M EW YORK. June 21.-In a
I'M pit beneath the speaker s
III platform at Madison Square
Garden will be staged the prize act
of the Democratic Convention.
There. where once the tanbark
lay, will sit the Boards of Strategy
of the several candidates-each with
a bag of tricks. Some will use
sleight-of-hand; others just plain
bunk-but each, in turn, hopes to
bring down the house.
1t will be a twenty-ring circus
when the show gets fully under
way. Examinations will be quicker
than those at an amateur try-out;
and the wind-up will be a surprise
hit. Just who the head-hners will
be must remain a matter of specula-
ton until the very end.
Best Drilled Act
Judging from the rehearsals of the
past week, the McAdoo forces will
come onto the convention floor with
the best drilled act.
In the center of the group will sit

Effects OF
London
AGREEMENT

The agreements reached at the Lon
don conference concerning the applica-
ton of the Dawes plan to the repara-
tion and related problems give pro-
mise OF great advances in the ecOnO
mic rehabilitation OF Europe, accord
ing to the current issue of the
Guaranty Survey, published in New
York.
The co-ordinated proposals of the
First Committee OF Experts presented
to the R~eparatiOn Commission in
April for effecting the industrial and
fiscal adjustments necessary for the
collection and transfer Of %reparatiOn
money or its equivalent in goods have
been approved. The early function
ing Of the new plan is provided for,
the Survey continues.
An important feature of the set
Element is the provision for an inter
national loan OF approximately $780,
100000 to Germany, probably one
half of which will be offered 70
American investors. But the con-
templated participation in the loan
does not represent the most vital in
terest of Americans in these new de-
velOpments. The necessary readjust-
ments Of trade between the several
countries directly involved in the
transfer cf PREPARATION payments must
affect Our commerce with these and
other countries as well. Banking and
credit conditions also in this country
must sooner or later be influenced by
the financial aspects Of the economic
recovery abroad which is anticipated.
It is impossible TO foresee precisely
the nature and the extent IF these ef-
fects. Intensified competition with
certain branches Of American industry
and growing markets for the product
Of other branches may be expected.
And increasing foreign demand for
American capital investments will
probably play an important part in
the vast establishments which the eff
fective functioning Of the new ma
chinery will involve. In some quart
ers the apparent menace to domestic
interests and in others the new or
revived opportunity for service and
for profitable employment of u re-
sources is emphasized. Undoubtedly
the ultimate net result Of the recon-
dltlonlng OF European industry and
trade, however, will be on the whole
beneficial TO our own.
Some Unsolved Problems.
The qualification everywhere ev-
pressed in consequence of the success
ful outcome Of the London conference
should not be permitted to obscure
the problems which still remain 70
be solved. For the successful applica-
uon OF any plan of reparation nav
ments there must be a large measure
OF freedom for international ex-
change of commodities. Important
revlsions of existing trade barriers
may be called for. Many difficult
fiscal and currency reforms must he

n SWALD GARRISON WILLARD,
~ editor OF the Nation and one Of
the most obnoxious of the sO-called
'intellectuals" of America, stirred up
a hornets nest in the Institute OF Poll
tics at WilliamstOwn. Mass. by a
speech in which he charged that the
United States government aids Ameri-
can bankers and capitalists to exploit
weaker countries, especially in Latin
America, by supporting loans and in
vestments with the use Of military
forces controlled by politicians with
out principle" He declared: The
blood of 5000 Haitians slain by our
American marines and of the 400 dead
in Vera Cruz. mostly women and chill
dren, dishonors our good name. espe-
cially when involved with so sOrdid a
business as debt collection"

Indignantly replied: 81 have been 30
years in the navy and have never
known a case where the navy was
sent to collect a debt. The statement
that 1900 Haitians were killed by our
marines is outrageous. Il is not true
When charge like these are made
against our gallant forces they should
be sustained by more than a mere
statement" de added that the state
ment that the Americans killed WON
en- and children at Vera Cruz was a
lie. Willard said he got his infOrma-
ton from men on both sides. one of
whom was an American admiral, but
he declined to give that individuals
name. Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones

ments made by Willard, federation of

Citizens Urged to Help Keep Losses
Low Here to Win Ma
tional Contest.

Washington firemen always ap-
proach the Winter months with hope
deep down in their hearts that fires
will be few and far between. This
fall Chief Watson and his men have
an added reason for hoping the bell
will not ring often.
The District of Columbia has been
entered for the first time in the an
nual fire prevention contest fostered
by the United States Chamber of
Commerce, and, naturally. the local
ladder climbers are eager to win
Thus far during the calendar year
the Districts fire loss record has been
good-but, the most dangerous
months of the year are ahead. Chief
Watson, therefore, appealed. to all
Washingtonians today to help the To-
cal department finish high in the
contest by preventing fire during the
balance of 1924
The chief has urged his men to
strive to keep damage as low as pos
sible in extinguishing fires. but, he
pointed out today, householders and
business men can help in the contest
to a greater extent by exercising
greater care against the outbreak of
fire
The Commissioners within a. few
days probably will take steps to par
ticipate in the annual observance of

II do not praise Woodrow Wilson

failed in attaining his ideals, the
cross often precedes the crown. No
other nation could have produced
such a man-one who could speak
as he did at the peace conference
