FORT WORTH, Dec. 1 An
peal for greater educational advan-

dress by Governor Pat Neff before
1 the Texas State Teachers association
here last night.
The governor deplored the fact
that Tex a.< ranks 34th in educational
efficiency and declared that an edu-
cation was the "richest legacy lh«
state can bequeath her children.”
In asserting that Texas had plenty
of money to afford better education-
al advantage, for children, Neff stat-
ed that Texans each year spend ap-
proximately |50,000,000 Tor candy;
3100,000,000 for tobacco and $15,000,-
000 for cold drinks.

According to information in rep-

on 'why the door was left open by
the reparations commission for the
American Government to be repre-
sented on the committee was that
the French, British, Italian nnd
Belgian governments were agreed
that American money would be es-
sential to any reasonable plan for
the restoration of the German fi-
nancial system.

Premier Poincare, it is declared,
did not expect Secretary of State
Hughes to refuse so quickly the
conditions insisted upon by France
for the original proposed inquiry
into Germany’s capacity to pay re-

it is said, that a period of nego-

S. It has more work to do—as
is usual with congress than it can
do between now and next June,
when the political conventions wilt
call a halt on legislative activities.
In a peculiar fashion, this new
congress is important to the Pres-
ident 6f the United States. He
faces his big test it is generally
recognized that upon Mr. Coolidge’s
success or failure with i
will depend his nomination
coming Republican national
vention.
Test With Message
The first test will come with his
message, which it is expected, he
will deliver in person Tuesday, be-
fore a joint session of the House
and Senate. That message will be
listened to with keenest attention
pnd deep respect, for, whatever
men may think of him as a poli-
tician, as a man they have much
respect for" Mr. Coolidge.
His message will be taken apart
in the most minute fashion, and
will be analyzed and interpreted in
every conceivable way, unless it is
so plain and forthright that there
is only one interpretation to be
put upon it.
In this connection^..many of his
friends hope he w>W make it blunt,
without use of exep*sipo\words, and
specific to the poinVtot plainness,
so that what he means to say
cannot be misconstrued, either by
the opposite party or by the
friends of other ambitious Repub-
lican aspirants to the nomination.
