NHANCELLOR MARX had a better
~ reception in London, from the in
ternational bankers than he will have
on his return to Berlin, if the nation
Ialist press is any criterion of German
feeling. Marx is warned that the Lon
don agreement would not receive the
necessary two-thirds majority in the
lReichstag. The nationalists of Ger
Imany, however, like their prototypes
in France, having no aims except the
Interests of their particular capitalist
Igroup, can be purchased for price
land the bankers are so anxious to put
1.-THE Dawes plan across that they are
willing to mollify the tempers of the
Inationalists by favorable concessions.
The only real opposition to the Dawes
plan in Germany is coming from the
Communists.
THE European Socialists are solidly
lined up behind the Dawes plan.
Dawes, the strikebreaker! Dawes,
the organizer of the Minute Men of
the Constitution! International soil
darity after all does not mean much to
the Socialists. In America Berger is
against the Dawes plan. Berger is
supporting LaFollette. The New York
Nation is for the Dawes plan. The
Nation is supporting LaFollette. So
far neither LaFollette nor Samuel
Gompers have, to our knowledge, COM
mented on the Dawes plan. Can the
American Federation Of Labor sup
port the Dawes plan and at the same
time fight Dawes, candidate for vice.
president on the Republican Party
ticket? Can LaFollette remain silent
on the Dawes plan while attacking
Coolidge, who gave the Dawes plan
his blessing from the start? Not very
likely, but the Wisconsin senator will
-.stack 1t for purely electioneering
purposes as Harding did the League
of Nations.
THERE is still an opportunity for
/ wide-awake Americans to make
money, provided they keep their eyes
open. A former Irish-American saloon
keeper in New York, walked down to
Wall Street and bought per cent
Imperial German war bonds hoping in
a vague sort of way that they would
be worth real money some day. He
invested 1915 in 100000 marks
worth of those bonds. Today his
bonds are worth $87,500. Others were
equally fortunate or even more So
That is one of the ways money is
made. If an ex-bartender was able
to make profit on German bonds
on a mere guess, how much did the
bankers who were on the inside,
make?
NNE of the profound" statements
~ made by Calvin Coolidge in his
speech accepting the nomination for
president, is the following: Very
early in their search for a sound me-
thod of self government the American
people discovered that the only prac-
tical way to secure responsible poll
teal action was by the formation of
parties" 1t seems to us that politi-
cal parties existed in England when
the fathers of this country were dis
GUESSING the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. But that is a Coolidgeism. It
will go down with the morons.
n REVOLUTION in Spain is con-
~ sidered imminent. Regardless of
what Alfonso tells the New York
Times reporter in the presence of
Mr.. Moore, the American ambassador
(who calls Alfonso the "Chief" and
his son, the Duke Of Alba, "Jimmy'')
there is trouble brewing. Morocco
will be to to Alfonso, what Sedan was
to Napoleon III" writes one Of the
Spanish politicians who was exiled
by Primo de Rivera and afterwards
escaped from his place of captivity.
The Moroccan venture is becoming
increasingly unpopular and Spanish
republicans are becoming more dar-
