Charging that European nations were manifesting ill favor toward the United States on account of war debt collections, Mr. Allen told the insti- tute last night that this was based on & lack of understandin of the “‘gener- ous attitude of this country.” i “People of France, England and Germany know as little about what | we've really done as the people of the !

Parties’ Value Outlined. Political parties, the speaker said, serve useful purposes, which he out lined as follows: To outline public policies; to educate the voter as to these policies; to formulate into law proper policies and wisely administer such laws in the interest of justice and equity, and, as checks and balances are most important among human heings, a politie: out of power should the right of in power, ind_thus endeavor to to it that | sic principles of government are | nterpreted and conformed fb. Unintelligent political vision and planning, the magnitude and complex- itv of problems now demanding solu- WEDNESDAY, tion and the multiplicity of voting | were cited by waning political control and indiffer- | ence on the part of the voter. To cor- rect this situation old party methods are ineffective, he sald, pointing out | that the ratio of the eligible vote to| the actual had declined 50 per cent in the last 50 years notwithstanding that women vote.
