English Laborite Ministry to Fall, Says MacDonald
But Europe Generally Move Toward Socialism,Adds Son of British Premier
A Conservative ministry will probably come into power after the elections in England, to be held a November, headed by Stanley Baldwin, with accolades to Maledonic Mae Baldwin, in an interview this morning.
"The Labor government never had a majority in Parliament. It came on the question of protection, of labor protection, of protection. They did not think it could be of service to the country. Or, the other hand, the matter caller for the new election was comparatively less informed. The receiver receives a vote of consent, it has no resource except to the electorate. It is up to the people to decide whether the government in power was pursuing the proper policy or not."
Socialism to Stay
Mr. McDonald added that there is much less unemployment now than ever before since the end of the war, and he also said that his purpose well. He continued that socialism has come into England to stay, and that it is not a mere passing phrase. Moreover, he pointed out that his office in the Group is in the direction of socialism.
"Although socialism is still considered dangerous and radical in America, it is an accepted fact in Europe," said Mr. MacDonald. "Practically every major country except Spain and Italy has adopted it in some form or another. And in the case of these countries, I expect that this will be very long. The Musolini regime expects is a temporary one, and will be replaced shortly with a more democratic form."
When asked regarding the League of Nations, Mr. MacDonald said that it is functioning as well as it can be expected, considering that two or three large countries, whose presence would be influential, are still members.
Kansas Audiences Friendly
it failed lamentably in certain matters, for example the Corfu incident. But it could not enforce its dictum without an open break with Italy, and it can have only as much power as the members are willing to give to it. In other matters, however, and under the Muslim leadership, the boundary dispute between Lithuania and Poland, the refugee relics in the Near East, it has performed admirably.
Kansas Audiences Friends
The other two members, M. C. Hollis and J. D. Woolfrust, were also interviewed. Both expressed some surprise at the friendness of a Kansas audience especially in the quiet prohibition.
"We did not expect such feeling here," said Mr. Woodruff. "Even it centers with large foreign populations, such as Guatemala and Mexico." Detroit, where the sentiment is supposed to be strongly anti-prohibition, we felt more hostility toward our opinions than here. Last night we took the stage with a great audience that would be inimical to the audience"

Mr. Hollis was asked by the reporter whether he felt that he was debating a hospice publication last night before a Kansas audience.
"Of course," replied Mr. Hollis, "we realized that we were in 'enemy territory' when we came to Kansas to discuss such a delicate situation this would prevent our true feelings on a vital question. The overwhelming array of statistics and the efficiency arguments of our opponents in the debate last night quelled us not in the least. We enjoy seeing her face, especially the acrobatic talent displayed by one of the opponents."
Change in Politics Expected
All of the Oxfordians expressed the opinion that if the sentiment in the East is any criticism, Coolidge would win the presidency by being elected. But all showed a surprise at the growth of liberal and radical thought in the country, saying that they expected a great change in American politics next few years. The exponent of the view expressed by Senator LaFolllette would wield a great

Linen Withstands Germs

Oxford, England — 21-11. "A piece of linen sent to our Research department recently from London, though 6000 years old, was found to be as perfect structurally as the linens we are making today."
This was the statement made by W. H. Webb, chairman of the Irish Linen Society, this week at Oxford, where he said that genius of decay would have nothing to do with linen. Similarly, he said, the windings found in 1841 on the monkey of Ramses II, who oppressed the time, were still perfect.
The supply of flax from Russia, he pointed out, had collapsed, but the Empire Flax Growing Association had secured samples of flaxseed that four years of breeding experiments the best plants continued true to type. They would secure shortly a greatly increased length of fiber and by improved maturation, they would charge on linen manufacture would probably be capable of reduction.

There they will go into Illinois and Canada, through Canada to Vancouver, and down the Pacific constate into Washington, Oregon and California, and from there to Australia, going from there to Australia and on around the world.

Salvation Army Budget More Than Half Raised
More than half of the $31,111 budget fund of the local Salvation Army has been raised for this year, according to an announcement made Tuesday night at a check-up meeting of the leaders held at the Ekkie Club.

Mr. Lowman said that Lawrences was "sold" on the value of the Naval Mission Army's work here, and that all that is needed is for the companies to spend some time in collecting the funds.
Collection of the money will continue this week so that all parts of the city may be covered.

His general argument outline was that America needed sane convictions and that the history of civility in England印汉 could as a social lubricant. He then launched into a discussion of the principles of prohibition.
The audience, composed largely of University faculty and students, registered their appraisal as to whether they were strongly or slightly influenced by the discussion, according to the English custom.

ment," he said, "for every objection to prohibition has been thrashed out in Kansas. If England had prohibition, she could save enough in five years." In the United States, "Morgan can defend, drawing the applause of the audience."
Hollis For Moderate Drink
M. C. Hollis, former president of Oxford union and a representative of Bailid college, Oxford, said he felt that he should have acted when he began his main speech.
Mr. Hollis contended that his opponent argued for prohibition on the grounds of "the evils of drink," whereas the real question was, "Is drinking moderately harmful or not moderate drink is far more beneficial as a means to better sociability and to t2 gain smoother relations man to man, than it is an evil." It is absurd to say that alcohol is poisonous when it has been used by the human race ("wives"), he said, admitting he was willing to induce in such a mild poison.
Martin Dickinson, the second negative speaker, matched the railway of the Oxford men when he opened with a reimporter to Mr. Woodruff's reference to the use of statistics in debates. He continued, "personal liberty is not infringed upon by prohibition. For when men drink as they please, sit beneath a table towards personal liberty is that of protection the waker and not; "The right to go wrong," as M. C. Hollis expressed ke."
Speaks of Debt
gauss's argument concerning the payment of the British debt. "I thought Mr. Morgan had a soul when he began, but it was a very souls-less argument he advanced when he suggested publication in England in order that the war debt might be paid yet it was not. He said he did so until Mr. McDonald. He then explained that explicit arrangements had been made to pay the debt within 69 years. Howard Fisk, in closing the main speeches for the negative toused his prepared speech acide and launched into a drama about the necessity of reading dull statistics by presenting his Oxford opponents with the whole bundle of prepared figures, and even delighted ti m with waving the American flag as Woodruff had predicted. "Public opinion has been the deciding factor," said Fisk. "The political parties have found the Net plank slippery."
Time Limit Not Enforced In the rebuttal, Morgan and Fisk represented Kansas, Mr. Hollis and Mr. Woodruff represented Oxford. The time given to general argument was 15 minutes and for rebutting, five minutes. The time limit was not vigidely enforced.
Prof. B. A. Gikliskion, ff the department of public speaking, coached the Kansas team. According to Professor Grisham, they had a compliment admission. In addition to complimentary tickets, 1350 student activity stubs were stored at the door.
