Premier Baldwin refused to make

and other newspapers took it for
granted that the Baldwin govern

The result is a body blow to the
proposal for a protective tariff and
an equally important victory for
the Liberals policy Of free trade.
Should Premier Baldwin and his
cabinet resign and a new govern

a strong effort will be made to have
Lloyd George appointed foreign Sec

Such an appointment would mean
q stiffening of British policy towards

PAYRA|SE
Gen. Lord Notifies Commits
sioners-Measure Will Now
Go to Congress.

The District Commissioners were
today advised by the Budget Blu
reau that President Coolige has
approved the proposed bill to pro-
vide for increased pay for Wash
tngton police and firemen.
Explanation was made by Brig.
Gen. Lord, director Of the Budget,
IN a communication to the City
Heads that he had presented the
draft of the bill to the President
and he was instructed by the Presi-
dent to inform the Commissioners
that their requests in this instance
was not in conflict with his pres
ent financial program.
Will Lose Bonus.
Salary increases of 500 for the
superintendent of police and 81 200
for the chief engineer of the fire
department are provided in the bill,
while the salaries OF the three
classes of police and fire privates
10 set at $500, $1,000 and $4,000
per year.
The Commissioners make 1t plain
that the reason they are making
the salary increases of the police
and fire employees separate is be-
cause they will lose the bonus next
year and do not come under the
classification.
Increases in the proposed bill
would become effective July /, 1924.
Going to Congress-.
Now that the bill has the proper
approval of the Budget Bureau, It
will go to Congress for introduction.
Following are the salaries provided
for various police and fire classifi-
cations in the proposed bill: AS
sistants. $500; inspectors, $3.50:
captains, $500: lieutenants, $500,
and sergeants, $4,000.

ton ana a place In the Cabinet
for q Secretary OF Education.
He favors railroad cOnsolida-
tons and coal mine consultations,
and hopes that these Oonsollda-
lions win relieve the difficulties
of the present unsatisfactory sit
uation In each case, although ne
does not make II entirely clear
how q more complete private
monopoly OF the essentials Of fuel
and transportation 10 going to BEN
eft the public.
The President, while opposed 20
public ownership Of shipping, APP
parently Is not opposed to ali
public ownership, and states that
the established policy Of ''reclama-
ton development" by the Gov.
eminent should not be abandoned
for any private control.
The President urges organiza-
ton among the farmers to over
come their marketing difficulties,
but does not offer much encour-
sgement Of Government assist
ance. He seems to think that
God helps those who help them
selves" and that consequently
there IL no occasion for the Gov.
eminent to interfere.
The President opposes the sol
diers' bonus.
The message. ON the whole, il
extremely conservative, although
1t has q few semiprogresstve
recommendations
It might be said that the Re
publican elephant stands pat with
three feet. and tinidly tests the
timbers Of the progressive bridge
with the fourth foot.
The best things about the Presi-
dents message are his support of
Secretary Melons tax program,
his educational recommendations,
his advocacy Of q limitation OF
child labor and q minimum wage
law for women.
The worst things are his advo-
cacy Of our joining the League
Of Nations World Court, and his
opposition to the soldiers bonus.
AS both of these declarations
were unnecessary, we must give
the President credit for courage,
IL not for q very accurate under-
standing of popular sentiment.
The three things that the people
OF the United States are most de-
termined upon are:
FfrSt-TO keep free entirely
from any further European COM
plications;
Second-To reward adequately
"a
safely out OF our last European
ENHANCEMENT:
Third-To reduce as promptly
as possible the burden of taxation
which our recent adventure in
European conflicts created.
If the President had said that
he Endorsed Secretary Melons
plan Of tax reduction and would
not sign any soldiers bonus bill
that was not accompanied by
some such provision as the sales
tax to supply the funds to pay
the soldiers bonus, he would have
adopted a much more popular
policy.
And If he had allowed the World
Court Of the League of Nations
to expire along with the discredited
League Of Nations and waited for
an opportunity to establish some
genuine arbitration tribunal he
would have been in a much
stronger and sounder position.
President Coolidge's message, on
the whole, probably will please
the Republican party more than
It will please the public.
It may nominate him, but
something more than this will be
required to elect him.
