France to Become Cermanized,
Pennsylvania Professor Says

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3. - France
eventually must become Germanized
in fact, if not in theory, in the opin-
ion Of DR.. r. II. True, professor of
botany, University of Pennsylvania
This conclusion Is based upon a
study OF the history Of agriculture
and populations from the earliest
records to the present day, subject
of which he has made special
study.
Il can't see what is going to save
France from German agricultural pen
etration," DR. True said. History,

problem of food supply, and that is
primarily land question. Politics
is the institution through which
land affects nations through their

The Germans always have been ac-

tive populators. From the earliest
times they have been boiling over
their boundaries. Julius Caesar caught
them raiding the Gauls. Not many
years ago the German tribes again
raided the Gauls through Belgium.
The population push is Just as great
in Germany today as it was before
the war. That is why the Germans
are making so much fuss about thei'
colonies"
Italy, too, is faced with the need
for more farming land" he added
THAT is what is the trouble with
Mussolini."
Japan also is up against food
difficulty. Birth control does not op
crate in Japan and her population is
picking up. What can the Japanese
do but hunt unoccupied lands or
starve."

Fight Is Started

A hot, three-cornered scrap in the
ranks of the radical element of the
Republican party in the April pri

nomination for Delegate to Con-
gress. This was revealed yesterday
when, a short time before it closed

received the declaration of candi-
dacy from II. G. Mccain, for the

These filings are generally ac-

in recent years Senator Aldrich's S

not unforeseen His friends were
advised weeks ago that it had hap

that the Senator might fight Suth-

But Mr. McCain's detection was
not predicted. 1t is understood
here that there is a strong prob

sought without success at least one
local resident to file against him.

COMPLAINTS AGAINST ALASKA
OFFICIALS BEING AIRED TODAY
President Coolidge Remews
Plea For More Economy and
Efficiency Govt. Executives

WASHINGTON, Feb 3.-Suggest-
ing the possibility Of still another
tax reduction within a few years"
President Coolidge has renewed his
plan to government executives for
economy and efficiency under gen
leral program OF "constructive econ
omy."
Mr. Coolidge observed that too
much economy might not be benefi-
icial; he chose rather to make every
dollar count" and to obtain the maxi
mum of results with moneys in hand.
The economy policy has done more
than reduce the cost of government,
the President said for he saw in it
an example to the world in admin
strative effort
Speaking at the semi-annual budget
meeting of department and bureau
heads. the Chief Executive reviewed
accomplishments of the period since
the first meeting of the business
organization Of the government in
June, 1921, and declared that the
things done in perfecting efficiency
had been tremendous in results and
OF overwhelming significance in i'm
plications." He suggested, however,
that the part played by this govern
ment in it's own household and in
world affairs would not be complete
unless it was reinforced by adhe-
sion 10 the World Court.
Lord Announces Club.
The Presidents exposition of what
he believed should be the general
policy in governmental affairs was
supplemented at some length by Di-
rector Lord of the Budget Bureau.
who described an economy rod he
plans TO WELD in dealing with future
federal expenditures.
General Lord announced the Char
tering" of a one per cent club with
in the government, saying the one
qualification of membership was abil-
ity to reduce expenditures by one
per cent of the total authorized Last
years two per cent club had fallen
short Of its objective by only three
million dollars. he explained, in
setting the figure of $3S,000000 as
the amount to be saved.
Constructive Economy.
The Presidents idea of construc
tive economy WAS to eliminate as
many essentials as possible while
bolstering the agencies whose func
ition developed a better order of ma
tional life.
MERELY to reduce the expenses
of the government he said, might
mot in itself be beneficial. Such ac-
'tion might be oniy the discontinuance
IGf wholly necessary activity. No
IciviliZed community would close its
schools, abolish its courts, disband
its police force. or discontinue its
fire department. Such action could
not be counted as gain, but as ire
parable loss. Tho underlying spirit Of
economy is to secure better education
wider administration of Justice, more
public order, and greater security
from conflagration, all through
superior organization which will de-
crease the unit of cost. 1t is all
reducible to a question of national
efficiency
