Un der the old rules, there was an in centive for the attacking team to try to work In to a nearng-the-goal touchdown, and for the ene my to crowd them out: for the ball was brought in straight from the point whre the touchdown was scored. The team that had to go over the line out near the cor ner was simply outmanenvered in having to make the touchdown that far away, and hadn't quite earned the almost sure point of an easy kick under the present rules. "The yet older rules-that gave only four points for a touchdown, and two for the goal kick, were manifestly unequal, though they were as fair for one team as for another.

Should this policy b-s finally adopted, tt would be based on the contention that the treaty guar antees the security of the islands from attack by any signatory powjer and that they should be left to the protection of interna tional good faith. As an evidence of its own complete good failh such action by the United State. it was said, would hav striking emphasis. The possibility of ag gression against the islands by any non-signatory power is re garded as so remote as not to de serve consideration. Fortification Prevented. In any event, it was said today, the provisions of the naval libita tion treaty setting up a status quo agreement as to defense of the Philippines or other Islands cov ered by its terms, prevents estab lishment of fortification ade quate to repel an. invader bent on occupation of Manila. Already in anticipation of ratification, both the army and navy have ordered shipments of mines and anti-air craft guns scheduled to be add?d to the Manila defense, stopped en route. The war department also has rescinded orders for a bombing squadron of airplanes . which would ha ve added materially to strength of the Philippine garri sons. Discussion of the possibility of abandoning entirely the land de fense of the islands and the vlr toal closing up of fortifications there has been brought to the front in planning for distribution of regular forces under the 150 000 restriction in number already made for the army.

HULL FIRES FIRST GUNS National Chairman of Dem ocratic Party Excoriates Republican Leaders PEOPLE MISLED, CHARGE Address Delivered Before In diana Democratic Edi torial Conference INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Feb. 1 6. The Democratic congressional campaign in the middle west was opened here tonight by Chairman Hull, of the national committee with an address in which he de clared "aimlessness and inaction" to be the controlling policy of the Republican administration. , Speaking before the Indiana Democratic Editorial assoc'atlon Chairman Hull asserted that Re publican leaders with all their falsehoods exposed and all their promises broken, "were pursuing' a rudderless course while the peo ple continue to cry out for relief. He added that "in the meantime the Lodges, the Newberrys and those of their ilk in control of the Republican party, are having their frequent political Belshaz zer feasts in the nation's capital." Conference Hit The Democratic chairman allud ed to the arms conference at sev eral points in his address, at one time declaring its "proceedings and achievements." to have been "grossly exaggerated" and at an other making the charge that "the Republican administration through the conference had surrendered more of our national than has been previously surren dered in more than a hundred years." t Particular stress was laid by Mr. Hull on what he declared was the inability of the Republican administration to cope with dis turbed economic conditions and in that connection he charged that Republican leaders in 1920 de ceived the people by failing to point out the imminent depres sion. Hull Han Fiery Tongue "In my judgment," he told the Indiana Democratic editors "ca tle were never more deliberately led to slaughter nor sheep to th shambles than wre the American people led over the precipice to chance conditions and terrific buisiness demoralization by the national Republican leaedrship from 1918 to 1921. No people, free or serf were ever worse flimflammed and buncoed than the American electorate by the Republican political patriots in control prior to the November paction In 19 20, since that elec tion, the people, fololwing this same Republican leadership have waltzed down the economic de cline to tho level of industrial panic. In this condition of almost unparalleled distress the Republi can administration, whilo rather sheepishly admitting conditions, has no views as to causes or rem edies. Coolidge Crlticianvl Time was. Chairman Hull de clared, when the American voters believed "that .Republican admin istration and business prosperity tro hand in hand." but. h" added, "never again will the American voter be, duped by the false and vnocritical doctrine that Repub lican administration means pros perity, The Democratic chairman sev eral times referred to the address rcentlv made by Vice President Coolldge in Indianapolis, and criticised the vice president for what he described as his "egreg rious blunder" in the claim or new economv and his deadly silence on the Newberry scamlal. which took place under hi very nose. 'The Republican claim of saviims in governmental expendi tures, he continued, was not act ual, "but a mere paper saving." Lodge F,xcorited Before entering upon h's" dis ensbion of the arms conference, Mr. Hujt paid his respect to Sen ato Ixdge. deelarng "his tortu ous course in politics Is most re mindful of that of Catallne. the political conspirator In the Roman senate, while his statesmanship most nearly resembles that of Aaron Burr."
