sist domination by the Executive as
the farm bloc does, but may even ef-
feet shift Of power away from the
White House to the Hill. The swing
today Is Enthusiastically in that direction.
This, briefly, is the ferment that Mr..
Harding sees, though this may not be
the way he sees 1t. 1t has been respon.
sible for the chief disappointments Of
the year, the failure Of any large legis-
lative program, the adoption Of policies
upon n hand-to- mouth basis.
Legislatively, there have not been
fruitful results, and the public blames
Congress-, with the chance that a Dem
ocratic House will succeed the present
Republican House. In other respects
Mr.. Harding has done well. Still, you
have in the results of this year the lin
its that are set to Cabinet government.
Important policies do not originate
in the Cabinet except foreign policies.
All other important policies originate
In Congress- or in the CO. operation of
Congress and the Executive. The
Cabinet IL made up of administrative
officers. Mr.. Harding has an excel.
lent Cabinet, but 1t has not contributed
much toward the solution Of the bigger
problems before the country and the
world. 1t is not in position to do
so, except 20 far rs foreign relations go.
In foreign relations Mr.. Harding
has been remarkably successful. The
Arms Conference accomplished more Of
what 1t set out to do than any other
international gathering in history. It
established the peace Of the world upon
securer foundations. And 1t pointed
the way to settlement of disputes
among Powers by the conference
method.
The major international difficulties

remain unsolved and perhaps insoluble
in the immediate future. There IL no
neace of Europe In any real sense OF
Tho word. boundaries VI nations were
left uncertain by the Paris peace, or
NO established that no one regards
them as permanent.
Indsmnitses Stin Unsettled
Indemnities owed by vanquished to
yictors are still the subject OF dispute.
Upon these questions the Admlnistra.
tion has shown a disposition to turn
Its back.
nornic nature seem to be related to
Europe's troubles, and the Admins.
tration has not met them. Perhaps no
administr ation could. Certainly none
could with the governmental system as
unavoidable as IL h with the Execu.
tive weaker, party authority gone,
business as a guiding principle divided
and unsure and Congress perhaps
evolving into the means Of expression
Of new forces in the political life OF
the country.
Mr.. Harding retains, after a year
and a trying year ut that--of idleness
and smali profits, all his personal popu.:
iarity, He Is emphatically a good
sort. not inspired or inspiring. but
honest. sensible and .intentioned.
The public disposition is to soy that
he has done all that could be expected
in the circumstances. The circum.
stances are unfavorable. The problems
are difficult, almost to the point OF In.
solubility, The mechanism does not
function. There Is too much ferment.

retincrS and the American promoters of
the Cuban sugar industry are counteriug
with "A campaign in favor of Il lower
duty on Cuban sugar. arguing that it
would mean cheap sugar To the con
sumner. In answer to this the domestic
producers point 10 what happened dur
ing the war when the price OF sugar
went up beyond all previous bounds and
when Cuba was vital factor in sup
plying world needs. In other words.
they contend that the prices Will follow
ne demand and that if the American
producers are forced, to curtail their
production through economic necessity.
Cuba will again ignore the duty and sell
sugar ut high figure to the American
household. The | nited States, of
course. has no control over Cuban
monepoleS or price fixing. Secretary
Hoover of the department of. commerce
Is taking particular interest in the
sugar situation because when he was
food administrator he found that Ser
tain Cuban sugar producers combined
to force mp the price of the 1917 Cuban
crop and the advance of 10 cents alone
American people of over $4,000, 600 by
| the end of December
Again in 1920-21 Cuba held back her
crop for higher prices even though
| Americans were paying - cents per
pound for graHulated at retail and Gu
30 cents per pound. 1t is estimated that
this cost the American consumer 5000,
100000,
Farm Bloc with Domestic Producers.
! 1t seems certain that the farm bloc
| will stand back of the domestic produc-
ieTs because the members of congress from
agricultural states represent districts
with approximately 100000 acres of
| land devoted TO beet sugar production,
and the price of sugar controls the
amount paid to the farmer for his beet
sugar The farmer claims he cannot
! produce at pre-war costs because trans
portation and other items have gone up
i in cost.
While there are few senators from
/ the refining states who will advocate a
| duty considerably lower than the pres
ent one. it is safe To predict that in the
| final analysis IL duty will be imposed at
Il rate sufficiently high to eonhne Cuba
to- the, normal supply of 80 per cent OF
! American requirements. Meanwhile do
meStic producers are carefully scanning
| the farm produce marketing law re-
Gently signed by President Harding TO
learn whether by its provisions some
| freight costs and wasteful methods of
distribution may be eliminated.
| But the nub of the problem is rcgu-
| lation of the Cuban output. Efforts
/ thus far to have Cuba arrange her laws
| 30 Is to conform with American eCS-
nOmic conditions have failed. Laws
passed at this time can always be re
/ pealed when the Cubans wish it. Moth
| ing short of a treaty binding Cuba To a
reciprocity agreement would satisfy the
! elements in the American congress who

| not be left at the mercy of Cuban pro
| motors and manipulators. of production

WASHINGTON. Feb. -. - The
Harding administration does not look
with favor upon the proposal made by
'uba that she will impose an export
luty OF sugar only after a certain eX-
,ort amount has been exceeded. Sena-
u Snoot of Utah and others upon

While the soldier bonus and the

Ter the surface than either subject. In

the Republican party and that failure

SOLDIERS GIVEN PREFERENCE,

In frantic fault-fnding activities directed against
the present administration at Washington the demo-
cratic press and some of the more irresponsible
members of the disconnected minority in congress
have charged discrimination against ex-service men
in the appointment OF postmasers. The charge has
been revived periodically although in each the
allegations of unfairness TO former soldiers were
shown up in all their partisan crudeness and falsity.
Now comes the postoffice department with the
rrefutable facts, and the administrations foes
as usual, cffectually senced From March 4, 1921,
to May 20. 1922 the department announces, 1851 ex
service men certified eligible following civil
service examinations to fill postmaserships AL
though many instances three former soldiers
placed the eligible list for single postoffce, yet
S73 service men were appointed When it is re-
nembered that in all Of these civil service examina
tons in which former soldiers made the eligible
grade many candidates without records were
also entered it is not hard to that all the dis
examination in favor OF the former soldiers.
Facts the great foe Of the Harding admins
traton's critics Allegations OF this and that are
made bosterously for a time. then the facts arc
made available and the muckrakers are forced to
turn their activities into different channels only to
encounter a similar denouement. The charges OF
discrimination against service in appointment
OF postmasters is case in point.
