CNIarion Leader-Tribune)

The Democratic party wants
Frank Daley as its candidate for
Governor. The majority of the
people of Indiana want him.
The tremendous majority which
he received in the recent primary
is an indication of his popularity.
He did not get a majority of the
votes cast, but, with the large fielo
of candidates, such showing would
have been almost impossible.
There we're in some counties al
most as many candidates as there
we're voters. But the sensational
plurality of Mr.. Daley is convinc,
ing to the rank and file of the
party including those who voted
for other candidates. 1t should be
convincing to the opponents of
Mr.. Daley.
All gracefully should retire in
favor of the popular choice, and in
the convention vote to make his
nomination unanimous. Frank
Daley, is clean, courageous, cap
able, honest and industrious. He is
a great lawyer, and he is, even
more, a great citizen.
He is just the man needed to re-
deem Indiana, and his election
will turn a new page in the his
tory of the State. Once again,
when this happens, we can hold

A Valuable Demonstration

The House wisely has voted to continue the expert
ment in water transportation being carried by the
Government on the Mississippi River and its tribu-
taries
1t just has approved bill to increase the capital
sof the Inland Waterway Corporation from $5OO0OO0
to $15OOOOOO and authorizing extension of barge serv
ice to other tributaries and connecting waterways of
the Mississippi where traffic warrants.
The Government went into the water transpor-
taton business years ago. because of freight con-
gestion during the war The project has not paid
dividends, but on the other hand it has made nc
heavy drain on the treasury
What it has accomplished is to show that there is
genuine demand for water transportation, and that
substantial in freight charges can be saved to
wheat shippers and others in interior States.

Mr.. KeIIoggIS Success

Making allowance for these and
other reservations, it still remains
to be admitted that Egnland has
Endorsed the Kellogg plan, which
now seems in a good way Of general
adoption.
Regardless Of what the plan may
accomplish for international peace,
it represents the Republican SUBJ
stitute for Woodrow Wilson's pro-
gram-the great scheme that has
been worked out in the last eight
years to repay the American people
for what the lost.
The United States is once more
in The peace parade, and the world
is given to understand that her
reputation of the League of
Nations and her refusal to Join the
World Court are not to be taken as
implying lack of interest. but as
making room for an improved
project.
Secretary Kellogg should get the
Nobel prize, no matter what
happens.

'EntangIed' Again7

The most curious thing about
human events is how differently
they sometimes turn out from what
we expect, and yet how easily we
adapt ourselves to them.
Ten years ago, we supposed that
we were fighting a war not only to
save the world for democracy" but
to establish League of Nations or
something of the sort.
Two years later found the entire
program in ruins, and we supposed
that we had gone in for splendid
isolation" on a permanent basis.
Now we are ready to become

Monroe Doctrine Dancer

The special sphere of influence
has become the outstanding plague
Of international politics.
Though based on the colonial
system, as developed by European
countries, it has been strengthened
materially by the Monroe Doctrine.
Japuan's warning that there must
be no war in Manchuria is based on
the same theory of international re-
latlons as our repeated warnings
that there must be no revolution in
Central American countries.
The presence of American Ma
rines in Nicaragua not only sets a
precedent for the occupation of
Manchuria by Japanese troops, but
prevents the United States from
protesting without appearing ridicu-
lous.

KEEPING UP
With
THE NE WIS
BY LUDWELL DENNY

ON the eve of a presidential
- campaign, when it hoped TO
have all international issues tempo
rarily out of the way, the Admin
iStration is embarrassed unexpec;-
edly by three major foreign prob
lens.
British reservations, added to the
French, have killed the Kellogg
proposal for an unencumbereG
multilateral treaty, renouncing war
SIS national policy. Japan's move
toward a protectorate in Manchuria
raises the most delicate issue in the
Far East. Intensive American
marine efforts to defeat the Mica
raguan rebels before the rainy sea-
son have failed, leaving the rebels
with six months to recuperate and
challenge American "rule" at the
inopportune time of the Nicarguan
and United States elections.
The British reply to the anti-war
proposal makes such sweeping reser-
vationS that the State department
is faced now with the alternative of
admitting that its plan is prema-
ture and unacceptable to the other
powers. or Of working out make
shift treaty to "save its own face"
and that Of the other Governments.
Great Britain, in addition to
maintaining the right to wage de-
fenSive war, reserves the right TO
make war or apply sanctions under
the league covenant and the Lo-
carno security pact. specifying that
the Kellogg treaty will cease to
operate in respect Of party which
breaks its pledges and adopts hostile
measures against one of its Co
contractantS"
OF even greater Importance, Great
Britain would reserve the right to
make war if she considered there
is interference" with her underlined
spheres of influences.
On this point the British note
says:
There are certain regions of the
world the welfare and integrity of
which constitute special and
vital interest for our peace and
safety. His Majesty's Government
have been at pains to make it clear
IN the past that interference with
these regions cannot be suffered.
Their protection against attack
is to the British empire a measure
OF self-defense. It must be clearly
understood that His Majesty's Gov
ernment in Great Britain accept the
new treaty upon the distinct under
standing that it does not prejudice
freedom Of action in this respect"
The London note intimates that
the United States makes similar
reservations regarding the Monroe
doctrine area.

sideration to those who have little, because they
most need the newspapers help.
1t must do all those things. But, most of all, it
must be receptive to ideas 1t must have well
come sign out for experiment. 1t must be tolerant
toward that which never has been tried.
Without that tolerance, though in the moral sense
its character may be of the BEST it is not liberal and
will contribute little toward improvement in a fast
moving world.

THE second difficult State de-

Japans ultimatum to its ex-ally
and present Pekin dictator, Chang

OF formal Japanese claims to a
protectorate over the three Chinese
provinces north of the wall.
Though Japan has in effect beer
exercising such a protectorate in
formally for several years without
any interference from the United

act or formal declaration by japan
would precipitate a serious crisis

TINE third embarrassing situation
Il is in Nicaragua. Congressional
debate has demonstrated that the
Administrations intervention policy
is almost as unpopular in this coun-
try as in Europe and in Latin
America.
But Congress has refrained from
requesting withdrawal of Marines,
on the ground that the Administra-
ton, wisely or unwisely, is pledged
to guarantee fair Nicaraguan cleo
ton.
With failure of the marines to
destroy the SANDING revolutionists'

little chance that the Administra-
ton will feel free to keep its tacit
