in the home market and conse-
quently lower prices inside the
United States for these same agri-
cultural products.
The ship subsidy question de-
ponds largely for its solution on
the attitude of the farm bloc. The
president from now on will say to
that bloc that he believes they
should support the legislation de-
sired by another class whenever
that legislation is in the national
interest. Otherwise the farm bloc
will forfeit the sympathy of the
rest Of the country when their own
measures of national interest are
being debated. 1t is not in a bar
gaining spirit that the administra-
ton approaches the farm bloc and
courts its support for the ship sub
sidy bill but it is an attempt to
apply the golden rule to party
groups.
Hopes for Entente.
Everybody, including the presi-
dent, has a better understanding
today of the why and wherefore OF
the bloc system in congress than
a year ago. The outbursts of the
representatives in congress Of par
ticular sections of the country are
recognized as due largely to tine
absence of broad and all encom-
passing leadership. 1t is due also
to the transition period in Repub-
lican affairs. The passing of the
old leaders comedies with the ar
rival from the west of new mem
bers who have not the same faith
in the effectiveness Of party confer
ence and party leadership as the
old timers have had. What Mr..
Harding hopes is to establish an
entente between numerous groups
in congress so that the majority OF
them can gradually be brought to-
gether in frequent conference and
thus welded into party unit again
Here shouting against the bloc OF
group system has proved futile
chiefly because the alternative
party organization-offered no bet.
