A firm foreign policy is dcnianded, lint what the policy should consist of. is not defined. The rights of the toiler are ad vocated hut nothing saiil as to what, these rights are or how to procure them. It is easy to consult, last year's slock market and fell how a fortune could have heeu made. If is another prob lem fo crate a fortune from tomorrow's market. It. is easy to review the past and point out mistakes afler a crisis has been passed, but it is a different proposition to skillfully pass a crisis of today or the future. Criticism of the Mexican situation 1'nrnis the bulk of Mr. liny-lies' speecth. The president is censured for not recojiniziof; Ilucrta. Hut Mr. Hughes does not state what should have been done or what he would have done if pres ident. Does Mr. Hughes favor ico, or is he simply playing polit ics I Voulil Air.

Mr. Hughes wants national preparedness for war but he does not fell how to secure it. He censures t he pres ident lor callinu- out fhe militia to y-uard the border but he does not. say how the emergency should have been met. Does he favor a I a rye standing army'? If so, how large'i Does lie favor universal military service? What does In mean by preparedness'? Mr. Hughes acceptance speech is remarkable for it hick of constructive surest ions a straddle of jcenera li lies, the plea of a politician without an issue seeking office. A BRITISH 'TMIK execution of Sir Rof'cr Casement adds another serious blunder to (Jreaf Dritaiii's lon- list of cabinet mistakes.

She has alieniated the iluential party in America without reason. ( 'asenient 's crime was political and due to a mental con dition.
