No Party Politics in Disarmament

No Party Politics in Disarmament
Senator Underwocd's appointment
as a member of the Disarmament
Conference meets with the general ap-
proval of the public and of all parties,
as did the appointment of Secretary Of
State Hughes as the ranking member
of the American delegation.
There is no more sincere friend of
the main purpose of the conference
and of world peace than the Demo-
cratic leader of the Senate, who has
the confidence of his party and of the
nation. AS an expert on taxation,
and doubtless the best informed and
best equipped member of either house
on this subject, he necessarily has a
keen realization of the relation be-
tween the maintenance of ornaments
and taxation, and his sound knowl-
edge of national and international con-
ditiors together with his natural abili-
ty and experience in leadership make
him an ideal member of the Disarma-
ment Conference.
The turning down of Senator b.
rah, instead of Senator Lodge for
membership on the Conference, is
generally deplored aside from the vio-
lation of the ethics governing such
appointments. Senator Borah, it is

WASHINGTON LETTER \

Washington, De-. s. After a
months unearned holiday Congress is
again in session with practically all
its important work yet to be done,
and President Harding, refreshed by
new golfing and cruising experiences,
has returned from his latest vacation.
The tax revision bill as rewritten by
the Senate is just reported in that
body and will be the subject of long
debate while business feverishly
waits. The Republican campaign
promise to reduce taxes, therefore,
has not been kept, and. according to
Senator Smoot (Rep., Utah), an au-
thority on taxation, will rot and can
not be kept. The tax bill, in its pres
ent shape, is no more satisfactory
than it was IS it passed tie house and
is certain of the opposition OF some
Republican Senators.
By general consent tie tariff bill,
through which the Republicans were
going to restore prosperity at once,
must wait perhaps until the very last.
According to the newspaper recog-
nized here as President Harding's
mouthpiece, many returning Con-
gressmen are of the opinion it ought
to be passed up alsogethei or at least
until the disarmament conference is
over. This economic monstrosity,
known as the Fordney tariff bill, has
been riddled by House and Senate Re-
publicans as we'll as Democrats until
it will no more hold water than 4
sieve, and yet enough blind partisans
were found in the House to pass it. 1t
is not satisfactory to anyone except
the profiteering big manufacturers.
Bankers and other business men OPP
pose it and the greatest merchant per-
haps in the world, the head of Mar
shall Field & Co.. Chicago, has shown
that the "American valuation" clause
would destroy what little foreign
trade there is left in merchandise.
Among the big measures yet to be
acted upon is the war loan funding
bill introduced by Senator Penrose,
which empowers the Secretary of the
Treasury to do anything he pleases
with the $10,000,000, 900 foreign loans
and to be the sole judge of the trans
actions he may enter into in funding
the debt. This, as has been pointed
out by Senator Mcclellan Dem.,
TENN, and Senator Underwood, the
Democratic Senate leader, is an I'M
precedented and unwarranted grant of
power which no one man ought to
lave or ought to be willing to accept.
1t is the most sinister and dangerous
measure ever introduced in any ses-
sion of Congress AID is sure to result
in acrimonious debate, but the Repub-
Iicans are an arbitrary, stiff-necked,
body and ready and willing to en-
ploy the steam roller whenever it be-
comes necessary to override the mi
nority.
The railroad funding bill, the Pan
anna tolls bill and the maternity bill
are all measures which await action
and are provocative of debate.
The separate peace treaty with
Germany, which is sure to create di-
visions in the votes of both parties,
will have precedence probably, and it
is predicted that it will be fought as
bitterly by the bitter-enders as was the
treaty of Versailles.
In the meantime, six million per-
sons are idle and the American troops
are still on the Rhine. 1t would seem,
therefore, that we are yet a long ways
from normalcy.
