THE HOUSTON POST: SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL 26.. 1919
Barrage of Criticism
Thundered at Wilson
by London Newspapers
f ! y (ContiwiecJ From Ps One.)
- ' Eve great power represented at Paris
'it it is to become a living reality may
find iU existence other than on paper
practically terminated before it has be-
( gun. We sincerely hope that sneh a ca-
:. ta strophe may be even yet avoided; all
. the mediating good will ot France and
Great Britain and all the rare gifts for
'.conciliation possessed by the British
lrime minister will assuredly be directed
"i to this cud."
The Daily Herald a newly established
; and extremely radical almost bolsheviki
r London morning journal blames alt al-
i' lied delegates almost equally. It says:
1 r Views of Radical Organ.
! "The crisis is directly stimulated by
; the treacherous desertion on the part of
the allied secret diplomats of the ideal-
. istic aims for which tho bulk of the al-
- lied peoples gave their blood. There
were from the first two utterly irrccon-
Y'rilable principles face to face. The sol-
1 Sdiera died for the first and openly ex-
. Jpressed ideal a world made safe for
nomocracy. The diplomats schemed for
- the other pinch all you can get and
.-keep it. irrespective of right and justice.
1 1 "The Italian demands are only the
: latest example of the imperialism which
dominates the councils of all the allies.
V- '"The Tine pretensions of the war for
- freedom are gone. Kight and justice are
vpenly flouted."
rvThe Morning Post the big gun of the
SoRI-Tories -and the more or loss inde-
pendent Teletrrapli. as well as the Daily
lafl and Express. Lord Itoaverbrook's
sensational morning daily all duck the
Issue and are silent the latter only going
o far as to declare that in the present
great crisis the Kcglish people must i
trust and stand behind the premier.
Lord Northcliffe's chief paper the
Times prints c long and fervent appeal
to Italy. It concludes: .
"Fierce passions have been aroused in
Italy and we .can not feel assured that
the reasoned ' eloquence of Mr. Wilson's
address or the knowledge that r.nglaivi
and France approve its general conclu-
sions will prevail aeainst them. Hut as
sincere friends of the Italian people fa
miliar with their fundamental common
sense and with the sagacity which has so
often distinguished their statesmanship.
we cherish the firm hope that right and
reason will overcome tjie dictates ot a
narrow and shortsighted diplomat. The
decision is in Italy's hands. It will af-
fect her whole future and the whole
future of the Vorld."
Approves Wilson's Stand.
The laily News chief liberal organ of
London sees the final death grapple be-
tween the old find new diplomacy and is
entirely sympathetic witn President w u
son's nosition. It savs:
"There can no longer be any doubt of
the gravity of the crisis wnicn has caused
President Wilson to issue the appeal
published today. Such a step would
clearly never have been taken except as
a last resource after the failure of all
private negotiations. What will follow it
would be idle to speculate.
"What is clear now is that the two
antagonistic principles which have been
in more or less veiled conflict through-
out the deliberations of the conference
have met in a death grapple. One or the
other must now yield and the defent will
in all probability be final. If President
Wilson s principles are to prevail all
claims such as those which Italy is now
advancing must be abandoned not tem-
porarily but permanently. No rights
whether secured by secret treaties or
otherwise can henceforth be allowed as
valid which conflict with the essential
principle of self-determination."
HO INTOXICANTS ON
SALE IN HOUSTON
NOW SAYS KEELING
Assistant Attorney General
Reports Finding No Trace
of Booze Here
Houston Post Special.
Al'STIX Texas April 23. Upturning
Friday from Houston where he had
been several days investigating the liquor
Situation First Assistant Attorney Gen
eral W. K. Keeling saiau mat ne was
given hearty co-operation by the city
and county officials and that he was
much pleased with the result of his
Visit. Judge Keeling said that as far as
be knew there is riot a drop of intoxicat-
ing liquor sold in Houston now.
With reference to the injunction
brought by Ed Haubelt of Houston to
restrain the attorney general from in-
terfering with his business. J'.idge Keel-
ing said that the district judge before
whom the suit has been brought has not
yet given a decision that application for
a temporary injunction bas been set
down for hearing on May 1. In the mean-
time. Judge Keeling said Haubelt's place
t business is not in operation. Judge
Keeling will represent the attorney gen
eral when the suit comes up for bearing.
In his petition for injunction Haubelt
who is one of the parties named in the
injunction issued by District Judge
George Calhoun at Austin Tuesday re
quests the judge of the Eightieth district
of Harris county to enjoin Attorney Gen
eral V. M. Uurcton Searcy Maker su
perintendent of police of the city of
Houston and T. A. Binford sheriff of
Harris county from interfering with him
in tne sale of liquor.
In the event the injunction prayed for
by Haubelt is granted it is not known
what effect it will have. Opinions were
expressed that the papers from Austin in
J Calhoun would first have to be examined
I before such a status could be determined.
I In his petition Haubelt states accord
ing to information received bere that he
has on band a large stock ef intoxicating
liquors and beverages and alleges he has
a I nit en states revenue license expiring
July 1 which legally entitles him to sell
tne liquor.
