ties Of our situation increase with
delay.
Settlement of these matters is high
ly important from the standpoint of
national revenue and outlay. We are
now carrying and paying out OF cur
rent revenues load Of approximate
ly $500, ,000,0 900 per annum of interest
charges on sums due US by foreign
governments. We ought to know as
soon as possible how soon Europe can
begin to assume a portion at least of
this load we are now carrying on her
account.
Hence. the Importance Of the early
passage by the Senate of the bill pro-
viding for appointment Of a commits
sion to formulate the basis Of settle
ment of the business growing out of
lending $1,000, 900 to the foreign
nations
1t is very highly important that the
general tariff bill shall be placed on
the statute books at the earliest pos
sible moment. The House passed this
bill on July 21. The Senate has al
ready had hearings on some features
OF this legislation. and it is to be
hoped. republican leaders say, that
the Senate will be able to dispose of
that measure in the reasonably near
future.
1t is true that there are some who
In view Of the uncertainties as to for
eign production cost and the disar-
rangement of foreign currencies, are
inclined to the opinion that early
enactment Of a general tariff bill is
not wise. Such opinion has no sound
basis in the logic OF the situation
the dominant majority Of the repub-
licans in Congress protest. All real
ize that there are difficulties sur
rounding the writing of tariff laws
at time like this, but it is empha-
sized that those difficulties will con-
tinue for some time. That the writ
ing of a general tariff law that shall
be reasonably permanent in all of its
provisions is impossible, but the very
situation renders it all the more i'm
portant that the best possible settle
ment of the questions Of tariff rates
be made at the earliest possible mo-
ment. 1t is altogether likely that
some changes in the tariff bill drawn
at this time would be necessary
within a comparatively short time as
production costs, measured in ex-
change values. changed, but that
could be readily accomplished. and
in the meantime the manufacturing

The House is prepared, with decks
fairly well cleaned. to dispose Of the
appropriation bills as fast as they
come from the committee. There has
been serious consideration of the
practicability of co-ordinating all of
the appropriation bills into one mas
ter bill. which would show at a
glance the cost of government. It
is pretty well agreed that expedi-
tious procedure will not allow this
now, although it is probable that the
appropriations committee will work
toward such a master appropriation
bill as soon as it is feasible.
The House appropriations commit
tee is ready to take up the depart

diligence, Chairman Madden says.
This is the first time that these esti-
mates have come in under the fed
eral budget system. and it is highly

By N. O. MESSENGER.

TRESIDENT HARDING has un-
~ ieashed another idea in con-
nection with the armament
limitation proposition. and
sent it forth in full cry. to be received
with acclaim. 1t will be recalled that
the first suggestion anent armaments
related to limitation of land and ma
val forces, expanded Subsequently to
take in far eastern questions as war
breeders and thereby germane to
maintenance of navies.
Now comes the President with the
logical sequence Of this conference,
the suggestion that there shall be
periodical meetings OF this kind to
smooth out wrinkles arising between
nations. So the international council
board plan fourishes on what II
feeds upon, and sprouts and sends
forth buds of promise.
When it is said that the suggestion
was hailed with acclaim the state
ment must be hedged with reserva-
tions and explanations. There was
Senator Borah, for example, who re-
ceived it with a groan, a sigh and
look of dark suspicion. He is repre-
sentative of a class in this country
who groaned and sighed and looked
as he did. Then there are some OF
the foreign nations who seem to have
gotten off on the wrong foot In their
comprehension of the scope of the
proper realization by subsequent
elucidation.
Senator Borah shifted the odor OF
another league Of nations drifting
down the wind from the unknown
shores of the future. and to him II
was no spice-laden breeze from
tropic isle, but as the icy blast from
some bleak coast, for which ne Is
ever upon the alert.
At last accounts. Senator Borah sun
NAV be said to "ha'e his doots' about
the plan and remains yet to osa
shown.
Overseas, the Presidents sugges-
tion also seemed to be in places con-
strued as promising a bridge tha'
night lead this country into the
league Of nations which is altogether
incomplete without the presence OF
the United States. In that quarter
the acclaim was loudest, although
misplaced.
In this country, which Is convinced
that the present conference is bound
to be a success. the first round OF ap-
plause was ELECTED by comprehension
of the central thought that II the
conference Is a success, and proves
to be a good thing. why not repeat?
The future is we'll understood to be
potential with maiy other vexing
questions between the nations that
should yield to treatment.
Then came further explanation last
week Of what is in the Presidents
mind. He does not propose the gath
erins of nations around the council
board as either a rival OF the league
of nations or an elaboration OF II.
Tho principle governing the two
schemes is different. The league OF
nations Is based upon a written char
ter with provisions for enforcing Its
commands by force majeur If neces-
sary. What the President has In view
is an assembling of nations to dis
pense with the necessity OF the appil-
cation of force by any one to any one.
The Presidents friends say that his
plan is founded upon the same basis
of common sense and practically on
which rests the armament and far
eastern conference-which is. to get
,opether. talk it over like rational

- ONGREss comes back tomor-
row-on trial.
The members have been
back home-into practically
every state in the Union-and they
are coming back with the one
fact forcibly impressed upon them
| that the people are not satisfied,
whether justly or unjustly, with the
work Of the extra session.
OF course, the Senate comes in for
the major share of the blame, and no
one knows this any better than those
senators who are coming up for re-
election and who appreciate that
something must be done to satisfy
| the voters.
The incoming session has its work
| well mapped out. The Senate must
| make speed in passing the railroad
funding and the foreign debt funding
, legislation and the tariff bill in order
! that Industry may be stabilized as
| far as possible. The outstanding work
before the House is to draft and pass
| the government supply bills. the first
| under the new federal budget system
| and to act definitely upon the pro-
posal for bonus to former service
men. 1t is generally recognized that
the decision on the bonus question
will have a very strong influence on
/ the next election.
House Leader Mondell plans that
the unfinished business before the
House on the Lehlbach bill for re-
classification Of government employees
shall be disposed of as soon as pos
sible.
X X X
The unfinished matters of business
before Congress that are of the most
Importance. in the opinion of leaders
! are the funding measures Both are
| tremendously important-one from the
standpoint Of the domestic and inter-
| nal situation. and the other from the
| standpoint Of our relations with the
world and internal relations as il
| objects matters Of taxation and
revenue.
No legislation that has been sug-
gested would do more toward help
| ing out the situation generally than
| the passage Of the railroad funding
bill in approximately the form in
! relieve the railroads from the possi-
| bility Of being called upon immedi-
ately for sums they owe the govern
ment for equipment and betterments
, during federal control. At the same
time it would enable the government
to realize on railroad securities II
obtained in the Wilson administra-
ton and those that might be taken
in the funding of railroad obligations
to the government.
It would tend to put the railroads
in a still better condition to reduce
freight rates. 1t would relieve the
Treasury to the extent that railroad
securities were absorbed by the in
vesting public.
The foreign debt refunding bill is
of primary Importance, because every
day Of delay in arriving at an agree
ment with our foreign debtors as to
the terms of payment of the sums
they owe US is likely to complicate
the situation because Of understand
ing had in the meantime between
these nations.
It is highly important that our ne
gotiations with the nations Of Europe
owing us large sums shall not be de-
layed beyond the time when these ma
tions are arranging among them
selves for the settlement of their OBJ
legations to each other. The difficult

to pessimism when they discuss the possibilities of the conference.
 When, forelgns powers exchange notes, we shfIer,'' is the saying of Dr. F. @. Tong, a Chinese liberal leader here, and all thinking Ceiestials rec cgnize it as a proverD.
 China has always come out the lit tie end of the horn when foreign gov ernments got together to discuss her affairs, and that is why the Chinese now cite the present impression as a great tribute to America-the impress slon that there is at least some hope in a conference the suggestion for which came from the United States.
 Nevertheless and notwithstanding there is that. underlying strain of pes simism.
 Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Portugal, and almost all the rest of the powers large and small, have intermixed in Far East affairs to their own profit and to Chi mas loss, both in territory and pres tige.
 The presence of Chinese envoys at the table will mean much to China, but Chinese tell me daily that theIr greatest guarantee that the opening conference will not repeat ancient his tory is that America will sit there with her.

Warns Cattleman To Guard Against
 Black Leg Spread

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. z5. Ed Stephens, secretary of the state live stock sanitary board, has addressed a letter to all cattle growers in Arizo- na, urging them to guard against black leg.
 Last year." said the letter, "the livestock sanitary board called to the attention of the cattlement that they stood to lose d cool million dollars by the ravages of black leg unless prompt action was taken. The advice was needed and the loss was compar- atively small compared to former years.
 This year. on account of the splen- did range conditions which mean a very rapid taking on Of flesh, the livestock is more susceptible to black leg and unless the growers again heed the advice, they stand to lose even moro than was predicted last year"
 The letter then advises the cattle growers to use vaccine which the board distributes and quoted the prices on it.

 ! s'f, What Will Japan Do?
 Such contingency, it must be said, is a possibility rather than a prob- ability.
 Meantime China is elated over the consideration shown her by President harding. Chinese look upon t..:s action as a good augury, presaging q, day when they will not be kicked all over the lot by every selfish power that takes the notion.
 In Chinese circles the fear is that Japan, at the last moment, will throw the monkey-wrench into the conIer- ence machinery and wreck it for pur- poses of her own.
 I hey argue that Japan's policy, as indicated in the famous 21 demands and in the Lansing-ishii conversations does not jibe with the ''open door" policy of the United States.
 Desires Weak China?
 They also point out that Japan has DdShCu, StilI DdShih5, hOI OhC, but various factions in China, proyid- ing money and arms for them to con duct wars against one another.
 To the Chinese this is proof that Japan sees her opportunity not in a united, peaceful, prosperous China, but Tn disrupted, war-ridden, cha otic nation incapable of resisting ag- gressiveness.
 If the Chinese are right in these suppositions, it may reasonably be ex- pected, they claim, that Japan will throw obstacles in the way of a con- ference, having for it's objects, first, a united, independent China and set tied conditions in the orient, and, sec ondly, disarmament as the result of calm in the Pacific.

BY VIM, PHILIP SIMMS

SHANGHAI, Aug. 20. - The fate of China and the peace of the world hangso n the decisions reached by great powers called into conference by President Harding.
 1nIs Is the opinion of allSwho have, for some tune past, been watching the complex situation in the Far East.
 IT, as a result or that conference, the united States, Japan and Great britain can reacn an agreement re- galumg the IuLure in the Pacitlc and the renaDlllLaIIun of China along gen tune open door lines, the danger of war wiII be averted and President frize for Peace.
 To the contrary, it is generally rec ognized here, should the conference break up without some such agree ment having been reached, only a miracle can save the world from the real Armageddon.
 Danger of Explosion
 Today the principal powers inter- ested in Asia are following the policy of "watchful waiting" That is, They are watching each other and waiting for something to happen.
 China, meantime, is seething and no one can tell from one day to an other what will come.
 The one thing to be feared is that China may explode from within be- fore President Harding's conference can get under way, thus creating now met.
 The overt act of any one of a doz- en corrupt, grasping Tuchuns, against the nationals of foreign power. could quite conceivably result in the occupation of Chinese territory by the offended power if not in actual hos tilities. Such state of affairs would place such power in position or
