AMERICA IS NOT.
+. ISOLATED, SAYS
|, BURTON
Congressman Tells British us.
Has Friendly Interest and
Desires to Help Europe.
BY International News Service.

: LONDON. July 24.-Congressman
Theodore E. Burton Of Ohio, who
: IL investigating European condi.
tons, denied today that the United
States has completely isolated her.
self from Europe. He explained
that Americans believe it would be
unwise to mix closely in European
affairs for fear Of the accusation
Of favoritism.
ut is a mistake to think that
? America is not interested in Europe
or is not DESTROYS of doing what she
, can for improvement of conditions, -
said Burton.
. But the prevalent feeling is that
any effort on our part, whether
! through membership of the League
OF Nations or otherwise, would be
futile because the repulsion between
the different countries is such that
our position as friend of all or as
impartial arbitrator is not desired.
Each country desires that we
assume a partisan attitude. l know
what is in the British reparatio as
note, but I question whether any
answer will come from Washington
which would looks towards our tax
ing sides.
There is a strong sentiment that
while France may be justified in
entering the Ruhr her course of
proceeding was unwise.''
The primary object Of Congress
man Burton's visit is to attend the
1nterparliamentary Union at Copen-
hagen next month.

HARDING PLANS
ORETOUCH
SPEECHES
Will Answer Criticisms of Out
bound Addresses on Way
Down Coast.
By GEORGE r. HOLMES.
International News Service.

ABOARD u. S. S. HENDERSON
WITH PRESIDENT HARDING,
ENROUTE TO VANCOUVER, B.
c., July 24.-The critics who found
fault with President Harding s
speeches on his westward trip
across the continent will be an
swered in a series of addresses the
President plans making in Seattle
and southwark to San Diego.
The more than three weeks that
have elapsed since the President
spoke last in Tacoma have allowed
him ample time to weigh the results
and witness the reaction to his
scores of addresses on his outward
trip. These reflections will be en-
bodied in his coastwise utterances
His outward bound speeches, which
aroused controversy, such as that
on foreign affairs at st. Louis and
the agricultural situation at HUH h
inson, probably will be retouched
upon during the Pacific journey.
According to the present plan
the President will make his Seattle
speech Friday a round up and sum
mary of his Alaskan trip. The
President is known to deem Sea 1.e
the proper place for such a speech
inasmuch as 1t is the gateway to
Alaskan territory. Agricultural con
ditions will probably be retouched
upon at Sacramento, California, and
it is not unlikely that the President
will reply to the recent utterances
of Senator Bookhart, of Iowa.
Since the President has been alb
sent from Washington, the Mime.
sofa election revealing still further
discomfort among the rural popu'
lace has convinced President Hard.
ing of the need for more Presiden-
tial utterances on this problem.
The problem of foreign affairs
will be dealt with again in San
Francisco July 81.
The Henderson was steaIning to-
day off Charlotte Sound. No stops
were made, in order to gain time to
allow President Harding a few
hours for fishing in Campbell river
tomorrow. He has been promised
the best trout fishing in Canada.
The party arrives in Vancouver
Thursday morning.

only hope that this human PROPOSE

One vote can kill it. but If it

ference will be called and definite
"details for starting on a course Of
limiting the supply Of the drug at
the source can be agreed upon"
Congressman Porter, who Is
chairman of the house foreign af-
fairs committe, said the opposition
:of Great Britain to the American
plan was very pronounced. and that
France finally was won over and
.helped carry the American proposal.
Recent cable dispatches told Of
the diplomatic strategy which the
american delegation had to use in
order to achieve the victory of hav-
singlits principles endorsed. These
Included the withdrawal of the
american delegation from the ses-
