Ku Klux Khan is the greatest
issue in America today" he declared.
THAT question demands the time and
attention of this meeting rather t.,an
mere words on the Eighteenth amend
ment."
Governor Pat M. Neff of Texas took
the opposite side.

Almost a Declaration.


Coming, as it does, on the heels of
the calls of former Premier Lloyd
George for French acceptance of the
Hughes plan, the Harvey speech is
regarded as having an unusual import
ance and as being almost the equiva-
lent of declaration from Secretary
Hughes himself.
There is no question that Colonel
Harvey stated accurately the views OF
both Presiden, Coolidge and -.
Hughes and it is the belief here that
the speech was intended to provide an
opening for France to accept the
Hughes plan at this time, though they
rejected it summarily last winter.
Moreover, it is the understanding here
that the speech was intended as a
direct statement of the policy of Pres
ident Coolidge that the United States
stands ready to help Europe econom-
ically; that this government is not,
however, going to force it's aid on
Europe and that it is up to Europe.
especially France, to show how the
United States can help.
European Invitation Awaited
1t was said at the State department
that the speech had the thorough APP
proval of the department and that it
fairly stated the attitude of the United
States. This means, of course, that
the United States will not under any
circumstances at the present time
make an offer of aid to Europe, but
will gladly welcome an invitation from
Europe to be of aid. This is directed
especially to the French, who, by
turning down summarily the Hughes
plan for commission of international
experts to determine Germany's ability
to pay, closed the door against the
United States.
