Mayofjust "Comments"
on Moore's Charges
l
Mayor Smith made brief comment
today on tho charges of Congress
man Moore.
Mr. Mooro said the Mayor,
through his bonding company,
profited to the amount of 25,000
on subwny contracts nnd "there
were still greater profits In sight."
At Shawnce-on-thc-Dclawarc the I
Mavor said today:
"I am not responsible for the
statements or mis-statements of

BIG ISSUE OF CAMPAIGN
Mayor Smith's prAnlums on bond
ing.subway contracts amounted to $23,
000. This is the charge made by Congress
man Moore, Independent candidate for
the mayoralty nomination.
People who want to sec the city do
big things, said Mr. Moorp, in re
ferring to the subway operations, "do
not want the contractors to get their
contracts from the Mayor odd then linvc
the Mayor get premiums from the
bonds on the contracts."
Contractors and their connection with
the Major through the bonding busi-

At the now famous White House emference with the Committee on Foreign
Relations President Wilson emphasized the moral obligation resting upon the Senate to
ratify the Peace Treaty as it stands. '
THE LITERARY DIGEST of August 30th cites numerous leading newspapers which
have taken up this question Vith ardor. "The first, the imperative duty of this country,"
says the Jersey' City Journal, is to make the Treaty effective and then "to join the other
civilized countries of the trlobe in an honest effort to make peace lasting," ' and the
Philadelphia Inquirer maintains that America "can never return to a sane basis until tlie
Peace Treaty is disposed of and actual peace is brought about." Tlie opposition view is
voiced by the Hartford Couranl, which feels that while "benefit all round" should result
from the conference tlie Senators will not be "stampeded by the President's plea for
urgency." Senator Lodge hints at delays in his statement that "we all respect and share" the
desires of those who want a Peace League, but "some of us see no hope, but rather defeat,
for them in this murk covenant."
