COUNTY

U.S. MUSI COOPERATE WITH BRITAIN

Declares That This is The Only Salvation For The World Editor's Note: David Lloyd George former prem'er of England and the world's most spectacular figure. In an exclusive interview with the International News Service the first since his resignation declared that the good will and co-operation of America and Great Britain Is the only salvation for the- world. The statement was a message to "Lincoln's common people." The former premier appealed for American participation In ths League of Nations, saying- that changes would be made if the United States could be Induced to enter. The famous Welsh statesman, while pursuing the strenuous campaign tactics of the late Theodore Roosevelt, intimated that his Ideal Is Abraham Lincoln. With the eyes of the world upon the British political campaign a war between liberalism and toryism this Interview takes on the Importance of a historic document. By F. A. WRAT (Copyright 1923 by International News Service.) GLASGOW, Scotland, Oct. 2S "My message to Lincoln's 'common people,' who are now in the wilderness at' this juncture of the world's history, is: Work on, hope on, unfalteringly, unswervingly, and we shall win through to the promised land." This statement was made to International News Service exclusively by former Premier David Lloyd George In the private salon car of hia campaign train as it was rushing towards Glasgow, where he wi'4 carry on his flgbt to rc-wln his lost laurels. (Mr. Lloyd George's opponent, A. Bonar Law, was nominated for parliament on the Tory ticket at Glasgow two days ago.) The former premier's car was bedecked with Hewers which had been showered upon him by admirers as the train was speeding northward through the rolling hills in triumphal progress. Mr. Lloyd George has constantly been making speeches to enthusiastic crowds at every station. He has appeared upon the platform Jovial and smiling to wave greetings to the villagers as the train passed through villages and hamlets. The former premier seemed tired when he received the correspondent after a short but nergatic speech. He still seemed tired as he began the Interview, but his eye lighted up and he seemed to be revitalised at the mention of Lincoln's name. After an introductory word or two Mr. Lloyd George exclaimed emphatically: "To secure the best happiness of the world and a happy Issue out of our afflictions, co-operation between Great Britain and America is essential to insure the world's peace. "I am reluctant to say anything regarding the best specific for Prrnanent maintenance of AngloAmerican good will, fearing that my words might possibly be misunderstood or misinterpreted. "But I insist that th closest good win between the two nations Is the only salvation for the world If we are going to be spared awful calamities like those of the past eight years. "Great Britain and America are the only two countries that are able to gaze at the outside world from an outside viewpoint. They are both detached; both are able to take an International view, perhaps America better than ourselves. "In ideals, in permanent trend of thoueht they (Great Britain and the United States) walk the same path. Their Joint action alone can preserve the world's eternal peace. Both nations hate war equally. "Because of this common aim and common understanding, I would give almost anything to induce America to enter the League of Nations. Until this convs to pass the league can never attain its real strength and function at the highest or exercise Its proper authority. "Because oi this, I would say to America with all sincerity and all the earnestness I pos-sess: If you have any doubts or suspicions regarding the League of Nations, tell us eo we will try to dispel them. If you desire information or have missconceptions we will to satisfy you.' "If you would prefer the term 'Association of Nations' instead of 'League of Nations' thejj let us change the name. "I beg America to throw the great weight of her moral influence side by side with the league. Only thereby can the v.-orld be made safe." Asked when he was going to the United States, the former premier replied: "It has always been one of the ambitions of my life, but I cannot look ahead. One reason why 1 want to go Is because I am a democrat not in the party sense but in the literal meaning of the word. "I have always thought that I understood Americans. When meeting them I gt their viewpoint naturally and they seem to set mine. It would be a joy for me to pay a long visit to the United States.'" Albert J.

Slunip in Revenues Disclosed Today by Estimates of ' Budget Officers j By, W. H. ATKINS ; (STAFF COn RESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE ! WASHINGTON. Oct. 28 A gov- ; emment deficit of nearly $1,000,000.000 next fiscal year confronts th , administration, it was disclosed to- j day by estimates of budget officers. ' The president and his advisers art ' said to be considering recommend- ; ing new tax proposals to congress When the sppropriation bills fo, the next year go to congress in December, a wide gulf between receipts of the treasury will bp fa less than was shown by earlier csimates. This is due to the slump !' revenues from all principal sources : Income and profits taxes show tho argest decrease. Taxes from this ' source now are running $300,000,100 ' behind last year. Miscelaneous rev. j enues are running 5120, 000. COO be- I low last year's figures. Expected i revenues from government security j sales and from disposition of sur- ! plus war property have fallen bclo-.v ' estimates. I Although no agreement upon new : tax legislation has been definitely reached, it is understood the administration is weighing the question of deriving more revenue from sales of luxuries There &s no thought of urging any increase in the present scale of income tax-s. ; Treasury tax experts are to be called together early next month to help solve the problem. 1 From the reports of departmeni heads. It aDDears that arovernment i pehsonnel is back near peace time strength, and operating expenses for the various bureaus have been cut to the bone. It is not thought possible to reduce them much more without crippling efficiency, and warning against this has been given the budget bureau. In some instances, department chiefs assert, economy has been enforced at the expense of real efficiency. Treasury officials already were disturbed by the certainty 01 a $700,000,000 deficit this fiscal year. ending June CO next. Their problem now is aggravated by the prospect of a still larger gap between income and outgo the twelve months following. This year's deficit may be greatly reduced by the internal revenue bureau's war on tax dodgers. Treasofficials are confident it will bring an enormous volume of hidden tax money into the treasury vaults. The sweeping measures adopted to force evaaers of taxes into line, warrant prediction $500.000.000 or more will be squeezed out of wallets of wilful tax-slackers. elephItsIre GOOD FEEDERS "It will take three tons of timothy hay and several large bags of oats to fe?d the John Robinson military elephants which will be one of the many features at Orak Shrine circus in Hammond, Nov. Sth to 18th." said Herbert S. Maddy of the advance circus force, today. "These elephants, four in numhr ar the best trained in the t cim H 'i l- janel am al kind and as gentle as kittens.

Lowell and Hohait and speaking- this afternoon at four o'clock in Whiting. 7:30 (prompt) Speaks at Kiley school. Indiana Harbor. 8:30 (prompt) Speaks at Masonic Temple, Hammond. The tour of Indiana's next senator. Albert J. Leveridge. through Lake county is a tremendous ovation. At Gary last night he had a monster meeting and even big per meetings are expected in Indian.! Harbor and Hammond this even inc. He brought a great crowd to his feet at the close of a speech that last two and a half hours. The Orpheum theater was jammed to the doors. Beveridge pointed out the. mistaken thory of government held by the democratic party. He said that the democratic policy is to look, upon all commerce and industry as dishonest and to watch it with government commission and bureaus of which the railroad labor board is a relic of their administration. He advocated the abolishment of railroad labor board. He said the time is approaching when the people are going- to demand that strikes cease. He advocated direct dealing between employer and employ; .in the settlement of differences. The League of Nations is not a dead issue, he said. although the American people believed that thev ,had settled that question when they electe Harding by an overwhelming majority. Beveridsre declared that the League of Nationsis being promoted by every form of propaganda from Europe and that .the mova for cancellation of the allies debts to America is but one form of propaganda. Europe must pav its debts to America, he declared. He said that thero are a million and a half more soldiers in the European standing armies now than before the war. Speaking in Gary last night, on the birthday of Theodore P.oosevelt. Albert J. Beveridge declared that "it mattered not at all to Roosevelt that to take a stand upon a public question might offend this, that or the other group." and while he dil not want to alienate any group "if such alienation was the price he had to pay for upholding what he believed to be right, he paid that pric gladly, with Etout heart and smile." Mr. Beveridge saiU Roosevelt was annoyed by a certain element of erratic and wild' political camp followers whom he termed "the lunatic fringe of American liberalism."' and that before his death some of this uncombed element began to denounce him because he resisted with all his might their destructive and absurd notions. After his death those of the "lunatic fringe." Mr. Beveridge said, attempted to seizf' upon the 'itle "progressive"' ami brand as "reactionary"' all those who did not agrae with them that economic law should bo repealed and established order overthrown and constitutional government abolished. He said the term "lunatic fringe'-' is at this time "peculiarly applicable to certain men and movements." Mr. Beverilge's address before an audience that filled the theatre to overflowing, was preceded by a redfire parade. More than 300 automobiles participated in the illuminated procession. Mr. Beveridge w a s cheered as he rode through th-? streets to the nesting. Thomas Roberts. Lake county Republican chairman, was master of ceremonies. Fred Crumpacker of Hammond, son of the late Edgar P. Crumpacker. who was for a long time a member of congress, spoke briefly in presenting Mr. Beveridse. Mr. Beveridge declared that If Roosevelt were alive today he would be in the thick of the nVhr lo safeguard constitutional government : would oppose group domination o.' government and resist th soriali'tic doctrine row hein.; urged to destroy capital by taxation or any other element. "One example is pecularily applicable to certain men and wovemms of this very hour," .Mr. Bpveridg. declared. 'Theodore ttoos?vh was constantly annoyed by the peiv.imbra around the prosrssive party of uncombev. wild and ciratic Pf-rsrms. tinged with insanity. vhu" only impulse they ever had any idea was to destroy something: and this sanv brand of political ramp follower also and equally vexed him wh.-n hwas the head of the Republican party. "So he called them the lumti' fringe of American li'-ryalism. Indeed his idea was and he was right that these explosive and irresponsible elements, were, are and always will be. the danger spots in our social order. "Even before Theodore Roosevelt (Med this 'lunatic fringe' began to denounce him because he would nt lead, but resisted with all hi" might their destructive and absurd notions. And after his death thin lunatic fringe' seized upon the t:tlprogressive' end all those who did not agree with them that economic :aw should be repealed and (s'ablished order overthrown and constitutional government abolished were called 'reactionary.'
