...President received Charles D. Hilles, onetime (1912-16) Republican National Committee Chairman, was advised to appoint Frederick C. Hicks, onetime (1915-23) Congressman from New York, to the post of Alien Property Custodian. Later, Mr. Hilles said that he himself would not accept a Cabinet post (TIME, Apr. 6). ¶The President addressed the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, of which Morgan Butler, son of Senator Butler of Massachuetts, is President. He defended the tariff: "The towering stature of our industrial tariff as we see it today is ... the complete vindication of this policy." He praised our free export policy...
...Customs. Most of the import duties of China are collected and administered by foreigners, chiefly British. Since these revenues are needed to pay the interest on China's foreign loans, it was thought unwise to abandon them to the graft-ridden officialdom of the old Em- pire.

...Socialist, Democrat and Catholic Parties, or Weimar coalition (socalled because these parties secured the passage at Weimar of the Republican Consitution in 1919), true to prediction, joined forces in support of coalition Candidate Wilhelm Marx, ex-Chancellor and leader of the Catholic Party.

The Democrats, opposed to a fusion with the Socialists, at first flirted with the Monarchists, but to no avail; later they definitely joined the Catholics...
...Protestant, is not espousing the Monarchist cause. As a Catholic, he will be anathema to many Protestants, atheists and extreme Socialists, who may well swell the Communist vote or fail to ballot altogether. It is fair to assume, however, that a very large majority of Socialists will place the Republican cause (not imminently threatened, for the Monarchists do not intend to change immediately the Republican form of Government) above their religious preferences. There are also fairly numerous dissident Catholic and Democrat factions which might conceivably vote the pro-monarchist ticket...
...right; but our country, right or wrong." The New York World has an even longer battle-cry, a rhetorical utterance by Joseph Pulitzer defining the whole duty of newspapers. The chaste New York Times says merely : "All the news that's fit to print." The Springfield Republican lets it go at: "All the news, and the truth about it." The Louisville Courier-Journal clinches matters with ''Largest Morning Circulation of any Kentucky Newspaper." The Wall Street Iconoclast, recklessly: "The truth, no matter whom it helps or hurts...
