Senator Borah added grimly:
II believe that they will not
long be left in doubt.
"And if these gentlemen are
unwilling to do this, there is
only one thing left to do, as I
see it, and that is to create

Senator Borah and his friends il
the ousting of Mr.. Fletcher as ma
tional chairman. To them, the
genial Pennsylvania who spent
most of his life in the diplomatic
service is symbolical of big busi
ness, corporate interests, and the
Republican party of William H
Taft's day. They want a change
and are preparing to fight for it
Senator Borah said:
"For myself 1 do not want a
third party. 1 want a Republi-
can party. Why should the mil.
lions of Republicans throughout
the country give up the name,
the traditions, and the great
record of the party simply be.

tions Of strategy refuse to recog.

"Mr. HilleS says, hold fast,
hold fast until the storm is
over. That has been the cry of
every dying political Organiza-
tiOn that ever lived and died."
Smell Raps Borah
The division in Republican
ranks was plainly manifested
when Representative Bertrand H
Smell, conservative Republican
leader of the House, promptly
challenged Senator Borah's posi-
ton.
Rather impishly, Representative
Smell asked what Senator Borat
has to offer by the way off {
program.
To those who are demanding
a reorganization, Representative
Smell replied:
"What have they to offer?
Let them bring forward a pro-
gram and let us take a look at
it. Maybe we can join it,"
But the Idaho Senator proposed
no program. What he wants is
party shake-up, with the pro
gressives in the saddle. In thai
desire he has a lot of support; also
lot of opposition. The show

SEC. HULL MUM
. ON ANGLO-U. s.
ENTENTE
Avoids Approval Of Bingham
Statement Urging Closer
"DipIomatiC Cooperation"
International News Service

Americas willingness to work
closely with Great Britain in the
solution of world problems IS
prompted by the desire to CO.
operate with all nations that are
awakening and disposed to marcl
toward political and economic
sanity, Secretary of State Hull de.
clared today.
Secretary Hull's remarks, made
at a press conference, were
prompted by American Ambassa-
dor Bingham'S statement at Lon.
don urging technique Of close
diplomatic cooperation" between
the United States and Great
Britain.
Fearful of creating suspicion
and misunderstanding among
other nations, Mr.. Hull, however,
cautiously refrained from out
right Endorsement of Ambassador
Bingham's statement.
Mum on Entente
For the same reason, he also
declined to state whether the
United States was deSirouS of OBJ
tanning anything in the nature
Of a separate Anglo-American en-
tente.
Mr.. Hull said he believed the
entire purport of Mr.. Bingham'S
or a ofnOOon1Nf 0NSNohof
spirit of extreme isolation and
nationalism which he described as
having "well-nigh wrecked the
world"
He added that he believed Mr..
Bingham was endeavoring to
emphasize the Importance of
sane, practical international CO.
operation for the purpose of TAX
ing the most feasible steps to ex.
tricate the world from the un-
precedented state of political and
economic chaos that has gripped
it during the past five years.
Mr.. Hull emphasized, however,
that any cooperation the United
States might offer the rest of the
world would have to be in har"
mony with the American consti-
tuition and American traditions.
Bingram's Statement
Mr.. Bingram's statement, 1t was
learned, was made without being
previously submitted to the State
Department for approval.
Declaring that the great new
thing" in American foreign policy
was that any agreement entered
by President Roosevelt would be
binding, Bingham said:
'Tf the British and American
peoples would only grasp firmly
the present opportunity for
lasting understanding and would
initiate a technique of close
diplomatic cooperation, the
world would be relieved Of its
panics, we would all live in Sc
curity and every major diplo-
matte problem in the world
would solve ITSELF"

that their property could not sup
port q federal city.
Answering these appeals, Con-
gress made scattered payments.
In IS years, from 1890 to 1885,
the Federal Government con-
tributed SLABS, 900 to the city
government while the taxpayers
contributed $4,121,000. The fed.
eral contribution varied, and in
20 Of those IS years the Govern
.ment made no contribution at all.
Following 1885, after Congress
took enough interest to inquire
through q committee of the
Senate into the situation, there
were more liberal federal grants
but no definite ruling was laid
down: and as a result Of this
helter-skelter policy Washington
was bankrupt town in 1871.
Government Changed
Thinking that change Of form
Of government would correct the
error, Congress made the District
Of Columbia into a territory. The
President was to appoint a gov
ernor and the people were to
elect a council and a house OF
delegates.
The new territorial government
went on a spending spree which
pulled the town out Of the mud,
gave it the beginnings Of metro
politan character, and scared the
conservatives. In 1874 there were
, charges of graft and mismanage'
ment, and Congress abolished the
territorial form Of government
and established the present form.
From 1873 to 1921, Washing
ton, D. c., was run on the fifty
fifty basis, as it came to be
known. Congress, however, occa-
sionally attacked the plan, charg-
ing that the arrangement re-
suited in under-taxation for the
property holders Of this city.
The proportion was chnaged IN
1921 to so per cent for the Dis.
trict and 40 per cent for the
Federation Government, and this
: was maintained for four years,
when Congress ignored the 60.40
plan and made straight con-
tribution of 100000, which was
considerably less than 40 per
cent of the appropriations for
, the support of Washington at
that time.
Funds insufficient
Every year since that time
Congress has provided for lump
sum Federal contribution. Critics
of this policy have complained
annually that the contribution
is not enough to give the Dis
trict a sum sufficient for its
growth. That is why, it is ex'
, planned, there are crowded
: schools, too few police, and an
tiquated fire apparatus.
AS one element in the discus
sion, the Federal Government owns
real estate here valued at nearly
$3.50, 900, 900; that amount Of prop
erty is withdrawn from all taxa
;. ton and is one of the important
bases on which a federal contrlbu'
ton is required here.

Battle tactics of organized drys

BY International News service
Battle tactics of organized drys
were outlined today by DR.. F
Scott Mcbride. superintendent OF
the Anti-Saloon League, as prep,
arations were made for sessions
Of Congress and State legislatures.
The dry battle will be waged
over wide front. despite the VIC
tories Of antlprohibition forces in
State elections on November 6.
DR.. Mcbride said:
"The chief legislative battles
will be in the States for the
largest possible unit of prOhi-
bitiOn.
''Tn States dry enough to
make a test on Statewide pro-
hibition, we will seek legisla-
ton providing for the test. In
wet States we will seek the
largest practicable dry area,
either through county or local
option.
"The issue thus swings back
to the States and the fight is
Just as keen as it was 20 years
ago."
DR.. Mcbride said the national
fight will be for the proposed pro
hibition amendment of Senator
Sheppard CD of Texas, giving
Congress control of the liquor
traffic, and a Federal ban on ad.
vertising. He expressed the belief
that it would be legally possible
to obtain Federal legislation pro
hibiting advertising of liquor.
