WASHINGTON, March 18.—Bain-‘
bridge Colby, appearing before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committeei
today to reply to charges made}
against him in connection with hisi
nomination for secretary of state,‘
made “a favorable impression,” ac-‘
cording to members of the commit
tee. |
Senator Hitcheock, Democratic
leader, declared Colby’'s reply to
the charges was a “knockout to the
opposition.”
Colby’s nomination has been await
ing activn by the Senate since Feh
ruary 25, as a result of which the de
partment of state is now without a
head.
Various witnesses have appeared
before the committee, including Her
bert Parsons, New York lawyer and
political leader and Brigadier Gen
eral Marlborough Chuarchill, chief of
the army intelligence.
Colby, when he left the committee
room, declined to discuss his testi
mony.
“It would be a breach of propriety
for me to do sO,” he said.
He smiled when asked if he re
garded the objections raised to him
“seriously.”
“Sorry, but I can’t talk now, boys,”
he said to the newspaper men gath
ered around him. s
The corimittee will continue its
consideraticp of Colby's momination
tomorrow in executive session. Colby
is understood to have offered to call
one witness himself to. corroborate
hi§ testimony.

WASHINGTON, March 18 —Her
hert Hoover expresses belief that the
peace treaty should be ratified with- |
out further delay, in a statement!
given to the Washington Star.
In response to the direct inquiry,
Mr. Hoover said:
‘.‘Regardless of what any of us may
think should have been the provi
sions of either the league or the
treaty, we and the worid should not
be kept waiting longer for a settle
ment. The whole process of peace
has been necessarily one of compro
mise and so long as the fina! form
gives us freedom of action and room
for constructive development of |
peace I believe it should be ac-‘
cepted. ‘
“The reservations should satisfy
the most timid as to entanglements, |
and despite the feeling of the Presi-l
dent and his associates that the
strength of the league is somewhat
undetermined, I believe they should
also accept. 1 do not believe the
reservations destroy the possibility
of the creation of a potent organi
zation to mitigate the dangers in
front of us, and the alternatives are
a continuation of our state of war for
another year or the unthinkable thing
for us to make a separate peace aft
er we have gone so far as to agree
in its main lines with our comrades
in arms.
“Due to this unsettlement and
other causes that the league would
mitigate. the world is steadily drift
ing back (o a worse state of inter
nationa! antagonism than existed be
fore 1914. The naval strength of ev-!
ery great ration except the enemy
and Russia bas been increased dur
ing the war. Many great armies
have been demobilized, yet the world
is again engaged in preparedness,
ard the actual nomber of men un
‘der arms today is much larger than
“before 1914,
i “The world’s total armament and
‘the military expenditure is larger,
aespite the burden of grinding debt.”
'FAVORS LEAGUE.
“The President seems to feel that
the foundation of the league rests
upon our participating (subject to
approval of Congres on use of force)
in an obligation to preserve the ter-l
ritorial -integrity and political inde
pendence of its members against ag
gression. Without entering upon this
method of prevention of aggression,
I believe a great foundation of peace
does lie in the continuous function
ing of a body of great international
representatives sitting outside the
pettines of the day to day interna-l
tional relations, engaged upon concil
iation,
“This question of disarmament is a
vital issue to us. If theer be the
league sitting in ‘development of
methods of peace. * * * I have no
doubt the great majority of the Brit- ‘
ish, French and Italian people would
themselves be the first to aprove
a reduction of naval and other arma
‘ments, for they, too, are suffering un
der its burden.
“If we can secure no safety by
disarmament we must tax ourselves
a colple of billians a year and enter
a race of preparedness and build up
a military caste of our own.
LEGALLY AT WAR.
“If the treaty fails of ratification
now, it apparently must be kept on
the American stage for a year, until
the next administration, in which case |
‘we remain legally at war with Ger
many, or, alternatively, we must
‘makea separate peace. If the first
course is adopted * * * we would
have no proper equality in trade with
a large portion of Europe.
“The reparations commisison is an
accomplished fact and is the most
powerful economic body in the world.
It is today conducting, without our
veto, a control that affects not only
our trade in Europe, but many other
interests highly important to us, clos
er at home. Naturally, with us out
side the treaty, we may expect the
commission to at least neglect our
interests.
“Another alternative, if we aban
don this treaty, is that we ask Ger-f
many to negotiate a separate peace
with us. *,* * Can we expect
that Germany will accept the Ver
sailles terms from us? Will we re
sume fighting again? 1
NOT A DOCUMENT. |
“We will be in the position of a na
tion that has deserted its allies, Will
not the Germans thus effectually
drive a cleavage between us and the
sllien? F..® . * ‘
“In my view the soul o fthe league
as an influénce to the prevention of
war may have died in world antago
nism long before we can come to our
presidential election. |
“The league .is not a document, it
is an organization of the moral sense
of the civilized states. * * * With
us out it is in great danger of devel
oping into an eorganization for the
advancement of certain national in
terests, and we may find it an econ
omie, if ot a political, league against
us, for we are the creditors of the
world today. *. * * Are any of
these alternatives better to any one
than acceptance of the treaty as
passed by .the majority of the Sen
ate? Is it not a praetical thing to
ratify it and then to build construc
itlvely toward peace and good will?
“If the league nroves a success the
world will readily grant it greater
powers. All these are 'the issues of
self-interest, There are greater is
sues than these.
“Two vears ago, with the entire
world aligned against Germany, our
praver wae that we were fighting the
last great war; that something bet
ter should come to the world in re
turn for the sacrifice. Today the
world is drifting back and through
our vietory failure may turn only to
new antagonisms.”

serted names. Managers and clerks
will be instructed to count them.
Whether inserted names would be
recognized by the State Democratic
Committee, however, was another
guestion. Chairman Mason an
nounced that, should the name of
Herbert Hoover be inserted in the
ballot by .a majority -of the voters,
his name would be certified by the
county . committee to J. J. Fiynt,
chairman of the State committee. It
would then be up to the State com
mittee to rule on whether the votes
were valid
COUP FOR HOOVER?
The action ot the county commit
tee in providing space on the official
ballot for other candidates will b 2
received with particular interest, in
view of the action of the subcom
mittee of the State committee in de
clining to place the name of Herbert
Hoover on the ticket, because of his
refusal to declare himself a Demo
crat.
While the announcement of the
Fulton subcommittee was that a
space would be left on the ballot
that the “voters might vote for any
one they might thoose for Presi
dent,” it generally was regarded as a
move to allow Fulton supporters of
Hoover to vote for him, and thus out
wit the State committee in its de
termination to keep his name off of
the State ticket.
.
Committee Favors
Party Statement
With a majority of replies to ques
tionnaires sent to members of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee by Chairman J. J. Flynt approv
ing the action of the subcommittee
fn requiring presidential prefeggnce
candidates to qualify as party mem
bers before their names are placed
on the forthcoming primary ballot,
it is not considered necessary to call
a meeting of the full committee at
this time.
This was decided Wednesday at a
meeting of the subcommittee held in
the Kimball House. Of the answers
in the hands of Chairman Flynt 48
favor the subcommittee’s action and
8 are opposed. There are yet a score
‘to be heard from.
‘[ Following the conference the fol
‘lowing statement by Mr. Flynt and
'Hiram L. Gardner, secretary of the
committee, was issued:
} At a meeting of the subcommittee of
‘the State Democratic Executive Commit
‘tee, held at the Kimball House this day,
the following members were present:
Messrs, J. J. Flynt, chairman; Hiram L.
‘G:\rdner, secretary; H. H. Dean, Fermor
Barrett, J. H. Milner, T. H. Parker,
The subcommittee proceeded to cahvass
the replies from the State executive com
‘mlltev a 8 to their approval or disapproval
of the action of the subcommittec as to
its request upon Hon, H. C. Hoover to
qualify under the rules, before putting his
name on the ticket for the. presidential
preference primary to be held on April 20.
~ Replies had been received f(rom fifty
six members of the total seventy-six. of
which forty-eight expressed their unquali
fied approval of the subcommittee’'s ac
tion, eight expressed their disapproval of
that action, and notice was taken of ex
pressions through the newspapers of dis
approvai of two other members, leaving
‘eighteen members unheard from in any
Way.
- The rules adopted by the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee in 1918, which
at the ggresent time are binding on the
suhcom‘ttee (section 5, jage D) are us
follows:
~ “No person shall be deemed a candidate
in said primary unless he is legally quali
fied to hold office for which he announces,
is a valid member and adherent to the
Democratic party, in both State and na
tional politics."” §
This same rule has been a standard ons
since the organization of the Democratic
white primary in Georgia. In view of this
fact, and of the replies from a large ma
jority of the State executive committee,
the suhcommittee could see no necessity
‘at this time of requesting the calling to
gether of the State Democratic Executive
Committee, and inasmuch as Mr. Hoover
‘hu. under the rules, until 12 o'clock
{fnoon) of April 1, 1929, to qualify as a
Democrat, and have his name placed on
the preferential primary ballot, the com
mittee, on motion, adjourned, subject to
the call of the chair.
The attiude of the committeemen as
indicated by their replies to the question
naire was announced by Judpe Fiynt as

| “HER TERRIBLE TIME” |
2.REEL BILLY REODES COMEDY e
Another Atlantan is a writer of 31]1
best ‘last line and lands one of those |
SSO awards. ]
The limerick ahout the frog andl
%Yhe lark in the park, you know. And
nearly every “last liner” seized '‘dark"”
to wind up their last linex e
So, when it came to selecting the
“hest last line” it was no easy task -
for the limerick judges. |
A good deal depended on the idea.
Now, what do you think of this
one?
“For ‘stars’ always ‘shine’ after
dark.”
Thats’ the “best last line” and T.
G. Lewis, 23 West Harris street, gets
the SSO award.
Here's the whole limerick: fi
A froggie who lived in the park
Was jealous indeed of the lark. j
‘1 really can't see 3
Why they don’t applaud me ‘4
For ‘stars’ always ‘Shine’ after °
dark!” ,
While limerick fans are hard at
work on “last lines” in The Geor
gian limerick contest, they are asked
to remember a date—March 31,
It's a secret just now. [
But to every hard working lim=«-
erick fan it will be the biggest of”
news. “
It will be of more interest to the
fans than—well, than anything else
in the paper that day, excepting per-‘
haps the news to one individual that
he or she has got over a “best lasts
line.”
Just now, remember the date—
; March 31,
. In the meantime keep working on
those daily incompleted limericks.
