MARKET B0Ws TO' POLITICAL EVENTS.
Comeback Of Railroads Proves Marvel Of Ameri-
 can Management
By WALTER F. BROWN Market Editor New York Commercial Licensed Wire to The Age-HeraId.)

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-The events of overshadowing importance during the week have been the assembling of the Sixty-eighth Congress and the delivery of the Presidents mes sage.
 It is a curious anomaly of our laws that a new Congress does no. lowing it's election. After such an overturn as occurred a year ago. when the republican majority was virtually wiped out so that those who were elected as republicans but on decidedly liberal platforms held demand on the part of the newly elected congressman that they be al- lowed to take office at once.
 MT. Coolidge, when he succeeded to the presidency, refused to heed the calls for an extra session The wis dom of the whole procedure has been demonstrated by the course of events.
 The satisfactory condition of busi- ness during the year, although it has not maintained it's peak of ac tivity, has nevertheless been pros porous enough to register a long list of industrial concerns declaring ex- tra dividends, and has created de- sire to let we'll enough alone.
 The come back Of the railroads haS been ono of the marvels of Ameri- can management, and except for the one crop farmers in the wheat terri tory, the agricultural situation has been favorable, and, according to the figures of the Secretary of Agricul ture, has added billion dollars to the wealth of the farmers.
 These are conditions that could well be left undisturbed and Presi- dent Coolidge's message to Congress delivered on Thursday was so com pleteiy in harmony with public thought on the questions of which 1t treated, that it made a profound inn pression.
 The newspapers of all parties have acclaimed it as a statesmanlike docu- ment, and while there may be dit- ferences of opinion as to some of the controversial points involved the Presidents aightforward courage ous stand has won universal com mendation. The nation has been singularly lacking in constructive leadership and if President Coolidge, as the titular head of the party in power, demonstrates actual leader ship, it may be possible to carry out definite constructive program.

NON COOPERATION FAILS
Program Inaugurnted By Gandhi
 Abandoned In India


 The last national congress in In dia in it's special session at Delhi. formally renounced the policy of nonco-operation which Gandhi preached and initiated. That leader has issued a message from his prison recognizing the decision on the ground that such matters must be left to the judgment of people in active contact with political con ditions.
 The Servant of India, a nationalist, but not a devotedly Gsndi organ, comments:
 We are sincerely glad that the curtain has been finally rung down on the farce of nonco- operation which has been enacted in this coun- try for the last three years. We say finally and farce advisedly The nonco operators may fondly be- lieve that the permission which has now been accorded to congressman to enter the councils means only tenn porary suspension of the non-co- operation movement. But to our mind there is not the slightest doubt that. whatever may be the phrasing of the congress resolution, it means in practice a complete abandonment, once and for all. of the policy which Mahatma Gandhi inaugurated at the special congress in September. 1920"
 GrandnlS S own organ cnafacCerlzeh the decision as the only possible one under the circumstances,' although it believes the congress leaves "the political future of the country in a state of obscurity and bewilderment." The problem of Hindu Mos lem unity gives grave reason fol anxiety"
 The renouncement of nonco opera ton may signify the adoption of 8 l{ "a active resistance to the British gov ernment. Commenting further upon some of the failures of the Indian independence agitation, Young India says:
 we have to confess in all frank ness that we failed in our attempts to secure a rigid boycott of foreign mainly British, textiles. If we stick to it there may be a chance some day of making the boycott of cloth complete. But we have not sue ceedsi so far"-Living Age.
