, President Harding, in his invitation
TO the foreign governments, however,
gave the impression, in the opinion
OF many observers, that Pacific and
far eastern questions must be dispos
ed of first, when he said.
at is quite clear that there can be
no final assurance of the peace of
the world in the absence of the de-
sire for peace, and the prospect for
reduced armaments, is not a hopeful
one unless this desire finds expression
in practical effort to remove causes
of misunderstanding and to seek
ground for agreement as to princi-
pies and their application.
1t is quite possible, however, that
although the Pacific and Far Eastern
Questions, may be the first to be dis
posed of, that the actual question of
limitation of ornaments may actual
ly first come before the conference,

"FREE MONEY

Muscle Shoals is a great power
projects, and it happens at the mo-
ment to be one of the sick war babies
Henry Ford wants it. "Now / see
a way by which our Government can
get this great work accomplished
without paying nickel to the money
sellers he says. "The Government
needs $4,000, OOO-that is 100000
twenty dollar bills. Let the Cover
nment issue those bills an dthen pay
every expense connected with the com
pletion of the DAM" Mr.. Ford said
that the good faith of the American
people would stand behind such an
issue of paper money, and he thought
that was sufficient. Mr.. Ford sug-
gests that the Government spend the
free money" that he thus provides
for, after which he will operate the
industries the great waterpower will
make feasible, on a sort of percent
age basis.
He very artfully places 'the re-
sources of tn Tennessee River" back
of his suggestions. And if the
scheme is good for Mr.. Ford why be
SO exclusive about it? There are
similar applicants for waterpower
projects under the new Federal Power
act desiring 100000 horsepower,
which with an estimated value of
5000 per horse power represents
$4,000, 100000. The Ford money, ac-
cordng othe announcement of it's
godfathers, would be for internal use
only in the United States, and not a
complete legal tender. The ques-
ton is asked why, if the scheme is
good, it should be confined to water
power money" when we have the
troubles of the railroads constantly on
our hands-all of which can be re-
NEEDED by printing railroad money"
Following along down the line, there
is great sfield" for automobile

THE NEW TARIFF

President Harding asked Congress
to pass the tariff bill, which has been
pending since the beginning of his
Administration. The bill has been
before the Senate committee for Sc
veral months, having already been
approved by the House Owing to
the fact that there are more than a
thousand features in the new bill
that have never before been part
of tariff bill, the manner of hand
ling these items is puzzling, and the
President has asked for a flexible
tariff" which through the tariff COM
mission an dthe Executive may be al
tered without the necessity of going
to Congress for changes. The con-
dition of foreign exchange appar-
emily makes such course imperative
and the uncertainty of foreign rooney
values likewise makes it essential
that an American valuation plan
should be agreed upon in the new
bill. The freight rate problem. help
to American farmers, aid for the
starving abroad, and the peace
treaties formed features of the
message.
TO END NON TAXABLE-BONDS
The President in his message to
Congress said that he believes "our
tax-problems, the tendency of wealth
to seek non-taxable investment and
the menacing increase of public debt,
Federal, State and municipal, all

stitution so as to end the issue of

A BOOM IN LANGUAGES

Gradually the language of the
world is becoming English, and one
can travel from Alaska to Zerubbabel
with it. A learned Chinaman who
is attending the Armament Con-
ference apologized for his poor Eng
lish, to an audience which he was
addressing, whereupon the presiding
officer remarked that very few of his
American audience spoke very good
Chinese. But this Chineman spoke
many tongues, and in that respect
he was quite like most of the dis
tinguished foreigners at the Confer
ence who carry with them many titles
and many languages. Americans
who went abroad in the war, came
back with smatterings of French and
the other languages with which they
were thrown most intimately in touch
AS direct result thousands of new
students of French entered the in
stitution of learning. At about the
same time the boom in languages in
Guided Spanish, which doubtless is
popular because it is considered cas-
Ter to learn than many others; and for
the further reason that Americans
have peculiar notion that it is
"good business" to connect up that
particular tongue with the Monroe
Doctrine and possible development of
Central and South American trades.
The Berlitz School of Languages,
which exist all over the country, are
just now having run OF applicants
for instruction in German and Italian
an dthe great schools in Washington
and New York are experiencing diff
ficluty in getting enough teachers.
This is particularly true in Washing
ton because all German citizens were
compelled to leave the District of

many of them have returned to the

Here are some Exceptional Fine Bar
gains in Washburn Property

$1100. Small cash payment and terms
to suit on the balance.

rooms to side. Fine shade trees and

use half of the house and make the
rent from the other side pay for the
property. This place could not be
built for $4,000 today and the corner
lots are worth $1,000, yet about half
of that amount will buy the property.
Small cash payment down and the
balance on terms the same as rent.
Seven room house on west third st.

sewer, good barn and chicken coop.
This is a good place for the working
man who wants to get away from for
ever paying rent. Priced at $1,000

is said that they are enthusiastic for
it. But Congress, which will be
called upon to furnish sixty million
dollars to convert Muscle Shoals in
to power monopoly for Mr.. Ford to
run, refuses to be enthused with the
Christmas spirit in voting the peoples
money for straight gift. Nothing
daunted Mr.. Ford points the way by
showing the simplicity of revising
the entire monetary system of the
Nation. His onslaught on the mo
ney sellers" reminds one of the soap
box orators, an dtae vaporings of
"Coin Harvey" or the antics of the
ragtags when Coxey led his army to
Washington in order that he might
make a speech on the steps Of the
Capital to tell whas little he knew
about the wisdom" of abolishing all
the banks and destroying the money
sellers"
The country has had a taste of in
fation within recent war years, and
while Mr.. Ford's 'free money" is cap
able of being extended so that we can
all have a million, as the only restric-
ton remains in the capacity of the
printing presses, yet one cannot help
wondering why counterfeiters are
sent to Jail while Mr. Ford is allowed
to get away with his "free money"
stuff.

PRESIDENT ASKS FOR
FULL PARTY SUPPORT

President Harding, in his message,
lectured Congress about its agricul-
tural bloc and other internal organi-
cations that have prevented carry
ing out a straight Republican pro-
grad, and he appealed to the MEM
bers of the houses to support their
party organizations. The Presi-
dent let Congress know that he does
not consider the tax program as
finally settled, and he said that he
would have some further reconmen-
dations to Congress upon that sub
ject Our foreign loans were refer
red to, and an appeal made for a
proper finding" measure, which
means that the matter should be plac-
ed in the hands of a commission, or
board, to be headed by the Secretary
of the Treasury Doubtless this
plan will be speedily carried out, in
order that methods of collection
which are always more difficult than
methods for making loans-may be
provided for.

THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS
OPTIMISM PREVAILS

In WASHINGTON
The Armament Conference contin-
ues to be the absorbing event in the
Capital of the World, and despite
bitches in the prearranged program
at Washington, the spirit of optim-
ism remains undiminished. Japan
is tenaciously hanging on to some
of its rights" but the process of
adjustment is being gradually work
ed cut. Unless all signs fail the
Conference EiTl establish a closer
working arrangement between the
organized governments of the world,
and whether this will operate
as supplementary to the League of
Nations with its forty-one member
nations, or absorb that body, does
not seem so important, just SO long
as the understanding" which are
being arrived at provide method
for concerted action on the part of
the great powers whenever any one
of them may go on rampage. Lord
Grey declared that he could have
prevented the world WAR in 1914 if
he had been able to appeal to. such
official world organizations as now
exist and which have grown out of
the Paris peace conference and the
Washington conference for the Ii
imitation of armament.

standing, and their increase through
new issues, has made it almost i'm
possible to finance the manufacture
ing industries and transportation fa-
cilities of the country. Public uti-
lily institutions have been particu-
larly hit, and fully year ago they
asked Congress to call a halt on the
non-taxable securities. Apparently
only constitutional amendment can
check the evil, and the President has
urged the matter in order to guard
against what he calls capitals para
lysis."
