passing on tie appropriations for sub
sudizing the local musical organiza-
lions. The amounts already granted are
but evidences of recognition, and they
have been thankfully accepted as such,
but if these bands are to be maintained
on anything like a steady footing, more
mo hey is necessary. The Native Brass
Band, the Oldest organization of the kind
in this island has just secured a set of
new instruments at an outlay OF sever
al hundred dollars, in order to better
acQuit itself before the public which is
not unlike the public Of other places and
makes no allowance for the fact that
the organization is altogether dependent
upon the private initiative of its leader
ard members for existence. These men
have shown great ability to preserve uni
ty and keep the institution alive during
many years of sharp vicissitudes and
adversities and it is due them that the
public, through its representatives,
evince some really tangible appreciation
for the efforts expended to provide public
entertainment, apart from consideration
Of the financial aid now needed. It's true
the expenses of the Municipality are
numerous, but in rising to this occasion
the public feels an obligation to relieve the
hard working members of the Native
Brass Band Of a personal debt Of some
eight hundred dollars incurred to ad-
vance the civic interests of he COM.
munity. This matter is put up for the
serious and careful consideration of
every Council member. The public
trusts to the Council to make good.

Washington. April 12th.- The final
rejection OF the Versailles League of
Nations by the United States Govt
has orocIalnel i rna world today by
President Harding in a solemn pro
nouncement of the foreign policies of
his administration. Speaking briefly
before the new congress assembled to
write a programme OF political and
economic reconstruction, the President
declared the acceptance of The League
would be nothing short Of a betrayal
of the mandate of the November cleo
tions. Instead, be asked for a con-
greSsionaI declaration OF peace, and for
a ratification OF those portions of the
Versailles treaty which protect speci-
fcally United States rights and inter
ests in the war settlement. The exist
inc League OF Nations, world govern
ing with the super powers, this repub-
lie will nave no part, he said. 1t is
only fair to say to the world IN general
and to our associates III particular that
the League Covenant can have no
sanction by u.s.. The declaration was
answered by a tremendous temonstra-
ton, in which republican senators ADD
representatives led, while most of their
democratic colleagues sat silent and un
smiling. While weighing the words

were claiming a complete victory, predic-
ting that even the portions of the treaty
endorsed by Mr.. Harding would never re-
celve senate approval. In his RECON-
mendatlons for domestic legislation, the
President gave great attention to tariff
and tax revision and to the railway stu
alton, though be endorsed a list of lesser
measures, which congressional leaders
decided might prolong the special session
until the snow flies. he also took occa-
sion IN his address, Of nearly an hour, to
declare faith in q maintained Merchant
Marine and in the principle of armament
reduction, without asking for legislation
on either subject. An. emergency ia
rift to correct serious disorders in
the United States industry was placed
at the head, at the Presidents request,
and WITHIN an hour after he had fin
shed speaking the House Ways and
Means Committee agreed to reject tomor-
row the emergeny measure passed at the
last session, and voted by President Will
son. For the permanent tariff measure
that is to be framed later. Mr. Harding
made no specific suggestions, except that
it followed the principle of protection.
