Mr.. HARDING LENDS A HAND

II1ELCOAE indications that the first con.
w gressional resolution upon the world
fair of 1926 will be something more than
an empty formality are contained in the
amendments to the Darrow measure now In
preparation by Mr.. Bland, chairman Of the
House Expositions Committee, and Repre-
sentative Mclaughlin, of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Harding is said to have suggested that
the resolution should include authority for
the President to invite participation by for.
cign countries. This Is a very material i'm
provemcnt on the measure as originally
planned and should speedily set in motion
national machinery Of an indispensable
order.
The important work Of enlisting the SYM
pathies and interest Of foreign Governments
has thus far hardly been touched. The re.
vised resolution, which seems to be assured
Of an early passage, will be of substantial
assistance to the Fair Committee ut home,
far surprising in its effect the mere ex-
preston by Congress of laudatory senti-
ments.
The next step, which can only be regarded
as a national duty, is the passage of an ap.
preparation bill commensurate with the dig
nifty and patriotic significance of the cele.
bration. 1t is perhaps proper in this situa-
ton to allow Congress time to catch its
breath and adjust its accounts, but the oh.
legation to contribute financial aid is none
the less genuine.
