GREAT BRITAIN SPEAKS The British prime minister’s statement on the Ruhr is one which cannot but have considerable influ- ence on world opinion, in so far as fopinion is not hopelessly preoccu- I pied with special considerations or }foregone conclusions. In the Unit- jed States, we venture to say, Mr |Baldwin’s statement will receive ‘very general assent and approval as expressing certain truths, from our point of view, almost self-evident,| as, for example, “that the period of | conflict should as soon as possible} he terminated; that the indefinite occupation by one country of the! territory of another in time of} peace is a phenamenon rare and re- grettable in itself, to which an hon- orable end should as soon as pos- sible be found; that the debtor should not merely be called upon to pay his debt, but should be placed | in a position where he can do a0, and that his capacity, where it is in| doubt, should be tested and deter- | mined, and that united | efforts should be made to accomplish these ends.”” The statement is, nevertheless, merely preliminary, or, it is more uveurate to say, preparatory, though a very tactful and effective prepa- ration, well calculated to bring neutral opinion to the moral sup- port of the British effort. What concrete proposals the British gov- ernment has decided upon remains still to be disclosed Meantime, however, we would call the attention of the American public to a most significant and im- portant aspect of the situation. It is that the British government, on the one hand, and the French gov- ernment on the other, are express- ing the undoubted will of their re-| spective peoples. Parliament, re- gardless of parties, has closed ranks and moved up solidly behind the prime minister. We th without doubt M. Poincare would have an overwhelming vote of confidence at this moment, not only in the cham bre des deputes but in the country. This is because both the British and French policies are expressive of profound elements in their his- toric experience, their character, and their national needs- They are not mere improvisations of states- men. We would emphasize this because of the superficial talk in this coun- bout old statesmen who make or ir in deep, dark conspiracies sh policies of states to their o while the guilele friendlines: ends, » laving| to 8 masses are led Prudden, 1720-23 Til; 286 Fifth] jlobe Bldg...

DOPE The tragic death of Wallace Reid, | coupled as it was with a partial ex- pose of the drug traffic on the |coast and particularly in film cir- cles in Hollywood, has had one ex- cellent effect. Like most tragedies which leed to exposure, a movement immediately is set afoot to rectify |the situation. Now the “Los An- |geles Anti-Narcotic league, an or- jsanization with an imposing. list of jnames including that of Mrs. Wal- lace Reid, is very busy fighting the dope ring. | The widow of the immortal “Wal- lie” paid a heavy price for her expe- | rience. Now she is going to show on | the screen the ravages of narcotics. There is no reason to doubt her sin- cerity, although sincerity is not a common characteristic of those in the motion picture spotlight who suddenly rush into a leading part in the films because of some notoriety. However, Mra. Reid’s is not, appar- ently, such a case. Money she will |probably make, in considerable efforts. But propaganda against “dope” is the important thing for the reat of the world; and she is in a position to make such a crusade a telling force. Dr. Henry Van Dyke was recent- ly authority for the statement that there are 1,500,000 drug addicts in the United States today. Most of them are under 26 years of age. This is a terrible indictment. Mrs. Reid is not alone in the fight she wages. She is backed by the pray- ers of thousands of saddened de- pendents in a myriad of darkened |homes. America will bid her God- |speed in the delivery of her mess- age, either by word of mouth or through the medium of the screen where her husband once reigned as a king. “SON-IN-LAW” CANDI- DATE FOR PRESIDENCY The formal announcement is made that a boom has been started to make William Gibbs McAdoo the |Democratic nominee for the presi- |dency. Clubs will be organized, it is said, in all the states to boom the |former secretary of the treasury. McAdoo is a full-fledged American, }8 scholar, a gentleman, and a man |of ability. If he were president he | would be safe at all times and con- |servative. His great handicap and Jone which he may not overcome is the fact that he is a professiontl | politician, the son-in-law of form- Jer President Woodrow Wilson, and! would be regerded as the heir of those remarkable ‘Wilson ideals” of which we hear so much and know nothing. Mr, McAdoo has lived in many parts of America; he born in Marietta, Georgia, educated in Tennessee, lived for years in New} York and Washington, and now has| a residence in Los Angeles, Cal. If! he secures the delegates from all of those States he will have taken a long step toward the nomination. He headed the company that built} the first tunnel under the Hudson river and served for years as secre- tary of the treasury and was un- questionably the ablest man in the} Wilson cabinet. As we = said,) though, Mr. McAdoo is handicapped by his relationship to Mr. Wilson. Persons will think the son-in-law is a booster of the league of nations, and hence they will oppose him. On his own merits it is clear that Mr. McAdoo would make a first rate| was Cd ‘ HeY . epoie! DOoNCHA WISHT YH HAD weT @ Got! C'iMoN ovER AN? DLL LET OH WATCH ME eaT it!

Gifford met with a painful and near-serious accident while setting off fireworks at his home on west Broadway. Some grains of powder spilled from a can he had been using, making a trail over which the fire flashed back and caused an explo- sion. Mr. Gifford was badly burned about the face, hands and legs. If it had not been for his glasses his eyesight might have been destroyed.
