 TO COLLECT DEBTS
IBy Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Appealing to the voters of New York to support his candidacy for the presidency, Sen ator Robert NJ. La Toilette devoted an address tonight in Brooklyn almost entirely to an attack on Wall Street" which he declared controls the economic and political life of the nation. II shah speak tonight of Wall Street." he said at the outest of his prepared address. T shall speak oft two groups-One, J. P. Morgan, which rules through gold. The other Standard Oil company, which rules through oil.
 These two groups are Wall Street. Their will rules industry and fi- nance. It rules banks, great railroad systems and insurance companies. It rules other monopolies. Not content with the control of America, Amer ican gold and American oil are reach ing out for the. future control of the world
 Senator La Toilette declared that ''some day, unless our present mad course is checked, unless the power of these international bankers over gov ernment is broken, American boys in khaki may be sent to Europe to col feet their debts, and this nation of ours may be involved in another war to satisfy the same greed that has rendered this free nation all but prostrate under it's power" tr.

PARIS EXTENDS
 RECOGNITION
 TO SOVIET UNION
Herriot To Attempt To Collect $4,5OO, 100000
 Owed By Czar Regime
(By Leased Wire To The Herald )

(bY LcIScu NAO 1O AHC EASO e~AN-'l
 PARIS, Oct. 2S.-Premier Edouard Herriot's socialist French government has recognized the union of socialist Soviet Republics and for the first time since Kerensky was thrown out of Petrogard there will be normal reia- tionships between France and the ter ritory formerly ruled by the OGar.
 Formal announcement of French recognition of the Soviet union was made at Quai D'Orsay Tuesday night following a telegraphic exchange Of terms and acknowledgements between Paris adn Moscow. The real struggle between the two countries will come when a proposed conference meets to determine the fate of French claims against the Czarist government amount ing to approximately S4,5O0,O0O,OO0.
 Terms Not Disclosed
 The terms of French recongnition have not been disclosed. Semi-efficially, it is learned that Herriot conceded de jure (complete) recognition of the union, but did not surrender any rights to claims against the Soviet union. This means that Herriot will try to obtain settlement of the vast debt owed to \ rencuI0cu anu Juc I ICuCA SOfCiAAhShS Q who hold Russian bands.
 Outstanding disputes between the Soviet union and France are not specifl- ally mentioned in the French terms, it is understood. The future conference will determine those matters.
 Decision to recognize the Soviet union was reached after Herriot and his ministers had fully canvassed the situation which has arisen in England following the publication of a letter alleged to have been written to Brit ish communists by George Zinoviev, president of the communist interna- tional.
 Settlement of Franco-R Russian prob- lcms best could be effected after rec ognitinn, the cabinet decided, and the French terms were dispatched to Mos COW.
 Publication of the text of the French communication was to have followed upon receipt of the Russian reply, but it was later determined to withhold the text until Wednesday.
 It is generally believed that tempo rary suppression of the text was ordered by Herriot in an effort to strengthen, or at least to abstain from weakening, the position of his friend, Premier Ramsay Macdonald, whose government is to be continued in office or rejected by British voters Wednesday.
 The mere information that France has recognized the Soviet union will bloster MacDonald's structure of prestige while any qualifying clause which may have reserved the integity of French claims simply would lessen the impact of the French action on the British public.
 France has recognized the Soviet union in compliance with one of Her riots chief campaign promises to bring that recognition about at the earliest moment. There has been some dis satisfaction among an element of the chamber of deputies that recognition had been even this long delayed.

BRITAIN TO PICK ITS PARLIAMENT
 AT POLLS TODAY
Labor Government To Go Way Of Predecessors, !.
 Is General View
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The people Of Great Britain will provide themselves tomorrow with their third parliament within two years. What kind of a parliament it will be after the votes of the nation are counted, no prominent politician or political observer has been sudacious enough to predict publicity. That the labor government will go the way of all governments, seems, however, to be the opinion held almost every where, but some of the laborites still appear confident that their party will be given a mandate to remain in office.
 Whether the conservatives can recoup their losses of year ago and return to the house of commons with a majority over all other parties, and thereby put themselves into office without the assis- tance of the others, is a question no one has any means Of determining, or even reasonable forccasting, until the returns come in. v
 Red Letter Adds Pep
 The prediction political situation has been made utterly uncertain by the eleventh hour bursting of the Russian bombshall," with an effect on the coun. try that cannot be bauged at all. Until this ''red letter. gave the campaign orators real live wire topic to talk about, the eletorate wore an apathetic air and it was rather the general expec- tation that the three parties would re- turn to Westminster in the same rela- tive positions they held numerically when the last parliament's life ended the conservatives first, labor second and liberals third-with the conservatives lacking a clear majority.
 Result Is Unknown
 But now nobody can say with any confidence what the result will be. In any event, what happens will not be due to apathy unless the voters are entirely unaffected by screaming headlines and unperturbed by political speakers.
 Straw votes indicate slight increase in the strength of both conservatives and laborites, with the liberals losing. That the liberal strength in parliament is on the wane seems also to be the opin- ion of both tory and socialist chiefs.

 Raising the question of the Ku Klux Klan, the senator said that Davis, La Toilette and "even Dawes," has'spoken, but Coolidge is silent because he wants the votes of the klan." He charged that Coolidge is silent on the klan because he places his own election over the vim dication of the constitutional rights of the American people,"
 Still opposed to the League of Ma tions, Senator Reed declared his willing ness to abide by the verdict of the peo- pie when it shall have been referred to them in a nationwide referendum. "The democratic platform expressly takes the League of Nations controversy out of politics" he said. "It declares that the question shall be settled by vote of the American people," He said MT. Davis had expressed his approval of the plat form and that he believed him to be a man of his word.

Before I began to use this great medicine" continued MT. Braxton, which was recommended by a friend of mine, I felt badly all the time, and was just all-in; stomach was out of or der and my whole system was full of malaria and poisons caused mostly, think, from a chronic case of consti- patton, from which I had been trying to get relief for years: l never felt like doing a days work, could not sleep at night, and would get up in the morn ing feeling worse than when went to bed. My appetite was so poor that l never felt like eating and lost five pounds in just few days. Several weeks ago, on the advice of friend, l began using the Herb Juice, and l want to say to you that l have never even dreamed that any medicine would do for a person what Herb Juice has done for me. It is a fact that the first few doses of this medicine relieved me of that sick feeling in my stomach, and before I had used all of the first bot tie I was eating and enjoying three good meals a day. I continued using Herb Juice regularly, and now, after taking a few bottles, l feel like a diff ferent person; bowels act regularly; no more constipation, system free from poisons, also malaria, and I sleep like a child at night. I have gained in weight and enjoy doing hard days work I expect to keep Herb Juice in my home all the time. It is wonder ful tonic laxative and I gladly recom- mend 1t to all my friends"
 Many are calling daily to see the Herb Juice man at Jacobs Drug Store, SII North Nineteenth Street, with statements for publication, pFaising Herb Juice, that their friends may be induced to try this great remedey that has relieved so many thousands of Bir- minEham citizens.

farmer-laborites are candidates, and Tn the first, third, eighth and tenth dis tricts new faces appear on every ticket.
 Wisconsin
 Robert NJ. La Follette's name appears on the ballot in Wisconsin as an inde- pendent this fall for the first time in his long political career, but, for of fees other than the presidency and vice presidency, candidates who supported him appear on nearly all places of the regular republican ticket. Republicans opposing La Toilette have President Coolidge as the candidate for head of the republican slate, but no regular tick ct to carry this split throughout state offices. In the primaries, republican candidates carrying La Toilette indorse- ment swept the field, with very few minor exceptions.
 What inroads the anti-La Toilette re- publicans will make in the ranks of the two major parties has furnished one of the principal political discussions. The Coolidge supporters have conducted their campaign largely through the ac- tivities of Charles G. Dawes, nominee for the vice presidency. Mir. Coolidge was expected to poll laTger vote in the state than MT. Davis.
 The Ku Klux Klan threatened at one time to become an issue but after several denunciations by Gov. J. J. Blaine, in cumbent republican with La Toilette indorsement seeking his third term, it simmered off. The prohibitionists have a complete slate for state officers and the socialists also have candidates from governor down.
 In the congressional races, little op- position to the republican nominees is anticipated, although the democrats have made strong contests. Supporters of Victor Berger, socialist. predict his reelection by heavier majority.

 Statements
(Ry Associated PresS)

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Declarlng ing there can be mo comprmise with reaction" and reasserting his position on several ''of the more important is- sues before the people" John w. Davis, democratic candidate for president, IS sued today the first of series of state ments for publication between now and November f.
 MT. Davis's attitude regarding a number of the policies he will seek to put into effect, if elected president, IS set forth as follows: "The American people are entitled to know the policies which I will seek to put into effect Ii elected president of the United States. Accordingly, on each day of the coming week I shall re-state succicenetly my po- sition of each of the more important ls- sues before the people.
 "The supreme issue in this campaign is: Shall the attitude of mind of the national administration be one ot IlD- eralism or one of reaction!
 "Shall our national policies be framed with primary regard to the interests or a few or to promote the welfare of all!
 ..Shall the American government be made to embody the idea of every man for himself?
 ''Shall the American people, through this government, reassume the moral leadership of mankind?
 'Such an issue as that transcends every question of today. We face a world wherein the supreme material problem is that of the equitable distribu- tion of wealth. The Democratic party stands for the position that law and gov crnment policy should encourage the distribution of that wealth with all proper regard for the toll of the man who produce it. The republican party for the doctrine that if we turn the major portion of that wealth to a com petent few they will themselves distrl- bute it for the benefit of the many.
 "The Democratic party stands for the utmost possible democracy in industry !; the Republican party for glorified oligarchy.
 q stand for prosperity and for meas ures which will protect the property rights of every human being. But l be- lieye that while property rights must be respected, there are human rights whose worthiness transcends every ma terial consideration.
 "The Democratic party looks forward, it is essentially the part of progress and each mornings sun as the light of a liberalism. The Democratic party views new day; we preach gospel of hope and confidence. We stand above all else for the right of man to realize their aspirations tomorrow without be- ing shackled by the prejudiced, the ig- norant or the selfishness of yesterday. In that attitude of mind the American government must approach the solution .e every problem. There can be no
