Show i THE CITIZEN French exchange and this could bring about the collapse of the Belgian government. In that event the new Belgian regime would undoubtedly be socialistic and a socialistic representative on the Reparations Commission would destroy French control. Then there certainly would be a positive and dramatic change in French dominance if European affairs. This should be even more effective than the American support which Premier Herriot has bee nrelying upon. JAPANESE SEE POINT 5 the world with platinum. The navigable rivers are the greatest on earth. The Obe river with its tributaries can furnish navigation for a distance of 16,869 miles, and the Yenisei adds another 11,808 miles. The Amur river is navigable for a distance of 8,541 miles, and with its tributaries the navigable waters are extended to over 20,000 miles. The Lena river adds another 6,864 miles of boat water. A great portion of Siberia has a temperate climate and affords great opportunities for agricultural development. In fact, Siberia could easily supply the world with food. England has opened up trade relations with Russia and the two nations are now friendly. What is the real reason that this country is standing on the outside of the fence looking in? The Japanese Chronicle, which seems to be somewhat envious of American prosperity, in a recent editorial says the growth of the silk industry in America is due largely, to protection. We admit it. What is the cause of the great criminal wave sweeping the The Chroncle continues: Of late years the United States, which ? used to import large quantities of manufactured cotton from the country Everybody is getting mean and the Christian spirit is fast dismanuwho had the taken the raw has cotton, bought up comers, facture of cotton and now makes up the greater part of the cotton appearing. What possessed Miss Dama Kelly, daughter of Senator George We admit that, too. What used to happen was under produced. Don Banks the old Democratic tariff policy when they preferred to sell two J. Kelly, a school teacher, to boldly pick up bales of cotton to England and have one made up into goods and and throw him into the Weber river? Is she crazy or just imbued with a spirit of hatred against mansent back here free of duty, to having both bales made up here with the cotton textile industry adequately protected.

The boy nearly lost his life and Miss Kelly should be held achave not fully recovered from that idea even at the present time! but the American textile manufacturers have, North and South, and countable for the fiendish deed. the Chronicle appears to appreciate the way protection works out in practice. Further examination of the constitutional provisions to be Free Airplane Fireworks! in- voked in case the Electoral College fails to elect a presidentt has revealed that ,as the House now stands, such failure would be attended with grave peril. Failure of the Electoral College to give a majority to any candidate would send the election to the House. There the members vote by states and as there are 48 states, 25 would be required for a majority. As the House stands, and it is the present House that would have to act, there would be 23 Republican votes, 20 Democratic, and 5 La Follette votes. This would mean a deadlock, for no one can imagine La Follette releasing his supporters to vote for either Coolidge or Davis, and the constitution limits the choice of the House to the three highest candidates in the Electoral College, which, of course, would be the candidates named. If the House has not elected by March 4, the constitution provides that the and he shall be Senate shall make the choice of a president, but its choice is limited to the two candidates who have received the highest votes in the Electoral College, who would be, of course, Dawes and Bryan. Who would be chief executive while the Senate was making its choice is a question. Some think Secretary Hughes. Others contend that he cannot hold over his term. All of this means chaos and confusion worse confounded. vice-preside- The most startling daredevil antics in the sky ever attempted by any trick flier.
