GERARD PLEASED

Was Best for Country.

NEW YORK, June 9.-James w.
Gerard, Ambassador TO Germany from
1913 to 1917, who returned on the Le-
vlathan yesterday from a six-week
trip to Europe, expressed belief that
the election of Field Marshal Won
iiindenburg as President of Germany
was a good thing for Germany and
the world at large.
1T means a bulwark against the
Reds at home in Germany and against
Soviet Russia abroad" he said. Hin

expect to see changes in the Ger
man constitution looking toward a
stronger government, with possibly a
return TO monarchy later.
This will be no great calamity and
the crown prince has learned lessons
of adversely. He is the most maligned
and slandered man in the wide world.
Women voted for Hindenburg be-
cause they know that in Red gov
ernment the bad women rule. The
keystone of all European politics,
financial, political and economical, is
security for France. If that is guar
anteed. all other problems are easily
solved"
French Calm
Mr. Gerard said that he was sur
prised by the calmness with which
the French had received the election
of Hindenburg. They simply wait, :"
he said, Ito see whether Germany
will become militaristic again, and in
the meantime they are right until
they learn the intentions of the new
Germany, in not disbanding one cor
poral's guard"
The French are working hard. Mr..
Gerard said, to put their country on a
sound basis. They are at best when
cornered," he said. In walking about
Paris I discovered many 'boucheries
chevalines-i. e., butcher shops where
horse meat only is sold. This shows
better than endless statistics the sac
rificeS and the condition of the mass
Of the population.
Mr.. Gerard also said that he be.
heved monarchy would be established
in Hungary within a short time. He
said this would keep Hungary out of
the inevitable union of Austria and
Germany, for Austria cannot exist
economically alone

''As a Democrat" Mr.. Gerard said,
II admire the way in which we are
now represented abroad Herrick in

foreign policy of President Coolidge
has been successful. The settlement
with Mexico, the refusal to recognize
the reds Of Russia, the settlement of
the Isle of Pines have all added to our
standing among the nations"
Mr.. Gerard denied reports from
Paris that while in Europe he had crit
icized the Coolidge administration note
on the French debt. He had previ-
ously denied this report in a telegram
sent 10 President Coolidge from abroad.

the question in public or in private"

People who witnessed the game
with Richland last Friday saw the
best and closest game of the season.
The Kennewick boys had blood in
their eyes because of their overwhelm-
ing defeat by Pasco the previous Fri
day and were determined to win.
Luck seemed to be against them,
however, and after playing an extra
five minutes, Richland won, 1928.
Kennewick led during the first three
quarters of the game, and during
most of the fourth, but in the last
few minutes Richland tied the score.
Kennewick. showed distinct inn
provement over their previous game
with Pasco, tho they still show a
weakness in converting shots.
Anderson of Kennewick was the
outstanding star of the game, making
IA points, while Anderson and John
son were the stars for Richland.
This Friday, Kennewick will play a
fraternity team from Whitman, in
place of the scheduled game with
Prosser, who have discontinued bas-
ketball temporarily, because of the
death of two, of their players Satur-
day night.
The fraternity team has an impos-
ing record so far this season and an
other hard fought game is expected.
In defeating the Richland girls 26
to 10, the Kennewick girls played
their best game Of the season. They
ran away with what was expected to
be Richards game. Muriel Beal and
Harriet Hudnall starred for Kenne-
wick, the latter making "a of the
teams points.

The third debate of the season
which was fought out in the high
school last Friday, as a contest this
time between Kennewick and our old
rival and friendly enemy, Pasco.
The debate was close one, lat
least we thot it was close one). We
can't say exactly what the judges
thot about it. Pep was abundantly
prominent, hot words reasonably few
and there was absolutely no COM
plants or disputes in the sidelines.
At the end of the battle, Pasco walked
off with the laurals of victory as in
differently as tho they had expected
them all the time.
The question under fire was the
same as in former debates this year:
Resolved, That the PHILIPPINE Islands
should have immediate independence
Kennewick had the affirmative, while
our neighbors across the river upheld
the negative side.
The debaters for Kennewick Were
those long ago made famous, by word
and pen namely: Geraldine Adkin-
son, Edward Shaw and Harry Pear
SON. Pasco had brilliant collection
of talent in the three students rep.
resenting them: Marguerite Mcdonald
Lois Bigelow and George Graham
Indeed the rough and ready style OF
these pupils was too much for the
smooth and polished orators of oul
own city and their enthusiasm prob
ably was big factor in winning fol
! themselves the decision.
In order that none of the pupil.
might be caused to miss the basket
ball game held in the evening, the de
bate was held during the afternoon.
