Dor Leader 1t winds up with: "At
heart l am still a miner" A very
polite and worthless review in the Lon.

HODGES considers Philip Snowden.

Ethel Snowden, and also as first labor
party chancellor of the exchequer,

comeback" 1t is not likely that the
British government will relish his re-
turn to power either.

the Wall Street ogre confronts her.
France has two major enemies in
Europe, England and Germany. The
United States is waiting in the ofing
with a money bag, ready to relieve
France of her. financial worries in re-
turn for good and valuable considera-

wiling to become Frances wet nurse

Dawes plan.
