=" A FTER the moratorium-what?"
4 n This is the question agitating
Indiana Republican leaders.
And why shouldn't it? The mora
forum presents one of the great
est eff" possibilities since the La
conians sent back the famous "if''
answer to Philip of Macedonia's de-
mands, way back yonder when Alex
ander the Great was a Boy Scout.
No one can tell what the ulti-
mate effect of President Hoover's
proposal will be. If a European
collapse is averted, Germany is
saved, and the United States pulls
out of the present depression, then
the Republicans will, in all proba-
bility, win the 1882 election.
However, if business is no better
a year from now, and Germany
asks an extension, and, with other
European nations, begins a cam
paign for cancellatior-then it will
not look so good.

And then also, the Democrats, to
the surprise of every one who has
watched that party's history for the
last few decades, suddenly became
smart and with great huzzas and
cheers flguratively took the mora
forum to their breasts.
What surprise it was for those
hide-bound Republicans, like SEN
ator Jim Watson, who, rumor has
it, conceived the plan, and Con-
gresham Will R. Wood.
Some Of the boys started looking
back in their memory books and
remembered that during the World
war when the Republicans were in
vited to heal their differences and
join with Democrats, Wood was one
Of the few G. o. P. who refused the
truce and took the floor early and
often to assail President Wilson,
one Herbert Hoover, then food ad-
ministrator, and any department of
which he could think at the mo-
ment.
The Tenth district congressman,
with vitriolic tongue, hurled the
entire catalog of high crimes and
misdemeanors at the administra-
ton.
- n
Although Watson was not a lead
ing critic during that period, he did
sign the round robin not to sustain
the Versailles treaty even before 1t
had been presented to the senate.
And it was this round robin which
perhaps did as much or more to de-
Stroy this nations influence in tie
various negotiations following the
war.
Yet they are the first to declare
the Democrats deserve tremendous
credit for their cooperative atti-
tude on the moratorium.
Incidentally, as has been said be-

THEY TELL NE

fore, Jim Watson is given the credit
for the moratorium proposal.
& 4 4
According to the yarn being cir
culated, he met with a group of
midwest bankers in the Blackstone
hotel in Chicago few weeks ago,
where the plan was conceived and
then sold it to the eastern flnan-
ciers. There it was polished and
smoothed and handed to the Pres
ident.
After several weeks Of discussion,
Hoover said in his address in Indi-
annapolis: There lis no sudden
stroke of either government or pri-
vate action which can dissolve these
world difficulties"
Five days later the President pro-
posed the moratorium.
Senator Jim, of course, emphatic
ally denies he fathered the plan.
That may be true, but there can be
no doubt he may have been one of
the midwives at its birth.

Too Much Meddling

Thoughtful citizens, regard less of political affiliations, are beginning to sense the menace pl esented by the growth of government departments, bur eaus, boards, commissions and other agencies for the regu- ion of every detail of our daily lives.
 This menace is two-fold. It menaces our liberties and it menaces our material welfare through forcing us to support an army of useless officials, Every new law which is sug- gested by the professional re- former and busybody is de- 1igncd to add to this army of colitical job holders. The bur len is becoming intolerable.
 This is particularly true in business and industrial life, in which the harassment of rep 1table citizens at the whims of politicians has about reached he limits of endurance.

Welcome to Our Visitors

Today the residents of Hyd- CT, Alaska, and Stewart and Premier, British Columbia, will present for the interest and pleasure of numerous vis- itors from afar and for their own citizens the Alaska-Brit- ish Columbia International Celebration.
 The Celebration will contin- ue three days and will be in many respects the most inn portant public event ever held in this section of the great Northland. The object is pri- marily to make known to the world the resources and char acteristics of the Portland Can- al district and particularly the mineral wealth of this but little exploited area.
 It is also intended to pro- vide an outstanding illustra- tion of that confraternity of races existing between the peo> pie of the United States and those of Canada, and of that attitude of peace and friend ship and close association ex- istent between the residents of those great nations.
 The long-maintained boast of both countries that their 2,000 miles of mutual border line is without fort or other instru- ment of national defense pos sesses no finer illustration than is provided here. Between the peoples of this district, Alaskan and Canadian, there exists scarcely a thought of boundaries or political divis- ions, save for official purposes, and concord and amity and an attitude of mutual helpfulness form the keynote of their SOC ial and business intercourse.
 It is this attitude and spirit that has made possible the Alaska-British Columbian h. ternational Celebration, to which we bid you hearty wei come and the ultimate of en- joyment of the many and var jed attractions that have been provided for your amusement.
