An indication Of the attitude of
President Harding and his administra.
ton to matters Of turbulence among
our Latln-American neighbOrs was
polntedly brought out In strong notes
dispatched by Secretary of State
Hughes which had the effect OF halt
ing hostilities between Costa Rica
and Panama. Although couched In
most courteous and diplomatic Ian.
guage, the notes in reality were the
eagles scream, warning the countries
that the territorial boundaries Of
Panama had been fixed by previous
arbitration award made by Chief JUS
tice White, and that they are the con-
Germ of this government which can
not regard forcible measures by either
party as justifable. The belligerents
were told to settle their differences
by orderly procedure.

BY e. r. CLIPSON.

European affairs have taken anoth-
err Kaleidoscope turn and as usual
Germany is the pivot of interest, with
the remainder of the world speculat-
ing as to what form the next devel-
opments will assume.
Occupation of the German towns or
Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort In
an attempt by the allies to enforce
compliance with the terms of repara-
ton was accomplished quietly and so
far no very spectacular results have
occurred. 1t is true the German am
bassadors to London, Paris and Brus-
sells have been recalled to Berlin, but
the move is not characterized as
severance of diplomatic relations;
rather. it is more in the nature of
protest calculated to have some effect
upon the present situation or future
negotiations. Such negotiations APP
pear to be probability after each
side has sized up the other and de-
termined about how far it is likely
to go.
Inasmuch as the ambassadors have
been more closely in touch with con-
ditions in the allied countries than
the heads of the German government,
their counsels are needed at home at
this time before Germany decides
upon the ultimate degree of bluff, OF
capitulation or of resistance which 1t
shall employ. No warlike preparations
have been reported from Germany and
nothing revealing Il coalesced plan of
action among German leaders. Omi-
nous quiet, seems TO describe the stu
alton. with here and there flash
possibly presaging future action by
one or another of the many factions
in the country. Labor, especially the
radical wing, is expected to play a
prominent part and already there has
been talk of a general strike as pro-
test. an immediate economic factor
and a general bid for the sympathy
of workers i'm the allied countries and
elsewhere.
The strike weapon would appear to
be sort Of modified suicide no.
tice to the allies that "if you attempt
TO collect the indemnities from us in
goods or customs, we will ruin our
selves industrially so that there may
be no goods or customs duties avail
able" That protest strike would
| continue long is not regarded as prob
able. It's chief value would lie in It's
effect on the immediate situation--its
influence upon France, which needs
money and homes to get II from the
occupied territory and through the
customs houses which the allies are
establishing along the Rhine.
The danger that Germany will 90
! Bolshevik and unite with Russia
seems TO be mitigated considerably
by the present state Of affairs in the
latter country where the soviet au-
| thorities are contendIng with n size
| able revolution. The danger Of Rus
sian aid 10 Germany seems past and
the only menace remaining Is that
Germany will attempt to give military
assistance To Russia. Germany has
plenty Of men, but after the dis
mantling of her military power, which
already has occurred under the Yer
sailles treaty, the degree Of assist
ance which she could lend in the way
of highly essential guns, munitions
and other implements Of war Is a
question, and the question vastly con.

After the usual formalities attend
ant upon the nomination and confirma-
tion of cabinet heads and n few other
important officials, the new national
administration got under way with It's
announced program Of a get-togeth-
er between the executive and legisla-
tive branches of the government.
This was started by dinner at the
White House TO the Republican lead
ers in the senate and house. Presi-
dent Harding announced that he con-
templates calling an extra session of
the Sixty-seventh congress not later
than April IL.
The fact that peace with Ger
many, the League Of Nations and 9TH
er questions Of foreign relations were
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1921-03-17

not touched upon at the dinner, but
that domestic reconstruction problems
formed the bulk Of the discussion,
makes 1t a practical certainty that
the latter will receive first considera-
ton at the coming session. Tax re-
vision seems to have the right of way
over other questions and after 1t
comes the tariff, the problem being
to lessen burdens and at the same
time provide adequate revenues. If
the excess profits tax Us repealed,
economies In governmental eXpendi-
lures will have to be instituted and
additional revenue from imports and
perhaps other sources will be re-
quired.
President Harding has intimated
that an emergency tariff may be pro-
posed. but that final disposition of
the tariff question will await the rec
concentrations of new tariff com
mission to be constituted along scien-
tific lines. This commission Is yet to
be appointed and its deliberations nee
eSsarily will be prolonged, so that the
ultimate tariff bill of this administra-
| ton does not loom as a very near pos
| slbility.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
| has announced himself definitely for
economies and for the establishment
of national budget system. In a
letter to the banks Of the country he
has declared that, while the figures as
to the public debt and the current
! operations of the treasury show that
the finances of the government are in
sound position, the situation calls
for the utmost economy. The letter
siderable detail and winds up with
the statement: 1.-THE people generally
must become more fntert red in saw
ing the governments III, y than In
spending it. A thorough-going nation
nj budget system must be estab-
lished and the governments expenses
brought into relation to its income"
Ever since Brig. Gen. Charles G.
Dawes announced himself so posi-
lively before a congressional commit
tee on the subject of unbusiness-
like methods I'm the national depart
ment3, and other matters, there has
been persistent talk that this admin
istration would take energetic action
TO reduce criticism in this respect
Accordingly the President has gone
over tentative plans with joint com
mlttee from house and senate now
holding sessions in Washington. The
plans which White House advice'
state are approved by the President
and will have the cooperation Of the
cabinet, call for a reorganization Of
the executive departments TO sys
tematize administration, eliminate
duplication and reduce exp nses. L

Advices are TO the effect that all
Russia Is in q ferment and that the
Bolshevik authorities, if they have
not a real revolution to contend with
just now, are likely to have 1t soon.
The past winter, which has augment
ed the sufferings of the people to
degree beyond anything before expert
enced. the constant warfare under
soviet rule and lastly, the attempt to
coerce labOr--mobiliZe is the word
that has been used-and make 1t a
part of the property of the state along
with goods, lands, ETC., has strained
the communist scheme to the breaking
point. People all over the country
are reported to be deathly sick of the
plan and In a mood to try revolution
believing that any change must be an
Improvement
Heretofore the strength of the Lenin
and TrotZky government has existed
in its military establishment. Sol
diers were fed and clothed even If
others starved and froZe. This made
military duty attractive and rendered
big, efficient army possible. The
significant feature of the present rev.
olution is that 1t was started by sol
diers and sailors, the very forces
which started and upheld the soviet
experiment.
The revolutlonists seized the great
fortress of Kronstadt and several of
the minor defenses Of Petrograd. At
this writing struggle for the city 1t
self is on with the deciding fortunes
still I'm doubt. Authentic news is
meager, but enough has seeped
through to indicate that the disturb
ance is not mere flash in the pan.
The fact that the attack was started
at the seat of government, that the
city has been bombarded heavily and
that sangulnary encounters have
taken place i'm its streets, also that
the Red forces from other parts of
the country, including the famed
army Of General Budenny, have been
summoned TO its defense, is enough
TO Indicate that the affair Is de
termined movement against the whole
soviet regime.

mean the relightng of the war torch
all over Europe.
The allies were not of unanimous
program, but they were driven to
united action through the necessity Of
showing solid front. Whatever de-
velops in Germany even to Joining
with Russia, the allies are in a
strategic position to deal with 1t
through their military establishments
and the fact that they already are in
German territory and can strike
unitedly and quickly.
While the threatened strike of pack
ing house employees ali over the
United States against reductions in
wages and changes in hours of EN-
ployment has elements of serious
ness, it is not definitely, at this writ
ing, beyond settlement. President
Harding's influence may bring results
but If ii does not, there is court
weapon which Is likely to delay the
more drastic effects If 1t does not STOP
them entirely. Singularly, this
weapon, an injunction, is proposed by
the employees instead of, as usually
has been the case, by the employers.
Inasmuch as the scale of wages anc
hours was fixed by arbitration during
war times, the employees contend
that sudden altering without due
consideration and conference between
all parties affected, is unwarranteC
and that the court should grant n re
straining order against the packers
