Sometimes it comes under the censure of some one who does not agres with what is going on Sometimes the Associated Press is accused of lending itself to propa ganda. Let's examine the merit of such a charge for a moment “A few weeks ago the Associated Press told the world that the United States Government was concerned over what it believed to be commun- {stic infiuences working from bases in Mexico and projecting their influence over into Nicaragua. This was the telebrated bolshevik hegemony story. Various publicists and newspapers which disagree with the Government's policy attacked the State Department and charged it with disseminating propaganda. “They are wholly entitled to dis- agree if they wish to, and to have their disagreement reported to the world, which the Associated Press faithfully did. At the same time va- rious other news agencies made some righteous public proclamations to the effect that they had declined to be misled into being used as part of the alleged propaganda. What they really did was to miss the opportunity to tell what was going on. Turned From Policy. “In due time the Secretary of State disclosed to the Senate foreign rela tions committee the information in his possessi The critics of the Gov- ernment’s policy contended that the premises disclosed were poor. The Associated Press, of course, reported all that. As a result of the whole business, those who attacked the Government’s policy now contend that the disclosures have caused the Gov- ernment to modify it, and that by reason of their attack the Govern- ‘which might have led to war. “Now, stripped of all the confusion of charge and counter charge, what does it all mean? It means that a great deal has happened that never _would have happened if the Asso- clated Press had failed to report what Wwas going on. Presume for the mo- sment that the Associated Press had failed in its duty. The American peo- ple wouldn’t have learned of the situ- ation otherwise. Other disseminators of news admit they didn't tell the public about it because they were de- clining to be used. Suppose the prem- ises were all wrong and that the | country had been carried into a war, ' which could have been averted had “public opinjon been appraised of the facts. Where would t responsi- bility rest? What pride could be felt by one who remained silent?” Indorses Building Plan. A resolution indorsing the plans of the Superintendent of Public Schools and of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia for the adminis- tration of the school system, particu- larly as regards the five year building program and the consequent neces- sary quota of teachers, was passed unanimously by the Twentieth Cen- tury Club. The resolution came as the result of investigations of school conditions conducted by a committee composed of the following: Mrs. Robert Howard, chairman: Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, Mrs. Albert H. Brooks, who introduced the resolution; Mrs. W. W. Husband, Mrs. Joshua Evans, jr., and Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith, president of the club. Various members of the club voiced their opinions in favor of the reinstatement of 74 teachers provided for in the five-year school bili before Congress. The resolution urged the early completion of a junior high school in Georgetown, and another in the so-called ““Reno road section” of the city. Copies of the resolution are being sent to the chairmen of the committees on appropriations of the Senate and the House FIFTY “OSTEOPATHS" CALLED IN PROBE | OF 3-DAY DIPLOMAS | (Continued from First Page.) the Osteopathic Association, this three- | day course was organized, and they | claim it actually was little more than a diploma sale, and that for a chiro- practic to learn osteopathy in thre days would be just as imposs for the same man to learn medicine in the same time No authority is required to practice osteopathy in Washington.

Failure thus far of American Gov- ernment peace overtures to strike a responsive cnord in China among the Peking and Cantonese war lords has served to turn attention here for the time being on developments looking to renewal of negotiations between the British and Cantonese nationalists at Hankow over concessions. Although the outcome of any new conversations between British Charge O'Malley and Eugene Chen, Cantonese foreign minister, would have little ef- fect on American-Chinese relations, because this country has no such con- cession problem to face, Chinese situa- tion observers here believe a clearing up of the British-Cantonese phase would advance greatly the prospects of further dealings in other peaceful directions. No Direct London Advices. The British embassy says the Lon- don government has not indicated any intention to change its policy as to sending large protective forces to Shanghai as a result of the Cantonese protest against such a move. London dispatches reporting new instructions as having been sent Charge O'Malley, however, indicate that some of these forces may be diverted to other points. ‘Washington Government officials were considerably relleved today over reports from Admiral C. W. Williarns, commanding the Asiatic fieet, declar- ing th® evacuation of American and British citizens from interior Chinese provinces was being carried out with- out a sign of disturbance. Twenty-four Americans and 52 Eng- lish, he reported, had joined a gen- eral exodus from Chung King, Szech- wan province, while many Japanese were preparing to leave Changsha, already evacuated by 12 Amerlcans and an unknown number of British women and children. The latter went to Hankow. Strike in Shanghai. A strike in a Chinese-owned cotton mill was described as the only dis- turbance interfering with a generally quiet situation at Shanghal, where British and American naval forces are concentrating. Agitators there, Ad- miral Williams said, apparently had been silenced by the arrival of a bat- talion of punjabs, British Indian sol- diers. While many American missionaries have abandopned their posts in inland China to be nearer ports of embarka- tion should the need arise for the de- parture from the, country, an an- nouncement made in Richmond, Va by Dr. F. J. Love of the Southern Baj tist convention said all missionaries of that church in China were main- taining their posts up to the time schools were closed for the new year holiday. The treasurer of the mission board at Shanghai has been advised, how- ever, to inform the missionaries to take no chances.

It is not only a question of $2,500,000,000 in- vested in China by British business men, but abdication of treaty rights, which is considered by those in close touch with the situation as a direct danger to the entire empire.

Soviet Blamed As Usual As usual the Soviet government is credited with the engineering of Far Eastern intrigues. The Russian government, though communistie, is following the old czarist policy re garding Great Britain and is doing its utmost to undermine the British in India_and in other Asiatic posses- sions. This policy was inaugurated in 1921, when Russia supported the Turks against the British, and present Chinese developments nothing else but a corollary of. the weakness shown by the British in handling the Turks. A high official told_the correspondent The congress at Baku in 1922 laid the foundation of Russia's Asiatic pel icy, when Zinoviev stated to the members that their Asiatic policy should be an awakening of national ism in that part of the world in order to free them from the English yoke. Russia has followed up this policy with remarkable consistency and the present events in China are nothing but a consequence of that policy. Agents have been spreading propa ganda throughout the country and fre- quently have pointed out to the Chinese leaders that determined efforts against the British will be as success- ful as Mustapha Kemal's.” Effect on India Seen. If the Britsih government goes too far in the line of concessions to Chi- nese nationalists the bolshevist agents, who are already active among the Indian nationalists, will exploit the British surrender to China for all it is worth, and while the situation in In- dia, where there are 70,000 white troops, is very much different than in China, the government should look forward to endless trouble there. “We are in a difficult position be- cause we are all alone in this game. The United States has no vital in- terest in China and Japan is follow ing its own policy, which is a desire to see all the white races out of China in order to be able to pursue unhandicapped its own policy there,” said the same informant. “We are unable to obtain Japanese co-operation now because the Tokio government wanted us to withdraw our promise to abide by the Washington decision regarding the surtaxes. We are con- sequently forced to send troops which we did not desire to send to the Far East. But if we bow now before the nationalist tide, as the circum stances seem to indicate, I do not know what will happen next year in India.” “BUD” FISHER'S WIFE GRANTED SEPARATION By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 3.—Harry C. (Bud) Fisher, cartoonist and race- horse owner, who fell in love at sea and got married at sea, was at sea when his wife was granted a separa- tion. Charles E. Kelley, counsel for the cartoonist, said Fisher was on his way abroad to procure some witnesses and requested_adjournment. “Probably,” was the ironical re- sponse of Charles H. Tuttle, attorney for Mrs. Fisher, the former Countess Aedita De Beaumont, “Fisher wants to call Mutt and Jeff to the stand.

Sena- tors supporting these lwo measures have formed an alliance to bring about votes on both, believing that through such an alliance they will be effected. Under the cloture rule of the Senate a two-thirds vote is re- quired to invoke the limitation of debate.

They have aske( that tobacco be included in the scop. of the bill as one of the basic farm commodities.

Copyright. 19 PARIS, February 3.—If Great Britain goes to war with China, it will go alone, according to opinion her “rench diplomatic circles are convinced that neither Japan nor the United States will actively in tervene.

This Haugen-McNary leaders, have’ been siven assurance that all but one or two members from that State will line up on the affirmative side. As a result of this agreement to place tobacco under the bill, it is also expected a few addi tional votes will be gained in Tennes- see, North Caroltna and Virginia. Leaders of the farm bloc in the House predicted these gains assured passage of the Haugen-McNary bill in that body, possibly without making the further concesslon of deferment of application of the equalization fee for a year on all farm products, as has been suggested. Last year the Hau- gen-McNary bill fell 45 votes short of a majority” in the House, but only a handful in the Senate, g The proposition of the tobacco £roup was made to Chairman Haugen and other farm bloc leaders by Repre- sentative David H. Kincheloe of Ken- tucky at a conference yesterday. The latter is a member of the House agri: cultural committee and bitterly op- posed the farm bill last session. Several days ago a convention repre- senting some 75,000 farmers of the Dark Tobacco Growers' Association | went on record for the Haugen MeNary bill, and officially asked to B acco included in its scope. Agree on Tobacco Clause. Upon the promise of votes from the tobacco _ districts for the entire Haugen-McNary plan, so it was said after the conference, farm bloc leaders agreed that Representative Kincheloe should offer u tobacco amendment from the floor, when the bill came up, and they would help to pass it. The shift of the tobacco groups probably marks the biggest single gain by the proponents of that form of farm legislation within the past two years. Hitherto, the tobacco co- operatives, among the largest in the ‘ountry, .have been torn with internal strife over whether to join in the Haugen-McNary movement or to stay out. The prevailing influence, with aron Shapiro, the co-operative ex- vert, largely guiding the course, has »een adverse to such legislation, urging that the co-operatives should stand on their own feet and in time he legislation would injure their or- sanizations. No agreement yet has been had on ‘otton. That still is the sticking point in the bill, and the legislative situa- don.

As evidence that the policy will re- main unchanged, Chancellor Marx called attention to the fact that both he and Foreign Minister Stresemann remained in the respective positions they held before, which they would not have done, he said, unless they had been assured by the other cabinet members of their unanimous personal support as well as the support of the parties standing back of the coali tion.
