PAGE SIX CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS 19 | ISSUE AT POLLS { | | 1 Residents of Three Platte County} Districts to Vote on Proposal to Combine Educational Centers (Special to The Tribune) WHEATLAND, Wyo., April 12.— Consolidation of rural schools is to be the leading ‘issue at the coming school elections in at least three dis- tricts of the county, the movement now being under way in the districts centering about Guernsey, Chug- water and Wheatland. Consolidation in a limited form has already been decided on for Guern-) 8 five schools in the territory} adjacent to town will be closed next! term and the pupils transported to] the fine new school plant which was provided for by the $55,000 bond is- sue voted at a recent election. Interest at the election to be held in Wheatland centers around the proposition advanced by members of the school board to bond the district to the extent of $125,000 for the pur- pose of buying six trucks of the largest and most substantial type, the erection of an addition to the town school plant, and other expenses in- cidental to the proposed change. In- terest in the issue has reached a high pitch, and present indications point to a spirited fight between the sup-| porters and opponents of the moye- ment at the May election. In District 2, comprising the ter- ritories adjacent to Chugwater and Slater, the general sentiment appears to be for division of the district in order to facilitate consolidation at| the two points mentioned above. The! question of division ‘has been post-| poned, however, until litigation over school funds pending between Dis- tricts 2 and 3 has been disposed of. $$ »—_____ Agreement Being Reached on Mex Oil Regulations MEXICO CITY, April 12.—The| petroleum commission of the cham-| ber of deputies has agreed on certain | portions of a new project soon to be! submitted to congress, the chief of | which is regulation of article 27 of the constitution so that’ it shall not be retroactive, according to E: elsior today, which claims to have exclusive | official information on the subject... | (Continued from Page 1.) ities shovid be prohibited.

The president's discussion of the Peace question opened with a definite declaration against the existing league of nations. DECLARATION AGAINST LEAGUE 18 FIRST. “In the existing league of nations, world governing with its superpow- ers," said the. president, “this repub- lic will have no part. “There can be no misinterpretation and there will be no betrayal of the deliberate expression of the American people in the recent ‘election; and settled in our decision for ourselves, it is only fair to say to the world in general and to our associates in war in particular that the league cov can haye no sanction by us. * * * * Manifestly the highest purpose of the league of nations was defeated in linking it.with the treaty of peace and making it the enforcing agency of the, victors of the war. * * * * There can be no prosperity for the fundamental .purpose sought 10 be achieved by any such association so long as it is an organ of any parti- cular tpeaty, or committed to the statement of the special aims of any nation, or group of nations, * = * * In rejecting the league covenant cn ut- tering the rejection to our own people and to the. world, we make no sur- render of our hope and aim for an association to promote peace in which we would most heartily join. * * * *. “In the national referendum (the last election) we pledged our efforts toward such association and the Pledge would be faithfully kept. In the plight of policy and performance we told the American people we meant to seek an early establishment of peace. The United States. alone among the allied and associated pow- ers continues in’ a technical state of war against the central powers of Europe. The anomalous condition oughtn ot to be permitted {o continue. To establish the state of technical peace without delay, I should approve @ declaratory resolution by congress to that effect with the qualifications essential to protect all rights. Such action would be the simplest keeping of faith with oursclves and coutd in no sense be construed as a desertion of those with whom we shared our sacrifices in war, for these powers are already at peace.

It must add_no dif- ficulty in effecting, with just®repara- tion, the restoration for which Europe yearns, and upon which the world’s economy must be founded. Neither former enemy, nor ally can mistake America’s position, because cur at- titude as to responsibility for the war and the necessity for just reparations already has had formal and yery earnest expr ion. “Tt would be unwise to undertake to make such a statement of future policy with respect to\ European af- fairs in such a declaration of a state of peare. in correcting the failure of the executive’ in negotiating the most important treaty in the history of the nation, to recognize the con stituted powers of the senate we would go to the other extreme, equa!- ly objectionable, if congress or the senate should assume the function of the executive.

SEPARATE TREATIE: ARE IDLE TALK. be idle to dectare “for les of peace with the powers on the assumption that ‘these alone would be adequate, because the situation is so involved that our peace engagements cannot ignore the old world-relationship. and the settlements already effected nor is It desirable to do sq in preserving our own rights and~eyntracting our future relationships. “Phe \wiser course would seem to be the acceptance of the confirmation of our rights and interests as ulready provided and to engage under the existing treaty, assuming, of course, that this can be satisfactorily ac- complished by such explicit reserva tions and modifications as will se- cure our absolute freedom from in central ndvisable commitments and safe- guard all our essential interests. “Nelther congress nor the people need my assurance that a request to negotiate needed treaties of pence would’ be as superfluous and unneces- sary as it is technically ineffective and I know in my own heart there is none who would wish to embarrass the executive in the performance of his duty when we all are so eager to turn disappointment and deldy into gratifying accomplishment. NATIONALISM NOT TO BE SURRENDERED. “The weariness at home and the disappointment to the world have been this republic compensated in the proof that will, surrender none ,of the heritage nationality, but our rights in internatio: relationships have to be asserted; they require es- tablishment in compacts of amity; our part in readjustment and restoration cannot be ignored and must be de: fined.

We can be helpful because we aro moved by no hatreds and harbor no fears, Helpfulness does not mean en- tanglement, and participation "am eco- nomic adjustments does not mean sponsorship for treaty commitments which do not concern us and in which we will have no part. | WILL GO TO THE SENATE FOR ADVICE. | “In an. allirnpelting wish to do the |most and ‘best for our own ‘republic and maintain its high place among nations and at the same time make the fullest offering of Justice to them |I shall inyite in the most practical }way the advice of the senate; after |acquainting it with all the conditions [to be met and obilgations to be dis jcharged, along with onr rights to be safeguarded.

By striking resolutely at! expenditure, he said, a solution would! be hastened and he warned congre: that to continue a course of unlimited expenditure would mean “inevitable disaster." Economy in. government, | he sald, would find its reflex in econ- omy and thrift among the people themselves. i Discussing readjustment of tax tion President Harding said that the} country did not expect and would not | approve a shifting of tax burdens, but! was more interested in ‘wiping out| the necessity for imposing ther.” The government, he said, was committed! to the repeal of the excess profits ta: and to abolish the “iniquities and un. fustifiable exasperations” in the pres: ent tax system.

DEFLATION NOT YET COMPLETED, CLAIM. Deflation, the president told .con- gress, might well receive ts attention, becatihe while reduce@ costs in basic production had been ‘recorded, defd- tion had failed to teach the “mark where it could be “proclaimed to the great mass of consumers.“ Congress,” he sald, “might help speed price read- justments by ‘suitable inquiry Discussing the railroad question, Prosident Harding said there would be an “avowed foundation on which ‘to rebuild, if it could be understood that ‘congress has no sanction for govern- ment ‘ownership,” and “does not levy taxes upon the people-to cover deficits in a service which should be self-sus- tainin, RAILROAD OPERATING COSTS MUST BE CUT. Railway rates and costs of opera tion, he said, must be reduced because freight rates had mounted until “com: meree is halted and production dis- couraged.” Development of good roads and in- land. waterways, the president said, were collateral subjects with the transportation question, and besides indorsing federal aid to highways he urged. congress to formulate a con- sistent program.

BONUS QUESTION IS PASSED OVER. In recommending an efficient co-ordi- nation of the various agencies having’ to do with the welfare and assistance of soldiers and sailors, the president made no mention of the bonus ques- tion. _He recommended the creation of a department of public welfare, making it plain there was no purpose by the federal government ‘to invade fields which the states have occupied. In recommending speedy considera- tion of the army and navy appropria- tion bills the president declared that, while the government was in accord with the wish to eliminate the burden of heavy armament and was ready to co-operate with other governments to approximate. disarmament, it would not “entirely discard our agencies for defense until there is removed the need to defend.” He made no’ specific dec: laration as to the size of the army or the navy except to say that the naval program could “carry no threat after the latest proof of our national unself- ishness.”* be!
