Senator Johnson has completely
missed the main points at issue in The
Times plan to avoid war.
Il am opposed to alliances with
European countries for the protection
Of any European nation" he states.
The plan suggests no such alliance,
In 1928, President Monroe took Peru,
Chill, Brazil, and other far-off South
American republics under the protec-
ton Of the United States. BY doing
so, he believed he could make the
peace of this country more secure.
The Times plan suggests that
President Harding undertake some
what similar duties, Of very much
more limited nature, in Europe, and
that Britain should do likewise.

Doctrine was one of the most daring
pronunciamentos in all history, bold

loan in the present circumstances to

Opposed to Loan
So is The Times. An "interna-
tional" loan to Germany was sug-
gested, but on condition that circum-
stances radically alter.

BY HIRAM JOHNSON
United States Senator From California
your plan in brief. in it's most i'm
portant aspects, is for full participa-
ton by the United States in the rep
arations commission, the present
uper-government of Germany with
sovereign governmental powers; col
lection Of the amount Of reparatons
under allied supervisiora an interna-
tionaI loan to Germany, part TO go to
France; military sanctions in case Of
default on the part of Germany; a
guarantee by the United States and
Great Britain to France against the
possibility of German aggression; ad-
justment Of the debts due to the
United States from foreign countries.
Opposed to Alliances
It am opposed to alliances with
European countries for the protection
of any European nation. I am opposed
to any gov ernmental loan in the pres
ent circumstances to Europe. I will
not consent to sending a single Ameri-
can soldier TO Europe or shedding one
drop of American blood in Europe's
present quarrels. And your plan
means just these things. or it means
nothing.
you speak Of something construo-
tive in the present European crisis.
What you suggest, in my Judgment,
is Observation-Disclosures of our cher.
ished policies and ultimately possibly
Of our Republic.
Should Speak Alone
Whence comes the idea that our
Nation can only speak IT concert
with European nations, that our voice
must be silled unless a number Of
others join with us? II we are uIs-
pleased with any country's actions
which may concern US. we can speak
our dlspleasure II in our superior
wisdom, we see the way. obscure to
others, we may point it. And we
speak better and more persuasively az
our own Republic than as the one dis
interested, minority member in A CON
ference Of selfishness. greed, imperial
ism, and mllitarism."

PARIS, Feb. 1.-The last connect

tente seem destined to be broke be
cause of the attitude of France at the
Lausanne Near Eastern peace parley
Wen-inforned members of the Poin-
care government Wednesday declared
that France is determined to negotiate
a separate peace with Turkey even
though there is a rupture between
Great Britain and the Moslem Empire.
Charges of bad faith made by Brit
ish representative at Lausanne are
denied by officials at the Quai d'Orsay.
France does not regard her attitude
as a violation of any agreement with
England and it is pointed out that
Frances consistent position has been
that the treaty which was handed to
the Turks at Lausanne Wednesday
was not a form of ultimatum.
1t was stated that the agreement
entered into between France and Brit
ain in 1914, providing that no separate
peace shall be concluded with the enc
mics in the World War. is not ap-
plicable in the present situation, since
Lloyd George abetted the Greeks in
the attack on Turkey IN 1919.
The official newspaper, lie Temps,
sums up Frances case by stating;
France in declaring that she is ready
TO continue negotiations has served
the interests of the nations and
peace"

Pedro Angeles probably estab-
lished a record for Imperial county
when he was sentenced today by
Judge Shenk to serve not less than
two years in the state prison at San
Quentin for second degree robbery,
before he had even been taken to
the county Jail.
Angeles was broughtsto this city
today from Calexico and presented
a woe-begone appearance in court,
due to the treatment accorded him
by Mrs. Frank Miller in that city,
when he attempted to snatch her
purse from her hand. Instead of
being daunted by the man s attack,
Mrs. Miller ''swung hard to the
head to use a ring phrase, inflict-

of several men, who kept Angeles

The crime occurred Saturday
night, and when Angeles was ar

Calexico this morning, he pleaded
guilty. He was Immediately brought
to Ell Centre to stand trial in the
superior court, and following his
sentence, was taken to the county
Jail to await transportation to the
state prison.
Angeles admitted to the police
that he had succeeded in getting
purse from another woman before
attacking Mrs. Miller, and thought
he would have similar success with
her. He acknowledged his mistake,
however, and seemed relieved to
