FIERY CROATIAN
LEADER FINDING
REFUCE,LoNDON

LONDON, Oct ( 16.-Stephen Ra-
ditch, the stormy petrol of Jugo,
slavia, Is now in London. The IRE
pressible Croatian patriot, who has
beeen compared to Patrick Henry
Kossuth, d'Annunzio and De Valera,
fed across six European borders un-
recognized and found refuge in the
British capital The Belgrade au-
thorities had accused him of high
treason for defying the government
and comparing the country's young
queen, Marie, to Madame de Pompa-
dour for her extravaganza.
Raditch was formerly bookseller
in Zagreb, Croatia. He is gifted
with great eloquence, and all the in
dependent spirit and fiery timber OF
the true patriot. He began his blood
less fight for home rule against the
Serbs in 1918, after Croatia had be-
come merged with the new kingdom
of the Serbs, Croats and Sloyenes.
Like the sons of Ireland who fought
to achieve the independence OF their
country, Raditch from that time never
ceased the struggle for the freedom
of his countrymen. He was con-
stant torn in the side of Belgrade
government, which both feared and
respected him. After warning him
many times against his radical ut
terances, the cabinet finally had him
arrested, but soon ordered his re-
lease when his supporters threatened
a revolution.
Raditch is sometimes described as
the Mystery Man Of Europe, and he
has always been an enigma even to
the Serbs, who variously call him
scoundrel and lunatic. But
none of these epithets is regarded by
outsiders as just. for the Croatian
leader had behind him the whole OF
his little nation. He is small in
stature and unimpressive In appear
ance, but possesses striking intel
lectual talents, much charm OF man
ner. and many ideas which tumble
over each other in their haste to
find expression.

THREE POSSIBLE ALASKA POLICIES
CONSIDERED BY HARDING PRIOR TO
ms DEATH, WRITES correspondent

That President Harding, while he
had not formulated definite Alas
kan policy prior to his death, had in
mind three courses from which he
expected to select one, and that he
confided them to Secretary Hoover,
is asserted in special dispatch
appearing in the Indianapolis News
on Sept. 14th, from Frederick j.
Haskin, Washington correspondent.
Mr. Harding, according to the cor
respondent, gave no intimation as
to the course he would eventually
adopt.
Had Worked out Plans
The article in question follows in
full:
'1t is the Characteristic of republics
that they are inclined 20 honor their
great men after they have passed
away rather than during the term of
their lives. An example of this is
that in the land of the free one of
the freest things is popular criti-
cism. usually given in an impersonal
spirit. devoid of malice or bitterness;
but when the hour comes in which a
statesman passes away, the spirit of
criticism gives way to kindlier
thoughts of the achievements of the
dead man.
Considered in this light. the last
known policy of President Warren G.
Harding is worthy of special examina-
tion. Through the members of the
cabinet, who were with him on his
Alaskan trip. Information has been
working out for the improvement of
affairs in Alaska. For some years
Alaska has shown a tendency to de-
cline in population and in activity.
This has been so at variance with the
usual course of any American juris-
diction that Mr.. Harding thought 1t
his duty to make a special trip to the
great northern territory to determine
what the federal government could
do to improve conditions. The vigor
of his investigation was in some mea-
sure responsible for the end, renitr-

ease.
"Mr. Harding was overtaken by this
illness while he was engaged in consid-
ering what should be done for Alas
ka. and therefore he, was unable to
complete definite policy. He had,
however. sifted down the information
that he had obtained until three pos
sible courses of reform appeared
open. He died before he had made
a final selection among these three
courses, but his definition and group
ing of the three tentative plans may
be regarded as representing his last
constructive work for the nation.
1.-The primary difficulty IN Alaska,
Mr.. Harding recognized to be an ex-
cessire overlapping OF authority and
responsibility. He was impressed by
the necessity of better organization
and especially of Capitalization of
administrative responsibility The

LLOYD GEORGE
LETS ASQUITH
LEAD BATTLE
Will Assume Second Place in
Liberal Fight for the
Time Being

London, Nov. 15.-(By the Asso-
ciated Prcss)-The question whether
Herbert Asquith or David Lloyd
George will assume the leadership of
the reunited liberal party which has
been exciting the greatest interest
in view of the deep-rooted political
animosity between these two states
men appeared to have been settled
quietly at their peace meeting on
Tuesday. No official announcement
has been forthcoming from Liberal
headquarters. In fact this issue has
been avoided by Liberal politicians
and the Liberal press but political
experts in position to know the
facts say the situation is this:
Mr.. Lloyd George has agreed to
work with and under Mr.. Asqritn,
in view of the latter's position as
the older statesman and leader Of
the third strongest party in the
house as that body is constituted at
present, the labor party being the
second and the Lloyd George party
ranking fourth.
Should the liberals be successful
in the election Mr.. Asquith will be
asked TO form cabinet in which
Mr.. Lloyd George Nll be second in
command
But Mr. Asquith, having thus pre-
served his dignity, would retire from
the premiership upon which Mr..
Lloyd George would assume the lead
ership of the liberals and assume
again his old role of prime minister.
