Harding's International Policy Seems to Please All the
 Republican Groups.
OUR RIGHTS SAFEGUARDED
Modified Knox Peace Resolution In- trodueed-Democrats Fight Emer- geney Tariff BiII-coIombian Treaty Before the Senate
 Strike of the British
 Miners Is Ended.
By EDWARD W. PACKARD.

President Harding, in his program for international relations as set forth in his message to congress, has ac- complished the remarkable feat of satisfying all factions in his party, if the expressions of leaders in Washing ton are to be taken as representing the opinions of the people. The fore cast of this program, made week ago, was not far astray. It contains, however, a plan for the acceptance of such terms of the Versailles treaty as confirm Americas rights and inter- ests; in other words, the ratification of the treaty with such reservations and notifications as will completely cut out the League of Nations cove nant and secure "our absolute free domp from entanglement in purely European affairs. Just how the cove nant so closely interwoven into the fabric of the treaty, can be eliminated, is not yet apparent. In Washington 1t is said a delegation might be sent to Europe, or a conference of the al- lies called in our national capital. It is also suggested that 1t may be nee essary to draw up a new treaty or treaties to be signed by the United States, the allies and Germany.
 Any negotiations to this end, how ever, are to await reconsideration by the allies of their award of the Island of Tap to Japan and their formal ac- knowledgment of Americas rights in the disposition of all the territories taken away from the central powers. At first France replied to Secretary Hughes note on Tap by a suggestion that the question be settled by the United States and Japan, and it is believed Great Britain will propose the same course, offering it's good of fees in behalf of the American claims. Japan wants the controversy to be in- cIuded in the general negotiations to settle all matters at issue between this country and Japan. Neither of these suggestions is acceptable to the administration, and neither will be considered. Mir Hughes position is that the Tap affair concerns the al- lies jointly and must be settled by them jointly in negotiations with the United States.
 As was foreseen, the President said he favored the adoption of the Knox resolution ending the state of war, but with notifications. Accordingly 1t was introduced in the senate at once with changes to suit, and plans were made to push it through as soon as the Colombian treaty is disposed of. As it stands, the resolution carefully reserves all American rights acquired by the war, the armistice and the Yer sailles treaty, but there is no pro- vision for the negotiation of a separ- ate peace treaty with Germany. The instrument also declares the state of war with Austria ended, but no one here thinks much about Austria these days, except in pity for its starving poor.

An important step toward the re- vival of industry in America was made last week when the United States Steel corporation announced a new price list showing lower prices for steel. The cut ranges from $1.50 to $9 a ton, and the price of tin plate also was reduced $15 ton. The de creases are confined to certain prod ucts and, according to builders and architects, are not in themselves suf- ficient to revive the building industry; but the cut does remove uncertainty and establish a general stabilized price level for steel and experts in the trade say it should stimulate industry. The first concrete result was the announce ment by the International Harvester company of a straight 10 per cent re- duction on its products in which steel is the principal raw product used.

Allusion is made above to the Col ombian treaty. This was the first thing the senate tackled, and a fight developed at once. The pact Is the old one giving to Colombia $25, 5,0O0,0O for the loss of Panama and the Canal Zone. It has always been bitterly op- posed as a virtual repudiation of the acts of Theodore Roosevelt when he was President, but now it has been modified by the omission of any ex- pression of the governments regret for the part played by the United States in connection with the separa- ton of Panama from Colombia. Pres ident Harding has told the senate he hopes it will ratify the treaty, and it probably will do so. Senator Lodge led the debate in favor of the pact, and revealed one of the strong req sons for it's adoption-the existence of rich oil fields in Colombia which Americans wish to develop.
 Senator Kellogg of Minnesota said the ratification of the treaty would be a pusillanimous act, and on the strength of a telegram and letters from Colonel Roosevelt, written in 1917, he declared it would make the United States liable to international blackmail running into hundreds of millions of dollars. The telegram said:
 q know, of course, that you are against this infamous Colombian treaty, but I wish you would point out that it makes precedent for some successor of Wilson to pay at least as large a sum apiece to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Haiti and Santo Domingo for what has been done to them re- gently, and also to Chile for our in- soient and improper treatment of her in connection with the Alsop claim.''

ing to Dr. Julius Ruppel, chief of the German financial delegation in Paris. He says the time allowed is altogether too short for estimating the total liabilities for separations, and that the German experts have been forced to rely on written statements that are neither accurate nor adequate. A Paris journal asserts that the sum to be demanded by the allies will be be- tween 30 and 3S billions of dollars, and that when Germany refuses to accept the figures two classes of French reserves will be called to the colOrs and the Ruhr basin occupied. In that region are the most important industrial plants and the largest coal mines of western Germany.
 Once more Premier Lloyd George has been able, by super-juggling, to avert economic disaster from Great Britain. The strike of the miners federation, which threatened to involve nearly all the organized labor of the United Kingdom, was called of by the federation Friday evening. Just how this result was brought about is not known at this writing, but apparently it was due primarily to the action of the railway men and transport work CTS. These are the other two ele- ments in the triple alliance" and, having been called on for support by the miners, they had decided to quit work Friday night. But MT. Lloyd George and other indefatigable per sons worked on them to change their minds, and six hours before the hour set for striking they announced that they would not strike. The triple al- liance was thus split, and the min- CTS must have seen that their cause was hopeless.
 Another reason for the change of attitude by the miners is seen in the evident intention of a large number of members of the house of commons to see that justice is done the work CTS in the matter of wages. After they had heard from the premier that the miners refused to reopen negotia- tions, they themselves, conducted an inquiry into the matter.
 Presumably the plan for regulation of wages on a national basis, accepted by the government some time ago, will be put into effect. The national pool ing of profits. also demanded by the miners, was declared impossible by the government.

France in case of German aggression or of Germany's failure to pay. The British are so occupied with their great strike that they have not had much to say about the message up to the time of writing.
 An interesting bit of comment comes from Buenos Aires, where a leading paper sees only self-interest in the future international policy of the United States.
 "The egoistic independent national ism which is proclaimed as the law of international activity by the United States is dominant in MT. Harding's words" the newspaper declares. "Americanism and Monroeism, mo- tions clear and concrete, which have had their rise and fall since 1924, re appear with more vigor than ever in the directing thought of the United States"
 Concerning domestic matters, which he declared of prime importance, MT. Harding said nothing unexpected, ex- pressing what leaders of his party called "sound Republican doctrines" He especially urged speedy relief for the ex-service men and the passage of an emergency tariff bill.
 The latter is already before con- gress, the ways and means committee of the house having reported out combination measure including the farmers tariff bill which MT. Wilson vetoed, an anti-dumping bill and new provision for the regulation of foreign exchange. The Democrats of the house speedily organized their op- position to the measure under their leader, Representative Kitchin of North Carolina. Mr. Kitchin charged that the bill is not in the interest of the farmers of the country, "but is really for the purpose of swelling the already swollen fortunes of the trusts and spectators" He declared that 1t gives ito the packers trust, the sugar trust and the woolen trust the right and privilege to take from the American people the enormous sum of over $775,OOO,OOO, increasing to that extent the present high cost of liv- ing"
