Jerice on THE FINAL ANSWER Donald McDonald, the new pro hibition the democrats at luncheon, according | fi We give one y he picked the director sddrensed nothing whatever to do with either league or treaty. And it is generally recognized that any kind of a cheap politician can promise to keep party pledges for or against the treaty without knowing or caring a tinker’s cuss about these issues. The worst thing that could happen to this country would be to have our next president elected solely on the question of a foreign treaty. There exists today a dangerous and disgraceful deadlock that is the most depressing element in the nation’s affairs. {| very well, we won't may anything There is only one decent and clean-handed way for mpent the eereeo the deadlock to be broken: THIS 18 THRIFT DAY With the treaty issue hanging. in the air, the Amer- democrats at tur ican people continue to turn their pockets inside out _ for profiteers; our foreign relations are ina deplorable | muddle; and world trade and prosperity hopes fade. The president and the senate are as far as ever from acompromise. The country is disgusted. The big talk in Washington today is for carrying this issue over into the presidential elections. Appar- ently that is what party managers are pulling for. - But the idea will never get by with the people. In the first place, many months lie between now and ‘election day. Actual inauguration of a new president is one year and almost two months distant. In the second place, even a new president does not v any means guarantee a solution. He himself may for or against the treaty as much as he pleases. ‘But without 64 senators solidly behind him, he will be ' as helpless as Wilson today. t Finally, and most important of all, there are crying domestic issues to be dealt with this fall that have Hogs Quiet and Cows a market page bition showing Mra, Joe Wad a ned her 85 Bouth children Ob woman, enter and grandchildren at a party 1T WON'T TAKES THAT LONG!!! oo Janke ae unin thelr vaults This is for the senate, co-operating with the rest of worlen ror what, pray? congress, and the president, to put the problem square- pennies, ly up to the people for a distinct and separate refer- wart agg endum vote. eS ee That course is practical. it were he| E> It would secure a popular mandate clear-up on this | gon gE question.
