COOLIDGE LIKELY TO URGE LOAN TO EUROPE TO BUY U. S. GRAIN
HOPES TO
MEET?
CRISES
Would Aid Starving Germans
and Northwest Farmers.
Johnson's Attitude.
By WILLIAM HARD.
Every dopester in Washington
is spending his time today telling
every other dopester what is go
ing to be in Senator Johnson's
speech tomorrow in Chicago and
what is going to be in President
Coolidge’s message to Congress a
week ffom tomorrow and what
will be the results on the action
taken immediately afterward by
the Republican Presidential pri
mary proposal convention in South
Dakota in choosing between the
two candidates.
" The rumor is strongly current
that the President may try to kill
the farming question and the
European question with one stone
by suggesting that the United
States advance money to Europe
with which to buy grain from
American grain growers.
Coolidge To Be Decisive.
It Is accepted as undeniable that
what the President may say about
Europe and what the President may
eay about the sad condition of many
American grain growers will be po
litically the two decisive parts of his
message.
On the subject of taxes. Senator
Johnson tn Chicago Is bound by his
own record to defend the soldiers’
bonus and to resist any mrsnurcn
which would make the payment of
the soldiers* bonus impossible. Every
candidate, however, is going to be ex
tremely ingenious in proving that
can b* reduced without inter
fering with bis own favorite meas
ures on which he wishes to spend
money.
President Coolidge is thought to be
likely to recommend the spending of
money in Europe, either byway of
gift or byway of adventurous loan
to impoverished European elements,
whether this rumor is true or false,
the fact remains that outright char
itable relief to sufferers in Germany
is strongly supported in his Admin
istration quarters and is likely to
make considerable headway in Con
gress. r j
It Is thereupon forcefully sug
gested in quarters equally high that
- We going to give outright re->
lief to Germans we might extremely ‘
Properly give it also to many of
our own northwestern farmers who
in certain districts will presently in
large numbers be evicted from their
farms by their creditors.
In fact among some of the Pres
ident’s best informed party col
leagues it is now contended that
both the condition of sufferers in
Germany and the condition of suf
ferers in our northwest should be
treated equally as conditions de
manding relief by outright char
itable gift, just as in the case of suf
ferers from earthquake or fire.
Money to Be Spent.
According to this view of the mat
ter we would make frank direct ap
propriations for relief of distress in,
Germany and in the northwest and
we would avoid the subterfuge of
pretending that a guaranteed price
for wheat is in fact in Itself any
thing but a gift.
In any event, by one means or
another, there is going to be spend
ing of money on soldiers and on
farmers .and on various other sorts
of persons, Including perhaps desti
tute Germans; and every candidate
is going to make out that neverthe
less certain other economies are
possible which will make a reduc
tion of the tax-burden readily
feasible.
It is not believed here that the
candidates will differ much among
themselves as lovers of reduced
taxes
It is on the other hand more and
more believed that what the candi
dates say on the subject of Europe,

and what they say on the subject
of the northwestern farmers may
go far toward distinguishing them
from one another and may have a
most weighty influences upon their
fates. >
It Is believed that South Da
kota, for Instance, which next week
tn its State convention on the
Presidential • preference • primary
will step off as number one in
the long line of Presidential pref
erence primary States, is now en
gaged in sitting on the fence be
tween Johnson and Coolidge precise
ly in order to hear what they
have to say on these two sub
jects.
Division of Strength.
Johnson in South Dakota has
the support of Governor McMaster
and of United States Senator Nor
beck. Coolidge has the support of
United States Senator Sterling, who
is very strong among Federal em
ployes in South Dakota because
of his steady work on their behalf
in Washington.
The Presidential preference prim
ary State convention in South
Dakota is scheduled to meet on the
same day on which President Cool
idge delivers his message to Con
gress in Washington. The conven
tion, It is believed, will adjourn for
a day in order to be sure that it
gets a full chance to read Presi
dent Coolidge’s message before
reaching its decision.
It will then reach that decision
very largely on an immediate com
parison between Coolidge’s message
and Johnson’s speech; and the points
on which it will compare them, ac
cording to the best reports here re
ceived, will be the points of farming
policy and of foreign policy.
Meanwhile the public may rest as
' sured of one homely human fact.
Neither candidate has the slightest
idea what the Northwest really
thinks; and neither candidate has the
slightest idea how the agricultural
depression problem really can be
solved; and nobbdy else here has.
either, unless he is a fakir or a nut;
and each candidate, after listening
to hundreds of conflicting reports
regarding Northwestern sentiment
and to hundreds of conflicting the
ories and quackeries regarding what
to do with more wheat than the
world can buy, is scratching his head
and wearily scribbling away like a
school boy writing a composition
which he perfectly honestly thinks
ought to be at least as good as any
other boy’s guess for the prize.

Prayer Answered—She
Lives to See Birthday
Cake Lighted.
By International News Service.
CAMDEN, N. J., Nov. 26.—The
prayer of little Helen Hamilton that
she might live to enjoy her thir
teenth birthday has been answered.
Helen, who is suffering from an
incurable heart ailment, was thir
teen today, and happily her condi
tion was better than it has been
in many days.
Propped up in bed, the child
thrilled over the gifts showered
upon her. Presents, many from
distant cities, were piled high about
her. The candles on her birthday
cake—the child’s inspiration to live
during recent weeks—were lighted.
A Philadelphia heart specialist be
lieved he was to bring the girl the
greatest gift of all—his prediction
that the child might be cured and
live a number of years.
“But I don’t want to live if I
must suffer so. However, God’s
will, not mine, must be done,”
Helen said.
Helen attracted nation-wide atten
tion two weeks ago when, at the
point of death, she, with her
widowed mother, was evicted from
the one-room hovel in which she
lived. Her landlady insisted the
sick girl was a bother. Physicians
said to move the girl would cause
instant death. But the child sur
vived.
Since then gifts have come from
cities in every part of the United
States. Two presents of money
were received from London, and
one from Paris.
"Everybody is so kin^ —but I
just wanted to live until today so
that I could see the candles on my
cake lighted,” Helen said.
“Now I am happy."
