LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL

Two strong tendencies in the world of labor marked the year in the United States. One was toward a reduction of wages, as a part of the return to normalcy," and the other was toward the establishment of the open shop. Naturally both were contested by or ganized labor, not wholly successfully. The railway executives took the lead h both movements, but had many fol

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The League of Nations, though 3unctionng without the cooperation of the United States, accomplished much during the year. chiefly through It's council, which met in Paris on Eebruary 21 and immediately referred proposed amendments to the covenant to . committee. President Wilson, who AGnng January had withdrawn the American representatives from the council of ambassadors and the repa- nations commission, on February 23 sent to the league council strong protest against the inclusion of the asiand of Tap in territories subjected 10 the mandate of Japan, and also formally demanded for America svOtce In the disposal of the former German colonies. The council in re- iply said 1t was not concerned with the allOcatiOn of Yap to Japan and iinvited the United States to take part in discussions concerning the Turkish and African mandates. month after tthe Republican administration took office Secretary of State Hughes reit- srated Mir Wilson's stand concerning Nap and mandates in general, and tater France and Italy indorsed Amer ca's position in the controversy over the island. though Japan formally re .tuSed to give up her mandate. There after that dispute was the subject of long drawn-Out negotiations between the United States and Japan which led to treaty by which the United states was assured equal rights in Yap and other islands mandated to Japan.

This separations decision created consternation in Germany and Berlin at once began efforts to per suade the United States to intervene tD her behalf. The Wilson admiuiStra- zion made no response, but on April 3 Secretary Hughes informed Ger many the United States would not countenance her escaping full respon- -ability for the war or getting out of paying to the limit of her ability. A few days earlier, Berlin having failed to make the first payments, French troops occupied Dusseldorf, Duis- burg and Ruhrort. The British ob- jected strongly to this independent action and France withdrew. It would be tedious to detail the negotiations over the reparations bill. Suffice It to say that Germany, with Doctor Wirth .ae chancellor, was compelled to ac- scept the figures of 5000, 900, 900 gold nnarfs finally decided on by the su- spreme council, made the payments due Iduring the year but, on December 14. announced that the in major part of the sums due in the early part of 1922 could not be raised.

Cultivated plots made larger trees
and greater yields than those in. sod,
while on the latter. sulphate OF potash
