NATIONS OBDURATE;

BROUGHT TO A CLOSE

Innocent-Close Up
Consulate.

Washington, ID. c.. March 1.-The
controversy arising from the cancel
lation by the British government last
July of the quarters of American con-
suIar officers at Newcaste-on-Tyn
has been closed by orders issued by
the United States government that
the consulate there shall not be re-
opened.
Ambassador Harvey in London adj
vised the State Department yesterday
that in n note handed Lord Curzon,
British foreign minister. he had con-
veyed this decision of his government
in the case growing out of the action
taken by the British government
against Consul Slater and Vice Con-
sui Brooks on the ground that they
had Disseminated against British YES
sells.
The American note, following an
exchange of several others on the con-
troversy, reiterated that thorough
investigation had produced convincing
evidence that 1.-THE charges preferred
cannot be substantiated." The con-
sulate would not be reopened, it said.
The American government took the
position that the two officials should
be publicly exonerated by the British
government of the charges that they
were attempting TO divert passengers
from British to American ships. 1t
declined to accept a conditional offer
of the British government to drop the
charges as meeting this position. The
British government refused to change
its original position.

HARDING WANTS IT
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Downright. by Tho San Antonio Light.
Washington, ID. C.. March l.
Legislative normally, something the
country has not experienced in ten
consecutive years-will be tried for
nine months beginning next week. II
will be tried-that's as far as predic-
tions can be made at the moment.
Whether it will last until December
without an extra session being forced
in the interval is uncertain for there
are going TO be enough problems left
over when Congress adjourns this
week to burrow their way into the
political situation and upset even the
best laid plans for rest.
President Harding is great believ-
err in the psychological value of let
ting Congress cease legislating or de-
batting. For one thing it gives the
people in the executive branch of the
government free hand to carry out
.he laws on the statute books and the
policies already formulated without
having the club of congressional resO-
lutions. inquiries and Investigations.
hanging overhead.
But the desire for free hand goes

back and place the responsibility
again on the legisNtive branch of the
government.
Members of Congress have gone
away many times in the last ten years
with the hope of nine months rest
only to have some development in the
worldwide economic situation call
them back. Europe is still a danger
spot. Only a serious emergency re-
quiring consultation with Congress
would influence Mr.. Harding to sum-
mon Congress into extra session. but
once Congress is called it can stay as
long as it wants and discuss what it
pleases. .s
The President believes the country
wants Congress TO let things alone for
awhile. Democratic critics claim Con-
gross hasn't done very much anyhow
and that further inaction will help
their claim that no big constructive
achievements have been recorded in
into power. Mr.. Harding thought the
passage of merchant marine bill
would be big achievement. He still
things so and insists that the Repub-
licanS were ready to pass it, but the
ptHiOcGulS. pItNtultu dCllblI ny IN
buster. To this the Democrats will
answer that enough Republicans Op-
posed the measure and participated
in the filibuster TO indicate the M
desirability Of the measure. Mr..
Harding will not call an extra seS-
sion to gets further guidance on the
merchant marine problem nor does he
see anything else outstanding to cause
him TO bring Congress back. Thor?
will be, however. more or less dis
gruntled farm element plus the in
surgency of so-called Republican
Progressive who will keep constantly
before the public the idea that Con
gross ought to be summoned. Every
body wants n little rest but i. would
not be surprising if the western rad
icals began shouting for an extra sos
sion soon after they get close; to the
agricultural situation and other
phases of the economic situation which
they think can be remedieI by con-
grc:siora! action,

Mayor o. b. Black so that he need
not stand for reelection. 1t was also
sponsored by the district attorneys
office, District Attorney ID. A. Meas
kill having made several trips to Aus
tin in its behalf. 1t was he also who
spoke in support of the bill at meet
ing Of the San Antonio bar when it
refused to endorse the measure.
II the bill is not passed over the
governors veto, it is expected that
it will have an important effect upon
the San Antonio political situation. 1t
is known that Mayor Black had con-
fidently expected to be appointed as
judge of the new court. In lieu of
that he had also had his eyes on one
of the state railroad commissioner
ships. As appointments have been
made in these two eases, and if the
court bill is killed. the mayor, it is
believed, may stand for reelection.
That supporters of the mayor had
expected him to get out of their way
via the judgeship was indicated as
late as Wednesday, when they ap-
preached J. II. kirkpatrick and at
tempted to persuade him to run for
mayor. Mr.. kirkpatrick, however,
declined the honor and these same
men are said to be casting about fran
tically for some one to head their
ticket.
The fact that Sheriff John w. To-
bin has virtually announced. backed
by strong ticket, is said to be caus-
ing the Black supporters .any amount
of trouble in making this ticket. Those
approached, for the most part. decline
on the ground that the race will be too
strenuous and the chances of beating
Tobin are too slim. This was not
Mr.. Kirkpatrick's reason. however, as
he had previously declined to run.

deeper than that. The biggest and
at the same time the most pressing
political problem before the country
today is its economic condition. Unless
the people are in more or less salts
fled frame of mind in 1924. the Re
publican administration will have a
difficult time persuading the elector-
ate TO keep the administration in
power another four years.
A Chance for Victory.
President Harding himself in his
talks with his callers recently has dis
closed that he has no illusions abotit
the political situation. II there is
universal unemployment and farm
prices are higher and prosperity is at
least discernible, even though the de-
gree of contentment felt in such a
boom year as 1919 has not returned,
the expectation is that the Rcpubli-
cans will have better than an even
chance Of victory.
The President naturally expects to
be re-nominated. He has made the
record and is willing TO stand on it..
The mechanics of the problem of re-
nomination are not difficult with an
incumbent President. He usually
controls the delegations through his
official position and his subordinatcs
can have him re-nominated without
the need on his part of lifting a fin
ger or even nodding approval.
But every forecast nowadays must
be qualified by AL other things be-
ing equal" Mr.. Harding's idea of
what is coming is based on the hope
that there will be no untoward devel-
opments of an economic or political
nature. Out where the West begins.
however. there are signs of continued
agricultural agitation. Congress- will
have passed legislation affording the
farmer all the credit in the world.
That much will be pointed to by the
party in power as evidence of good
faith. The tension of credit will not
raise agricultural prices. And when
farm prices are low there are political
storms ahead. Already a Northwest
cin agricultural convention has met
and rt,tioned the President 10 cali
an extra session of Congress; to fix
the Price of wheat. From G1w on
NJ. Harding will be urged > call an
extra seSsio5 to cure nearly every voc
that Ieve'nps in the body polite. He
