Wan caustic denunciation and stinging irony, two of the former "irrecon riiUible" associates of Senator Borah In the historic league of nations tattle Senators Moses of New Hampshire and Johnson of Cali fornia yesterday poured the vials nf their disapproval on Borah's pro posal for a world economic and dis armament conference. "I am against it." said Johnson, 'because in even greater degree, and with less safeguards than the I 'ague of nations gave to us, it should emproil us irv European con troversies and finally make the l.'nlted 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 at as empire between England and Belgium on- one side and France and Italy on the other, in the rep utations muddle.

"The Speed Wagon is coming to be recognized as the leading car for thi- baking business," says Mr. Schoon f l the. Reo Sales Company. "Tiio well-managed bakeries o'f the land, of course, keep careful ac count of their delivery costs, and the use of 8ped Wagons is general because they haul a given amount ft bread cheaper and quicker. "In that connection, it is inter esting to note the conclusions of one o the largest baking concerns In the East, operating 18 baking plants in Pennsylvania. New Jersey and Delaware, and one of the larg est baking companies in the land. "A communication 'from this com pany to the Reo factory says: 'We have ben using Rpeed tVigom In the Trenton plant, and previoui to this had tried out all the other makes of cars suitable to this clacs of work. This company is now installing Speed Wagons In all of their 18 plants. We feel that there can b6 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 jwwer of the Speed Wagon cannot be excelled."

'The implication of what Is now rfoposed cannot be winked out of sight. The letter of the president contains some hint of them. If wc engage in any conference such as is outlined, or In any conference held prior to some earnest attempt on Europe's part to clean ber own house, we shall find ourselves in the anamalous and disagreeable po sition of making decisions between two equally balanced groups of con tenders." "Sooner or later" Moses sa,ld. "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 prob lems of Europe, such a course would not fail to emphasize to Europe what Europe most needs, a realisa tion of its own madness." Johnson declared "I would prefer a league of nations to this general ominous endeavor w hich was neither limitations nor spec!catlons." WARFARE ON BOOTLEGGING DRUG STORE KANSAS CITT-, Mo.. Dec.
