President Announces Decision
Against bbtaining Island Crop

McNary Bill Gives Authority for
Curbing Profiteers—lt Will Be
Enforced, Says White House.
(By Universal Service.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—The Cu
ban sugar crop will not be bought,
Président Wilson announced in a for
mal statement issued at the White
House.
“On the basis of the facts present-‘
ed a.x‘d the conclusions reached by
the sugar equalization board,” says
the statement, “the president Has de
cided that the authority conferred by
‘the McNary sugar act, passed Decem
bq_x' 20, so far as it involves the pur
chase and distributfon of the:Cuban
crop by the government, should not
be exercised.” . :
PRICES TO STAY UP.
The White House statement holds
out little hope for a reduction in the
price of sugar until “the flow of raw
sugars from the large crops of Cuba
and Porto Rico reaches its peak in
March and April.” Then, the state
ment says, ‘‘prices may be somewhat
reduced.” |
Existing high prices are not due to‘
an actual shortage of sugar, it is in
dicated, however. The statementl‘
concludes: ‘
SUPPLY SUFFICIENT,
“Apparently the supply of sugar
available for consumption in the Unit
ed States will be sufficient to meet
the demands of the consumers, even
on the present unnecessarily large
basis of consumption.”
The per capita consumption of
sugar in the United States, it is stat
ef‘ has increased from eighteen
pounds the year after the Civil War
to more than ninety pounds in 1919.
The licensing power continued in
the McNary bill, it is promised, will
be invoked to prevent profiteering.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Arrange

Democratic presidential campaign,
scheduled to take place here next
Thursday, are now complete.
The list of the speakers who will
participate in the oratorical barrage
at the grand ‘“Jackson Day” rally
Thursday night will be ready for pub

man Homer 8. Cummings of the Dem
ocratic National Committee, here. He

. At 10 o'clock on the morning of
January 8 at the Shoreham Hotel the
committee will name the date and
sielect. the place of the next conven
tion.
The Jackson Day banquet will be
held in two groups, one at the New
Willard and the other at the Wash

Cummings of the Democratic Na
tional Committee announced tonight.
WILSON TO SEND MESSAGE.
The dinner will be served prompt=--
ly at 6 o'clock at both hotels, and
the speaking program will begin as
soon thereafter as possible. The
functions will be of equal importance
and the same speakers will be asked
to attend and adress both gatherings,
Cummings stated.
“This arrangement was found im
perative, owing to the great demand
for tickets from leading Democrats
throughout the country, who have
been deluging the national commit
tee with requests during the last few
days,” said Cummings. “There will
be representatives from every State,
including cabinet officers, Democratic
senators, congressmen, governors and
others prominent in official and busi
ness life,” he added.
Persident Wilson will send a mes
sage to be read before the assem
blage, and fifteen speakers will make
themselves heard.
William Jennings Bryan is expect
ed to deliver the principal speech of
the evening and strike the ‘“keynote”
of the campaign. In the past no
Democratic rally feit it was living up
to tradition unless it lasted pretty
much all night. This one the com
mittee is trying to make an excep
tion. Nevertheless given the number
of speeches which, it is considered,
simply must be heard-—coming as
they will from some of the party's
presidential timber and highest ad- |
visers—the faithful will scarcely find
‘their pillows until well after midnight]
at the earliest. 1
San -Francisco is making a hard
fight for the convention. Its dele
gation will come to Washington with
a certified check for $150,000 in its
wallet, and while Chicago is said to
be prepared to make the same offer,

Comparison Drawn With Slavery
Question When Whigs Were
Routéd by Republican Party.
By J. BART CAMPBELL,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—No com
promise reached on reservations to
the peace treaty by the Republican
“mild reservationists” and the ad
ministration Democrats will prevent
the proposed entry of the American
people into the League of Nations
from being made one of the chief
issues of the presidential campaign.
This is the view taken of the treaty
situation by Senator Borah of Idaho,
ane of the “irreconcilables” opposed
[to ratification, conditional or uncons
iditiona]. R e v BN
Senator Borah was still’ waiting to
hear from Governor Lowden of Illi
nois, to whom he addressed a letter
on what stand the governor proposed
to take on the League of Nations.
WATCHING LOWDEN.
If the governor’s reply is that he
favors ratification with the socalled
Lodge reservations, he will have
side-stepped the real issue, which is
the more fundamental one of whether
the American people are to be com
mitted to the league, with or without
reservations, was "the attitude as
sumed by the “irreconcilables.”
Negotiations to effect ratification
by compromise are still going on be
tween certain Republican and Demo
cratic Senators, whether successful
or unsuccessful tnese efforts will not
keep the league out of the campaign.
Senators Hiram Johnson of Call
fornia and Poindexter of Washing
ton, are two ‘“irreconcilables” who,
as avowed presidential aspirants, are
preparing to carry the league issue
to the people.
“The irreconcilables” assume the
position that for the Republican par
ty to compromise on the league
would be fatal to the party’s future.
They point out that the efforts of
Daniel Webster and other national
leaders to compromise the slavery
issue sounded the death knell of the
old Whig party, and led to the crea
tion of the Republican party on a
basis of no compromise with slavery.
THIRD PARTY SEEN. |
Senator Borah and his colleagues
argue that if some of the leaders of
the Republican party attempt to
compromise the league issue with
leaders of the Democratic party, as
an attempt was made to effect a!
compromise on slavery between the
Northern and Southern Whigs in
the days before the Civil War, a
third party will spring up in this
country in the approaching cam-‘
paign that will wipe out old party
lines and relegate both of the present
dominant parties to the background.
They believe that popular senti
ment against the American people
being committeed to the league, with |
the prospect of American soldiers be
ing used in every foreign broil nfi
war, is so strong that any attempt |
to compromise the issue would bring
overwhelming support to a third|
party at the expense of both the,
Republican and Democratic party. ‘

for stores in the retail section that

Teutons in Better Economic Con
dition Than U, S., England
.o France, Says Banker.
(By a Universal Service Staff Corre
| spondent.)
BERLIN, Jan. 4—“ l am no opti
mist in any Utopian sense, I know
‘what is before us and am not closing
my eyes to hard facts; but condi
‘tions in Germany and the outlook
for Germany economically are per
‘haps more promising than in France
or England, yes, even more so than
in your own country.”
That was the statemont made to
day by General Director Guttman of
the Dresdner Bank, the second larg
est banking institution in Germany.
Guttman, since the retirement of
Gwinner from the Deutsche Bank, is
regarded as the Vanderlip of Ger
many.
‘“Let me explain what I mean by
that,” he continued. “Germany’s old
state structure is in ruins. The pres
st conditions may continue for
some time, but can hardly get much
worse, as we are already at the bot
tom. It is more or less a case of
clearing away the debris and getting
to work again to build up a new
foundation. Whatever we do sooner
or later is almost certain to be in
the direction of reconstruction and
upbuilding both#economically and
politically. The desire to work and
be industrious which is so strong a
part of the German characters is re
turning.
UNREST IN FRANCE.
“In France, according to our re
ports ‘through financial channels,
there is a strong disinclination to
work. The French people do not yet
realize their true situation and that
they can not live off Germany. In
that country popular unrest is only
just beginning and-is certain to be
intensified when the people fully
realize the real conditions. They
have not yet begun destroying what
is old. 1
“According to the same reports the
inclination to work is not much
greater in England than in France.
It would seem that England is also
moving in the direction of a politi
cal and economic crisis. And if we
may credit the reports we get from
financiers in New York regarding-the
industrial unrest, uncertaipty, strikes
and high cost of living, the situation
in your country in that respect is
even worse.
“In brief, while the three countries
I have named are engaged in tearing
down and in conflicts between capi
tal and labor in an effort to reach a
new readjustment of these forces,
Germany ought to be moving forward
in upbuilding. 1 hope I make myself
clear.”
This talk with Germany’s Vander
lip was one of the most interesting
and frank interviews I have had
with amny of the numerous German
leaders I have met recently. I had
asked him for his views of the out
look for Germany financially and
economically for the coming year and
he prefaced his statement with:
SEES CREDIT IN U. 8.
“lI am no prophet and I doubt if
you will find any German financier
who has the courage to make pre
dictions in view of éxisting condi
tions and the uncertainty of the fu
ture. Predictions are possible only
when one has certain suppositions or
conditions as a basis of promise.”
“What must those be?” I asked.
“That America agree to grant us
larg credits and that we have no
bolshevists.”,

Famous Poet, in New York, Says
Happiness Rests in the Songs

One Brings to Other Hearts.
' ' '
‘Mme. Maeterlinck With Philoso

B .
Spiritualism As Year’s Work.
By AUSTIN LARDY,
Staff Correspondent Universal Service
NEW YORK, Jan. 4—“The Blue
Bird of Happiness sings in one’s own
heart,” said Maurice Maeterlinck.
“Love? Happiness? To get them
one must make them sing in an
other’s heart and then listen to the
song,"” said his beautiful, spirit-like
child-wife, Renee Dahon Maeter
linck, who has supplanted the gor
geous Georgette Leblanc in the af
fections of Belgium's great philoso
pher and poet of happiness.
Maurice Maéterlinck, grave, se
riously courteous, dignified, even in
‘his home ‘workling eostume of hoavy
white ‘flannel pajamas and slippers,
bowed solemnly and left the huge
studio room at the top of one of
New York's tallest apartment hotels,
Where he is staying before going on
his lecture tour through the United
States and Canada. His 19-year-old
bride, blonde as a buttercup, lively
as an elf, skipped across the cham
ber and parted the heavy velvet cur
tains through which he white haired
husband had vanished. She peered
after him, closed the hangings, and
flitted back to the canopied divan
from which she had sprung. She
leaped, there was a flutter of gar
ments, and she had alighted in '.hel
middle of the divan gracefully as a
bird. She sat up. Mme. Maeter
linck shook the yellow curls that
framed her vivid face.
ABOUT LEAP YEAR.
“Leap Year?” she repeated the
question. “It mpeans to jump? No?”
her quick jerky French carried not
a trace of Belgian accent. “Oh, it
means that a woman.can tell a man
that she wants to marry? Never
have I heard that. It is lovely. The
poor women in Belgium and France!
They never have known. 1 shall go
back and tog them,
“But no,” She added. “It would do
little gaod. Most women in France
and Belgiam are too, too—what you
call it?—conservative. They would
be too timid. They believe it s al
ways for the man to speak. They
are convent bred, most of them, and
they are very shy. It will be ten
years before they are half so ad
vanced as the American women,
“I think,” continued Mme. Maeter
linck, he face very serious, ‘“that the
war has done much to improve the
morals of Europe. Morality i much
higher. People are more idealistic,
They think seriously.
“The women of America are very
beautiful,” she went on, answering
a question, *“And it is a mnatural
beauty, a charm of health and clean
liness. There is such an air of free
dom here. Everybody is so busy. I
think New York has a blue bird in
its own heart. But I must go, now.
They call me,”
She sprang from the couch like a
school girl, nodded her pretty head
and danced out of the room. Some
how the big, tapestry hung cham
ber seemeéd less bright when she had
gone.
POET BUSY.
Maurice Maeterlinck, about to at
tend a reception had made a quick
change to full evening dress. He’
was found in another room tapping
a typewriter rapidly, while his watch
lay open at his elbow. He had a
minute or two more to spare the in
thterviewer. Tall, thick set, courtly
is the poet philosopher. There is a
dream in his clear blue eyes. His
face is square, and there are tired
lines about his eyes, and mouth. His
thick, white hair is swept back from
a splendid forehead.
“I think,” he said, “the war has
caused a moral reaction throughout
Europe.. It is very natural. People,
so long in dread and pain, have
abandoned themselves to the pure
joy of living.
“Will there be any more wars? I

Deportation Prospect for All Un<

‘ the East and North Is Heavy,
‘ By DAVID M. CHURCH. 9
| WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—The nas
tion-wide drive against the comi«
imunlat party and the communist
‘labor party was still in progress to«
night.
. With 2,635 arrests as ‘perfect cases'
‘made, Attorney General Palmer gave
;orders that Department of Justice
‘agents should continue their efforts
to apprehend all of the “Reds” .until
the entire 3,500 and more warrants
issued have been served. s
A ‘“perfect case is described :i
Assistant Attorney General Garvan. .
as one in which the evidence col~
lected by the government on the of
fender is so conclusive in one or
;more of its charges that the ‘“red”
iwill be certain of deportation by the
‘Bureau ,of Immigration of the De»
partment of Labor.
~ The department is now directing
;its efforts particularly to secure the
arrest of the leaders of the two par
‘ties, and it was understood that some
;addltional warrants might be issued
'based upon information secured in
the raids. .
ESCAPES FEARED.
There was some apprehension lest
some of those who have been ar
rested will escape. The depatrtment
of labor, upon whose warrants the
arrests were made, has. issued a rule
}ing that the communists may be re«
leased on SI,OOO bail, with the eg
‘ceptlon of the leaders. It is under=
stood that the two organizations have
a large fund which is used for the
purpose of furnishing bail for mems+
bers who are arrested.
Direct connection between the
communists and the Trotzky and Le«
