NATIONAL LEGISLATION

Not d great deal of legislation Wa

dent Wilson's administration. The
President vetoed the bill to revive the
War Finance corporation on January

in extra session ON April IL and nearly

were emergency tariff and immigra

army down TO 10000 and the budget
bill. On April 80 the senate adopted
a resolution declaring the war with
Germany and Austria at an end on

signed the next day by President
Harding. Repeated efforts to pass a
soldiers bonus bill came to naught.
but a soldiers relief bureau was Gre
ated on August 2 and Col. c. r. Forbes

passed both a tax revision bill and q
tariff bill, but the senate did not get
around to the latter. The tax meas
are was enacted into law on Ncvem

Back to Normally was the slogan
OF 1921, not only in America but in
all the civilized nations Of he world.
But minor wars, internal economic dis
turbances, chaotic financial conditions
In Europe, widespread unemployment,
famine In Russia and other hindrances
made progress in the right direction
slow, excepting, perhaps, in the United
States.
When the year opened the peoples
were grooming under the burden Of
taxation and depression resulting from
the World war. AS il drew to a close
they were still grooming but had hope.
fully turned their eyes toward Wash
ington, where the representatives OF
great powers were negotiating inter
national agreements that would elm
mate some of the auses Of war, es-
pecially in the Far East, and limit
the means of making war. In the
success of this conference and of 9th
ers that might grow out of it lay for
the time being the hope of humanity.
Efforts to enforce the terms of the
treaty of Versailles resulted In con-
dicts among some of the new nations
created by that pact, and several OF
the older nations were involved in
warfare. Germany, working fast to
recover her old position in the world
of commerce. was hampered by the
disastrous decline in the value of the
mark, and her leaders protested con-
tinually that she could not possibly
pay the war indemnity. Peace negotl-
ations between the British government
and Sim Fein were brought to a sue
cessful conclusion by which the Irish
Free State was constituted.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The League of Nations, though
functioning without the cooperation
of the United States, accomplished
much during the year, chiefly through
Its council, which met in Paris on
February y and Immediately referred
proposed amendments to the covenant
TO a committee. President Wilson,
who during January had withdrawn
the American representatives from the
council of ambassadors and the repa-
rations commission, on February %
sen to the league council a strong
protest against the inclusion of the
island of zap in territories subjected
to the mandate of Japan, and also
formally demanded for America Z
voice In the disposal of the former
German colonies. The council in re-
ply said it was not concerned with
the ALLEGATION of zap to Japan and
invited the United States TO take part
In discussions concerning the Turkish
and African mandates. A mouth after
the Republican administration took
office Secretary of State Hughes reit-
Grated Mr.. Wilson's stand concerning
zap and mandates in general, and
later France and Italy Endorsed Amer
ica's position in the controversy over
the island, though Japan formally re-
fused to give up her mandate. There
after that dispute was the subject of
long drawn-out negotiations between
the United States and Japan which
led to a treaty by which the United
States was assured equal rights in
zap and other islands inundated TO
Japan.
The council of ambassadors in Janu-
airy " Germany more time to dis
arm, appointed a commission to pass
on Austria's economic status, decided
that Latvia and Esthonia should be
recognized as sovereign states, and
then fixed the German Preparations at
22e, OOO, 900, 900 gold marks, payable in
annual installments, and II per cent
tax on exports during the period of

few days earlier, Berlin having failed
to make the first payments, French
