ACTION BY BRAND
CAUSES CONFUSION
Has Effect on Reparations
and May Mean End Of

LONDON, January 12.-Premier Bri-
and's unexpected resignation. without
waiting for a vote In the chamber of
deputies. has occasioned great sur
prise in London. and the indefinite ad-
journment Of the supreme council, 1t
is feared. means the breakup Of the
Cannes meeting. 1t at least throws
the whole reparations question into
extreme confusion. At
There is a noteworthy parallel in
the fact that both Lloyd George and
BRAND went to Cannes. each with ms
hand on the pulse; Of the political sit
uation at home. British and French
politics completely dominated the
Cannes meeting. -.
Fear of Nntfsnalists.

former premier and minister OF war,
against his yielding TO what they
considered the Lloyd Georgian poll
cy" in the supreme council. This op-
position was clearly 'antagonistic 10
any derogation- from. the terms OF the
Versailles treaty. and even against an
Anglo-French alliance. which would
compel France to recognize the soviet
government and tie the hands OF the
French With regard to submarines
and any assistance to Poland.
Mr. Lloyd George. on the other hand,
is credited with going to Cannes with
the intention of availing himself OF
the expected decision for European
economic conference, which would
hold out the expectation Of the reha.
bilitation Of central Europe ana
thereby promise solution of the
difficult unemployment problem and
trade depression.
II was contended that these would
provide useful planks. combined with
the Irish settlement and the success
of the Washington conference. for an
other appeal to the country, which, 1t
.s understood, he intended to make in
February.
Obstacles to New Party.
The British prime , minister was
further credited with intending to form
a new national party" with rather
liberal than conservative leaning, but
his plans have met with the strongest
opposition from the extreme conserva-
tive wing of the coalition. which was
against such an early election because
ii was desired to force the premier to
legislate for the reform of the house
of lords and restore to the lords the
power Of veto over legislation by the
house of commons. which. by Mr.. Lloyd
Georges efforts. the lords were de-
prived of a decade ago.
The French crisis. az viewed here.
unless solved by the recall Of BRAND
to power, would seem to threaten the
disarraying Of all these plans.

gruntled Republican has perhaps been vent
ing his discomfort for weeks past. He
reaches the polls and realizes that he is face
to face with the alternative of voting for a
republican candidate for the House of Rep
resentatives or democratic candidate. In
states where senator's are to be chosen, the
same choice is presented to him. What shall
he do? Shall he reverse his vote of 1920 and
declare to himself that democrat in Con-
gress is more to his liking than republican?
Will he consider that, taking it by and large,
a democrat would, do better than-a republic
can, or the republican whom he helped elect
two years ago!
X X X X
1t Is a psychological proposition in way
that the republican managers are banking
on, and yet, as they view it, practical one,
too. They make the further point that the
national administration is not on the printed
ballot, but the name of candidate, in most
cases SO far as the House is concerned,
known to the voter, for the vast majority
of the ineumbents have been renominated. .
Take the case of the bonus question, it is
further argued, as test of action for the
discontented republican, supposing that he
was against the bonus. Shall he vote against
the republican candidate for having sup
ported the bonuss Well, SO did the demo-
crat. There seems no chance to express his
disgruntlement on that question
X X X x
Then there is the tariff question, the re-
publican managers go on to argue. Does he
think that the tariff is too high? Well, if
he votes for democrat he declares his ad-
vocacy of the theory of practically no tariff
at all, and that is not likely to rest we'll on
his protectionist stomach, it is contended.
The logical result of these considerations, if
the voter stops to discuss them with him.
self, is counted upon by the republican man
ayers to induce him to swallow his ire and
vote the straight ticket.
X X X x
If it should be asked why the republican
managers admit the probability of a large
falling off in the republican representation
in the next House, in view of this line of
reasoning and explanation satisfactory to
themselves, the answer is that it is but nat
ural and normal to expect the democrats to
gain number of their districts, rightfully
belonging to them on the face of past elec.

At an Undercurrent of Dissatisfaction

ton returns, and of which they were deprived
in 1920 by state of countrywide discomfort
with the democratic administration of several
years accumulation, and on great national
issue which has no parallel in this congress
sional election.
X X X X
How far the results of the tariff legisla-
ton will affect the independent vote of the
country is expected to depend largely upon
whether there is an immediate rise In the
prices of commodities and the necessaries
of life, which the democrats may be able to
successfully gttribute to the high protective
duties of the law. And, also, to the extent
to which industry will revive and employ
ment of labor increase. In point of fact,
employment is not very far from normal at
this time, barring the case of those workers
who are still out of their own choice and
volition. 1t may be that there will not ensue
such a noticeable increase in employment
within the next five weeks as to have an
appreciable effect upon the election.
X X X
The republicans are not afraid of a nor
NAL increase in the cost of living, only ap-.
pretending some sudden squirt in prices up-
ward in special lines, to which the democrats
can call attention. -
Their observation has been that as long
as labor is at work and getting good wages
it wants to buy the best and pay for it. 1t
is the fellow in the middle class, on salary
small perhaps, but, as John Allen of Mis-
sissippi used to say, powerful regular'-who
will feel any pinch in higher costs.
X
There is much speculation among OBJ
servers as to the probable cause of the ex-
isting disgruntlement toward "the admins
tration." The explanation most frequently
offered is that it is due to inability of the
administration to settle the strikes and to
the methods used.
1t is typical of the American temperament
that fault should be found with the execu-
tive for not using "strong-arm" methods at
the outset; at not doing something out
of hand to break down one side or the other
to the controversy.
Yet, to one who knows his people, it
may be asked, would not these critics have
been the first to berate the executive for
resorting to such tactics, instead of seeking
to pacify and settle on terms of justice?

part of the winter, SO that a very
bountiful supply of fruits is not alb
solutely essential to their well being.
Apart from the above facts it is
evident that If we are to take into
consideration cause and effect we
must view the situation from the bo-
tanical aspect and endeavor to discover
why the-plants produce small or
large crop in any particular season.
Obviously the production of the fruit
is dependent upon past and not future
conditions. In other. words the plants
produce according to conditions they
have undergone ana not because of
some condition they are to undergo
at some future time. Plants, though
animate, are unlike man in that they
are incapab Bile OF thought or reason, and
canrot therefore surmise what condi-
tons they may be called upon to under
go in the future, 30 that they do not
make preparations for those condi-
tions as man does.
Briefly put, an excess Of fruits in
dicates that tho preceding season was
ono during which conditions were OK
ceptionally favorable and not that
the winter which Is to como will be
q severe one
There II. however. ono fact that
may generally be considered as pos
sibly true. and that Is that a prolific
fruit crop normally indicates-a mod
erately mild preceding winter. 1t
rarely happens that we have two mild
winter In succession. and If we ac-
cept this as a fact it may be per-
missable to look forward with a GER
tain degree Of probability to more
severe winter than the preceding one
when there Is prolific yield of fruits.
That there Is no other relation be-
tween the abundance Of fruits and
the severity Of the following winter
has been established by collected
facts.
Neither signs nor protracted studies
of climatic conditions or other ele-
ments have suficed In the past as q
basis for deductions as to the prob
able severity or otherwise Of any sea-
son. nor Is it at all probable that
they will prove moro useful or suE-
gestive in the future.

BY N. o. MESSENGER.

~ NE would need to be purposely obliv-
ious to an obvious-or rather an
" audible-fact to seek to deny that
at the present time in this country
there is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction
with the national administration, which, in
this sense. is to include the executive as we'll
as the legislative branch. The man in the
street hears of it, the party managers in both
camps realize 1.-THE republicans with con-
Germ, but not with dismay, and the demo-
Gratis with qualification, but without conf
dence of its vitality controlling effect in
November.
The fact being admitted that it exists,
the queries naturally arise, to what is it due,
and how do the political managers view its
possible effect?
X X x
Discussing the second question first, the
democratic managers hope that the surface
outcroppings of the republican disaffection
will be made more manifest in the Novem-
Der elections by reduced republican ma
jority in the national House of Representa-
tives and a largely increased representation
of democrats. The republicans admit that
such will be the case, the estimates of the
reduced majority varying, of course.
The democrats will be ready to claim that
this slump in the republican vote will be in
dicative of an altered public political senti-
ment, looking to the presidential campaign
of 1924. The republicans are not prepared
to admit this in its entirety, asserting that
natural contributing causes other than dis
satisfaction with the administration will at
feet the Congress vote this fall.
X X X X
1t is pointed out that President Harding
is not running this year, and it IS far cry
to 1924. Moreover, it is claimed by the re-
publicans that the present state of discon-
tent with the administration, however wide
spread it is, its depth and area not easily
surveyed, is but temporary distemper which
will decrease as time increases the vista
In fact, the republican leaders believe
that by next election day, November 7, to
wit, the republican .disaffection will have
been largely abated. so far as its actual
manifestation in the voting is concerned.
Here is the point, in their estimate of the
outlook. 1t is election day, and Mr.. Dis
