HIRAM JOHNSON CONDEMNS
THE U. s. FOREIGN POLICY
California Senator, in a Campaign Ad.
dress, Also Defends the Soldier
Bonus.

Chicago.-Senator Hiram Johnson,
in his first pubic address since an
nouncing his candidacy for the re-
publican nomination for president,
condemned the foreign policy at
Washington which he said had been
attempting to commit America to
"undisclosed European a~dventures,'
ever since the armistice. 1T is the
first duty of citizens to resist this
policy"
Senator Johnson went on record,
not only advocating the national bo'
nus and also a definite reduction in
taxes, but outlined his idea Of how
these two Things could be accom-
plished.
He also advocated a constitutional
amendment that would make child
labor laws and women's minimum
wage laws legal; suggested remedies
for farmers troubles, and then
launched into an attack on the ad-
ministration policy toward the Euro
pean situation and also against
America joining the PREPARATIONS
conference.
II do not protest against an Amer.
lean policy toward Europe said
Senator Johnson. 81 protest against
an American policy which dOes not
know what it is, and which seeks
to discover itself or to hide itself, by
first going into a conference with
Europe. 1t is humiliating that we
can not speak our minds, save with
the consent of other nations or in
CONJUNCTION with them. II an admin
t~istration does not like an existing
situation abroad, why not say go?
Our position in the world is such,
our financial and potential power so
great that our utterances would be
Of supreme Importance. Throw 1T
into conference, where there are no
morals, where it is in a helpless
minority, and it is lost.
at is undeniably to the interest of
every country that all other coun-
tries should be prosperous and that
the world should be at peace.
"If the administration at Washing
ton out of it's knowledge of the dip
lOmatic facts is able to see in Europe
an opportunity for American action,
l ask it to say precisely and defin-
itely what that opportunity is and
what that action should be.
What | venture to denounce, what
l venture to resist. and shall always
resist, is not the effort to have an
American foreign policy, but the eff
fort, the continuous effort, to post
pone having an American policy in
favor Of going into European inter.
national organizations where the
policy reached is bound to be not
American, but European,

RADICAL BLOC WILL
PUSH ITS PROGRAM
Senator CummIns Called upon 70
Quit One Of His TWO
Senate Positions.

Washington, d. C.-The radical bloc
In the senate made its first open move
to force the old guard to surrender the
powerful interstate commerce com
mittee Craftsmanship to Senator RoD-
ert NJ. La Toilette, republican, Wis
consin.
As spokesman for the bloc, Senator
Norris, republican, Nebraska, calico
upon Senator Cunning, republican,
Iowa, and assured him that the radl-
calls stood ready to support him 1or
the presidency pro tempore or the
senate provided he would give up the
craftsmanship of the interstate COM
merce committee.
Senator Cummins now holds both
positions, but it will be difficult II not
impossible for him to continue IN TINS
dual capacity during the approaching
session. The interstate commerce
| committee will have charge OF the all.
important transportation problem n
the duties, as well as the salary OF
the president pro tempore will be
greatly increased because OF the ele-
walton Of Calvin Coolidge to the preSi-
dency. Hence, Mr.. Cummins is called
upon to make a choice between the
two.
II he gives up the Craftsmanship,
Senator La Folettee, leader of the
radicals, will succeed to it under the
sacrosanct seniority rule which must
be upheld even when it applies to La
Toilette. If he will quietly choose
the presidency pro tempore, the radl-
Gals will give him their support, Sen
ator La Toilette will step into the in
terstate committee chair
manship and complete harmony will
prevail. If he decides to quit the
presidency pro tempore and hold the
craftsmanship, the radicals will put
up their own candidate for the presi
dency pro tempore, WELD thelr
balance Of power, create a deadlocR
and block the organization Of the
senate.
On behalf of the old guard Senator
Watson, republican, Indiana, and
Senator SmoOt, republican, Utah
conferred with Senator Cummins and
urged him to remain as chairman OF
the interstate commerce committee
and give up the presidency pro tenn
pore. 1t is understood that a con
siderable number Of the regulars
want to support Senator Curtis, re
publican, Kansas, for the presidency
pro tempore.

That this will be the policy Of the
