to his disadvantage, but his appre-
hension-if anyways not shared by
his supporters. The activities Of Sen
ator Nye's campaign fund probing
committee, it was thought by many,
would help rather than harm Mrs.
McCormick's chances.
FURTHER support for the anti.pro-
hibitionists was provided by Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York,
who after a silence of two years came
out with a statement that he favored
repeal of the Eighteenth amendment,
which, he says, has f0stered excessive
drinking, led to corruption and hypoc-
risy, brought about disregard for law
and flooded the country with untaxed
and illicit liquor. The governor strong
Iy declared his opposition to the re-
turn Of the saloon, but urged new
constitutional provision that would re-
turn to the states exclusive control
over the sale of intOXicantS.
COUTH AMERICA revolutions some
~ times are swift in action. The one
in Argentina is a case in point. With
in a few days the military junta
headed by Gen. Jose Uriburu gained
complete control of the country and
President Yrigoyen. sick and aban-
doned by his cabinet, was forced to
resign. Later he was placed aboard
the cruiser Belgrano and permitted to
leave the country, presumably for
Montevideo, Uruguay.
Provisional President Uriburu and
his government took steps to restore
normal conditions and sternly sup
pressed all disorders, establishing
martial law throughout the country.
The populace was ordered to turn in
all arms on pain of severe punish
ment. Uriburu showed himself espe-
cially anxious to obtain the recogni-
ton of the United States, declaring he
would do all in his power to cooperate
fully with this country and planning
to send good man to fill the am
bassadorship in Washington which has
long been vacant. 1t was understood
that DR.. Manuel f. Malbran, former
ambassador to both the United States
and Chile, probably would be ap-
pointed.
A MERICANS held for trial in Peru
"A by the Cerro government have
been released from custody. Lieut..
Com. Harold B. Grow, who is accused
of planning to bomb the city of Are
quipa, denies this fatty but says he
prefers to have Peru decide his fate
without any foreign pressure.
Bolivia is in something of a fer
ment, martial law having been de-
clared in La Paz, the capital. In
Panama President Arosemena appoint
ed an entire new cabinet, which is
considered a big victory for Rodolfo
Chiari, leader of the National Liberal
party. Chiari now is the virtual die
tator, controlling the president, legis-
lature and cabinet.
d RIAND'S plan for federation of
- European states was presented to
the eleventh annual session of the
League of Nations assembly at Geneva
by its prepayment, the French foreign
minister. He had previously set it
before the Leagues council, which
cOntented itself with patting him on
the back and passing the scheme along.
NJ. Brands speech was much the
same as he delivered year ago when
first proposing the federation and he
did not attempt to offer details. He
said the replies to his memorandum
showed the response Of Europe was
firm in adherence to the principles
of European collaboration" and de-
clared the proposed union must neces-
sarily work in close cooperation with
the League of Nations. He denied
again that the union would run coun-
ter to or be in any way inimical to the
United States. Statesmen had told
him, on the other band, he declared,
that relations between Europe and
America could more easily be strength

"Twenty-seven nations have studied
this question" he concluded. "Twen-
ty-seven nations have said yes it can
be done There it is before you. Go.
March on. Accomplish peace!'
Arthur Henderson, replying for
Great Britain, caustically demanded
that the continental nations disarm
