A new story in old clothes to re-

~UBA, Mexico and Japan will present in
ternational problems to the new admin
istration Immediately upon its assum-
~ ing Office, and they may be of such an
exigent character to overshadow at the out
set the great question Of the league Of nations,
international associations, disarmament and
other so-called paramount issues Deferment
of the last-named policies for later considera-
tion would be quite agreeable to many senator's.
The United States will be called upon to deal
with Cuba in the capacity of guardianship.
Under the Plat amendment the responsible
ties of this nation in the premises are three
fold First to protect this country against the
effects which would follow chaos. anarchy or
other disaster to Cuba through her own internal
troubles: second. to assist Cuba to maintain her
independence nation; third, to guard against
conditions which would warrant any foreign
power intervening in Cuban affairs in any way.
If the reports coming out of Cuba true
that the present situation holds the germs of
movement which might turn the control of the
island over to non-Caucasian blood. a new ele-
ment of gravity is recognized as possibly af
fecting domestic affairs in the United States.
In many respects, political and, economical,
the present-day situation in Cuba is said to be
as menacing and consequential to the United
States as that which existed in 1898 and prior
to the Spanish-American conflict which resulted
in the freeing Of Cuba from the domination of
Spain and put her upon her feet to toddle to-
8 ward perpetual Independence.
X X X
At present the public gets but occasional
glimpses of Cuba's predicament and troubles,
and public Interest generally cannot be said to
be aroused. In official circles and in senatorial
quarters. however, watchful and anxious eyes
being turned toward Cuba. Affairs are
rapidly drawing to a head there. threatening to
put Cuba suddenly on all the front pages some
day, and foremost in the attention of the gov-
ernment and Congress of the United States.
The practical question which it is feared may
be ultima ately presented might be of interven-
tion. and the scope and character of it. Such a
hnality. it is hoped, may be averted, and the
new administration will be looked to to use
every means of averting it.
But the responsibility of the United States,
1t is recognized, is fixed. and the whole world
will count upon this government living up to
the spirit well the terms of the Platt
amendment. which. in effect, constitutes the
United States the protector of Cuba against
herself and guarantor: of foreign interests in
Cuba.
Mexican affairs are expected to yield to
treatment just as soon as Mexicos new presi-
dent, Gen. Obregon, strikes his gait and shows
It to lead to fair treatment Of American invest
u,sHts In Mexico. At pFsse0t the deWauds Of

will come important legislation.
No Vision Of Domination.
1t is emphasized that Mr.. Harding,
having served in the Senate. knows
the legislative ANGLE; and will suf-
fer no embarrassment in the neces-
sary cooperation where leach depart
ment must be permitted. to function
in accordance with the constitutional
power and duty of each. The leaders
in Congress are satisfied; that Mr..
Harding has no vision toward domi-
mating legislation. He may and most
likely will, dominate legislation. they
say, but it will not be by dictation-
a trait absolutely foreign to him
but by leadership. in, which he di-
rects through helpful Cooperation.
Mr.. Harding will come to the presi-
dency with views nodded in the
school of practical legislation. He
will not be embarrassed by obliga-
tions to carry out a theoretical pro-
gram which never. got beyond the
stage of dialectics. Perhaps. no prede-
cessor was better qualified from this
angle to insure a sane program Of
legislation.
His talent for absorbing counsel
will make him the real leader Of the
country. the congressional visitors
say, including the legislative pro-
gram. This fact Is already apparent,
and will become more and more the
source of presidential popularity. the
congressional council says. as his tall
ent for cooperation becomes better
understood.
Under Mr.. Harding's leadership the
country will have the advantage Of
the very best talent within it's boun-
daries. Consultation will be the first
step; decision the last. Mr.. Harding
will invoke the first and direct the
last. This is the resultant of the
judgment of leaders on the Marion

French mind Of today carries with II
only one conference.-the occupation
Of the Ruhr mining region. AS to the
wisdom Of this policy there exists
grave doubt. even in the Quai d'Orsay
itself. but this is the threat the
French today hold over the Germans
and is a possible action bitterly op-
posed by Lloyd George. According to
reliable advices from London, Lloyd
George hopes the question Of Ruhr
occupation will not come up. He has
reason to, for it is believed a GER
tainty that If it ever comes to an open
! break between BRAND and the British
premier, France will proceed with her
own devices in bringing Germany to
terms.
France believes from a military
standpoint she is able to do SO, loath
as she may be to entering into any
adventure of prolonged character.
But under the treaty Of Versailles
France. il military measures were
taken. undoubtedly would assess the
tremendous cost of further incursion
against Germany. This would be her
only recourse. ,.
Barring the hinted eyentuality of
the German government, asking the
allies to step into Germany and direct
the country out of a state of chaos in
case the government sees that it can
not exist or emerge from tremen-
dously heavy burdens imposed by the
allies, Germany would go far toward
avoiding further French occupation.

BRAND is a fire eater in many

French viewpoint of making Germany

France Ready to Press Germany Alone
If Lloyd George Persists in Te1nporizing

afterward Clemenceau, Millerand and
Leygucs showed disposi ton to con-
slider that Frances future interests
lay in compromise with the. British
and American viewpoints. The treaty
Of Versailles represented to the
French the extreme limit Of leniency
toward the, enemy. Recent supreme
council agreements have shown a
tendency to be less and less firm in
handling the situation brought on by
Germany's apparent disregard Of the
treaty and disposition to dodge-at
least, procrastinate-in meeting its
terms 1t has been an easy matter
for Poincare to arouse popular. en-
thusiasm for his principles. Every
person In France has been borne down
by war burdens. Relief would be
popular, and. as Poincare has pointed
out, relief can come only through Ger
many paying her obligations. Fur
thermore, the war has not been ended
long enough for France to forget
Germanic incursion. She has but to
look at the livid scar across the
reaches Of beautiful northern France.
1t is not surprising to see popular ac-
claim for the Poincare principle

France maintains an army of more
than 100000 men today. BRAND has
promised curtailment to appease
popular demand looking toward re-
duction Of military budgets, but it
may be taken for granted that this
reduction will not come until the so
called German menace is ended and
Germany gets down to Saving wood

It matters little to the French how
