JOHNSON FLAYS FOREIGN POLICY Says People Have Right to Know What’s Going On Universal Service. Chicago, Jan. 18.—Senator Hiram JohnsoA opened his presidential cam paign In Illinois Friday night. The California senator addressed two large meetings. In his speech Senator Johnson at tacked the administration’s tax re duction plan, declaring it to be a "blind to obscure issues and benefit the wealthy.” v And of the administration's for eign policy he said: "The American people today do not know what is the foreign policy of our government, and I have no hesi tation in saying it is their right to know that foreign policy. It may be We do not know our foreign policy because wo have none, but even the fact that we have none, the Amer ican people have the right to know. "A foreign policy, which in words, according to the late presidential message, says: ‘We atte.id to our own affairs," and which In deeds at tends to the affairs, not only of our neighboring nations, but the nations in Europe as well; a foreign policy toward Russia which, in the presi dential message, holds out a welcom ing hand, and through the secretary of state, turns it back; a foreign pol icy that denies activity upon the rep arations commission abroad, and then indirectly participates in that repara tions commission: a foreign policy which says the League of Nations is a closed Incident, and then attempts to take us into a part of the league; a foreign policy which speaks against permanent political alliances, and then practically allies us with exist ing power upon this hemisphere, con-, stltute a record of foreign policy which needs the obscuring sheen of a tax reduction scheme.” Senator Johnson declared that the government overtaxed the people last year and finds itself with a surplus on hand of $850,000,000.

PREW. Universal Service Correspondent. London, Jan. 17.—With the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York list ening Interestedly from the galler ies in the house of commons Thurs day evening, former Premier H. H. Asquith pronounced the doom of the Baldwin administration. From his place on the opposition benches, the former liberal leader declared: "It Is Impossible for any member of the liberal party to withhold his support from the labor party’s amendment to the king’s address." The Asquith pronouncement was greeted with tremendous cheering from the liberal and labor benches, removing the last vestige of doubt that the Baldwin government will be overthrown In Monday’s vote on the debate. Princes Not Worried Both princes smiled easily at this ‘final intimation that the king of Vfogland is about to be surrounded by labor advisers. Asquith continued: “I decline to believe that the sun will set on the power and prosperity of Britain the day that Ramsay MacDonald takes office. Labor, like other parties, will be limited by parliamentary condi tions which ths election created.” He reiterated the determination of ' the liberals not to enter into any combination with the conservatives to obstruct the labor movement. Labor Plans Vagus J. R. Clynes, labor, opened the de bate, moving for on amendment ex pressing a lack of confidence in ths Baldwin government. He was vague regarding the plans of the labor min istry. but he Intimated that a part of the program would be to recog nize the soviet government of Rus sia and apply new methods for working out real peace for Europe. Clynes declared that the foreign policy of Britain Is characterized by "weakness and inaction,’’ and said: "We can no longer merely watch and wait for American aid in making International settlements. We not only welcome such aid, but we find it essential.” An uproarous scene was staged by Scottish labor, members who voiced dissatisfaction regarding the reply from the government bench and to a question about pensions. D. Kirkwood and E. Shinwell be came so violent in their denuncia tion that Speaker White threatened to eject, them. In the excitement, Mrs. Wintringham, one of the wom en members, grabbed Kirkwood by the coat tails, trying to force him back Into his seat. Kirkwood angrily shook her off. Winstort Churchill made a sensa tional statement disassociating him self from the position taken In com mons by former Premier Asquith. Mr. Churchill declared: "The enthronement In office of a socialist government will be a seri ous national misfortune, such as has usually befallen great states only on the morrow of defeat in war.” Churchill advocates a joint ad dress by the liberals and conserva tives to King George pointing out the evils of a socialist government.

PROBE OF BUMP FLIGHTONTODAY Naval Committee to Investi gate Wild Voyage of Shenandoah Universal Service Washington, Jan. 18.—Investiga tion of the cause and effects of the thrilling runaway flight of the navy dirigible Shenandoah Wednesday night, when It broke from Its moor ing mast and rode out a 70 mile gale In a badly damaged condition, will be begun by the House naval affairs committee Saturday. The naval committee's inquiry will be directed particularly with the view of determining the wisdom and value of the proposed flight of the Shenandoah to the north pole next spring and the ability of the giant crnft successfully to negotiate the unprecedented voyage. Secretary of the Navy Denby and Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the bureau of aeronautics of the navy department, who has been designated by the department, will appear before the committee to give the members the benefit of their knowledge and opinion.

It may be said, however, that the majority opinion among the commit teemen and members of congress seems to be that if the navy depart ment experts believe the SPhenandoah successfully can make the long and hazardous Journey and that tlure Is no undue risk of life not found in all such exploring undertakings, and futher can demonstrate the scien tific value of the expedition, there will be no attempt to Interfere. ♦ 4444444-44Y44444444 ♦ 4 4 PARISIANS HAVE NEW 4 4 CAUSE FOR GLOOM 4 ♦ 4 4 Universal Service 4 4- Parle, Jan. 21.—Paris gave a 4 4 new sort of gasp Friday as the 4 4 high cost of living lilt the bars 4 4 and cafes a healthy wallop. 4 4 The price of all drinks went 4 4 up from 25 £o 30 per cent, fol- 4 4 lowing the dollar In its upward ♦ ♦ climb. 4 4 Turning from the bars to the 4 4 restaurants after paying the 4 4 new high price for intoxicants, 4 4 the thirsty and hungry souls 4 4 also discovered that, all food -4 4 prices had risen in ttie samo 4 4 proportions. 4 ♦ 4 4444-444444444444444 -— Bandits Escape With Mail But Overlook Big Payroll Sullivan, Ind., Jan. 18.—(U.

Jan. 17.—Michigan will b* the chief battle ground In the fight for the republican presidential nom ination. Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California declared Thursday night before an audience that packed the armory. Admitting the "politicians and the powers’’ are arrayed against him, Johnson said that neverthleas he en tered the contest In "highest spirits” because of hts "abiding confidence in just folks, those who, after all, con stitute the patriotic backbone of the nation.” Naturally every effort will be mad* to befog and becloud every issue, he said. The senator then launched Into an attack on the socalled Mellon tax reduction plan, charging that thl* was being used as "a smoke screen to hide what Is happening domes tically and to distract attention from a wobbling foreign policy which ha* for Its ultimate purpose, getting us into Europe’s maelstrom.” Declares For Bonus Senator Johnson challenged th* convention system of selecting pres idential candidates, declared for a bonus for the soldier, and demanded adequate credit for farmers. Senator Johnson declared Jt his belief that the United States could pay a bonus to the soldiers and at the same time carry out an adequate tax reduction program. As proof of this statement, he called attention to the fact that several of the European nations to whom the United State* had loaned considerable money, hav* already taken care of their war veterans. “The tax on incomes under 110,000 can be reduced exactly as proposed by the Mellon plan," he said, "and other reductions may be made and we can keep our promise to pay soldiers their due, a plan to which the republican party is pledged through endorsement of It by the lat* President Harding.” Farmer Hit Both Ways Taking up the fight for the farmer. Senator Johnson said: "The farmer today suffers not only from low prices but from the high cost of production. What he sells 1* low and what he buys Is high. HI* dollar Is below par. This Is especially true of the farmer In the Interior where the greatly increased freight charges eland between him and th* market. "The wheat farmer suffers most. “During the war the government held down the price of wheat to & lower level than other commodities. It Insisted on greatly increased acre age. The resulting overproduction has added much to the farmer’s dif ficulties. “Conditions with him ars not normal so long as he is not able to exchange his day’s labor with all other kinds of labor. He Is entitled to a fair wage and a reasonable re turn on his capital. He Is not get ting it. "Credit schemes alone will not sav* him from bankruptcy. He must hav* a market for his products at a fair price.” Th* presidential candidate de manded a clearer knowledge of th* foreign policy, declaring that tb* statement regarding the World Court as outlined In President Coolidge’a message to congress, was an admis sion of futility, so far as ths World Court concerned th* United States. Senator Johnson will return her* In March to further his Michigan campaign. Runaway Dirigible Safely In Hangar for Repairs Lakehurst, N. J. January. II.—(U.
