1.-THE speech was one of great
moment when the probable effect
of recent political changes in
Europe is not yet clear" the Times
said.
The Post said:
''Houghton's warning was ad.
dressed particularly to countries Of
the continent, chiefly Germany.
We suggest that while waiting for
evidence Of European good faith,
America might re-examine the
whole question OF inter-allied debts.
we are convinced the rigid atti-
tude of the American official mind
and the dunning speeches of Borah
do not represent the influential
sections of the American elector-
ate"
The Telegraph suggests that
Ambassador Houghton's warning
was inspired by President Coolidge.
The Manchester Guardian took the
position that when the good faith
of Europe was assured. America
would participate officially in
European affairs and pull with
its full weight.

formation of American policy
abroad for the next three years.
Praised BY Officials.
In every authoritative administra-
kion quarter today there was voiced
high praise OF Ambassador Hough-
toms speech something that has
not always been true concerning
ambassadoria1 utterances at Pilgrim
dinners.
Particular conmendation was ac-
corded the ambassador for cutting
swav the usuai DIPLOMATS "hokum"
and bluntIy telling Europe what Is
An the American mind.
The two paragraphs OF MT.
Houghtonss speech especially praised
in administration circles here to-
day were:
sThe full measure OF American
heIpfulness can be obtained only
when the American people are as
aured that the time for destructive
roethoda and policies has passed
md that the time for peaceful up
building has come.
ssAmericans are asking them!
selves II that time has arrived. The
answer must come from the pe0-
pies of Europe who alone can
make the decision.
Americans Not Spectators.
ssIf the answer is peace, America
viii help to her. generous utmost.
9IIt IL that answer shall continue
"a be confused and doubtful. then
I fear those helpful processes must
Ineyitably cease. We are not, as q
peonle. interested in making spec
ulative advances.
In other words, the United
states has now told Europe that
the American people are willing to
invest their money in Europe
future, but are not willing to buy
wildcat stock and speculate on 1t.
AS interpreted here, Ambassador
Houghton's speech amounted 10
/. A direct warning to Europe
that there will be no more Ameri-
can loans abroad unless Europe
ceases pickering and gets to work.
2, A more indirect but neverthe-
less significant warning to France
and her continental allies not to
aieze upon Won Hindenburg' cleo
ton as an excuse to ''pick on
Germany.
AdmonItion To France.
3. A thinly yelled admonition to
France that she, had better aban.
don her stubborn opposition to a
new arms conference, such as
President Coolidge is willing TO
call, and go along with the rest
of the world toward reduced arma'
ment and lesser military expendi'

YOU WILL BE JUST
CRAZY ABOUT NO. FOUR

AS a diversion from the daily grind
of business the golfers Of the city
find great pleasure in contemplating
the fun they will have on the new
golf course when it is ready for use
The survey committee, assisted ~
several other members, completed the
work last Sunday of laying out the
course and locating the nine te IS
and holes. 1t was found that they
fitted the 8O-acre tract very well.
The course follows roughly the
outlines of the letter z inverted. II
is believed that it will be interesting
and sporty, offering a wide variety
in shots and hazards, without being
d~isagreeably difficult. The golf ed
tor ventures a guess that it will take
a or 5 more strokes than the pres
ent course. Those who were in on
the fun of planning the new course
were Burgess, Stevens, Rathert,
Chapman, Cook and Marshall, with
Styer for chauffeur.
The work of making the grounds
ready will be hurried along as fast
as possible. In the lei time the
old course is still in working order.
