Let us not forget the French
debts to the United States are in
correctly called war debts. Most of
the sums which the United States
demands were borrowed by France,
and France cannot pretend they
were borrowed to carry on the war.

FATE OF CUMM|NS
WORRYING c. 0. P.
Concerned Over His Possible
Defeat if Bro0khart Is
Unseated.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The Republican party has real
problem on it's hands in handling the
case Of Senator Brookhart Of Iowa,
whose election has been contested by
Capt. Daniel F.. Steck, Democrat. A
subcommittee has voted to unseat
Brookhart The full committee is ex'
pected to do the same. though the
vote will be close. What the Senate
will do is another question.
Politically the incident may grow IN
importance, for II Mr.. Brookhart Is
unseated he undoubtedly will run In
the primaries this year against Sena'
tor Cummins, Republican. Judging by
past experience, Iowa votes into or
fice a radical at time when agri-
cultural discomfort is at it's height.
Some Republicans are afraid that the
unseating Of Senator Brookhart means
the defeat of Senator Cummins. And
Iowa is just now the focal point OF
the whole agricultural trouble OF the
Coolidge administration.
Intent Of Voters Considered.
The subcommittee, which has decid
ed to recommend the unseating OF
Mr.. Brookhart, believes the intent OF
the voters must be considered In eX.
amining the ballots. This is a broad
AOe
differences Of opinion, at least. Sena
tors have argued on both sides in
other election contests.
When the vote is finally taken it
would not be surprising to find the
Democrats supporting the election OF
Steck because it adds one more to
their ptrty in the Senate. In the
event that BOokhart is unseated 1t
might mean the addition Of another
vote to the insurgent group II Sem
ator Cummins is beaten and Brook
hart takes his place as result of
the election in the Autumn of this
year. This would mean that the new
Senator would take his seat some
time after March 4. 1927.
The regular Republicans, on the
other hand, have not felt that in Mr.
Brookhart they had a supporter at
any time. He has fought the regulars
all along the line. But their prob
lem ia: What effect will the unseating
Of Senator -Brookhart have on the
political fortunes Of Senator Cum
Minis. a tried and trusted warrior Of
the Republican group in the Senate:
May BE Better Republican.
There are some suggestions ex-
pressed here and there that Mr..
Brookhart might be a better Repub-
lican, in the regular sense. If he is
retained in the Senate through the
votes of his Republican colleagues.
They reason that the close vote
is sufficient indication Of how the
regular Republicans in Iowa felt last
year. for it is known that the Demo
cratic nominee, Capt. Steck, drew a
large number of Republican votes.
Otherwise, he would not have been
so close a contender. for it is not Gus

If more motorists would think Of

"The presence or absence Of local
facilities for low cost maintenance
have much to do with operating cost.
The equipment, attitude and per-
