Dealing for
Lindy's Baby
Is Failure
loopvrlght. 1asa. BY united Press,

Copyright. 1882, by United Press
HOPEWELL. N. j., April 9.-Ne-
gotiations for return of the kid
mapped Lindbergh baby have failed
for the time being.
Clews which caused hope to burn
high at the Lindbergh home this
week, have led to naught, and now
Colonel Lindbergh and his associ-
ates are seeking new trails that
might lead to the child'S return.
The Lindbergh family and their
associates definitely were working
on what was considered a hot trail
earlier in the week.
In connection with this investiga-
ton, Colonel Lindbergh flew to New
England coast; and Norfolk men, who
believed they had genuine con-
tact, operated actively to achieve re-
turn of the child. From John H.
Curtis of Norfolk came word that a
contact had been established which
gave assurance the child still lived.
1t was not said that this contact
was a contact with the kidnapers
themselves.
These maneuverS failed, at least
for the time being.
AS a result there prevailed today
two theories on cause of failure:
l. That the kidnapers had de-
termined to hold out for a ransom
higher than the $4,000 originally
demanded.
2. That the kidnapers, getting
close to the elimination of their
plans, had been frightened off by
some untoward incident.

TO FACE MOIST
PARTY DEMANDS
Resolution Admitting Dry
Law Is Not Perfect Up
for Vote.
BY BEN STERN

Prohibition, the skeleton in the
closet of Indianapolis Republican
ism, was dragged out today as a re-
suit of demands from three direc-
tions that the party become moist" .
For the first time in a score of
years, the Republican Editorial AS
ISOLATION faced a vote on reSolu-
ton that the prohibition law was
not perfect and, although deploring
the saloon, asked for return to
sanity and intelligence"
Ivan G. Morgan, chairman of the
Republican state committee, before
its meeting early this afternoon, in
d1cated he believed some stand on
the referendum should be taken by
the party, but thought the word
prohibition" should not be used
and the platform plank declare for
a popular vote on amy and all per-
picking problems"
Plans Wet Demand
At the same time Ernest w. Force,
Lake county chairman announced he
was going to demand the state or
ganiZation go "wet."
eff we don't take a stand against
the present conditions, Lake county
again will go Democratic" will be his
warning to the state committee, he
said.
The resolution presented to the
Republican editors meeting at the
Columbia Club was like a bolt out
OF the blue, for it referred to pres
ent conditions as 'intolerable."
1t generally had been believed
this organization which represents
rock-ribbed, conservative Republic
anism would stay off the subject.
but the resolutions committee in
cluded paragraph, which although
lnnocuouS in appearance and word
ing, is radical departure for thai
organization.
Conditions IntOIerabIe"
The resolution read:
In the present turmoil and fury
over prohibition there is a growing
demand on both sides of the con-
troversy for an appeal from confu-
sion back to the homes of the coun-
try for a stock taking and for re-
medal measures to relieve intoler-
able conditions. We have faith
that the homes of America, finding
proper expression through delegated
spokesman, viii apply sanity and in
telllgence to the alienation of ex-
listing evils while effectually pre-
venting the return of the evils con-
nected with the saloon"
1t was intimated the resolution
was framed in accordance with
wishes of Senator James E. Wat
son, who more than a year ago an
nounced for a referendum.
The resolution committee report
was signed by George Stout of La
fayette, Al H. Smith of Crawfords-
vile and Arthur K. Remmel of Fit.

One of every six men who
served with the army in the
World war now is receiving
benefits. The demobilized
service men in all the coun-
try's wars have received
almost fifteen billion dollars
to date. Under legislation al
ready existing, World war
veterans will get one hundred
billion dollars by the time the
last benefit is paid.
Despite this situation, congress,
under pressure of a powerful vet
Grams lobby, is planning additional
enormous grants. And, speaking
broadly, the mounting expense is
due, not to the money going to the
dependents of those killed in the
war, or to those wounded in the
war, but to those who have been
added outside of the zone which
encompasses such cases.
Seven Cycles in U. S. History
There have been seven distinct
cycles of rise in time pay
ments to ex-soldiers during the his
tory of the United States. Each
has been attended by about the
same set of circumstances. A COM
posite picture of all seven strikes a
fair average of each movement.
The typical veteran drive on the
treasury runs like this:
Agitation starts a little less than
ten years after the finish of war
and the cost to the taxpayers be-
gins to rise. Business conditions in
general are poor, but the treasury
is fortunate in having surplus OF
20 cent over its total revenues.
The President is Republican and
there is a four-to-one chance that
he is himself veteran.
The peak in veterans relief cost
arrives about three years later. The
trend of business is downward
Former soldiers then are getting 20
per cent of the national revenue
and 81 per cent of the country's
federal expenses are devoted to
them. If there is any treasury sur
plus at all it has been cut to an
extremely small amount.
Relief Costs Then Cut
There are three chances out of
four that there will be deficit. The
administration still is Republican.
A little more than year later,
the cycle ends, with cut in relief
costs. General economic conditions
then are in fair shape. Once more
there is a substantial treasury sur
plus of Is per cent. The admins
tration still Republican.
The seven cycles which make up
the mosaic reached their peaks in
1920 1888, 1880, 1898, 1909, 1926 and
1881. present indications are that
the 1881 movement is far from spent
and that it will reach new heights,
but for the purposes of striking an
