Opposed by Hitchcock

Senators Hitchcock (Neb) and
King (Utah) opposed the provisions
for an embargo on dyestuffs. the for
mer pointing out that the industry
has grown to a powerful trust whose
foreign business in the last eight
months approximated $4,000, 900. No
Republican senator undertook TO say
how the American farmer was to be
aided in selling his surplus products
abroad by shutting out dyestuffs. 1t
has been frequently pointed out in the
discussion Of this bill that the troubles
of tho farmer are not due to low
tariff. but TO the collapse OF his for
eign markets.
Senator Moses not only voted
against the bill, but made a speech
against 1t in which he warned his
party OF a repetition Of its tariff policy
In the Payno-Aldrich bill OF 1909.
which paved the way for Democratic
success in the following congressional
elections, and in the national election

Can Easily Find the Cop

Among the purely political develop
ments OF the week was President
Harding's modification Of President
Wilson's order for the selection of
first. second and third class postmas-
ters under civil service requirements
Instead OF being required to select the
candidate standing highest, the ad-
ministration may under President
Harding's order give the place to any
one OF the first three at the head Of
the list. About 1900 post offices
are affected. Deserving Republicans.
who are present in Washington in
large numbers. seem TO have no doubt
that out OF the highest three on the
list the postmaster-general will find
one Republican.
Politically speaking. there is a gem
eral disposition among Democratic
leaders TO avoid carping and factious
criticism OF the Harding admlnlstra-
tion and only to oppose such meas
ures and policies as are clearly an
tagonistic to the welfare OF the coun-
try. The general inclination is to give
the administration a fair show, and
then to hold it to strict accountability
on its record.

THEY SPLIT 1T
That Is the Way That the King Got

One OF the problems that sorely
perplexes those who employ spies is
whether or not some particular spy
is not selling to the enemy as much
information as ho gives his employer.
When Louis returned to France
after his exile he appointed as his
minister OF police, FOuche. who had
served under his enemies. During a
private conversation with Fouche,
Louis asked him 20 be frank.

No Credit TO Cops

The Republican administration Is
taking some credit for Germanys ac-
ceptance OF the allied reparation de-
mands. based on Secretary Hughes
refusal to make this government a
mediator. but the foreign correspon-
dents take the view that Germany's
complete surrender was due entirely
to the readiness and determination Of
France to invade the Ruhr district
and Great Brltain's acquiescence in
the French policy.
Some of these correspondents are
skeptical about Germany keeping her
agreement. calling attention to the
fact that the present German cabinet
is only a "makcshift," and that the
element which has opposed fulfill
mcnt OF the treaty is preparing again
to take over the government. Ger
many's failure to keep her latest agree
ment would again call for action by
the allied supreme council. OF which
the United States is now member.

dent Harding.

beyond acceptance Of the league prin-
ciple and is likely to involve the Unit
ed States in foreign entanglcments
and commitments" never contem-
plated by advocates OF the league
These latter base their statements on
the language OF Secretary Hughes
note to the allies, naming the Ameri-
can representatives in the allied coun-
ellis. which is as follows:
Harvey Has His Orders
"N1r. George Harvey, appointed am
bassador to Great Britain. will be in
structcd on his arrival in England to
take part as the representative OF the
president Of the United States, in the
deliberations Of the supreme council.
The American ambassador to France
(Mr. Wallace) will be instructed to
resume his place as unofficial obser-
yer on the conference Of ambassadors
and Mr.. Roland w. Boyden will be
instructed to sit again in an unofficial
capacity on tho reparations commis-
sion"
Ambassador Wallace and Mr.. Boy
don simply resume the services of
unofficial observers" which were
performed by our ambassador to
France and by Mr.. Boyden under the
Wilson administration, but attention
is called to the fact that Col. Harvey
is not designated as an unofficial
participant in the supreme council,
but as the representative OF the pres
ident and the United States and is
"to take part in the deliberations OF
the supreme council"
Made Up Of Allied Leaders
The supreme council referred to Is
not the council OF the League Of Ma
tions, but is made up Of the allied
prcmiers. a creation OF the allies to
coordinate war activities, which went
League OF Nations was formed. There
never was any dispute that the allied
supreme council was a super-state, a
form of super-government. with auto
cratic power, backed only by force.
1t is recalled that one of the prin-
cipal objections urged against the
league was that il constituted super
state. and tho more discerning now
insist that If the league was a super
state, which they deny on the ground
that 1t was only an association of ma
tions requiring unanimous consent in
all vital action, the allied supreme
council is super-super- with
autocratic power and that by the ap-
pointment OF Col Harvey as his rep
resentative in this body, President
Harding has committed this nation as
an active participant in the very form
Of government to which he and his
party professed to be opposed.
Despite this, some Democratic lead
ers profess to forcsee that under the
guidance OF Secretaries Hughes and
Hoover, the Harding foreign policy
eventually will be TO accept the prin-
ciples OF the league, whatever the
present inconsistency and complica-
tions.
