POORf DEBTOR NATIONS Springfield Republican. The insistence o'lj our administra tion that Mexico shall give guaran ties for the payment of her foreign debts as part of the price of American recognition is warmly supported by various journals. The New York Tribune remarks: "All that is asked of Obregon is that there shall be no confiscation and no repudiation." Perhaps the idea, should be made to work both ways. ror tnere is an- other way. If guaranties not to re pudiate its foreign debts are to be made a new test under international law for the recognition of a govern ment, wny snouia not our previous recognition of a government be with drawn in case that government would not pay its debts to us? There's France, for example. Mr.. Loucheur declared a week or two ago that France never would and never could pay back the money which the United States government loaned to her during the war. IThe principle be ing applied to Mexico if applied to France, would necessitate the with drawal of America's diplomatic rec oguition to the French republic. The 1 . T r -r 1 J.1 11 repiy to ivir. ioucneur is me reiau of Ambassador HerrifJk, assuming that Mr. Louchjeur is voicing the views of the French cabinet. Or whenever Mr. Loucheur's attiture is made official, home comes Mr. Herrick. The application qi the principle to France illustrates its impossibil ity as a general rule of internation al law. The refusal to recognize Obregon for such a reason as the absence of debt guaranties imikes the act of recognition a mere debt collection agency. Europe is now full o'fi countries that cannot pay their debts, but that is not regarded as justifying their ostracism and ex clusion frotoi the society of nations. COTTON New York, March 6.

Rev W. R. Bradshaw cTelivered a strcT.g sermon at the First Baptist church yesterdav morning before a congregation that overflowed the auditorium and occu pied' the greater part of the Sunday schoo'l room. It was the fifth anni versary of his , pastorate of this church and his members and many friends turned out in force to hear him. The music was especially good and the attendance at Sunday school was beyond expectations. ''We will have to get a new preacher or enlarge the church," said one of the prominent .members, m commenting- on the attendance at church, add'ing that the church wcukl be enlarged. In his remarks, Mr. BradshiivV told of the growth c'f the church and Sunday school- the latter having been organized along modern line with graded classes and taught by men and women who' hold' certii'i cates froni the institutes. There have been added 300 rv embers to the church during the past year, Mr. Bradshaw told how Isaac turned from worldliness . and went back to Beersheba. the home of his fathers, and the minister gave a beautiful picture of the appeals to this man of Gc'd to forsake the world'. Back to tha old home ho went. back to the hallowed memories of childhood, where his father co'mmun ed with God and where he was in structed in the way of living, As Isaac turned back to his Beer sheba, so should christian people todav turn back to the church, to the sipmle preaching c'f the g;ospel of Christ: so should they forsake worldliness, and" work and pray for the kinedom of Gc'd. Mr. Brad shaw declared that he had never taken hold of any of the so-called liberal interpretations of the scrip tures, but had been glad to preach the simple message of Jesus. This he would continue to rio. Four persons were taken under the watch care of the church at the morning service and a number were baptized at the evening service. 10 BADLY INJURED AT GRADE K By the Associated Press.

It is felt;parison of the treaties with the that the showing was due to the good work of the officers and teach ers and' to an attractive advertise ment inserted in the Record Satur day afterncon. Superintendent Thos. P.

It was a wonderful showing, and Mr. Pruitt believes that the Record can at least be credited with the greater number of these 86 persons-. It was the fifth anniversary of Rev. W. R.

Within 24 or at most 48 hours, the world will know definitely whether .. Prime Minister Lloyd George has decided to resign or continue as chief of the coali tion government. This is the only substantial convjbtion coming from the tangled rumors from lifferent sections: Some were content to refrain from committing themselves whether the result would be a smash-up or patch- up. Even if the prime minister stays, nobody believes that the coal ition can last longer, though it may be prolonged until Irish legislation and the Genoa conference are out oj" the way. If this is for resignation of Mr. tain quarters that . nothing will be definitely announced until the speech of Sir Arthur Balfour on Tuesday. If this is for resignation of rM. Lloyd George, Sir Arthur will not in any event assume the premier-, ship,;i according to frequent) state ment today, but will be willing to take office under Austin Chamberlain as prime minister.

Replying to the criticism of the treaties, Senator New, a close per sonal friend of, President Harding, declared that the four-power treat ies gave hope of peace to the world. Senator New made a detailed corn- league of nations plan and asserted that the treaties were "cooperative," while the league, he said, "was drastic and compulsory and required submission of all questions to a counciL" "Instead of threatening, injuring or impairing our liberties, free in- tojstitutions, independence and sover- eigmy, inis treaty tne power mieasure) adds to the security of all of them;" said Senator New. He : i ii. r . j . at States. Regarding the treaty provisions for conference and determination of procedure in case of aggression, Sen ator New said that the Root-Taka-hire agreement contained a similar clause. We have had for a decade that declaration with Japn couched in identical language and yet no one heretofore hars suggested that this constituted anything resembling an alliance. "Assuredly, during the ten years of its existence, this has led us into no trouble, no embroilment, no oper ations under a military alliance." On the question of use of IJorce under the treaty. Senator New con tinued: "There is no provision for force by one against the others or by others against the one; there is here not even a covert threat of force. Force is not in this provision, explicitly or implicitly, either in the foreground or background. There is here only an undertaking among friends to talk over controversies and adjust them in a spirit of amity and brotherhood." Provtff-ncc, R. 'I., March 6.
