ing from interference with each
others prerogatives. With regard to
foreign relations this has been par
ticularly noticeable.
His Attitude Surprise.
The President made II clear at
the outset. and has frequently re-
peated his position. that It was dis
tinctly the business of the admin
istration to manage the foreign re-
lations of the country. Advice and
consent" of the Senate. in his view,
meant exactly that. and no more.
The attitude of the President was
something of surprise; some Sem
ators had thought the league of
nations struggle, carried over into
the campaign, would mean a Sem
ate supreme, and guiding foreign
affairs. But the Senate has not done
this. Harding, and his Secretary of
State, has been careful not to Of
fend Senatorial pride; but at the
same time the Senate has by no
means directed foreign affairs.
The peace resolution was passed
in the form Harding desired. The
late Senator Knox was prevented
from appending to it clause de-
claring the policy which he and
was the first test.
In matters of legislation. the
President has been roundly criti-
cised on several occasions for what
was termed unwarranted interfer-
ence. The greatest protest arose
when he visited the Capitol when
the Senate had under consideration
the soldier bonus bill. and succeed
ed in having 1t shelved. Again. he
aroused luminosity when he exert
ed influence to have the farm ex-
port act of Senator Norris put aside,
and an administration measure sub
stituted for 1t.
Relations Are Pleasanter.
But for the most part relations
on legislative matters have been
harmonious. The President has not
used the veto, and has accepted
without protest a number of laws
which were not as he thought they
should be. The administration tried
to prevent reduction of the army
below IFS. 900, and failed. 1t sought
lower surtax rates. and many other
things in connection with the reve-
nue. law. which were not obtained.
And then there are, of course, the
two refunding bills, pleas for the
passage of which have been ig-
nored.
The President has, on various &C.
casions. summoned Senate leaders
to the White House for conferences
when the legislative program SEEM
ed hppelessly involved. These con-
ferences were productive of efforts
to adhere to definite program of
work.
An important development dur
ing the year has been the organ
ization of the farm bloc" COM
posed of Senators from agricultural
States. The bloc, has been chiefly
Republican. but on occasions has
had minority support. The bloc has
been able to force through laws,
and block others, in opposition to
the wishes of both the President
and the administration leaders. Its
activities chiefly were responsible
for the failure of the adminlstra-

LONDON. Dec 25.-I feel like a
man who has come into fortune
after fifty years of waiting. Ever
since was a boy my mind has been
set on a clear and fast understand
ing between American and Great
Britain. Now that such an under
standing actually has been signed
| am content beyond words.
/ always have been strongly op-
uosed to the Japanese alliance, not
because IL was anti-American, for
II never was that. bat because it
was capable of beiFy misunder-
stood. and n1fsunderstsn ding in a
matter SO vital was in my view an
unspeakable disaster. Happily,
however, the alliance Is now gone
and gone for good.
And now about the future. I be-
lieve that the good sense of the
British and American peoples will
never allow the union Of hearts
made at Washington by your great
President and his able colleagues
to be destroyed
