WILL OPPOSE SMITH The York Gazette and Daily, Demo- ..cratic Organ, Decides Not to Sup- port Party’'s Nominece. York, Pa. July 18 (UP)—The York Gazette and Daily, democratic newspaper will openly oppose the candidacy of Governor Alfred E Smith, of New York, for the presi- | |dency. | J. W. Gitt, who was an anti- Smith delegate to the Houston con- vention is editor of the paper. The Gazette and Daily’s statement of its desertion of the democratic \party during a presidential cam- | paign says: “In our opinion any democrat can vote against Governor Smith with- out in the least impairing his party regularity.

This attack says: “Chairman Raskob has announced in no unmistakable terms his posi- tion on the prohibition question. He is dripping wet. The only rea- son he was willing to accept the post of democratic national chairman was because in his opinion it gave him a chance to get rid of pro- hibition."” BRITAIN IS WILLING Ready to Examine Any Proposal For a Scttlement of All of Ger- many’s Debt.

Under the Dawes plan, it is stip- ulated merely that Germany shall pay annual instalments of repara- |tions for an indefinite period of time.
