cooperate, but not NEEDLE. Follow
ing this the Congressional leader of
internationalism in this country.
Senator Gilbert Hitchcock. became
bitter in his denunciation of Harvey
for presuming to indicate what
should be the foreign policy Of Presi-
dent Harding. On the day Hitch
cock was accusing Harvey OF pre-

wrote the Polish Minister relative to
the Silesion Boundary dispute, in
part as follows: II have the honor
to inform you that, in my opinion,
the settlement Of such boundary dis
putes as arise In the matter under
consideration Is a matter OF Euro
pean concern in which, in accord
with the traditional policy Of the
United States. this Government
should not become involved. The
attitude Of the Government in this
matter is clearly understood by its
representatives In Europe, who Will.
therefore, take NJ part in the dis
cussions concerning Upper Silesia
and will give no opinion as to the
settlement So 1t seems that the
foreign policy c!-the Harding Ad-
ministration is fairly we'll under

Ways and Means Committee now

1t has been referred to the Ways

ton would have the effect OF putting
a protective tariff upon our statute

the construction of W large ships

The Crux OF the Question.

The man who paid $500 for a
$500 straw hat will agree with
President Harding's denunciation of
certain retailers for refusal to cut
prices. It is a pretty hard matter to
get a whack at this class OF retailers
and President Harding is to be COM
mended for his courage in speaking
in the open. The crux OF the whole
question OF exhorbitant prices Is to
be found in the retail trade. Many
of the retailers refuse to cut their
prices. the consumers strike Is
thereby continued. the water backs
up inc the mills are closed down.
But If those retailers who persist in
their recalcitrancy would only stop
to think, they would be astOnished
at their W shOrt-sightedness, for
they are building up an opposition
and encouraging an alliance between
the manufacturers and the consum-
ers which may in the not distant
future result in direct sales and the
%obliterating OF the retail trade, when
the employees Of that trade will be
compelled to resort to productive
work.

West Coast United VS.. Japan.

In an address before the Harvard
Club of Washington. Senator Samuel
W. Shortridge Of California declared
that a treaty should be sought with
Japan relative to keeping her citi-
zens out Of this country. and. II that
failed, an exclusion act similar to the
Chinese exclusion act should be
passed by Congress. The Senator
asserted that all the people IN the
West Coast were united in their OPP
position to Japanese immigration.

opinion. not needed as badly as a
preventive measure aimed at the

had passed through the House the
bill. already agreed to by the Senate.
to prevent the unauthorized landing
OF submarine cables in the United
States. The measure directs that
cables shall be landed or operated
only after licenses therefore have
been issued by the President. Cables

to revoke licenses whenever such
action will promote the interests OF
the United States. After the intent
OF the measure had been explained
by Mr.. Winslow 1t was passed practi-
