rlot'a plan as premier la to save
France solely by Interior resources,
without foreign aid. No credits!
?Would be asked of Foreign bunks. |
The London debt agreement would
)fropose a settlement with the
United States by arbitration pre
ferably before the international
Cburt.
s There would be a capital levy
1ft France perhaps under some oth
er name. for example, "special
contribution of wealth." If nec
essary there would be enforced
consolidation of the floating debt
and even conversion to a lower In
terest rate of the entire national ,
debt. There would be no luflatlon
nnder any circumstances whatev
er.

Thus, far there ia no ques- 1
of including Raymond l'oln- .
in the combination. M. Her- \
expresses a atrong determina
te succeed. The writer's Im
pression is that he will succeed In
farming a ministry and having a
aiftall majority. This however, de
pends on whether and to what ex
tant the left center consents to
collaborate with him.
Among those mentioned for the
Usance ministry are Mm De Mem
ale, Palnleve, Dumesnll and Bon
net. Among the other llerrlot
ministers probably will be Mm IJa
tadier, Chautemps, Renoult, Dura
four. Quellle, Oiafferi, Hesse. I>a

v After the government has been
formed the real difficulties will
begin. The first are political. It
ia uncertain how long a majority
thus formed can be maintained.
Second comes the exchange sit
uation. The franc fell violently to
day at the mere prospect of anoth- I
?r government. Most of the peo
of France still are confusedly j
Ignorant regarding the real mean- 1
tog of the fall of the franc. There
?re no aigna yet of a popular panic

The fourth factor is the capital j

According to thia scheme, all ex- i

Washington. July 21- Herbert
Hoover. Secretary of Commerce,
las written friends recently that '
le believes Calvin Cool Id ge |8 the
oglcal man to succeed himself an
President of the I'uited Stales In
he elect Ion of 1928.
This reply has gone forth to
several Inquirers who uad endeav
ored to interest Mr. Hoover In the
possibility of gelt inif thine* start
ed In bis behalf for the next Pres
idential election. Kvary man of
prouilueuce and popularity lu pub
lic life has politically minded
friends who feel thai iwu years
ahead of ail election U none to
naily to start The Secretary of
Commerce however, has njuelched
ull -Hiese effort* and there Is no
i?ne lu the Coolldge cabinet who la
more loyal to the President polit
ically and otherwise.
It is know u that Mr. Hoover ha*
long desired to make a public
statement of his belief in the ne
cessity of nominating and electing
Mr. Coolldge but he has been em
barrassed by the fact that Mr.
Coolldge has preferred not to have
anyone In his official family even
discussing 192s because It might
be mis construed as having been
Inspired by him.
So. Mr. Hoover has kept alleut.
And the fact that he wrote several
letters to friends eHpousitu; the
CSolldge cause Was not disclosed
u "c bul out today
hrougfc some of those who had
learned of the letters after they
were sent.
The peculiar importance of Mr
Hoover's pronouncement however.
Is that he Is being accused in po
ll! V?*Lrc2f" ?r httV,n* an ?*y? oil
the 19-8 Presidential nomination
In Congress especially the Secre
tary Of Commerce waa not always
regarded as approviiiK or dtaap
proving measures without a sug
geatlon of political advantage or
disadvantage. Opponents of some
of Mr Hoover's policies have not
omitted the opportunity to ascribe
his rights against certain kinds of
foreign loans as being a bid for
political support for himself
All this has only Irritated the
Secretary of Commerce and stlm
ulated him to scotch the political
angle once and for all. This has
now been done lu his communica
tions to friends.
It l? ?li) thai l>re?l<l(.nl Cool
idge knows of Mr. Hoover's atti
tude. Indeed that he has known it
for some time, and that efforts to
cause friction between the White
House and Mr Hoover on the
ground that Mr. Hoover was plan
nlng his own political campaign
have caused only amusement to
those at the executive mansion
who have known the truth. Mr
Hoover Is In Minneapolis today
making an Important speeeeh and
It probably will be considered as
a personal political effort but It
really is Intended to strengthen the
roolldge administration.
Mr. Hoover Is one of Ihe young
?st men In political life and aotne
day he may be considered serious
7 for the Presidential nomlna
Hon. but not lu 1928, unless, of
course. Mr. Coolldge should upset
? II calculations by refusing to run
again. Mr. Hoover will complete
next spring his tenth conaecutlve
year In public life here. He Is one
of the few men who came here
nurlng the war and served In both
Democratic and Republican ad
ministrations In positions of exe
rutlve responshlly He popil
lar among the correspondents here
who recognise his ability and If
It were left to them some day to
choose a president on merit and

GOVERNOR WONT
ARGUE WITH THE
BLESSED WOMEN
**l Have Nothing to Say^
Ik Soft Answfr of Mr. M6
l.eun to Accusations of
Dr. Delia Dixon Carroll
IS OLD FASHIONED
Tho*e Wh<? Know the Got
crnor Say He Simply
Wouldn't Get In an Argu
ment With Any Woman,
Italelgh. July 21. ? "I have
, nothing *?y"
Thin Governor A. W. McLenu
refused la enter Into any coniro
1 v?*r*y with Dr. Delia Dlxon-Cgr
roll with regard to her veraoitytaa
the veracity of her associates, fol
lowing Dr. Dlion-Carroll'a charf*
'??h that she and her asaoclatM
! frightened the Governor Into or
dering the survey of Woman la
' Industry In the first place by
agreeing lo ?'tell" of hli alleged
| "Inault" to them If he would pro
re??d with the survey.
This startling revelation of the
Governor's meek submission jto
mandate* of the club wumen of
the State, who were about to ralae
,th?* rry of "Insult, Insult" on 1Mb
floor of the Fedoratlon of Wo*
men's Clubs If he did not car TJ
?ut their wishes, was made by Dr.
Delia Dixon-Carroll in connec*
j lion with a modem expression of
her dlHup point uieut that the auf
\ey was not to proceed. This
"mudest" slutemeiit ronslated of
'some 2,000 words or more, and !&
. It she hu Id :
| "We have remained quiet about
this because we sent word to. the
'Governor that the Inault would
i not he reported ou the floor Qt
*4bn nwiioiiHon of the Fedafttoa -
of Women's Clubs if the surrey
was granted. Within 48 hoani
the survey was granted and tbe re
port of the Insult was not made to
'the fHderutlon that convene five
days later."
The "Insult" alleged by Dr.
Dixon Carroll was that the Qov
ernoi has asked a member of the
i women's committee waiting on hloi
If sli e was in the employ oi certain
| Northern Interests.
Those who know the Governor
are not surprised that he should
fall to dignify the charges made
by Dr. Carroll with a reply, 'tad
point out that Governor Mr Leah
i Is of the old school Southern ge^
tlenien who would not deign to e^
.ler Into a controversy with aa?
. woman, no matter what rhargo
she might make reflecting on by
Integrity or verarily. ?
However, there are others vM)
believe that as long as womn have
Insisted on entering polltlca. that
they should be given no more con
sideration than any others, fetid
that when charges of the nature
'of that made by Dr. Carroll la
made that It should either b* plW
en or retracted. These namrf peo
ple say that anyone who know*
.'Coventor McLean at all kuewe
that he would not insult anf Vflf
' man and that he did not
any member of the rommltreaeiafc
er directly or Indirectly, with be
ing an agent of any Northern lu
tertsts. Neither Is he the sort {9
submit to any alleged "threeta,"
| by man or woman, at the espbfl0?
(of being "exposed" before a cluj>
. women's contention.
In fact, there were othera prea
??nt at the time this committee
talked to the Governor, ni)d la*
stead of the Governor making any
charge or allusion to "Northern
Intorests" a womsn member of tbe
| committee. It has been learaed>
mentioned the fact that she 'bad
been accused of being In tbe -pay
of North {liferents, but up9Q,^kee
voluntary statement that she wae
not, the Governor let the matter
pass. No threats of any kind VeA
made, It is authoritatively learned.
Despite the volcanic outliers*
Dr Dixon-Carroll and a few of her
followers, general approbation gad
approval of the course taken by
Coventor McLean In railing a bait
in the survey when It hersme ap
parent that It could not be made
harmoniously and without preju
dice. Is coming in from all a<*
t Ion s of the State and even froai
outside t he State For evea Mlee
Mary Anderson, Director of tbe
Women's Bureau, of the If 8. De
partment of Labor. and undeg
whose direction these ssme etub
women at first desired tbe aerrey
lo be made. Is In definite aad
hei?rty agreement with Qoveraer
McLean In that unless tbe survey
could be made with the hearty co
operation of all roncerned K wave
better not to make it at all.
It Is being freely expressed I*
political circles that tbe attaefc
made upon Governor MrLean by
Dr Dixon-Carroll and her follow
ers In strengthening his posltloa
rather than threatening It.
