Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
KINO ALBERT, of Belgium, sends
thla message to the world In
ternational conference that li meet
ing In Switzerland, at Lausanne:
"Only united action In Interna
tional solidarity can bring ' reme
dies for the profound Ilia ti.e vrorld
la Buffering. It la time that this
aolldarlty ahows Itaelf other than
by speeches."
WHEN they try to say something
Important, kings, unfortunately,
like a lot of editors, are inclined
to use such big. knotty, indigestible
words that common, ordinary people
don't know what they are talking
about.
What King Albert had in mind
to say was probably something like
this:
"If the leading nations of the
world are to save themselves from
ruin, they must get together and
llnd a solution for their common
problems. And the time has come
lor them to DO SOMETHING, In
stead of Just talking."
P THAT is what he meant to say,
more power to him.
The nations of the world have it
in their power to put an end to all
the troubles that are worrying us
so terribly. But they won't co-operate
sincerely. All they are willing
to do Is to get together at interna
tional conferences at pleasant pleas
ure resorts and talk and talk and
talk, with SELFISHNESS and GREED
at the back of all the talk.
King Albert Is quite right when he
says to the nations that It Is time
to quit talking and DO SOMETHING.
congressman HAWLEY, back In
Oregon for a few days, says he
HOPES congress will adjourn within
a few days.
It can be added, without violat
ing any confidence, that nearly all
of us here in Oregon Join with him
in his hopes.
TT7HY does Congressman Hawley
" hope congress may adjourn soon?
He puts his answer rather clearly:
"The longer congress is In session
now, having done the major busi
ness It had In hand," he says, "the
greater the pressure will be to ap-
nrlate more funds for expendl
tui "That Is why I hope adjournment
may come soon."
EVEN congressmen, you see, are
Inclined to talk In big words.
What he means Is this:
"Congress has passed a tax bill,
which, as things now stand, will pro
vide enough money to pay the gov
ernment's bills. Thst was Its big
Job.
"But the longer congress remains
in session the greater will be the
probability that It will SPEND SO
MUCH MORE MONEY that the tax
bill will no longer provide enough
Income with which to pay the gov
ernment's bills.
"In that event, we should be no
better off than we were before the
tax bill was passed, and the budget
rould be as far out of balance as
liver."
w
HAT we need, more thaa any
thing else, if business la to Im
prove, Is Increased confidence In the
future on the part of business men
and Investors.
As long as business men and In
vestors fesr thst congress may at
any moment pass legislation that
will endanger the whole financial
structure of the country, they are
not going to have very much confi
dence in the future.
THAT is why iVwould be a fine
thing for business generally II

Workable, Sound Is Claim
WASHINGTON, June 21. (API
John N. Garner, speaker of the house,
swung his political lariat toward the
Democratic presidential nomination
today with a statement urging repeal
of the 18th amendment.
In a statement to newspaper men,
the speaker said he had voted against
tttae 1th amendment and added: "I
have never believed it sound or work
able and It should be repealed."
He said California and Texas Dem
ocrats are sending delegations to the
vote for my nomination for the pres
idency. Willing to Serve
"This has been done without my
solicitation," he continued. "I ap
preciate the support of my friends
and am willing to serve my country
and my party to the limit of my ca
pacity." His statement follows in full:
"Many of my friends, not only
those residing in my own district
and state, but throughout the coun
try, have asked me repeatedly to ex
press myself on various public ques
tions. "I have maintained the position I
assumed when I was elected speaker
of the house of representatives, that
Z would not indulge In the discus
sion of controversial issues not im
mediately under consideration by the
house.
"Moreover, during the thirty years
I have been a member of congress,
practically every principle involved
In the problems of the nation today
have been before the house and my
views thereon are a matter of rec-ord.-

"This country has erected tariff
barriers that are practically excluding
the products of foreign nations. This
makes It economically Impossible for
these nations to buy from us the
produces of our farms and our fac
tories, therby aggravating our Indus
trial depression,
"All relief measures so far have
been purely temporary and do not go
to the root of the trouble. No sound
thinking citizen can favor the dole;
neither can the government sit Idly
by and see Its people starve when
they are willing to work.'

"Enough work must be provided
to keep the people from starving and
we shall be fortunate Indeed If this
Irreducible cost minimum does not
greatly exceed the amount provided

BY EX-
NEW YORK, June 21. (AP) The
New York Times said today thet John
M. Callahan, member of the Demo
cratic national committee from Wis
consin, has sent to all delegates to
the Democratic national convention
copies of letters Intended to show
the movement for Franklin D. Roose
velt In the south received aid from
the Ku Klux Klan.
The letters purport to be corres
pondence; between Roosevelt,, his. pre
convention manager, James A. Far
ley, and organizers of the Roosevelt
southern clubs. Callahan obtained
the letters from these organizers, F.
B. Summers and C. W. Jones, of At
lanta, who are now suing the gov
ernor for money they aaJd they ex
pended In his behalf.
Callahan, running unpledged as a
supporter of Alfred E. Smith in the
Wisconsin primaries, was defeated by
Roosevelt delegates. In "open let
ter" accompanying the copies, he
said, "with such damaging Informa
tion in circulation it will be impos
sible to win the election in Novem
ber unless another candidate la se
lected at the convention in Chicago."
' The attitude of the Roosevelt camp
has been that neither Summers nor
Jones has been connected with the
Roosevelt movement for several
months and that any Implications
that the governor was aware of their
alleged dealings with the Ku Klux
Klan are too ridiculous to be digni
fied by a denial.

20. Mr. Hoover snys he is
not going out and lectioncfT
for the j). That's kinder like
a pitcher saying "I don't need
to even warm up against this
team." I believe if aome on
of the Democratic candidates
would aay the same thing, he
would be nominated, for the
Democrats have lost many an
election between June and No
vember. This is one year the more
man promises the less he will
be believed. Voters are not go
ing to voto for a man this year
with any hope of him helpin;
'cm any, they are junt going to
vote for him for! Well I don't
believe they will even go to the
trouble of voting. They have
lost everything else, so they are
afraid they might lose their
vote.
