Mustapha Renal Pasha has admin
stored a severe blow to the Greeks in
Asia Minor. Concentrating heavy
forces secretly, he made a surprise
attack on the Smyrna, front, breaking
through the Greek lines in three places
and so threatening an enlightenment that
the Greeks were forced to retire to-
ward the coast. The Turks captured
several towns as well as many pris-
oners, and it looks as If they might
bottle the Greeks UP in Smyrna.
King Constantine thinks the French
are carrying on a campaign to force
the revision of the treaty of Sevres
and to compel the Greeks to get out
of the Smyrna region-and it is like
ly he is correct in his belief. He an
nounced last week that he would not
abdicate even if the allied nations
should refuse to recognize him as the
ruler of Greece.

General Crowder is helping Cuba
TO get out of her political and fnan-
cial tangle and the prospect is now
that he will succeed. First he has TAX
en- up the matter of the recent pres
idential elections, recommending that
the thousands of charges of fraud be
cleared up speedily by grouping them
and deciding representative cases.
Then he will undertake to arrange
the islands money troubles. The Gu
ban senate already has passed a meas
ure for the extension of the mora
forum for four months on a modified
basis, a plan approved by President
Menocal and probably by General
Crowder. The Cubans are strongly
opposed to the plan of the American
bankers for taking over their fnan-
cial institutions. which were collaps-
ing. They said the bankers asked too
high a rate of interest and too long
a period for the loan offered. 1t is
said the situation is u%npleasantly COM
plicated by the activity of our acting
secretary of state, Norman FL. Davis,
who is reputed to have made a for

people have been led to expect. Be
cause Leagues refused to outline his
foreign policy before the meeting with
Lloyd George, which was set for this
week, the chamber declined to give
him a vote of confidence and he and
his fellows resigned. 1t was said in

to the action of the American govern

Tchitcherin, foreign minister of v
let Russia, has defied the League
of Nations to send an international
army to the %plebiscite region of Lith-
uania, and in a note to the Polish gov
eminent has warned the allies that
the soviet armies will attack any such
force. He asserts the Wilma affair is
not of concern to Poland and Lithu-
ania alone, but that Russia also is
vitality interested.
The Germans are tremendously ex-
cited concerning another proposed
plebiscite, that in the coal region Of
Silesia, for they have convinced them
selves that Poland is planning to
seize that territory before the vote is
held. 1t is said in Berlin that an
army of lie 5000 Poles has been con-
centrated near the Silesian bordHr
and at Posen for this purpose. The
Poles certainly are getting ready for
action, and are recognizing their arm
les along French lines. but ~ostensibly
they are preparing to meet the ex-
pected offensive of the Reds.

Avowedly in order to set an ex-
ample of economy and democratic
simplicity, Mr.. Harding last week
caused to be cancelled all the arrange
ments for an elaborate ceremony on
the occasion of his Inauguration March
4. At his request the citizens commit
tee called off the celebration it had
planned and also the ball, and the
joint congressional committee agreed
that there shall be nothing doing ex-
cept the administration of the oath
to the P~resident-elect and the delivery
of his address, probably from the east
porch of the capitol. This course nat
urally has peeved the business men
and hotel keepers of Washington, but
everyone else In the country heartily
commends 1t.
Mr.. H~arding's conferences with
prominent men are about over. Very
soon he will leave Marion for Florida,
where he will write his inaugural and
presumably finish making up his mind
as to his cabinet. Concerning the lat
ter, it was interesting If not pleasant
to read last week that the hyphenated
German-Americans, newly organized
into a league, were virtually to ask
Mr.. Harding to give a place in the
cabinet to a German-American. A
committee was selected to carry to
Marion a list Of men from which the
President-elect might make a choice.

to create an era OF good feeling at

greater sympathy if 1t did not insist

growing worse daily, if that is posi-
BILE. A few days ago it was reported
that the government had notified the
allied nations that it was ready to
quit and turn over the country to the
League of Nations to manage. The eco
nomic and political situation there
seems hopeless. Nearly everyone has
quit work, and a general strike has
been ordered to begin Thursday of
this week. Workmen declare they
will remain idle until ~profiteering
ceases, and demand that the deduc-
ton of the income tax from their pay
envelopes stop until the capital levy
law is put in force. The government
has made drastic regulations against
~profteering, but these often are dis
regarded and ex~tortionate prices are
asked for all commodities not under
government control. The communists,
of course, are ready to take advantage
of the situation and start more trou-

American industries and American
business generally are beginning to
speed up" and the more optimistic,
like Ebert Fl. Gary. chairman of the
board of the United States Steel cor
poration, declares there is nothing un-
favorable to prosperity on the horizon.
Prices Of many commodities, including
some lines of building materials, are
coming down steadily, and in many
plants wages are being reduced, in
some instances the reduction being
made by the employers and accepted
by the men and in others being sug-
gested by the workers themselves in
to continue In operation.
All this is quite satisfactory to the
ordinary citizen, but there is one dark
cloud, despite the assertions of the OPP
timists. This is the coming fight be-
tween organized labor and capital over
the open shop. There are many signs
that the issue will be joined soon. Last
Wednesday the representatives of
twenty-five state manufacturerS asso-
Citations. in conference in Chicago,
adopted resolutions pledging support
for the open shop movement. In the
discussion many speakers declared
they would not employ union labor in
their factories and mills. but when the
vote was taken it was made clear that
the resolution did o propose any dis
elimination against the holder of a
union card. In substance the resolu-
ton was:
ut Is recognized as fundamental In
this country that all law-abiding citi-
ems or residents have the right to
work when they please, for whom they
please. and on whatever terms are mu-
tually agreed upon between employee
and employer and without interference
or discrimination upon the part of
others.
1--WE hereby express our purpose to
support these fundamental principles
of American plan of employment by
the maintenance of the open shop.
"We urge upon our members to Sc
cure by discussion and education the
active support of workers, merchants,
bankers and professional men and all
other elements of their prospective
communities in favor of American
ideals and the open shop"
