AsANDoNs LEADERSHIP
or SHIP SUBSIDY SILL


When President Harding decided
to become the leader OF his party In
fact as well as in name In matters
Of legislation he voluntarily elected
to test his leadership on the ship
subsidy bill. OF ship bonus, as II is
called. The statement was then
made in his name that II the con-
gress adjourned without passing the
bill he would call IL back in special
session. His consent to the post
ponement of the ship subsidy bill
until the regular session in December
is an abandonment of his leadership
and a surrender to the fears of the
Republican members Of congress who
are running for reelection.
The refusal of the Ohio Republi-
cans even TO mention the ship sub
sidy bill in their state platform, not
withstanding the presidents request
for an endorsement, indicates the ex-
tent Of the Republican fear that the
enactment of this scheme for dissi-
pating the peoples millions would
add one more to their chances for
defeat in November.
This presidential consent to delay
the bill comes apparently as a result
OF the pressure which the Republi-
cans of the house of representatives
have brought to bear on Mr.. Hard
ing.
In the course of President Hard
ing's letter to Majority Leader Mon
dell, of the house, there is revealed
the situation which confronted him
and compelled him to yield in the
face of the seeming disinclination of
the Republican congressman to sac
rifice their hopes of election by pass
ing the bill before November Z.
Il had much rather the bill should
await consideration until we can
rivet the attention of congress with
a full attendance than jeopardize it's
success by pressing for an immediate
decision" wrote Mr.. Harding to Ma
jority Leader Mondell
1t has become pretty evident that
the Republican representatives and
senator's who are seeking election
have been badly frightened by the
popular reaction against the Fordney-
profiteers' tariff bill and
the muddling of legislation generally.
These congressman have shown a
to revolt rather than fur
ther infiame public indignation by
making present of the
peoples merchant marine to clique
of powerful corporations.

FRENCH SUSPICIOUS
Of L|bER|AN. LOAN
Wants Part of $5,0O0,0 900
Used on Railways to Help
French Colonies.
u. S. ACTION WATCHED
Liberian Diplomats Ready to Seek
Funds Elsewhere If q. S.
Senate Balks Move.
BY WILLIAM f. NASH.

BY Cable 10 The star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1922.
PARIS, September France desires
that a part Of the S5,000,000 loan
voted by the American House of
Representatives to the Republic of
Liberia be expended on railways
linking the negro free state to the
French colonies in western Africa.
Some French politicians look with
suspicion on the conditions Of the loan.
These facts came out as the result Of
an interview held in Paris between Ed
win Barclay, foreign minister of Libe-
ria, and Raymond Poincare, premier OF
France.
"French territory in Africa bor-
ders US on three Sides" said Minis
ter Barclay to the writer today. 1T
is only natural, therefore, that we
should wish to keep on good terms
with France. In coming to Europe l
could not avoid paying q visit to the
French foreign Office. After the
United States, which since the days
of emancipation has acted as a big
brother to US, we look to France as
friend and protector. Moreover,
there are two important frontier
questions outstanding between US"
Mr.. Barclay Is not over forty years
OF age, is light in color and remark
ably well informed for negro who
until now has never been out of
Africa 1t is said that he Is de-
scendant of one of the American
freedmen transported to Africa by
American philanthropic societies
after the civil war. He speaks Eng
1ish and French f1uently. Hiss visit
to France follows the trip to Wash
ington made last year by the presi-
dent of the Liberian Republic.
1t is admitted by Liberian diplo-
mats here that If for reasons of
economy the S5,000,000 loan fails to
pass the American Senate, where it
is now held up, Liberia. may be
forced to turn elsewhere for aid and
money. She must have capital, be-
cause economic development has be-
come a necessity. AT least two other
nations are supposed to be willing
to grant the money If the United
States is not. France and Great
Britain have more important inter-
ests in Liberia than has the United
States.

D. c. SCHOOLS HAVE
| COAL FOR MONTH
Officials at Government Fuel
Yard Prepare for Ex- :
pected Demands.
SUPPLY RECEIVED DAILY
Though Bins Are Not Filled, No
Serious Shortage Is
Feared.
SUPPLY RECEIVED DAILY

Coal bins In the District public
schools, usually filled at this time of
the year with the winters supply. are
without enough fuel to keep the
schools in operation for more than a
month in cold weather. it was learned
today. The shortage, however, has
not caused any grave concern In
school administration, quarters be-
cause of the assurance of officials of
tho government fuel yard. where the
coal supply for the public schools is
obtained that the schools would be
protected. The officials, therefore,
feel confident that the schools will
not be forced to close temporarily in
Gold weather on account of the lack
of coal.
At the federal fuel yards 1t was
said today that bituminous coal for
the schools and other departments of
the municipal government is coming
in daily under the priority orders of
the government fuel administrator
and that no shortage is feared with
the advent of the first chilling
weather. 1t also was pointed out that
coal from the non-union New River
fields has been coming into the yard
all summer in sufficient quantities
to meet the requirements Of the
municipal government for several
months at least.
Although we have not filled the
bins in the public schools" said an
official of the government fuel yard.
"all of the schools have small sup
ply of fuel and are reasonably we'll
protected. The binsswere not filled to
capacity. as ordered by school au-
thorities, because of the uncertainty
of the fuel situation this winter. But
l am confident that II coal continues
to come in as it Is now under the
priority orders We will be able to fur
nish the schools with all the fuel they
need"

some months after the eclipse that
