The trumpeters of the McNary-Hau- gan measure cried to all and sundry that no other plan could make the! price of wheat bulge.

"ess have been material factors in preventing the accom- plishment of a plan which would put Germany and the rest cf Furone on a sound basis. : At the present inter-allied canference, however, there is semething tangible to be considered. The Dawes reparation plan as worked out by experts is before, the.delegates. It already. has: the indorsement of the leading statesmen of’ Rurope. It offers a method by which Germany can be re- habilitated, can pay reparations and would settle the vexing problems which have brought an uncertainty about the fu- ture in all European countries. 4 With the French and British governments favorable to the Dawes plan, and Germany leaning toward it, there is hope that the work of American experts may be translated into effective action. Ts If you could get all the candystore and other confection- ery clerks in the country together in a convention, the at- tendance would be 350,000. Another 150,000 make the stuff. There’s roughly one person serving sweetmeats for every 200 of us. _ _ Out of every $1 vou spend for food, 6 cents goes for sugar in one form or another. The refiners ferreted out this infor- mation. Maybe it seems too much. But it’s claimed that sugar. | eosting only 6 per cent of the nation’s food bill, furnishes 13 per cent of the “total energy or fuel value of all foods cor sumed in the United States. There is as much physical stimulation in two lumps of “vrag as in an old-time alcoholic cocktail. This is scientific fact. ‘No such claim is made as regards mental exhilaration.

Hunt. NEA Service Writer New York, July 17.—The Ku Klux Klan: battle in the Democratic Na- tional Convention already is bear- ing fruit. Reports from the south and west are that klansmen, under the stimu- lus of the advertising given the organization by the New. York con- test, are renewing organization ef- forts and that greater numbers of re- cruits than ever before enrolled in similar time have been listed with- in the past ten days. At Richmond, Va., on July 4, one of the largest “naturalization” cere- monies ever staged under the flam- ing cross was carried out before an audience estimated at 30,000. New Jersey, West Virginia, Carolina, Indiana, Kansas and other southerh and western states report a recrudescence of the klan movement, all of which is declared to have been directly due to the anti-klan activity brought to a head in the fight on the Democratic plat- form. South William Jennings Bryan, therefore, EVERETT TRUE appears to have proven a true ‘prophet for once. a In opposing direct mentionvof the klan in his party's platform, he maintained that the. emphasis: and importance which ‘such action would attach’ to the klan would be :the‘big- gest factor in perpetuating it or even in adding to its strength. Sub- sequént-events seem to confirm this contention. In their new drive for member- ship, klansmen are quoting- George Washington as the firgt,,;,Ameriean voicing the klan. erged.{; They cite his famous order: + NA “Put: nope but Americans on guard. tonight,” ‘as containing the crux of the klan viewpoint, - which they insist is merely a demand for Americanism as the first and su- preme requirement for all posts of public trust. Also, the barrier set up by -the constitution against any but native- born Americans being eligible to election as president, they contend, is inspired"by the same motive and is identical in intent with klan. re- quirements.
