Mr.. Harding said be had had unofficial information
that France was ready to revise the league covenant
and to accept such changes as the United States
might desire Whereupon Mr.. Wilson called him to
book for usurping the functions Of the Department
Of State.
II is not improbable, as Mark Sullivan suggests,
that diplomatic missions from other countries may
follow Viyiani and that deputation of the league
itself may be included. This is not "watchfui wait.
ing while doing nothing, II is doing business and
waiting until the business is done, before taking
6nal action to close the deal
In the meantime, also. other departments are
keeping step with Mr. Hughes. There is teamwork
IN this Harding administration. There will be no
separate peace with Germany. That is one thing
that will wait probably indefinitely There will be
no rupture and no misunderstanding between the
two ends ofthe Hill, but the United States will not
scrap the good name won in the war.
incidentally, it may be recalled that in the
years gone by, every time reduction of naval build
ing was proposed. Germany baked When at The
Hague. disarmament was under discussion Ger
many was the, Elusive eel When any agreement
to stabilize peace conditions was broached Germany
had sort of sardonic attitude. 1t not uncom-
mon to meet Germans who held that war was
necessary factor in human development.
Recently, when Senator Borah sprung his ma
val vacation resolution, there was instantly very
cordial response. II seemed that he had finally pro-
posed something with which others could agree. He
was getting along, until Mr.. Root. recognized as
Americas Nestor in diplomacy. advised a bit of
watchful waiting" to give the administration
time to look around.
The Senator switched to United States-Brit-
ish-Japanese agreement. Then came the response
from the japanese Diet quite like the German
model 1t declined to consider the proposition;
only the United States should dsarm. At the same
time the British attitude favorable. The United
States continues to build ships.
These all matters of news as published in
the press, They are not secrets. Every American
is free to make his own conclusions if he will.
though the period of conclusions is still in the
future. The man on the, fence but look on

u. S. RAPS SPANISH
BUSINESS LEVY

The United States has Joined with
a number of other nations in send
ing a protest to Spain against law
passed in 1920 which taxes foreigners
in that country according to the
size of the home company they
represent instead of on the basis
of the size or extent of the branch
in Spain. The announcement was
made at the State Department yes
terday.
A number of companies doing
business in Spain are reported to
contemplate closing their Spanish
branches, due to the hardship of op-
Grating under the law. The initial
action was taken by the American
Ambassador at Madrid, who called a
meeting of diplomats last December
to discuss joint action.
The State Departments note was
delivered I'm January and since that
time negotiations looking to a modi-
f1cation OF the law have been In
progress.

Business Veterans.

Washington's new Commissioners have settled
to their work as though it had been their daily
job for many years. 1t may be fortunate that the
District Commssionership carries so small salary
that, like important diplomatic post, no one can
afford to accept the office who dies not have an in
dependent income.
This assures business men, men trained in busi-
ness affairs, having control and direction of the
business operations of the District This, too as
sures minimum Of friction, of lost motion and
hatng in change of District administration To
business man business, under whatever name it
comes, is just business amenable to common rules
and methods and presenting only rather familiar
problems
That the appointment of Cuno H. Rudolph, who
served under President Taft, and of Capt James
F. Oyster native of Washington, has given much
satisfaction is abundantly evident. 1t is but mild
statement that other two men could probably
have been found who would have better pleased the
citizens a whole.
They know Washington inside and outside
what the visitor sees, and what the older resident
and those whose all is invested here, know. They
bring to their responsibilities that intimate touch
that common interest and that community feeling
essential to efficient response to the demands of
the office of Commissioner. They have the broad
acquaintance confined to no rank or class, which
will enable them estimate relative values and de-
mands.
They will give the District what is as
is possible to self-government. What Washington
wants and should have. they get, if anyone
What Washington should in turn do and give, they
can produce if anyone can. The President has
pleased Washington and Washington is COM
munity rather apart, sort of personal borough.

Fair Prices.
of the hue.

Fair prices much like living wage. Both
are controlled by basic costs Both interock with all
factors of national economic life. Neither can be
considered alone and neither be manipulated one
way the other without reaction which will
upset the whole national fabric.
Prices about year ago reached above what
the traffic would bear. The element of prohteering
does not need to enter any discussion of the funda
mental fact that they become so high as to dis
astrously affect the whole economic, interlocking
machine The agitation not to buy, which was pro-
motion of sort of national boycott simply hur-
ried an inevitable result
1t but advanced the period of liquidation. That
period has forced prices close to the other extreme
1t is just impossible for merchandising to exist
under too low price scale, for labor, under too
low wage scale, and it is condition which does
not affect traders alone but the whole population
Every individual has to sell something in order
to buy. If any one part of this Ioo.oooooo total
has to sell below what is living standard OF fair
profit, it has to buy below that standard. This
purchasing power acts Ike wave, it reaches to
everyone.
1t is beyond any reasonable quibble that prices
are now at or even below the fair line OF support
ing profits, If buying is not resumed IN normal
volume, the merchants cannot buy freely and the
endless chain will continue. The final consumer
eurtails his buying; the retailer must then reduce
his buying; the wholesaler IS forceo 10 tue same az
titude the manufacturer goes to part time or shuts
down; the laborer is out of work; the producer
cannot sell his raw materials. and stsgnaton con-
tinues.
u The remedy lies with the great body OF all Of
u.s. 1t is to buy what we need now that the prices
are right 1t is useless to wait for lower prices as
they are now down to bed rock. In many in
stances they are close to prewar levels. Any fur
ther reduction will be gradual that will be- not
liquidation. but process Of slow, uniform. inter-
locking action

u. S. TO MAKE FIGHT
FOR RAIL WORKERS

Government officials in Washing
ton arc preparing for a fight in the
Atlanta District Court in defense OF
the Federal law which requires en-
ployers to give twenty days notice
Of wage reductions. In the Georgia
! railway strike the Atlanta. Birming-
ham and Atlantic Railroad refused
the services of the United States
Board of Mediation and Cancellation
upon the grounds that the twenty
days notice requirement was con-
fiscstory.
Judge William L. Chambers. COM

case will be tested March IS in the

The Man on the Fence.

The man sitting the fence at the side lines
thinks he can see the beginning of the development
of this administrators foreign policy. 1t may not
be as plain as pkestaf, but there is at least a
chance to put two and two together and to hook
on. with world map in ones hand.
More interesting policy sidelights come from
the Office of Mr.. Hughes than from any other
source. The Democrats say the Secretary has
adopted the policies of the last administration,
pointing to Yap and the other mandatories, with
the rest "watchful waiting" But the mere man
on the fence something very different.
There is evidence Of the development of def
nits. systematic policy with predetermined objec-
tive which is the in all directions 1t is not
one thing for Central America and the islands, an
other for Mexico, still another for South America
with amendments as to Japan or European affairs.
1t carries the atmosphere of the firm hand and
the square deal 1t inspires confidence. II brings
conviction as the creation of an authority that
knows just what is to be done and how it is to be
done. 1t recalls Roosevelt's: Speak softly but
carry big stick" 1t commands respect and as
surance.

FOR NEW YORK HARBOR-


Three wireless fog signals neal

sioner Of lighthouses. told the
Washington Society OF Engineerf
at it's meeting last night at the
Cosmos Club.
Each Of the three stations a
equipped with an automatic radid
set. which sends out signals conf
tinuousiy during fog or thick
weather." he explained. '-Thest
signals may be picked up on shipI
board by means Of the radio CONT
pass. an instrument which has beef
brought to q high degree OF perl
fection through the research work
of the Bureau Of Standards. Thil
compass indicates the directio1
from which the radio signals ar(
sent out and by taking observstioni
on several stations the captain oI
the vessel may determine his exact
position at once without being
obliged TO rely on the former uni
satisfactory way of locating him1
self by the sound Of whistles OF
fog-horns"
The principal advantage claimed
for this system is that the nsvigaI
tor can obtain radio bearings al
rectly himself. as he does compass
bearings in clear weather. without
depending on others for assistance
Other advantages are that the send
ing apparatus is easily installed
and can be operated by the regu|
lar lightkeepers without additional
personnel. and also that any numl
ber Of vessels at sea. equipped will

positions at the same time without
interference.
These signals have been installed

Because OF the risks and uncer,
tainties OF navigating vessels durI

ture development OF the radio fod
