Tracy An Idea Back Home Jeffersonian Greatness Egyptian Justice The World Is Small

By M. E. Tracy Addressing the United States Chamber of Commerce, Governor Ritchie of Maryland chose as his text the late President Harding's war cry—"more business in Government and less Government in busi ness.” He was less guilty of plagiarism, however, than such a bare statement would seem to imply. If he borrowed the idea from Harding, Harding in turn, borrowed it from Thomas Jefferson, and if it were used by the Republicans on one occasion, it is now back with the Democrats, where it originated and where it belongs. •I- -I- -IThe significance of Governor Ritchie's appearance and what he said lies in the fact that he is generally regarded as among the three or four men from whom the Democrats roust pick a presidential nominee in 1928. In this connection, it is interesting lo note that he favors less regulation. less centralized power, less Federal interferSXice, and that he favors thorn not only with regard to some pet scheme, or particular issue, as do most politicians, but right down the line. ”1 belong to the Jeffersonian school of Democracy,” he told the boys, “which believes that the Gov“rnment governs best which governs '.cast, provided it governs wisely,” Uord Macaulay said that he could never make himself believe Thomas Jefferson was a great man because of this very doctrine. He said that, though such a doctrine might work alright in a nation of scattered farmers, it would prove more and moree impracticable as manufacturing took the place of agriculture. He said that when America came to have her Manchesters and Birminghams as she surely would, the basic weakness of JefTerson's philosophy would be revealed. I know of nothing that better illustrates the difference between English and American viewpoints than the inability of this great essayist and historian to sense t/ie wisdom of this great statesman. I know of nothing that better explains our own peace and prosperity, compared to the mess England is now In, than the Jefferson ideal as opposed to the Macaulay ideal. We should be very grateful not only that we had a Jefferson to voice it, but for men like Governor Ritchie 10 reiterate, it. •I* •!• -I* Speaking of Governors, Mrs. Folk won her suit against the Egyptian nationalist party yesterday.

He was to receive a salary of $5,000 a month and a straight fee of SIOO,OOO In each case, if he had to appear before the League of Nations, if he had to undertake a campaign of propaganda, if independence were achieved, etc. He did a great deal of work, but received only $5,000 all told, though lie remained in the employ of the Egyptian nationalist party for eigh teen months. After his death, Mrs. Folk brought suit to recover what was due him, and yesterday she was given a verdict of $55,000 by an Egyptian court. •!• •!• -IThe world grows Intimate as it grows small, and a little more considerate all the while. Nine expeditions start for the pole: an American wins and a Norwegian rival kisses him. One hundred years ago that would hardly have been possible. One hundred years ago the Egyptians would hardly have been hiring an American lawyer to help them win independence, and if they had his widow would hardly have gotten anything out of it, unless he had collected while he lived. One hundred years ago the king of the Congo would hardly have gone to Brussels to have his leg cut off, and if he had a Belgian court would hardly have forced the surgeons to give it to him so that he might carry it home. Yes, that, too, happened yesterday, and the black face of the king of the Congo is wreathed in smiles. Thanks to twentieth century ideas he cannot only have his diseased leg cut off by skilled doctors, but he can tuck it under his arm and take it back home, whether to eat, as some suggest, or to place witli the sacred relics of his fathers, as is more probable.

BRITISH MINERS BALK PEACE TERMS DESPITE END OF GENERAL STRIKE

LONDON MAD WITH JOY AS CRISIS ENDS Women Weep, Men Dance, Shout ‘War Is Over'— Baldwin Cheered. fill l nilrd Press LONDON, May 12. —Scenes of uproarious joy accompanied the news of the end of the general strike in London's streets today. Along the Strand, which is comparable to New York's Broadway, women wept for joy and men danced. The strikers joined in the celebration. The news everywhere was greeted with cheers. Commons Roars The good news set the House of Commons to roaring cheers as soon as iit convened at 3 p. fit. The members rose and shouted for Baldwin for five minutes. Unofficial couriers legging it down the Victoria embankment toward Blaekfriars Bridge, across Westminster bridge to South London and down Whitehall toward Trafalgar Square and the Strand, first started the news of peace circulating through London. Downing Street had been blocked off by police when the peace conference began. Suddenly the doors opened and newspaper men rushed <*”t with the word that the strike was: off. There were a, few excited cheers and then the crowd scattered in all directions, eager to pass on the tidings. Streets Thronged Tens of thousands of mimeographed newspapers \vere bought by the excited crowds. The streets filled rapidly as the news spread, each newcomer seeking the latest information from those about him. Stale newspapers sold as souvenirs of the troublous, times for as much as 25 cents each. "The war's over,” the crowds shouted as they exchanged congratulations on the end of the industrial struggle. Radio bulletins announcing the end of the strike attracted tremendous crowds in front of many shops. Traffic was blocked as strike-tpaary Londoners shoved into the crowds which were reading the notices. Alert newsboys sold many papers in the streets to- as milch as they could get, taking care to run away before the purchasers discovered the papers contained no news of the peace.

NORGE SOARS OVER POLE; ALASKA NEXT Dirigible, First Ship of Kind to Soar Over Top of World Headed for Nome.

Bu United Pres* OSLO, May 12. —The Amundsen-Ellsworth-Nobile polar dirigible Norge is proceeding excellently, according to reports received here tlds afternoon. These reports said the dirigible posibly would land tonight at Nome, Alaska. Messages received here indicated that the fog which the Norge encountered in the vicinity of the Pole was sufficient to make observations difficult. U. S. Flag- Dropped As the dirigible passed the Pole, these messages said, the American, Italian and Norwegian flags were dropped overboard. Fog prevented close search for the American Hag which Commander Byrd dropped a few days ago when he flew to the pole in his airplane. Up to the time the pole was passed no land has been sighted—only a vast expanse of polar ice, according to the advices reaching here. From there today the Norge is believed to be proceeding westward, flying over a region heretofore unexplored ‘and in which Amundsen and his companions hope to find land, if any exists, in the region of the pole. Left Tuesday The history-making flight started at 10 a .rn. Tuesday when the Norge cast off from her moorings at King's Bay, where it had flown from Rome. The ship sailed away to the north while the populace of King's Bay cheered and the orchestra of the Norwegian steamship lleimdal played the Norwegian national anthem, in honor of Amundsen. Then began the romance of the trip. It was the airship, one of the most advanced developments of twentieth century transportation plawing through regions which have been unknown to man sines history hegun. Radio Used With the ship went the radio, the most advanced development of Twentieth Century communication—to keep the world informed of the progress of the flight. It was the first time in history of Polar exploration that an expedition had been able to keep its base and its homeland informed of its progress. Commander Byrd and Floyd Bennett, his pilot, who only a few days

Coal Workers Declare Trade Unions Acted on Own Responsibility. NEGOTIATIONS EXPECTED - Subsidy Will Be Renewed, Government Agrees. Du I nited Pr.ss LONDON', May 12. —The miners’ executive this afternoon rejected the trades union council's proposals I for a solution of the coal miners dispute. They explained that in calling off the general strike, the trades union council took sole responsibility. Withdrawal of tlie general strike order was announced after a meeting at Premier Baldwin's residence, 10 Downing ,St.. between members of the Government and representatives of the trades union council. A. ,1. Cook, secretary of the miners' federation, .- ion afterward told tlie United Press that the coal strike would continue. It is presumed that negotiations to end the coal strike will begin at once. "There is no change in th“ situation as far as we are concerned,” Cook said. “There will be no resumption of work by the miners until a delegate conference has been called. ' Baldwin Cheered Premier Baldwin announced in the House of Commons at 2:20 p. m. that negotiations to settle the dispute in the coal industry would be resumed immediately. The members punctuated the speech with cheers. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of York again were in the gallery. Philip Snowden and Ramsay McDonald, iaborites, and Sir John Simon, liberal loader, did not cheer Baldwin with any great enthusiasm. They said the victory was one of common sense for the whole people. Cook today summoned miners delegations from all parts of the country are to meet in London, Friday, to decide whether the coal strike shall continue beyond that day. It was a dramatic announcement that came to the waiting crowd shortly after 1 p, m.. that , today would see a close of the labor difficulties. Arthur Pugh, president of the trades union congress, told Premier Baldwin that the strike would end today afid this announcement was forwarded to the group outside.

ago made history by flying their Fokker plane to the pole—the first time an airplane had made such a trip and the second time in history the pole had been reached —escorted the Norge in the plane away from Kin's Bay and then returned to await with th erest of the world the news of the expedition. it was a far cry from the message received in a matter of minutes after the pole had been reached to the weeks it required in 1909 before the world heard that Admiral Robert Peary had made his perilous trip to the pole in slow moving dog sleds. Dispatches here indicated that the Norge was making an average speed of 107 kilometers, or approximately sixty-five miles per hours about the time the pole was passed. (Peary made thirty miles a day with his dog sleds in his famous dash with Matt Henson, negro companion, to the pole.) WALB RE-ELECTED G. 0. P.CHAIRIWAN State Convention Plans Topic of Republicans.

German Scheme Traced to Kaiser 81l 1 nited Press BERLIN, May 12.—The cabinet of Chancellor Hans Luther of Germany resigned today after the Reichstag had voted a lack of confidence in his administration. President Von Hindenburg accepted the cabinet's resignation. The no confidence motion carried in the Reichstag by a vot eof 176 to 146 with 103 abstaining. Thereafter by a i-ising vote the Reichstag approved President Von Hindenburg's proposal to create a uniform national flag. Socialists and communists opposed the proposal. After passing the vote of lack of confidence, the Reichstag adjourned until Friday. The Prussian state government this afternoon outlined the Fascist conspiracy alleged directed toward a putsch. After Chancellor Luther's resignation, according to the statement, Hindenburg was to have appointed a cabinet of ‘'experts” which would have failed to obtain the Relchestag'S. confidence. Then the Reichstag would have been dissolved and power turned over to the army and "fatherlandish” or extreme nationalist organizations. The police alleged that a raid last night on headquarters of alleged conspirators disclosed a thread of conspiracy leading to Doom, where the former kaiser has found refuge since ho fled Germany during the closing days of the war. It was ascertained that Judge Heinrich Class, one of the principals in the conspiracy, had corresponded with the kaiser and with President Von Hindenburg's son regarding the dictatorship scheme. Asa result of the conspiracy police guards at buildings were maintained at emergency strength.
