A SHOWDOWN IN SIGHT

In his insistence that the present
short session of Congress enact into
law certain measures which ne has
sponsored from the outset OF his adj
ministration without creating much
enthusiasm for them among even his
own partisans, the President has in
vited an early showdown on just how
much influence he possesses with that
body since he determined to adopt
more vigorous role of party leader
ship. Heading his Legislative program
is the ship subsidy bill. He insists
that this measure be forced on lts
passage at the final session OF tins
Congress because he knows that it
stands not a ghost of chance in the
new Congress.
The test on this measure probably
will come on a motion to displace 1t
with some form of agricultural relief
LEGISLATION. A motion to this etfec;
would have been submitted before the
holiday recess but for the fact that
the proponents of such Legislation, IN
dlud,ng the usually compact farm
bloc organization, have been unable
10 unite on any measure that meets
tbe views of ali of them. Before the
end of the week the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee is expected
10 report concrete recommendations
for rural credits legislation. The com
mittee plan to reject practically all
the bills that have been before 1t and
will present new plan, based upon
the enlargement of the Federal re-
serve system TO meet the situation.
The bill which will emanate from the
Banking Committee will signalize the
administration effort to placate the
farm bloc while opposing the radical
measures that have been presented.
These call for government aid for a
single class never before attempted.
They range all the way from the Nor
ris bill, which aims to make the gov
ernment the giant middleman between
consumer and producer, to minor
measures for farm aid, including
proposal to have the Federal govern
ment insure the yearly crops of the
farmers.
If the measure thus TO be reported
out should be so soundly framed
along wide lines of practical relief
as to command the support alike OF
radicals and conservatives truly in
terested in permanently lettering con-
ditions for the farming industry as
whole, some of the opposition to the
Presidents ship subsidy proposal
might be placated and he be enabled
to get by with it under gentle
mans agreement" that both measures
be allowed to reach vote before the
expiration of the present Congress.
Under such an agreement there are
probably enough lame ducks" in the
Senate to turn the tide in favor Of
the ship subsidy bill, which already
has passed the House. Otherwise,
the chances are that the Presidents
entire legislative program will fan,
and he will be forced TO convene the
new Congress in special session 10
act on some measures which the pub
lie welfare imperativeIy demands

THE FARMERS MARKET

Gov. Allen of Kansas is quot
ed BY New York newspaper as
saving that there is no prejudice
among the farmers OF the Mid
die West against American coop
Grafton with Europe in solving
Old World problems.
"On the contrary" he says,
the farmers are ready 10 give i'll
telligent consideration to any pro-
poSal which President Harding
may advance to reopen their for
eign markets through American
help in restoring Europe. What
ever prejudice in favor of iSola-
ton may have existed two years
ago has now disappeared, and the
farmers are receptive toward any
proposal to help Europe straight
EN- out her affairs.
This Judgment is corroborated
by other observers. 1t seems to
be tri,e OF farmers generally that
they are taking an increasing in
terest in foreign affairs AS they
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-12-29

realize how much their own pros
perity is bound up with the ability
OF the foreign market to buy their
products.
1t was this fact which brought
such a favorable reaction to Glenn
enceau's message-which was, i'll
substance, an appeal for America
to join in the counsels of Europe
for the benefit OF both. 1t is nat
ural that this attitude of the farm
ing population is reflected increas-
ingiy at Washington.

rem should be seen and not heard. "
But when it comes to enterprise and
resourefulness they are "there." And
maybe. after all, that is what grows
to make the spirit of America.
Up in Seattle, for instance, the
coasting is good just now. The boys
with sleds and "bobs" have appro-
priated to their own uses all the best
for coasting. Where the hills
are long the coasters tracks pass
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-12-29

half dozen interesting streets, and
in the first day or two of the coast
ing season there were several coils
ions between sleds ana motor cars
crossing the track on thee streets.
No doubt in some countries the po-
lice Immediately would have put an
end to coast;ng. But the Seattle kids
beat them to il. They foresaw
trouble and provided against it. They
organized their own volunteer traf-
fic squad. and now kids with red
lanterns stand at all the crossings
and either make the motorists turn
back or wait till the track is clear.
And the motorists grin ard like it.
Who wouldn't?
Nothing can beat kids with spirit

few thousand members OF the
nobility and gentry it would be proper
enough to restrict information upon
national issues to those who had d
share in the decision. But manhood
and womanhood suffrage IS the law
of the land. and practically the en-
tire nation must be arbiters of natloa-
al policy. 1t is vital, therefore, that
the people be informed.
Retired cabinet members should be
particularly useful in this field
Poincare attained his present office as
a consequence Of campaign conduct
ed in the press. The former president
of France experienced no emharrasS-
ment in composing newspaper arti-
cles, and his countrymen, whose sense
of punctillio is as delicate as any,
felt 10 sense of shame. Orlando ana
Nitti were both journalists both be-
fore and after they held Office, and
the Italians are a sensitive people.
In this country, as a former President
Theodore Roosevelt wrote a weekly
editorial for the Outlook and during
the interim between the presidency
and the chief justiceship of the Su-
preme Court William Howard Taft
was frequent contributor to the
magazines.
The presidents are sound and num-
erous. Government has become pub
lie business and it must be publicly
determined. Assuredly the masses of
the neople who will profit by such dis
cussion are not likely to frown upon
honest men who retire from office IL
nancially poor but rich in experience.
For even z former prime minister may
enjoy the common rights OF free
speech and of work for self-support.

WILSON'S IDEAL

Woodrow Wilson celebrated
his Doth birthday yesterday and
was rendered the best wishes of
the American republic and of
the world at large As to show
the world the mistake it had made
in not following the lead OF Nir,
ginia'S most distinguished son
and the greatest American alive
today, as ne began his 9th year
OF his life the clouds OF war dark
ened in Europe and threatened to
throw the world back into such
an uprising and conflagratlon and
chaotic condition as that from
which it is just now trying TO re-
cover.
The greatest men OF the pres
ent age have been Invested OF att
thority and leadership. Their
schemes and proposals have been
voted down by ignorant elector-
ates. Wilson. Lloyd-George and
Clemenceau have passed from
power and the world will suffer
the loss of these men.
They were idealistS. They pic
tured the world at peace and the
nations working in perfect &C
cord, one with the other and Ill
harmony toward the same g'or-
ious end. They dreamed. but not
this alone, for they saw a way to
put into active practice that or
which they dreamed. They were
workers after peace universally
and everlastingly. They sought
to draw all nations together into
one great and omnipotent body.
The selfish people of the world
have voiced their sentiments ON
such a proposal and the three
greatest men OF modern history
are now practically political out
casts while the rest OF the world
is a Seething cauldron of uncer-
tainty and OF hostile feeling one
toward the other.
Ii seems rather coincidence
that while the greatest american
was celebrating his natal day in
the best health he has enjoyed Tor
some time-sickneSS having come

that at once the Borah PROPOSE
ton to hold an international con-
ference to settle the worlds eco
nomic affairs was opposed bit

England and Turkey approached
an open break at the Lausanne
conference. There seems to be
in these tive significant actions di-
rect opposition to the thinking OF
the worlds greatest men. Why
should America ro5 hold an eco
nomic conference with the rest
of the world when there is every
thing to he gained and nothing to
be lost: And why should Turkey
and England come near to war
that would soon involve nc gre
est powers Of the earth in such 4
strife as that which Sursed in the
