A Garden Of the South.

The white magnolia wakons with the
day
To look upon q wonder world Of bloom.
Where feathered branches OF slim,
yellow broom
Gossip with hooded iris, and the CAV
Orange md brown clad stocks dance
down tho way;
Half hid beneath the olives gray
leaved gloom,
Anemones. like patterns from a loom,
Carpet the terrace. where quaint foun-
tains play.
The little winds amid tho almonds hide
To open blossoms for the honey bees
Along the paths the lasy lizards glido,
Dascd by the fragrance Of the locust
trees.
And where the hedgcrows two youns
lovers hide.
The wood doves Groom their wistfui
melodies.

Pawnshops and the Slump.

The annual report of the Provident
Loan Society Is usually, in one way or
another. a barometer Of public for
tune. This great pawnshop organiza-
ton, which has more accounts than
any savings bank, with one exception,
in the United States, feels the come
and go of prosperity and depression.
The number Of loans made In 1920,
which was 377, ,709, Is not true indi-
cation of last years slump, however;
for that Is the smallest number OF
loans made by the society since 1910.
That there were fewer loans last year
than were made In the preceding
years of imitation IS accounted for by
the fact that the society, because of
the money market, was obliged 70
lower the maximum loan. AS valua-
tions we're also reduced to follow the
dropping market, some borrowers
we're kept away.
What does reflect the slump OF 1920
Is a comparison between the "loans
made and "loans paid" columns of
the report. In 1915, the first year
that the war stimulated industry, the
number OF loans paid was greater
than the number of loans made. This
had not previously occurred since
1909. In each of the five years begin
ming with 1915 more clients came to
reclaim than to pawn. In 1919 the
loans paid outnumbered the loans
made by $4,000, but in 1920 those who
came to pawn outnumbered those who
came TO pay by 10000.
The character of the borrowers had a
natural change last year. Early in
1920, as in 1919, says President OTro
T. BANNARD in his report, "the work
ingman seemed to have been sup
planted In the line Of borrowers by
the salaried. professional and business
man, but with the fall months OF 1920
along with the decline Of commodity
prices, wage reductions and increasing
unemployment came the return of the
wage Garner ms borrower" The era
of the silk shirt had ended

The Harding Doctrine.
An Addition to the Principles Set
Forth by Washington and Monroe.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: IL / am
not greatly mistaken Mr.. Harding's in
augural address contains the most I'M
portant pronouncement upon foreign pol
icy that has been made by any Ameri-
can statesman since James Monroe sent
his famous message to Congress on De-
cember 2. 1929. 1t Is as follows:
Our eyes never will be blind to de-
veloping menace. our ears never dear
to the call Of civilization.
In expressing aspirations. in seeking
practical plans. in translatins hurnanity's
new concept of Righteousness and justice
and It's hatred of war into recommended
action we are ready most heartily to
unite. but every commitment must bs
made in the exercise OF our national
sovereignty.
We have come to new realization OF
our place in the world and new ap-
praisal OF our nation by the world. Tho
unselfishness OF these United States is
thing proved, our devotion to peace for
ourselves and for the world Is we'll
established, our concern for preserved
civilization has had It's impassioned and
heroic expression. There was no Amer
lean failure TO resist the attempted re-
version OF civilization; there Will be no
failure to-day or tomorrow.
There is the Harding Doctrine in a
nutshell. II is plain statement OF
facts. No man could better have ex-
pressed them.
II Mr.. Wilson had had such doctrine
to guide him in 1914 there would have
been no thought in his mind about the
American people remaining neutral In
thought and In act. Germany would not
have counted upon our abject neutral
ity The education of Woodrow Wilson
cost the United States $4,000. 900
and the Inhabitants Of the earth world
war.
Rightly considered. the Harding Doc
trine includes the Monroe Doctrine and
the open door policy. which is the Asiatic
edition OF the Monroe Doctrine. Mr..
Monroe talked about republics; Mr.. Hay
discussed commerce: Mr.. Harding minces
no words, but speaks directly about "a
developing menace"
venture 10 predict that Mr.. Harding
will. after Washington, occupy the high
est place In the formulation OF our. for
eign policy. First comes Washington
with his admonition against entanglinr
alliances second comes Mr.. Monroe with
his warning to European Governments
which virtually makes us the ally Of any
American nation whenever II lie attacked
by any non-American nation: third
comes John Hay with his open door pol
icy, which makes us the potential ally
OF China in her blind efforts TO main
tain her integrity. and finally we have
Warren q. Harding with his doctrine
which reveals to us and TO the world
that we are the ally. potential In al
cases, active in case OF sad necessity
against any developing menace such as
Germany became under William II.
There Is nothing new in this doctrine
II has had Its lmpassoncd and heroic
expression. $. v.

BIG HOLD-UP NOW POSTPONED

Reports from Washington are to
the effect that the bill to give $780,
100000 to the railroads will not be
pressed at this time. The reaction
ary proponents of the measure are
afraid of the agricultural bloc.
Just before the close of the last
session of congress, Senator Cummins
announced he would bring up the bill
and insist upon it's consideration i'm
mediately after reconvening the first
of this month. 1t now seems the
railroad senators discovered Senator
LaFollette and other independent Re-
publicans were prepared to introduce
amendments which would do away
with some of the worst features of
the Esch-Cummins law. And the
fearsome discovery was made that
the progressives had almost enough
votes to pass the amendments.
Mr.. Cummins and his masters
quickly decided to hold the whole
matter in allegiance.

LIVING COSTS ALARM

New York-High rents and other
increased living costs has junked the
propaganda that high wages is re-
sponsible for high prices.
One information service for con-
tractors and builders tells it's patrons
that "the turn in the cost of living
will make aAcal wage reductions in
building labor an unsafe element to
figure on"
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
reports that the farmer is receiving
less for his products, considering the
purchasing power of his dollar, than
ever before. Wages have been ham,
mered down, in many instances, to
almost a pre-war level, but living
costs refuse to sustain the claim that
"high" wages are responsible for
high living costs.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-12-23
EMPLOYEES CUT OWN WAGES
Workers Engaged in Meat-Packlng In
dustries Have Amicable Under
standing With. Employers.

Forty thousand employees in the
meat-packing industry voluntarily voted
a 10 per cent cut in wages. The re-
ductions were arrived at under the

plan recently inaugurated by the pack
ers. They went into effect November
%.
The employees affected are men and
women in unskilled trades and all en-
ployees working by the hour or doing

the reductions will amount to about
$3.50 a week for common labOrers. No
changes were made in the working
agreements under which the men are
allowed the eight-hour day, time and
one-half for overtime, and double time
for Sunday.
The wage adjustments agreed to for
the Armour plants in Chicago, St.
Paul, Sioux City, Omaha, st. Joseph,
Kansas City, st. Louis, Denver and
Fort Worth are as follows:
Three cents an hour reduction on
all rates Of employees receiving 90
cents an hour or over.
Five cents an hour reduction on all
rates of employees receiving 45 cents
an hour and under so cents an hour.
Seven and one-half cents an hour re-
duction on all rates of employees re-
ceiving 45 cents an hour or less, with
a minimum rate of 25 cents per hour
for adult female labor.
An 8 per cent reduction on piece
work.
At Fort Worth the following reduc-
tons will be made, as the rates are
slightly different there:
Three cents an hour reduction on all
rates of employees receiving AIN cents
an hour or over.
Five cents an hour reduction on all
rates of employees receiving over 4273
cents an hour and under 471a cents an
hour.
Seven and one-half cents an hour
reduction on all rates of employees re-
ceiving 421a cents an hour or less with
a minimum rate Of 25 cents per hour
for adult female labor.
An 8 per cent reduction on piece
work.

The Standard Oil company Of
Rhode Island, by provision in the

The Texas company contemplates
reduction in the monthly pay Of able
seamen from $72.5O to $50, with cor
responding cuts for all other depart
ments of it's tank ship crews. The
Standard Oil company indicates q
