FATE OF FRANCE HANGS IN BAFANCE

HEFLIN CHARGES BIG INTERESTS’ TO REPUBLICANS Democratic Senator Tells Editors Harding Is Found Wanting in Test. By Felix F. Bruner Times Staff Correspondent VINCENNES, Ind., June 9.—An attack on President Harding and the Tnterests” was made by Senator Thomas Heflin of Alabama at the meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association hee this afternoon. Senator Heflin characterized the Harding administration as a failure. “Why was It this man who became president under such pleasing auspices was now losing so visibly and rapidly his hold on the confidence of his countrymen?” Heflin asked. “The answer Is found in the text of my speech, weighed In the balance and found wanting.” Heflin said the "interests” and the Republican party forced deflation with the resulting low price of agricultural products. “The battle is on," he said, "betwee nthose who believe In government of the people, by the people and for the people, and predatory Interests that look upon the government as an Instrumentality to be used to promote private fortunes at the expense of the public. The deflation policy was born of conspiracy between certain Republican leaders and Wall Street financiers.” Mrs. Thomas P. Flynn, vice chairman of the State committee, in a talk, said: “When the women wake up to the fact that their ballot all the conditions under which their families must live, then the woman vote will be the greatest asset the Democratic party has ever had.” Other speakers were Senator Ralston and Congressman A. H. Greenwood of the Second Indiana District. Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, Indianapolis, cablegramed the convention from London: “Greetings to editorial association. Best wishes for successful session.” A message was received from Gordell Hull, national chairman, declaring Democratic chances of success are good. Vincennes’ mighty battles was overrun with candidates, would-be candidates, possible candidates and impossible candidates. The Ralston for President movement was definitely under way so far as the editors are concerned, although the Senator and Thomas Taggart are discouraging the idea, feeling such action might create opposition. Raison was given a tremendous ovation Friday night when he walked down the aisie at the Pantheon Theater, 2,000 people standing to cheer him for several minutes. There was a well authenticated report here that Ralston has indorsed nomination of Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch of Indianapolis for Governor, vhlch was taken to mean that McCulloch is to be the organization man. There is Walter S. Chambers, State Senator, State chairman and editor Os the Newcastle Times. He is mentioned. Then there is Dale J. Crittenberger. State committeeman, former State auditor and editor of the Anderson Bulletin. He is mentioned frequently. Every train today brought more candidates. William H. O’Brien of Lawrenceburg is here. So is John McFadden of Rockport. Senator Charles Batt of Terre Haute is busy shaking hands Walter Myers of Indianapolis is right on the job. So is Dan Simms of Lafayette. A list of all the candidates would necessitate copying the hotel registers. George Purcell, editor of the Vincennes Sun and president of the Editorial Association, is acting as host.

France, on the other hand, is doomed forever if she but stumbles. With only 40,000.000 inhabitants and dwindling, she must hold on where she is or crumble. The false step on the part of her statesmen, and she will b egiven over to tourists interested in tho beautiful ruins of a great past. Poincare Is Grim Premier Poincare knows this and it makes him grim. Chancellor Cuno knows it, and it makes his stubborn. He is thinking Germany might even throw herself to the ground if in her fall she crushed France. France flattened out, Germany would rise, wipe off the blood, brush off the dust, and go on. Two things are necessary to France if she. is to keep going. First, she must have money or go bankrupt. Ruined by the war, she has borrowed and spent still more rebuilding what Ge many tore down. Second .she must be secured against another Prussian 1 ivaslon which, the chances are, would wipe her off the map. Right there is the difficulty. A strong Germany, which could pay, would be able, by a simple twist of the wrist, to convert itself into a Germany which could also fight And Germany, too weak to fight, would also most likely be too weak to pay. France’s job is to find a satisfactory compromise. Such a combination can oniv bo found in a strengthened League ot Nations or somi 'nternational agreement, qlso In a strong entente with BBritain and such ether allied powers as France can tally to her side. Would Wriggle Out France might go it alone f>r a time. She might even crush Germany temporarily, but Germany would wriggle out from under in the end nAd, In crushing Germany, France would add England across the .channel to her enemies across the Rhine. Germany’s new reparations offer may not be to Franco’s liking, but it should be made the means of reuniting her with England and the rest of her allies. Only side by side with her friends can France, In the long run, hope to come out on top. That Is the only way Germany can be made to ray adequately, and France obtain reasonable guarantees for her future safety at tho same time.
