JOHNSON

BITTER IN

OPPOSITION

By J. BART CAMPBELL. [STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE] WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. With caustic denunciation and stinging irony, two of the former "irreconcilable" associates of Senator Borah In the historic league of nations battle Senators Moses of New Hampshire and Johnson of California yesterday poured the vials of their disapproval on Borah's proposal for a world economic and disarmament conference. "I am against it." said Johnson, 'because in even greater degree, and with less safeguards than the league of nations gave to us, it would embroil us in European controversies and finally make the United Slates, after 150 years, a part of the European system." For the United States to attempt to sit In the European game, Moses declared, would mean it would have to act as empire between England and Belgium on one side and France and Italy on the other, in the reparations muddle. "Our national fame," he said, "daily demonstrates rates the uncomfortable position the umpire occupies. I have no desire to see Uncle Sam branded by a pop bottle thrown from

addition hundreds of smaller bakers operate single Speed Wagons. "The Speed Wagon is coming to be recognized as the leading car for the baking business," says Mr. Schoon of the Reo Sales Company. "The well-managed bakeries of the land, of course, keep careful ac-

count of their delivery costs, and the use of Speed Wagons is general because they haul a given amount of bread cheaper and quicker. "In that connection, it is interesting to note the conclusions of one of the largest baking concerns in the East, operating 18 baking plants in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, and one of the largest baking companies in the land. "A communication from this company to the Reo factory says: 'We have been using Speed Wagons

in the Trenton plant, and previous to this had tried out all the other makes of cars suitable to this class of work. This company is now installing Speed Wagons in all of their 18 plants. We feel that there can be no better test than the daily use which we give these cars, and we cannot recommend them too highly. We find that the upkeep is less, mileage per gallon of gasoline is greater in comparison with other cars, and that the power of the Speed Wagon cannot be excelled."

the European bleachers." "The implication of what is now proposed cannot be winked out of sight. The letter of the president contains some hint of them. If we engage in any conference such as is outlined, or in any conference held prior to some earnest attempt on Europe's part to clean her own house, we shall find ourselves in the anomalous and disagreeable position of making decisions between two equally balanced groups of contenders." "Sooner or later" Moses said, "there must be some cessation of American philanthropy and while it may seem momentarily cruel for America to withdraw utterly from all contact with the economic problems of Europe, such a course would not fail to emphasize to Europe what Europe most needs, a realization of its own madness." Johnson declared "I would prefer a league of nations to this general ominous endeavor which was neither limitations nor specifications."

WARFARE ON

BOOTLEGGING

DRUG STORE

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 30 Open warfare on the ''bootlegging" drug store was opened today by the Retail Druggists' Association in convention here. Simultaneously with the avowed purpose of the association to drive the "bootlegger" from behind the prescription counter, was revealed that government records here show that approximately 18,000 gallons of whiskey, requiring 144,000 pint prescriptions from doctors have been dispensed over Kansas City drug counters this year and that 1,521 gallons of distilled liquors were withdrawn from government warehouses by 205 Kansas City druggists, many of whom are exsaloon keepers, in December alone. W. H. Allen, prohibition director for Missouri, declared that these figures on the enormity of the liquor traffic among Kansas City druggists are based on legalized sales alone, not counting the il-

legal sales by numbers of "mushroom" drug stores that have sprung up here since prohibition went into effect. Profits on the illegal sale of liquor by drug stores is declared to be enormous.

U.S. AWAITS ACTION OF ALLIED PREMIERS

Officials Will Go Slow in Moving in European Situation. By GEORGE R. HOLMES, [STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE] WASHINGTON. Dec. 30. The United States will make no definite move in the European situation until it can be seen whether the allied premiers in their meeting at Paris next week can adjust the differences which have kept Europe in economic foment for three years. If the premiers again fail to agree upon German reparations and other controversial problems and if France persists in her announced intention of occupying the Ruhr basin on January 15, then it is entirely probable the American government will intervene with a "plan" to adjust the differences and designed particularly to forestall a French military thrust at the Ruhr. This is the policy of President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes, as gleaned today from the numerous official statements, semiofficial statements and plain, ordinary conjectures, with which Washington has been dulged in the last twenty-four hours. No hard-and-fast American program has been worked out, it was stated finally today, nor is one likely to be in advance of the arrival of Colonel George Harvey, American ambassador to Great Britain.

line, says Mr. Skafish. One of the most noticeable items in connection with the new car is its low appearance combined with ample head room. The windows and doors are made as large as possible, the former being 28 inches wide giving 22 square feet of glass. Tho door is 31 inches wide and, as will be noted from the illustration, allows ample clearance for access to the rear seat by tilting the front seat forward. The rear seat is 44 inches wide, allowing ample space for two passengers, or three averaged sized persons when it is desired to carry five passengers. The company has seen fit to equip

this car with a trunk of large capacity the inside dimensions of which are 37 inches long. 11 inches wide and 19 inches deep. Polished. Some of the other features of the car include an overlapping windshield, all metal visor, with a dull finish underneath to prevent glare wool upholstering in fast color, extra rubber bumpers on doors to prevent rattle, worm and nut win-
