Prospects of Definite Settlement of
Trouble in Morocco.

Paris.-The government at last be-
iieves that there is good prospect
of definite settlement of the trouble
in Morocco. This will be based upon
the submission and elimination of Mu-

While negotiations with Mulai Ha-
fid have not yet actually begun, Cen
cral D'Amade, the French commander
in Morocco, telegraphs that supplica-
tons for peace have been received
from Hafid and his leaders. The gen
eral reports also that French troops
are camped outside the gates of Set
tat and that the pacification of the en-
tire Chaoula region is proceeding rap
idly.

Sydney.-There was dramatic
scene on Sunday at great gathering
of citizens when, at the conclusion of
an address on the subject of national
defense, the premier, Alfred Deakin,
read cablegram announcing that the
American fleet of battleships would
visit Sydney and Melbourne He called
for three cheers for the United States,
and the audience rose en- masse and
responded with deafening cheers.
The prime minister said that he was
sure that such welcome as an Amer
lean feet has never known outside of
its own country would be accorded it
by Australia, and the cheering that
followed this statement seemed evil
dence Of the fact that the Austral,
ians, one and all, have a feeling
stronger than mere friendship for the
American people and their navy.

nothing presents so difficult a problem

Beveridge's bill OF last year for a
Commission which should revise the
tariff fairly and scientifically did not
pass Yet It Is well-known that Con-
gress will never pay serious atten-
ton to the tariff advice OF anyone
but themselves. A great 9nd splen-
did commission in 1928 gathered the
best sort of information for Congress,
and yet the Tariff of 1888 was motor
iously an empty farce. The truth is
that the consressmen for each state
know that they can get tariffs which
will help the business men in their
particular district by voting for similar
high and perhaps unnecessary tariff
for other congressmen's district. Thus
the tariff is finally adjusted in such
way that one neighborhood pays a
high price for several commodities
in order that other neighborhoods
may be compelled to pay high
price for its protected products.
Now the great question which is
agitating the minds Of politicians here
is whether Mr.. Taft will have a friend
~ or a hostile Congress. The House
leaders, known as the Cannon crowd"
are opposed to two things which Taft
and Roosevelt desire.-uamely. an
honest and thorough tariff revision,
and laws appropriating money to save
our forests and our water power rights
on the great rivers. But the House
ring" have been made 70 feel that
their methods are arousing alarm n
mong the voters all over the country.
Therefore It is probable that they viii
offer to be just good enough so that IL
will not pay the President to fight
them by trying to elect another Speak
er in tile place Of Mr. Cannon. 1t Is
to be hoped that the ringleaders in
the House will consent to the ideas
Of Mr.. Taft so that a conflict will
be avoided The next fortnight will
determine this matter.
The work OF the coming "short ses-
sion" will be mainly to enact appro-
priation bills.
President Roosevelt would like 20
have some labor laws passed before
he leaves the White House, but the
matter of satisfying the demands Of
organised labor is too important and
too difficult to be successfully hand
led in the time which remains to the
present administration.
The President has high hopes Of con-
tributing a new bureau TO the national
government.-The Bureau OF Public
Health. Also, he will ask help for
his plans for the conservation Of ma
tional resources, such as forests, stone
coal, etc. But the great difficulty is
that no definite program has been ar
ranged to press upon Congress In re-
gard 70 this matter.
As to the Cabinet under Taft II is
being said that Mr.. Root Is so badly
needed at the present critical period
of our negotiations with Japan, that
he will not be allowed to resign and
