Congress Has Not Abandoned Hope
Of Being Able to Cut y. S. Budget

,,,n,or hv advancing democratic ideas too
strongly. Many democrats admit that Presi-
dent Harding has made a splendid running
start toward popularizing his ADMINISTRATION
X X
Evervthfne is apparently set" for the con-
yenng of the disarmament conference In TINS
capital in November. the anniversary OF armls-
tice day, the probable date and talk IN dipio-
matte and official circles here centers aoou'
the approaching event.
It is accepted foregone conclusion in the
majority sentiment heard expressed that the
conference will prove to be one OF the impor-
tant diplomatic gatherings in the worlds MIS-
tory and that it will abound in possibilities OF
action of SURPRISING gravity and importance
to the worlds affairs. That its deliberations
may in their effect though not in terms. go
beyond even far east and Pacific problems Is
considered not at all improbable
In this connection 1t is held that acquiescence
by other nations in this governments insistence
unon M preliminary conferences leaves the way
omen for wider scope of subjects to be consid-
cred. 1t is not conceded that Japan has yet
established her contention that certain spe-
Gifted subjects shall be eliminated from the
purview of the conference The other parties
to the meeting may not find themselves willing
to agree to this Limitation when they meet. 1t
would not be surprising. 1t is said. II. instead
of curtaiing. the conference should broaden its
discussion of world affairs, or pave the way for
future consideration.
It has been suggested that the trail OF in
ternational finance may be expected to be dis
closed at this conference as 1t was asserted to
have been at Paris, and that money will whisper
IL it does not talk. This all sounds very
mysterious to the layman, but the warning has
been given look out for it.
The point has been made that all of the
countries except England will send representa-
tives of ministries which have changed since
the Paris meeting. Lloyd George appears to
be slated to represent Great Britain unless the
faction opposed to him precipitates general
election. and the dpomatists seem inclined to
look upon him the master mind in some
plan to give his country preponderance of in
fuence If possible.
X X X
Experienced displomatists say that in the
conference there may be expected changes in
aligments among the nations various aspects
of the big problems are presented. and that
no hard and fast combination forming a bal
ance of power is likely to last throughout the
meeting Japan. it is said. however. does not
feel altogether reassured upon this point and
indicates entertainment of apprehension that
in the changing alignments she may some
how find herself in the minority questions
in which she considers herself vitality inter-
ested and more so than other nations.

Careful surveys Of the political frame Of
mind of the democratic party In Congress 1all
to develop that it indicates anything at pres
ent more definite than the hope of the re-
publcans getting tangled up in the slack OF
popular diseruntlement and sthe democratic
party benefting thereby. Give the repuo-
licans more rope" seems to express the pre-
vailing democratic idea at this time. with the
hopeful belief that sooner or later the oppo-
sition will trip and stumble.
There is something majestic in the way the
republicans go numbering along In the MIDST
of the difficulties which surround them cog
INFANT but unafraid. 1t reminds one of big
elephant crashing his way along path ABOUND
ing in pitfalls. snares and ambushes. but Keep
ing a-soing confident it will by main force
break through to safety somehow,
The republicans appreciate the fluid state Of
party opinion in the country and that they
have no infallble means Of impoundtng 1t to
their advantage through summons to party
LOYALTY but must do it through actual per-
formance in the face of great difficulties which
will win the appreciation of the voters who
would as vote one ticket as another II
they got their dander up"
Republicans realize that they. must submit
their political fortunes to the operation Of
economic laws, as against theories and party
principles, at time when economic condl-
tions are changing the world over and when
these new conditions. over which they have no
possible control. may put at naught the most
cherished theories.
X X X X
Politicians in Congress are wondering what
has become of that talk. heard awhile back OF
reorganizing the democratic party and building
up some new alignments for the next congress
sional and the subsequent presidential cam
paign. 1t has died out recently. no ambitious
leaders presenting themselves to survey and
take out the advanced ground. 1t has been
suggested that this claim is part of the demo-
cratic policy in Congress to let the republicans
have full leeway and headway, in the hope
they will create conditions of their own un-
doing.
AS prospective beneiciaries of hoped-for re-
publican misfortunes the game seems to be to
let the situation ride along for awhile There
is said to be no doubht that there are a num-
ber of watchful gentlemen in the offng who
are keeping keen eye upon developments and
will be found in the forefront with suggestions
for reorganization and leadership when the
democratic outlook approaches par.
Republican politicians. for their part. say
that the democratic thus far have been abashed
and discouraged by the popularity of President
Harding and his administration and that the
present does not seem good time to rile public

great interests that are in con-
trast more than great passions.
But there are also ferments Of
hatred and. still more. preoccupa-
tions for the future, which render
the relations between the various
peoples extremely difficult.
Nothing can aid more to i'm
prove this situation than the atti-
tude taken by the United States.
Unbound by any obligations de-
irving from the war. free to
choose their road for the future.
they may make treaties which
would be an example and a guide
for all the other countries; for
getting the spirit of war. they may
enter into friendly relations with
all. In the enjoyment. as they
are Of an immense credit, and hav?
ing a great market at their dis
posal, the greatest market for raw
material, indeed, they may by theil
aid assist enormously in the
restoration of peace. and may
graduate or refuse their aid ac-
cording to the requirements of a
genuine international policy which
shall be directed to the lofty aim
of establishing the true society of
nations.
The discussions on Intervention
or non-intervention in interna-
tional law are purely theoretical.
When the struggle is raging
around us, not to intervene is
equal to intervening in favor of
the side which has the greatest
possibilities Of imposing its pro-
gram. If America had not inter-
vened. during the war, in the
struggle between the central en-
pires and the entente, it would in
reality have contributed to decide
the victory in favor of Germany,
Austria-Hungary. and Turkey,
which in that moment represented
the forces of reaction and violence.
Not to intervene in the present
conflicts in Europe signifies in
reality to intervene in favor Of all
the errors which the international
situation is determining.
To intervene does not mean direct
political action, or, still less. mil
itary action. In the condition in
which America finds itself at pres
ent. 1t merely means to direct its
actions to one sole end, the re-
construction of Europe, which
would bring within the realms of
possibility that society of nations
which up to the present has been
manifested simply as chimera,
If not absolutely a deception.
1t ii a problem which American
democracy will have to study, in
the interests Of civilization, but
also in its own interests.
