SEES NO SPLIT IN PARTY Bitter Reply by Senator La Follette Chester Concession Complicates the Lausanne Conference Mus solini Strengthens His Position in Italy Wedding of Duke cf York. Dy EDWARD W. PICKARD j . . . . . . . . . .... ............. ... j,. HAVE you made up your . mind on the question cf f f American membership in the ; world court? Do you believe ' . the President's insistence on . this issue will injure the chances ? . cf the Republican party in the next national election, or help these of the Democrats? r RE.IK. 'TI."; the r.ihbi' f certain possibly timorous advisers. Presi dent Harding has firmly committed himself, and his party so far as he is able, to American membership in the world court. In his New York address before the members of the Associated 1'ress he assorted that this was i:i keepim: with American ideals, ami fur ther had been repeatedly advocated by the Republican party in national conventions and by himself us that party's candidate, lie explained the plan clearly and without technicality and told how important the tribunal will be in the work of restoring Europe to normal conditions. The President insisted, as he has before, that he has no intention of trying to inveigle his country into the League of Nations. On this topic he sai I : 'In compliance with its pledges the new administration, which came into power in March. It'lM. ilehnito'v and decisively put n. ide all thought of the T'nited S;atcs enteri:; the Lea-rie of Nations. i ijne-n't propose to enter i.ow, b the side. door, the back door, or t.';e c.

The senate has so declare!, the executive has s,, declared, the people have so declare d. N'.-thl'ig o-i;!-! ho more i;e. isj dy stamped with finality." I'onoerning the fear cf some of the Republican leaders that tie issue would split the party. Mr. Harding had tiiis To say : 'I would not have it thought that I hold this question paramount to ail others confronting our government. I do not hold it a menace to the unity of any political party. It is not to be classed as a party question, but if any -party, repeatedly ailveienting a world court, is to be re-nded by the surest ion of an effort to perform in accordance with its pledges. ;t needs a new appraisal of its as eis. "nr problems at homo invariably call for first consideration, ttiir own house ii'o'si be kept in eider, our own good for: ui.e lei..-" be a.-suic'l before we can l.e hi rye -!, rihutors to world progress ,,r meas'i ra.b'. helpful to bu rn a nit y." Senators Lod-.. n. V.v. :: : r,d Wat son (Indiana) are ;.,. .l, preu.'gont of tl,(ist. iO i pi.,.,.- the Proside?l!"s program in the !..a;:cr of ii,e world court, and the M;i-.si.'hiis.'!ls man was selected to tell Mr. Harding how dan gerous "it was to -arty unity. Senator McKinb-y of Iiiinois and Representti tivo Hialiam, also of Illinois, candi date for house leadership, announced they would support the President, and It is certain that many Democrats will 'do the same. OF COURSE Senator La Follette Is against the world court plan and, If one believes what the Wisconsin statesman says, one must assume that President Harding is either wilfully and flagrantly deceitful or inconceiva bly stupid. Thlf ig a rather broad fS REVIEW OF statement, but what other deduction can be made from the assertions of l.a Follette. given to the press in "Wash ington last Wednesday? Here is a part of his f Diminution : "In its first aspect, this is a pari of the cleverly conceived plan of the in ternational bankers to entangle the United States in the affairs of Europe so that American wealth, American soldiers, and American ships can be used to safeguard and protect their now almost worthless investments in the bonds, currencies and enterprises of the tottering nations of Europe. This plan contemplates a political sham battle in which the Democrats will support the League of Nations and the administration Republicans will battle bravely for the world court in other words, for the league In dis guised and diluted form. Under this cunning plan, whether the pro-league Democrats or the pro-court Republic ans win. the n suit will be the same the United States will lie hopelessly en tangled in the European chaos. "In its second aspect, the glorifica tion of the world court is an attempt to draw a red herring across the trail of the great domestic issues and thus seek to save the administration and its supporting special interests from the wrath of an aroused and awakened people. They want American farmers to turn their eyes and their minds from their own bankrupt farms to the dev astated areas of Europe, and thus for get that their present deplorable con dition is the work of those great mo nopolistic interests which now the political and economic m of the I'r.it'-.d States.'' I. a Toilette's view is said te that of Senators Johnson am control i .'hinerv 1 be also I'.orah. and all three of them are planning to trail after the President on his speech-making tour and present to the people their side of the argument. PROSPECTS are bright for an early recognition of the Obregon govern ment of Mexico by the United States and the resumption of diplomatic rela tions. A joint commission has been ap pointed to discuss all matters in dis pute, and both governments are desir ous that the negotiations be expedited. Mexican officials believe the confer ences, which will be held in Mexico City, will be ended in four or five weeks. The American members of the commission are .John Rarton Payne of Chicago and Charles Reedier Warren, former ambassador to Japan. DESPITE the government's legal steps, the pri e of sugar contin ue to ud anoe, arid the consumer is advised to buy only in small qir.nt ii ies. from da to day, in order not to aid the speculators. The federal tariff commission denies that the tariff is to blame for the rise in sugar prices, but Conic!! Hull, chairman of the Demo cratic national committee, disputes this conclusion. Says he: "The chief original underlying basis for the recent skyrocketing of sugar is the prohibitive tariff wall, amount ing nominally to 2.110 cents, but in ef fect to 2..'C cents to 2.50 cents a pound, against the world, and the differential tariff in favor of Cuba amounting nom inally to ETC. cents, but in effect to l.tio cents to - cents a pound."' AMERiCA and American interests are cutting a big figure in the Lausanne peace conference, which was resumed last week. Underlying much of the discussion and negotiation is the gnat Chester concession which the rench sav in frin ges on concess ion grained then, by the oh! Turkish gov ernment and which the Rritish declare they will not recognize in so far as it may infringe .-n the lights they oh.im in the Mosul oil region. At the open ing of the conference Joseph C. Grew, heat! of- the American delegation of "observers", served notice that he and his colleagues would safeguard the legitimate national interests of the I .'itc-d States and would uphold the principle of equal commercial oppor tunity for till nations. Naturally he made no specific mention of the ("fl es ter concession, and up to this time it is said he has received no advices from the State department regarding it. Rut in Washington it was understood that the government had carefully investi gated the concession, had concluded it was not monopolistic in character, and consequently would instruct the Amer ican delegates at J,ausanne to stand up for the rights oX Admiral Chester and win n - 1 1 1 ennia 1 of "Hoiue, Sweet Kumaniu. addressing first congress Naval Reserve, getting an eagle boat his fellow-eoncessionfiji'es. The P.ritish are inclined to support the French con tentions in the matter, and it may be the whole dispute will be referred to arbitrators. France and Turkey now have a "mad on" at each other, and both have made threatening gestures in the way of military concentrations along the Syrian frontier. The Turks, however, say they do not expect war, and an official statement from Angora indi cates they will make enough conces sions to insure peace. At present they are assuming an unyielding attitude in the conference. ALL THE world has been waiting to see whether Chancellor Cuno would give into the demands of the so cialists and others and make a defi nite offer on reparations. It may be he will have done so before this is read. For a few days the Germans were encouraged in their fight against the French in the Ruhr by garbled re ports of a speech by Marquis Curzon. indicating that England might inter vene. Then they learned that urzon had meant j".st the opposite, and later he also made it clear that Great I'.ritain would n.-t act as an intermediary for any offer from Germany to France. The P.crliti socialist press says the industrial magnate--, by buying foreign exchange heavily on the P.erlin bourse, have negatived the efforts of the reichsbank to maintain the mark at a stable level, and I'min is called on to investigate. It is believed, however, he will do nothing because an inquiry might implicate him. BENTT" i MUSS H.INI is preparing to put into effect in Italy some more drastic reforms, according to reports from Rome, and is likely to drive ail non-fascist members from his cabinet, so that there shall be no effective oppo sition. Moreover, he proposed to the Fascist supreme council that all the Fascist! be embodied i!it' a national militia ii s a reserve naval force, and to this the council agreed.. The militia thus becomes an army of r.oO.ooO men, but no additional expenditure is 'en tailed, because the new men enter the actual service only in an emergency. In this way Mussolini, it would appear, would hold the whip-hand over all his opponents.

TURKS, reparations and all other kinds of trouble were forgotten for a few days in Txuidon, and the people turned their attention to the marriage of the duke of York, second son of King George and Queen Mary, and Lady Elizabeth Rowes-Lyon, daughter of the earl of Strathniore.

CALIFORNIA'S anti-alien land laws were before the United States Su preme court last week in a bearing to te.-f their constitutionality. Attorney General Webb, presenting the state's case, was interrupted by questions from the bench. "What we want to know," Chief Justice Taft interjected, "is what the Japanese are doing to which you take ; objection." v ! "The white people refuse to assimi- j late with the Japanese," Mr. Webb re- I plied, "and as the Japanese line ad vances we retreat, and we do not like to retreat. "When the Japanese occupy land in our state, they exclude from it people who might become citizens. We be lieve our government, state and na tional, will be best protected and served when our lands are occupied by those who have sympathy with our in stitutions and can be compelled to con tribute to its preservation."
