mendations for the army and navy on
Congress. The5 are asking for huge
appropriations. which are entirely out
o. harmony with the Republican de-
mand for reduction of government ex-
penses. AS neither of these men will
have anything to do with the army and
navy when this money is spent, il was
suggested that the present Congress
should pay no attention to these gen
tlemen, but should know what Mr.. Har-
ding has i'll mind.
The same argument was presented
all along the line Mr. Harding. it is
sound and despite his reluctance to
assuming the duties of President be-
fore actually being inaugurated, de-
cided to issue the calls. for tn" visits
10 Marion which began to-day.
While the names OF only a few men,
Mr. Good, Senator McCumber, House
Floor Leader Moniell and Representa-
tives Anthony and Kelly, have been an
nounced as summoned to Marion, 1t is
understood the list of those yet to
came is q long one.
The budget. taxation, tariff and reor-
ganization of government departments
are subjects on which it is expected
Mr.. Harding Will advise Congress fully
as TO his views. While nothing will be
done by this Congress on taxation and
general tariff legislation, it is felt that
Congressional leaders must know eX-
actly what is in Mr.. Harding's mind if
they are to proceed intelli gently in
making appropriations. 1t will be up
to the Republicans in the next Con
gress to raise the money that will be
appropriated before March f.
Reorganization of the executive dc
partments on an economical and
efficient basis is one cf the big prob
lens before the Republican Admins
tration. Mr.. Harding is pledged to do
this. As yet Congressional leaders
have had no suggestion on the subject
from the President-elect. although it is
understood that he is not particularly
pleased with the passage of the Smoot-
Reavis bin for this purpose. The
trouble with this measure is that it
would have Congress reorganize the
executive departments, whereas the Job
IS one that belongs to the incoming
President
'It is up TO the Executive to clean
his own house, d prominent Repub-
lican said, discussing the subject to-
day.
Congress and the President cleo
must get together on the method of re-
organization, or it is pointed out. thev
Will find themselves pulling against
each other at the start. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Harding will tell his Con.
gressional callers how he purposes r.
put efficiency into the executive de-
partments. When Congress gets this
information it will be in a position to
draft appropriation bills in accordance
with the probable needs of the next
years.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-President-
elect Harding has assumed personal
leadership of the Republicans in both
House and Senate He has been
driven, cajoled and argued into the d.
rection of Congress not only before his
Inauguration as President, but against
his election views as to his proper
functions.
Mr. Harding was fond Of saying shat
he liked the old-fashioned idea of the
Constitution which provided for three
distinct divisions of the government
executive, Legislative and judicial
But with the inauguration still two
months off he has been compelled to
recognize the necessity of bossing Con-
gress. mostly by the anxious argu-
Congress.
The argument has been forcibly made
to Mr.. Harding in the last week that he
could not escape responsibility for the
work Of the present Congress,
despite the fact that technically it
expires the day of his inaucura
tion. Mr. Harding, it was said, finally
admitted that this is true, in
aslnuch as the present session of Con
gress is appropriating money Which
will be spent in the fiscal year begin
ming July ! next.
Chairmen Seek instructions
|. The pilgrimage Of chairmen Of I'M
portant committees to Marion. begin
ming with those of Chairman Good Of
the House Appropriations Committee.
and Senator Porter j. McCumber, of
North Dakota, acting chairman Of the
Senate Finance Committee, means the
Senate and HOUSE leaders are going for
, Instructions. The legislation they
champion on their return vii. conform
to what are to be the TsarCing policies
in the next Administration.
When he was here at the opening
session Mr.. Harding suggested in a
general way what he thought should be
done in the short session of CONGRESS-.
He laid down nothing specific He let
it be known that he did not wish
to presume to be President until
March a.
NepuUllCaH leiNefS mere, however,
soon discovered that such policy
would result in serious trouble. While
Mr.. Harding took the position that he
should not interfere in any way with
Congress so long as Mr.. Wilson was
President, recent visitors to Marion
have suggested to him in rather strong
terms that now was the time for the
new President to tell Congressional
leaders what his policies were to be.
In no other way, he was told, would
he be able to carry his ideas into i'm
mediate execution.
The appropr' tons which this Con-
gress Will make do not become effec-
tive until four months after Mr. Har-
ding shall have been inaugur&ted. Not
one cent of the money, except de-
iciency appropriations, will be ex-
pended by the Wilson Administration.
Therefore, it was urged upon Mr.. Har-
ding that Congress should be taking
his advice rather than that of Presi-
dent Wilson or members of the prcsi-
dents Cabinet.

Another complication which bears on
this situation is the Chinese consor-

and for a good reason-the unsettled
state of India. where the fanatic.
Gandhl, has risen to plague British
rule as it has not been plagued IN
nifty years. No one knows what Will
happen in India, but Britain must re-
main constantly on guard, and it is
highly essential that she must know
exactly what policies Japan intends to
follow.
The war has completely changed the
status Of the dominions, and the entire
British mmonwealth is undergoing a
process of reorganization. The impe-
rial government is most anxious to
preserve present relations with the
dominions, and it is certain that o
alliance with the Japanese would be
allowed to interfere with these rclo
tons.
Japanese immigration will be one
of the hardest problems to be handled
by the imperial premie1s at their mec.-
ing next May. but in the mean time
events in this connection are moving
SO rapidly that the situation may be
changed long before that time.

Local Red Cross May Give Course
 In Care of Sick

There was a meeting of the Red Cross last evening for the purpose of deciding whether the chapter shall have an enrolled Red Cross nurse come to Wrangell and give a course in Home Fly giene and care of the sick. The chapter has sufficient funds in the treasury to pay the expenses of having the course given in Wrangell. All those present at the meeting seemed to favor the proposition, provided there are enough people in town who desire to take the course to justify the chapter in going to the expense of bringing an enrolled nurse to Wrangell. A motion prevailed that the chair appoint commit tee to canvas the town to ascer- tain how many persons are desir- ous of enrolling for the course, which is absolutely free, and open to whites and Natives alike. The chairman appointed the following committee: Mrs. w. W. Me Laughlin, chairmen; Mrs. W. J. Carruthers, Mrs. William Tama- rec, Mrs. M. o. Johnson, Mrs. Oscar Carlson. The committee will make its report at a meeting which has been called for next Monday evening at 7:30 at the Town Hall. A full attendance of the chapter is desired at this meeting.
