There have been many men like

The country has had a good look
at the new tariff bill, and the lower
house has annointed it with the usual
amount of oratory. The bill is per-
haps as far from satisfactory as any
measure of it's kind that has ever
been introduced in congress. THIS
does not imply that it is hopelessly
defective; but the changed condition
of world affairs has had its reflex
action on the tariff, and as a result
the making Of a bill at this time is
more experimental that it was when
the Payne-Aldrich or Mckinley bills
were enacted. The Payne-Aldrich bill
defeated the republicans in 1910, and
doubtless the Underwood tariff later
added to the complication of the dem
ocrats and fastened their downfall i'll
the elections. Just what effect the
new republican tariff bill will have
on politics no one is in a position to
forecast at this time.
China and Korea do not ordinarily
interest the average American, but
as an incident to the Japanese dispo-
sition to dominate the entire orient,
they are of immense Importance. The
Japs are constantly advertising the
fact, which is ~indisputable, that they
can take the Philippines at any time.
Their position with reference to
Hawaii is almost as strong. DR.. Henry
Chung, one of the commissioners from
Korea, has recently written a book
under the title of The Case Of
Korea" 1t is one of the strongest
presentations of conditions that has
appeared in print, and DR.. Chung has
driven home the comparative case be-
tween Japan and Korea as it resem-
bles early relations between France
and the United States.

such a thing happening; but the ad.
ministration knows that the situation
is likely to become acute at any time,
and one does not need to use a magni-
| flying glass to discover that the main
cause for the big naval appropriations,
as we'll as the activity of the Ameri.
can feet in the Pacific Is due to the
militarism of the Japanese, which in
every way resembles the course fol.
lowed by Germany prior to 1914.
President Harding is developing the
biggest assistant cabinet that has
been known to the capital within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant," in
GLIDING Uncle Joe Cannon, who used
to sit on the doorstep of the White
House and talk oyer the government
business with Abraham Lincoln. When
President Harding helped General
Dawes launch his plan for a budget
system, Washington officials gathered
in such great numbers that the event
seemed quite familiar to the people
who had lived at some time in their
lives in communities where the old
town meeting constituted the peoples
forum. 1t is a dull day when Presi
dent Harding does not have a. con.
ference with a large group of public
officials outside his cabinet. AS an
instance of this one finds the presi-
dent discussing the railroad situation
with the secretary of the treasury, the
secretary Of commerce, and with the
members Of the interstate commerce
commission, the director general of
railroads, and many other minor Of
ficials. The Wilson regime had en-
tirely different ways for proceeding.
President Wilson was accustomed to
talk over measures with cabinet Off.
GERS in charge Of different depart
ments of the government, and he held
them to a very strict accounting when
it came to measuring the results. But
President Harding in his work follows
the job clear through to the point
where the actual work that is in
vOlved is being done. If a budget
system is to be devised that includes
all Of the departments and bureaus
President Harding does not content
himself until he knows the program
only of the department heads, but
of the bureau chiefs as well. In a
matter Of finance, he does not STOP
with his secretary of the treasury, or
content himself as Mr.. Wilson, when
Mr.. McAdoo was at the head of that
department Of the government by a
short two-man conference; but he

goes down the line, and when the in
formation is not sufficiently informa-
tive he is more than likely to sum

vate life to give their views on mat.
ters. One might suppose that Prasi-
dent Harding's method would involve
more work than did the course of his
predecessor but such is not the case,
as no one will attempt to say that
President Harding is as assiduous q
worker as vas Mr.. Wilson. His
methods develop team work, while
Mr.. Wilson will always be accused of
himself" Only time will tell whether
the policy of President Harding is an
improvement over the methods Of his
predecessor but his nearest friends
are hopeful of great success from his
administration.
Senator Thomas +. Watson Of
Georgia, has been in pyrotechnic
eruption in politics for a quarter of
a century, and it is not surprising
that he is creating big noises down
in Georgia. The war was not his
to suit him and he was in violent dis
agreement with the policies of his
government during the great conflict.
But Georgia has done strange things
in the past, and it is not odd that

to the senate. The highest legislative
body in the world furnishes a great
deal that looks wrong to him. His
pet aversion right now is the federal
reserve board. While most people
think that the administration of the
federal reserve law is being ably con-
Quoted, the Georgia senator denounces
its methods as ruthless warfare upon
American business" Watson is al,
ways interesting, and his u~tterances
are worth reading if for not other
eason than the inoriginality of ex-
preston. Concerning the federal re.
serve act he says: "A blacker chap
ter was never written in the history
of any government. More cruel tyr
amy was never perpetrated by Herod
or Nero" Just what the sources Of
Watson's information may be is not
clear; but Georgia purports to say
that there are comparatively six
million men throughout this country,
starving or begging. or stealing, or
s%uiciding.' The banks of Mr.. Wat

men who agitate a good deal and ere

of cotton to the pressure that comes

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL


President Harding has gone straight
to the point in asking Britain, France,
Japan and Italy to join in a parley
looking toward disarmament. There
was no little surprise expressed In
Washington when the president
brought the Pacific and far eastern
problems into the fore ground in his
suggestions to the powers that are to
be asked to pass upon the issues in.
volved in reducing the amount OF
fighting machinery in the world. This
directness of President Harding has
been well received by the country,
which does not have much patience
with the complicated and indirect
methods adopted by diplomats as the
means of obtaining final understand
ing among themselves. The United
States has assumed that the whole
world is tired Of the game of spend
ing most of the taxpayers money for
the purposes Of defense, and 1t has
out the expressed views of the
States as voiced through cor
gress aiming TO narrow this race for
down to a point where
there will be something left for sol
diers' bonuses, better highways, and
other internal improvements. The
president, in bringing the question of
and far eastern problems into
he discussion at the very beginning,
has @polnted out the only matters in
International relations that threaten
The peace of the world. Japan has
been maintaining a position that is
so arrogant that the Washington ad.
has been obliged to hold
on to itself" for many years. The
treaty relations between Britain and
Japan complicate the situation be.
cause Great Britain and the United
are the two great world pow.
that are looked to to maintain
peace, and it Is little difficult for the
American administration to under
all the curves in the game that
Great Britain and Japan are playing
on the international ball field.
The brass tacks Of the world stu.
alton today for peace lies in an ar.
rangement that will keep the United
States and Japan from going to war.
