Lloyd George Says —

AMERICA IS IN EUROPEAN ARENAAGAIN Believes Republican Party, if Returned to Power, Will See Dawes Report on Reparations Through— Thinks Democrats Safe, KNOWS NOTHING OF LA FOLLETTE’S POLICIES Declares Three Men Before U, S. Voters Are Better Known in Europe Than Either Mr, Cox or Mr, Harding Were, By DAVID LLOYD GEORGE Former British Premier (Copyright, 1924, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) LONDON, July 19 (by cable).— Every self-respecting democracy, like every self-respecting family, resents the interference of outsiders in the internal discussions by which it conducts its business. In writing of the outside view of the presidential campaifin in America, I will beathat In mind. But, although the stranger outside the gate must not meddle, he cannot pretend to be disinterested. To a certain extent, the personalities interest us. They are not compelling personalities of the bull moose type. Neither have they attracted the amount of anxious attention which Mr. Wilson had drawn to himself by the ime of his second candidature. But their fame has been broadcasted in audible tones across the wide Atlantic. The three are certainly better known in Europe than were Mr. Harding and Mr. Cox at the date of their nominations. Issues Dominate But it is not disparagement, however, to the personal position already achieved by the contestants to say that it is issues and not personalities which will dominate attention. It is for that cause that the coming presidential election will be watched (Turn to Page 7)

The -Buenos Aires newspapers point out that the censorship, which cut'pff all news from Brazil, has increased the apprehension of foreign interest and given rise to fears for the safety of foreign citizens.

In Illinois or Indiana? Nobody knows, not even Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. youthful millionaires' sons who confessed to the killing, the defense held?. And the foregoing is the reason , why the defense believes the boys [ will never hang for the crime, it j was exclusively revealed to the United Press today. To convict the youthful university; graduates to send them to the gal- j lows, the State must prove they; killed the Franks boy within the limits of Cook County, the defense! points out. This, the defense claims, j can never be proved. If the State fails to prove that j Franks was killed in Cook County, the case is no longer under the! jurisdiction of Chicago courts. And jf the case goes to another Illinois county or to an Indiana court, again it will be impossible for the prosecution to prove where Robert Franks met death, the defense claims. Leopold and Loeb, although making full confessions of their crime, at no time have told just whore their victim died, Clarence Darrow, chief defense counsel, told the United Press. Asa matter of fact, Darrow said, the defendants do not know just when and where the Franks boy died. No Witnesses There were no witnesses to the j murder.
