RICHMOND MINISTERS FAVOR ORGANIZATION; OFFICE IS OPENED
SOUTH GRAY SOON CEASE TO BE SOLID J Satisfaction Over Prospect General in Various Sections Among Best Class Southern Democrats. HARDING JSWELL LIKED By MARK SULLIVAN. NEW ORLEANS. La., Nov. 20.
When Senator Harding was address ing the open air crowd in New Orleans on Tuesday, Just before sailing or Panama, I stood on the city hall steps behind him with the owner and editor of one of the New Orleans newspapers, a man who not only is a Democrat by conviction, but is so tied to that party by tradition and official association that it is possible to speak of him as a Brahmin among Democrats.

"You can make it as strong as you like as far as 1 am concerned," said Rev. w. J.

her. That ought to show where I stand," he concluded. Headquarters Opened Temporary headquarters for the new body were opened Saturday in the Knights of Pythias Temple by Walter B. Fulghum. The furniture of the old Chamber of Commerce has been turned over to the new temporary organization and room 305 in the K. P. Temple, phone number 2817, "have been assigned to the new body. Plans for the community lunch Dec. 1, at which the need for this organization will be discussed by representatives of all classes in the city, are rapidly progressing. Indications are that this will mark the real starting point of the now organization.

that crowd, is that there is hardly a OKen regarding the matter. "There
a ucru iui a central organization or this kind through which the various
negro in it; on former occasions, when
Republican presidents visited New Or. leans, the occasion was regarded by the negros as their particular day, and more than half the crowd was colored. "That crowd, that has come to heat Harding," he continued, "is representative of the people who voted for him." "They are as good as any people In our city. In some respects they are the best people in our city." Best People Vote. The people who voted for Harding Include most of our banking people, most of our mercantile people, and most of the people connected with our leading industries. Actually two-fifths of the people of this state voted for Hayding, and most of them were people of this class. The negro element, in the vote that Harding got was a negligible fraction, not over three or four thousand at the outside. With the votes of the people of .the best class Harding carried several districts of this city, and came close to carrying the city as a whole. "If the Republicans had been welt organized and had made a real nght, or if the Democratic vote had "not been stimulated by the fact that a proposal for a new constitution was voted on
the same day, Harding might well have carried Louisiana." Expresses Satisfaction. All these things and others to tho sa mo effect this Democratic editor said, and he said them not with bitterness or regret, but with satisfaction And this satisfaction with the prospect that the south may soon cease to bo a Solid unit politically, and may become a normal section like every other part of the country, doubtful as between the parties and with both parties contending for it in each election. The satisfaction over this prospect is 'general with the class of Democrats of whom this speaker is typical. "In some parts of the South this satisfaction is true on the grounds that it is more wholesome for a community to have two parties contending for its votes than for one party to have a monopoly of it. They cite the educational value of political campaigns, political delegates and political pamphleting." Want Protection. "In Louisiana the satisfaction over Republican victory is not entirely altruistic. Louisiana is less a cotton fetate than the other southern states. Louisiana is a sugar state, a rice state and a lumber state. And all three of these industries need, or think they
need protection. When Senator Hard-
societies in the city can work for the betterment of Richmond. From a citzenship standpoint it is the best thing that could happen -to the city." Rev. A. H. Backus, pastor of the Grace M. E. church, made public a signed statement in which he expressed a most favorable opinion of the plan Saturday. The statement follows:
"It has been my privilege to study J
me netaus or the new proposed Chamber of Commerce and I want to say that the Richmond form of organization as outlined is simple, workable and I believe will be very successful. A. H. Backus, Pastor Grace M. E. church.

mental agencies, and has functioned in a most successful manner, but, as the directors of the organization point out in their statement which appears in the prospectus, the bureau still has "a big task to perform. "It is no easy matter to plan for and with people suffering from social ills," the directors statement reads, "to determine the causes of the illness, and to have the courage to get under these causes, at the same time keeping in
mind both the individual's rights and
the public welfare." Look After Children. Another excerpt from the directors statement reads: "It is not a hard task to give a man something material.

LEAGUE ASSEMBLY TAKES FIRST STEP TOWARD REVISION
GENEVA. Nov. 20. The first formal step looking toward the revision of
the covenant of the League of Nations was taken by the assembly of the league at today's session. The Dutch minister of foreign affairs, H. A. Van Karnabeek, introduced a resolution for. reconsideration of A,rr:cle XVIII having to do with the registration of treaties. . The reso!ution provides that the reconsideration be conducted either by
1 1 ne asseniDiy useir or Dy a committee, j to make the meaning of the article
clearer. Jonkheer Van Karnebeek first ca'led attention to this article of the covenant at yesterday's sesion. He 3aid there were several interpretations of the article, which in brief provides that, treaties between nations shall not be binding until they are registered with the league, and proposed that It be studied carefully with a view to Its clarification.
(The text of Article XVIII reads: "Every treaty or international engagement entered into hereafter by any member of the league shall be forthwith registered with the secretariat and shall as soon as possible be published by it. No such treaty or international engagement shall be binding until so registered." Military Force. An international military force, with ?n international staff was proposed to the assembly of the league of nations today by Senator Henri la Fontaine, of the Belgian delegation. Senator la Fontaine had somewhat startled the assembly by declaring that he world was not yet ready for disarmament. "It is necessary to say frankly to the people," lie said, "that the time for disarmament has not yet come." Before the world could disarm, he

ers who enter in that satisfaction, in
ciuaes one important assumption.
includes the assumption that the Republican party-if and when.it becomes equal in power to the Democrats in the south, will take the same attitudes that the Democrats take toward negro voting. It goes on the assumption that wherever the negro population is half or close to half of the whole, that element shall not be solicited to vote and become a balance of power between two white faciions. South Is Agreed. If the south thought the Republicans would lu like'y to do in the future as they have in the past, to stim ulate the nrgro to vote so as to give
mar. many pawns to unscrupulous politicians, to bribe the negro and buy and sell his power in the national elections, if the south thought the Republicans were going to continue these practices, the Republican party would have no better prospects here in the future than in the past. But the south has come to feel that nearly everybody now agrees about what is best to do about the negro as a voter in communities whore he is so numerous that his vote would be the determining factor. "Aside from the satisfaction of the j-ugar people, tho rice people, the lumber people and the other commercial and financial classes with his election, Senator Harding made in New Orleans the same impression of simple friendliness that he has made elsewhere in. the south and received from the audience a tribute that was clearly intended to make him feel that he had their good-will and good wishes."

England wouIJ stand elbow to elbow with France but he insisted that the amount Got many will be called upon to pay should bo fixed. "There are always some people who pick quarrels," said the premier. In reply to a remark that French public opinion was badly impressed by whaf France believed to be the British attitude on questions vital to this coun try. There is no quarrel, however, and you have Just told me there were no interests in the world, on either the French or the British side, that can slacken the Franco-British brotnerhood. I never thought otherwise. Denies Impression. The interviewer told Mr. Lloyd George the question of reparaUons took precedence over all others In France, and that in certain French circles there was an Impression, either rightfully or wrongfully held, that th British premier opposed the viewpoint of the French, relative to the amount Germany should pay. "I would say that this impression Ij wrongly held," said Mr. Lloyd George, 'iou say reparations constitute an essential point for France, and I would say it is also of paramount importance for us, since it is evidenr that the more Fiance gets, the more England will receive," "I will tell you exactivn.-ha t ,-!,
