A curiou.s thing ab. ut the project is
that it came a few days after the June'
l.bth i«*mi-annual payment of war
debts had lH*eii made. No other pay
ment is due until December 1'). Con
gress will meet eight days before the j
winter payment falls due and willj
have to act almost instantly if thej
plan is to be put into effect this year. |
B«*lween now and that time it is cer
tain that business men^ bankers an<l
farmers will bring pressure o bear
o.upon their representatives in congress
to make them fall in line behind the
f re.sident and nobody expe.ts but that
ithe plan will go thri.ugh. pruetlcally
ovs-rnight, when congress ga’hers.
If any further proof of the pre.si-

the favorabh* reaction of the stO'’k
exchange to liis propo.sal, and to the
fillip gAen bn.siness in geneial over

iolis, which preceded his war debt an-j
nouncement, is bein^ tj^cen by political |
observers here as embodying all the,
principal planks that will be placed in
the Republieali party's platform a
year hence. K contains all the con-j
structive pcjicies the party need*, itj
is asserted, winding up with its^.tHwen-j
ty-year plan” for American capital
ism which is designed aa an answer to

munistic teachings and will probably |
be featured in the appeal to the coun
try's voter# next year.
It is to be remarked that Mr. Hoov-j
er made absolutely no reference to
prohibition in the speech, an ii^ica-
jtion that the wet and dry issue is not
likely to be given much im3>ortance by
Ithe campaigners next year. Both par
ities look upon prohibition as a dan-}
gerous subject, certain to alienate}
many voters no matter what deciaion
is reached. At. a consequence the com
ing campaign is expected to sidestep
that subject, just as the president
omitted it in his talk to the Indiana
editors.
