BY FREDERiC WILLIAM WILE Calvin Coolldge's closest friends and political assoctates are convinced he will not be stampeded Into any stand-up and knock-down fight for the presidential nomination.

They are confident he WIIl not “react” to contrary pressure, no matter how much of It 15 brought to bear, Mr. Coolidge’s friends are inclined to discern the hands of Hiram John- 8On's: supporters in preseat-hour at- tempts to' coerce the president into declaring himself, ‘What the Germans during the war called “Schrecklich- kel —trightfulness—is already being 1nfoked to scare Mr. Coolidge into ac- rn. From the midwest, thus, come olorous tidings as to the meteoric Progress of the Johnson boom--pro- ®ress destined, runs the tale, to sweep Mr. Coolldge off his feel if hc does not promptly move to cherk it. One of the President’s most trusted lleutenants, consulted by this writer, calls attention to the public manifes- to issyed by Calvin Coolidge early in 1920, while governor of Massachu- setts. It was Issued to put a stop to the organized efforts of his friends to boom him for the republican nom- ination for the presidency. “If you Wwill substitute the words 'President of the United States’ for ‘Governor of ssachusetts’ in this statement,” said the authority quoted, “you will ®et an accurate idea of Calvin Cool- idge’s emotions toward events of the moment." Had Headquarters Here. The Coolidge manifesto, put forth after his intimate friends, headed by Frank W. Stearns, had opened head- Quarters at Washington, engaged James B. Reynolds, former secretary of the republican national committee, as campalgn manager, and otherwise aunched the Coolidge boom, read as followe:: “The times require of men charged With public responsibility a singleness of purpose. The curse of the present is the almost universal grasping for Power in high places and in low, to the exclusion of the discharge of obligatiof It is always well for men to walk humbly. “The great office of governor of the commonwealth of Massachusetts has twice been conferred upon me.

In a withering comment on “Senator Johnson and His Fight.” the editor of the Argonaut, Alfred Holman, writes: “Word comes from Washington that Mr. Johnson has ‘challenged’ Presi- dent Coolidge to ‘comé into the open’ and enter into “a: ‘stralghtforward fight.' It is further declared-in the same dispatch that Mr, Johnson will ‘make a figth' in various other states. Men and brethren, is this the spirit or the manner in which can- didacy for the presidency of the nited States should be offered and urged?

By Radio to The Star and Chicag> Dally News, Copyright, 1923. BERLIN, December 1.—Negotiations over the fate of the Rhineland, which ihave been going on feverishly for weeks in Coblenz and Berlin, are expected to come to a head next week In a meeting {of a body of notables at Cologne for the purpose of appointing a directory, or executive, committee, to take over the functions of government in ‘“West- mark."” . Such action means official German record of separatism. There are three parties to the fateful negotiations—the French, Rhinelanders and Berliners— the Rhinelanders consisting mostly of Cologne citizens because loyalist lead- elsewhere have been expelled en masse by France and Belgium. Theoretically, the British, Balgians and Italians should also have a voice therein, on account of thelr participation in the interallied Rhineland high commission, but_prac- tically It seems to be only the French influence which counts. Demands of France. When the Rhinelanders come to Coblenz to negotiate they see only Paul Tirard, the French president of the interallled commission, and never the {other delegates, the correspondent 1s On the hasis of edifying activities already undertaken by Dorten, Ma thes and company, France demands the creation of an autonomous Rhine- |land state within or without the bor- jders of the reich on the following drastic conditions: One, the creation of a separate currency system: two, the nomination of Rhenish diplomatic agents in entente capitals; three, the exclusion of Rhenish deputles from the reichstag (but inclusion in the reichsrat); four, the formation of an international holding company to ad- minister the Rhenish rallways, and | five, mairtenance of French garrisons {for an indefinite period. These conditions have been subjcct ed to a thorough debate within th last ten days in Berlin between the oft-mentioned committee of fiftesn 2nd the federal German government. Too drastic for acceptance by tnc reich under the terms of the Weimar { constitution, they were passsd on to the Rhinelanders themseives for a dectsion. Cologne as Capital. Attempts doubtless will be made to establish Cologne rather than Cob- lenz as the capital of the new state | (in contradiction to French wishes), because freedom of speech exists only in the British zone; otherwise the Rhenish leaders apparently will be forced to accept integrally inost of the French terms as above stated. |, Negotiations aiready are weli ad- vanced at Bonn for the foundation of a special Rhineland specie bauk. Practically everybody of note admits that some form of separatism muet come. “Pressure from within and without has grown too strong for us to bear,” said a member of the committee of {fifteen to the writer today. “Deserted by the reich and threatened with economic ruin and political persecu- tion by the French, we are forced to consider a change of some_sort. Un- employment is worse in Westmark than in any other part of Germany. {Industry is dead, and starvation is imminent. Exile, prison sentences and other forms of punishment have broken the spirit of the people. Free- dom of the press has ceased to exiet. “Adventures with French backing are threatening to expel 60,000 people from the palatinate. It is impossible to imagine the extent to which per- plexity and despair have gone In some parts of the Rhineland. The body of notables scheduled to meet next week will be composed of prom- inent personalities from all walks of life, not exclusively politiclans, and may be considered as the forerunner of the fatura Rhenish parllament, though it cannot be recognized as such in public. Painful preliminaries of this kind are always velled in obscurity.” BROTHERS ARE ARRESTED IN MARYLAND MURDER Believed to Have Shot Man and Then Ran Auto Over Embankment.

Burwell Property in Clarke County Changes Hands. Special Dispatch to The Star. WINCHESTER, Va., December 1— Clay Hill farm, the old colonial Home of the Burwells, situated near White Post, Clarke county, has been sold by Hugh Hughes of Dallas, Tex., to George H. Burwell, jr., great-grand- son of the original owner. The prop. erty contains 262 acres, and the con- sideration was $28,000. Prof. Willlam Whiting for’ many years conducted Clay Hill Academy on the place, the school being attended by many youths who since have be- come leading citizens in their respec- tive cities, and towns, some of them being also high in government circles. THE MARX WILL FACE REICHSTAG TEST Introduction of “No Confi- dence” Votes by Two Par- ties Expected. By the Associated Press. . BERLIN, December 1.—The new cabinet under Dr. Wilhelm Marx as chancellor, completed last night, is likely to be subjected shortly to a test before the reichstag. That body probably will meet Tuesday and it is expected the government will im- medlately face the introduction by the communlists and perhaps also by the soclalists of “no confidence” votes, according to the parliamentary forecast of the Lokal Anzelger to- day. This newspaper observes that the Marx cabinet is as much like the Stresemann ministry one egg is like another and finds it difficult to understand why a whole week was wasted {n what it calls “useless tur- moll” over the evolution of such a government as now has been con- stituted. The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, organ of Hugo Stinn takes much the same view, declaring Dr. Stresemann might as well have remained chancellor. This newspa- per thinks the inclusion of two more Bavarians—Herr Hamm and Dr. Em- minger—will have little effect in bridging the differences between Munich _and Berlin, while the so- clalist Vorwaerts fears that their presence in the cabinet may actually endanger the cabinet's position. The organs of the right, appar- ently seeing the pendulum swinging their way, refrain from adverse com- ment on the new ministry. Even Vorwaerts concedes that the future lles with the attitude of the na- tionallsts. FORM RHENISH CABINET. All Appointments Are Made With Tacit Consent of Tirard. BY WILLIAM E. NASH. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1923. BERLIN, December 1.-—-Three mem- bers of the Rhenish directory, which will take over direction of the govern- ment of “westmark,” were chosen by the “committee of fifteen” at Cologne on Friday, according to advices re- celved by the writer today. The three are Mayor Adenauer of Cologne, Louls Hagen, a C>logne banker, and Johannes Merfeld, a soclalist reichstag deputy, also of Cologne. The directory will be enlarged by three other Rhineland Germans ap- pointed by Paul Tirard, head of the interallled ~Rhineland ' commission, whereupon it will immediately begin functioning as a sort of provisional government, while the commission of fifty-six, also completed - this week, will serve as a sort of provisionai parliament. These steps are said to have been taken with full agreement of M. Tirard, as well as the tacit agreement of the German government. _Although changes and delays may occur, {t may safely be sald that the new Rhenish fove"émem now has been effectually ‘ormed. INCREASED SCHOOL TAXES PROPOSED Virginia Teachers Will Pro- mote Campaign for Better Education. RICHMOND, Va., December 1 (Spe- clal).—Teachers of the state are to launch a program for an increase of taxes for the benefit of the public schools and for the higher educa- tional institutions. They have adopt- ed a resolution asking the legislature to provide for a vote by the people on the subject of increasing the as- sessment for education by 11 cents on the $100 on all classes of property, making that direct tax 25 cents. The educational association, embracing the teachers and heads of all the leading schools and colleges in Vir- ginla, supported this proposition. The assoclation also wants the compulsory educational law made mandatory instead of optional, so| that the youth of the state may be/ given at least the basic foundation for an education instead of being placed in the factories and workshops to support idle fathers In many in- stances. ‘To further carry out the movement in which the educators are interest- ed they also went on record as fa- voring the assessment of property on | an equitable basis, whereby the rev- enues would be increased several mil- lions of dollars and where the rural schools, instead of being operated for thres to seven months in the year, would be open for the full time of nine months. ‘The sessions of the association this year have been -attended by more teachers than at any previous time, and there has been a greater y of subjects considered, many of tWem relating to increased pay for the pro- fessional teachers.

Though victors, wa have sought neither territory nor general reparations. Our peopie have borne Hielr ‘own burdens ‘and in large part we are bearing the burdens of others. “We are not sesking to dictate to Europe or to deprive anyone of rights. But we do desire peace and economic recuperation in Europe. Secks Relgn of Peace. “We contributed our arms in the in- terest of liberty and to destroy the menace of an autocratic power, but not to secure the economic prostra- tion of a vanquished people. We have the deepest sympathy with the peo- ple of France: we warmly cherish their ancient friendship. We desire to see France prosperous and secur: with her wounds healed and her § demands_ satisfied. We desire to see a united and prosperous many. with & will to peace, making amends to the full extent of her power and obtaining the appropriste rewards ot her labor and ekill. We wish to see an end to the waste of military ef- forts and the eaging of the burdens of unproductive expenditure We to see the fires of hatred uenched. 9Tt Is because of these earnest de- sires that we have hoped, as was stated in the recent communication to the British government, that the so- lution of the present grave problems would be sought in fair and compre- hensive inquiry in which all inter- ested might participate and which would be inspired by the determina- tion to find means to restore the pro- ductive activities through which alone reparations can be paid, and to give opportunity for the reasonable con- tentment and amicable relations of industrious peoples, through which alone peace and security can be as- sured. “The bitter controversy which fol- lowed the war showed with what tenacity we still hold to the prin- ciple of not meddling In t po- litical strife of Europe. It is true that the spread of democratic ldeas and the resulting change in govern- ments have removed the danger of organized effort to extend to this continent the European ‘political system’ of 100 years ago. But Eu- rope still has ‘a set of nrlm.rfi in- terests’ which are not ours. Unity in war did not avail to change the | aivergent national aims and policies in peace.

We refuse to commit ourselves in ad- vance with respect to the employ- ment of the power of the United States in unkown contingencles. We reserve our judgment to act upon occasion as our senke of duty per- mits. We are opposed to discr: tions against our nationsls.

It is our urpose to co-operate in those varied Rumufluflnn eftorts which aim to minimize or prevent those evils which can be met adequately only by_community of action. “In short, our co-operation as an independent state in the furtherance of the aims of peace and justice has alw been and stlll is a distinctive ure of ourdwllcy. “There ls plainly no inconsistency between these policies and tha Mon- roe doctrine, Our position as a world power has not affected it. The question is whether that doctrine is still important under changed con- ditions. The answer must be in the affirmative. Policles Are Outlimed. So far as the Pacific and far east were concerned, Mr. Hughes said, the United States had developed “the policies of (1) the open door, (2) the maintenance of the integrity of China, (3) co-operation with other powers in the declaration of common principles, (4) co-operation with other powers by conference and consulta- tlon in the interests of peace, (5) limitation of naval armament and (6) the Limitation of fortifications and naval bases.” He declared all these, also, were entirely consistent with the policy of Monroe. The nine “affirmative policles” of the United States enumerated by the Becretary as a “fitting complement” to the Monroe doctrine were: First—“We recognize the equality of the American republics and thefr equal rights under the law of nation: Second—"We have mno policy of aggression; we do not support ag- gression by others; we are opposed to aggression by ‘any one of the Latin . American republics upon any othe; Third—"States have duties as well as rights. * * ¢ Among these ob- ligations is the duty of each state to respect the rights of citizens of other states which have been ac- quitted within its jurisdiction in ac- cordance with its laws. A confisc tory policy ® * * strikes at the foundations of international inter- course.” Seek Only to Ald. Fourth—“It i3 the policy of this government to make available its friendly aseistance to promote stabil- ity In those of our sister republics which are especially affiicted with dis- turbed conditions involving their own peace and that of their neighbors. ® * * We are not alming at control, but.endeavoring to establish self-con- trol. We are not seeking to add to our territory or to impose our rule upon other peoples.” Fifth— “With respect to the Latin American republics, it is our policy not only to seek to adjust any differ- ences that may arise In our own in- tercourse, but ® * ¢ to extend our good offices to the end that any controversy they may have with each other may be amicably composed.” Sixth—“This government has sought to encourage the making of agree- ments ‘for the limitation of arma- ment. Seventh—*The policies which have been described are not to secure peace as an end In itself, but * * * to open the way to & mutually helpful co- operation importance to the United States,” ag follows: “We have established a watefwa¥j between the Atlantic and Pacifio oceans— the Panama canal. Apark from obviovs commercial considera- tions, the adequate protection of this canai—its complete Immunity froni any adverse control—is essential 1o our peace and security. We intend in all circumstances to safeguard the Panama canal. We could not afford to take any.different position with respect to ny other waterway that may be built between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. Disturbances in the Caribbean region are there- fore of special interest to us not for the purpose of seeking control over others but of being assured that our own safety is free from menace. “With respect to Cuba, we have the special interests arising from our treaty and our part in the securing of her independence. It s our desire to see her independence not weak-- ened but safeguarded and her stabil-, ity and prosperity assured. Our’ friendly advice and ald are always available to that end.” APPROVED IN LONDON. Times Declares Monroe Doctrine’ Has Been Justified.
