tervened. The Polish cabinet resigned
on May q and WitOs became premier.
Premier BratianO of Rumania was
forced out Of office in April, and so
was Premier Branting Of Sweden.
In Russia, as the soviet rulers grad
ually modified their Communistic poll
cies, there seemed to be steady prog
ress toward stability. Most other ma
tiOns still withheld recognition Of the
Moscow government, but a number of
them made commercial arrangements
with the soviet regime. The Russian
supreme court condemned Archbishop
Zepliak and Vicar General Butchka-
vich Of the Roman Catholic church to
death for revolutionary activities. The
latter was executed, but Zepliak's SEN
tence was commuted to ten years i'm
prisonment.
Early in December another revolu-
tion was attempted in Mexico, the
leader being AdolfO de la Huerta who
was offended because President Obre-
gon would not support his candidacy
for the presidency The revolt spread
rapidly, but before the month closed
Obregon seemed to have the situa-
ton we'll in hand.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

German reparations and complica-
tions resulting from the failure to pay
them occupied much of the attention
of European diplomats. Early in JAN
uary the allied premiers held a futile
conference in Paris, and France pre-
pared for separate action to collect
from Germany. About the same time
Secretary Hughes announced the Unit
ed States would not consider Berlin's
proposal for a fOur-pOwer European
peace pact and also informally adj
vised France not to occupy the Ruhr.
France, however, was determined, and
the reparatiOnS commission gave her
the opening by declaring Germany in
willful default in coal deliveries. Ger
many formally protesting and Great
Britain not approving, the French on
January II began the occupation of
the Ruhr, seizing it's most important
cities one after another. President
Harding expressed his disapproval by
recalling the American troops from
Germany. Chancellor CunO, with the
support of the reichstag, declared
moral war" of passive resistance and
ordered all state employees not to obey
the French. The mine owners and
later the industrial magnates fell in
with this program and for months the
French were baked in their efforts
to get any considerable revenue from
the region. They seized customs, bank
funds and railways, and arrested many
Industrial leaders and officials, but the
passive resistance was not broken un-
til late in September. The occupa-
ton was assisted actively by Belgium
and passively by Italy. Great Brit
ain, though she did not actually ham
per the French, gave them no help.
On May 2 Germany made a new
reparations offer of $7,5O0,O0O,0OO,
with many conditions, and it was i'm
mediately rejected by France. Eng
land also declared the offer insufficient
Berlin then asked a new reparatiOns
conference on the total sum and Of
fered annuities Of 1,5O0,0O0,0OO gold
marks. Great Britain invited France
and Italy to join her in a reply to
this. and submitted a draft of her
proposed answer, but this also fell
through. The British government
thereupon sent a note to France and

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

With the exception of Germany,
ruined by her own acts, and Japan,
shattered by the forces of nature, all
the world was better off at the close
of 1923 than at it's beginning. This
is especially true of the United States,
Italy, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Tur-
key, and probably Russia, though the
information coming from the land of
the soviets has been so cOlOred that
it was difficult to determine true con-
ditiOnS there.
Economic recovery of the world was
retarded, as it was during the prevl-
Gus twelve months, by failure to
settle the matter of the German repa-
rations and by the steady decline of
Germany toward the point of absolute
collapse. The occupation of the Ruhr
by France and the resulting disputes
with Great Britain brought on re-
peated crises each of which seemed
to threaten the final disruption of the
entente cordiale.
Turkey gained power and prestige
through the Lausanne peace confer
ence and the resulting treaties with
the allies and with the United States.
Late in the year she added herself to
the list of republics with Mustapha
Kemal Pasha as her first president.
Under the leadership of General
Primo Rivera and other army officers
and aristocrats, there was a house
cleaning in Spain that resulted in the
turning out of the crowd Of politicians
that had for years been battening on
the spOils of miSgOvernment. The So
called democratic government was
overthrown and a dictatorial council
substituted.
President Harding's death in San
Francisco threw all the United States
and indeed all the civilized world
into heartfelt mourning. Vice Presi-
dent Calvin Coolidge, succeeding to
the chief magistracy, carried on in
general the policies of his predecessor.
Mr. Harding had been considered the
certain nominee of the Republican
party in 1924, and his demise threw
open the lists and made the political
contest intensely interesting.

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

Overshadowing all other events in
the United States was the death of
President Warren G. Harding. He
had long planned trip through the
Middle and Far West and to Alaska
in order to talk with the people and
get their reactions. Though tired out
and far from well, he started on June
20, accompanied by Mrs. Harding and
several members of his cabinet After
delivering several important addresses,
notably one advocating American men,
bership in the World court. he sailed
to Alaska. Returning thence to San
Francisco, he fell Ill there on July 28
Four days later, on August 2, he
passed away. The taking Of his body
back to Washington, the services
there, the trip to Marion, Ohio, and
the interment there Of the little towns
distinguished citizen on August 10
gave the people Of the country ample
opportunity to show in what high
esteem and affection they held Mr..
Harding. Literally the entire nation
mourned sincerely and all tho n+hA~

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Germany's internal troubles, politi-
cal, economic and financial, were in
eXtricably tangled up with her inter-
national woes and brought her to so
low a state that her regeneration
seemed at times almost hopeless. Roy
alists, separatists and communists con.
spired, revOlted and rioted. Unem-
ployment increased and in the cities
all but the industrial magnates and
the profiteers were reduced to near
starvation, although the crops were
large and the rural districts were over
running with food stuffs. The govern
ment tried to meet the situation by
keeping up the flood of paper marks
and of course the mark declined until
billions could be had for one dollar
and those who had anything to sell
refused to accept the practically
worthless currency. In August Chan
cellor Cuno presented "rescue plan"
to the reichstag. 1t was rejected and
Cuno resigned, Gustave Stresemann
succeeding him and forming the first
coalition majority government in Ger
many's history. He undertook to re,
form the finances by the issue of a
new currency, the renten mark, backed
by the cOuntry's resources. This was

INDUSTRIAL AND LABOR

Only one really big strike marred
States, and that did not last long. The
miners in the anthracite fields and
their employers tried in vain to fix a
new wage scale and working condi-
tfons, and on August p they broke off
negotiations. With the approval Of
President Coolidge, Governor Pinchot
of Pennsylvania undertook to handle
the problem, and proposed a compro-
mise on August 20. The strike began
officially two days later, but the nego-
tiatiOns were continued. PinchOt'S
plan was accepted September and
the miners recumed work on Septem-
Der 20.
At various times during the year the
railway labor board adjusted the
wages of certain classes Of rail work
ers, usually raising them. Some of
the roads made separate agreements
with their employees, giving them in
creased pay. April 8 the steel indus
try raised the wages Of common labor
IL per cent and adjusted the pay of
other classes, and on April 13 the Chi
cago packing house employees and
building trade workers were given an
increase. The steel makers had been
attacked bitterly for maintaining the
twelve-hour day, and on August 2 Ell
bert Fl. Gary of the U. S. Steel corpo-
ration announced it's elimination
The American Federation OF Labor
met in annual convention in Portland,
Ore, and, among other acts, voted
against the formation of political
labor party and also against the rec
ognition of the Russian Soviet govern
ment. The advocates of these meas
ures and indeed all the more radical
factions in the federation were routed
by President Gompers, who was re-
elected.

DISASTERS

Unequaled in modern times was the
disaster that befVll Japan on Septem-
Der 1 when violent earthquake shocks
and resultant fires destroyed Yoko-
hama entirely and about tWO-thirds Of
Tokyo and ruined many smaller towns.
The number of killed was estimated
at 225,O00, and the injured at more
than half that number. Though many
Of the houses were flimSy, the prop
erty loss was enormous. The hun
dreds of thousands Of refugees suf-
fered severely, but the American gov
ernment and the American Red Cross
were swift with relief measures, and
other nations joined in the work.
Among other serious disasters of
the year were: January 3, twenty per-
sons killed by collapse of bridge at
Kelso, Wash; February s, mine ex-
plosion at Dawson killed 120 and one
at Cumberland, B. c., killed 80; Feb
