FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Germany's internal troubles, politi.
cal, economic and financial, were in
eXtr.cably 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 prOfteers were reduced to neal
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 mp 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 a "rescue plan"
to the ~rerhstag. 1t vas rejected and
Cuno resigned, Gustave Stresemann
succeeding him and forming the first
coalition majority government in Ger
many's history. He undertook 10 re,

new currency, the renten mark, backed
by the country's resources This was
far from successful.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

German reparations and complica-
lions resulting from the failure to pay
them occupied much of the attention
Of European diplomats. Early in jan
nary tie allied premiers held a futile
conference in Paris, and France pre-
pared for separate action to collect
rom Germany. About the same time
Secretary Hughes announced the Unit
ed States would not consider Berlin's
proposal for q four-pOwer European
peace pact and also Informally adj
riscd France not TO occupy the Ruhr.
France, however, was determined, and

many formally protesting and Great
Britain not approving, the French on
January II began the occupation of
The Ruhr, Selling Its 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 relchstag, declared a
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
10 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 IN
Ill late In September. The occupa-
tior was assisted actively by Belgium
and passively by Italy. Great Brit

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

Overshadowing all other events in
the United States was the death Of
President Warren G.. Harding. He
had long planned a 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 n advocating American men,
bership in the World court, he sailed
to Alaska. Returning thence to San
Francisco, he fell i'll there on July IS.
Four days later, on August ., 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, aid all the other
nations gave expression to their grief.
Vice President Calvin Coolidge took
the oath of office as President at his
fathers home in Plymouth, VT, and
assumed his new duties at once, re-
tanning the entire Harding cabinet and
announcing that he would carry out
the Harding policies where possible.
1t had been taken for granted that
the Republican party would nominate
Mr.. Harding In 1924, and Mr.. Cool

nominee. However, before the year

DAN A.. GREENE

In the death of Dan A. Greene,
senior judge of the tenth judicial cir
cult, jefferson county and Alabama
have lost one of their best members
of the judiciary. Judge Greene was
not only held in high esteem by men,
bels of the bar with whom he came in
intimate association through his Of
fetal duties, but he enjoyed the conf
.dence and regard of his fellow citi-
zens because of his character and
ideals as a citizen. Few judges in
this state earned so enviable reputa-
ton for breadth of view and fairness
of decision. He came of family
which had prominent part in the con-
structive history of the state. His
personality, his varied association with
his fellow man in civic, religious and
fi:aternal work, his readiness to con-
tribute of his time and labor to causes
for the betterment of public and pri-
vate life, won for him a distinct influ-
ence in movements for the develop
ment of q better citizenry and i'm
proved civic conditions. That influ-
ence will be missed by his fellow man.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1923-06-18

In Birmingham, where there are
several strong building and loan as
sociations, strong by reason of a grad
ual growth and proof of service,
thousands of homes have been
financed and thousands of families
placed under rooftrees. Two of these
Birmingham associations financed 447
homes at cost of S1,500,000 in the
first five months of this year alone,
and each has been forced several
times to increase capital stock to &C
commodate the home builders, while
the investing public has increased it's
placement of idle funds. Building
and loan associations do not inter
fere with other financial institutions.
On the contrary, where their business
grows, that of savings banks, mortgage
houses and reputable security brokers
also grows. Montgomery would profit
by building and loan associations con-
Quoted along the lines universally
found successful.

FOREIGNERS AND CHINA

Recommendation by foreigners res
ident in China to their respective gov
ernments as to the proper policy to
pursue to protect foreign business in
terests in China appear very drastic
to the Western reader. The American
appeal to this government begins by
deploring our procrastinating diplo-
macy and demanding prompt and
fearless handling of the situation.
There are six items in the formal de-
mand, including suspension of all ben
efits to China under the Washington
conference; disarmament of Chinese
troops and the placing of finances
under foreign supervision; foreign
garrisons at strategic poin S
throughout China; suspension of
the Boxer indemnity; the co-opera-
ton of Great Britain in providing
remedies for present conditions. Al
though these items would seem to in
volve quasi-nullification of Chinese
sovereignty, yet it is said that many
Chinese of substance and influence
heartily approve them, and join in the
expression of hope that they will be
complied with.
The truth is that there is at pres
ent no stable government in China,
and that neither lives nor possessions
are safe. Chinese property is just
as unsafe as that owned by foreigners.
The withdrawal of Japan from stra-
tegic points in China was the signal
for disorder to resume its sway. The
executive ability of the Japanese was
not appreciated at its full worth I'M
til it was no longer operative in Chi
nese affairs. If the powers were to
adopt the program offered by the
foreigners in China, it is not likely
that there would be much organized
opposition, for China is too completely
disorganized for that. The present
status is dangerous, for it permits the
Belshivik influence of Russia to enter
and complete the chaos. Already the
soviet influence in Northern China is
almost complete, as far as alliance
with the present authority is con-

JOHN-A-DREAMS
Dreams Of Throwing Away a Gar.
ment
Women who have a vision

ment
Women who have vision in
which they find themselves in the
act of throwing away a garment
which they are either wearing at
the time or which for the purpose
of discarding 1t they take. from a
hook or out Of . drawer, may
know by the warning Of this
vision, that they are slowly but
surely sliding into most despica-
themselves of it they are bound
to travel in the direction Of unhap-
piness. In most cases the char
acter OF the garment indicates
very plainly Of what kind the OBJ
jectionable habit is. If a hat Is
being discarded. the dream means
that you are harboring thoughts
that are unworthy of your better
self. II you throw away gloves,
you are advised that your hands
are engaged in an occupation
which Is bound to bring trouble
your way. If you cast off your
shoes, you are told that you are
often making a certain errand
which you are keeping secret from
others and which, unless you dis
continue 1t. will ultimately not
only lead to discovery, but to a
good deal Of remorse.
If. however. You observe some
one else throwing away gar
ment. you are being warned that
others do not consider your influ-
ence good one and that they are
striving away from you and will.
If 1t lies within their power, dis
continue their associations with
you. This particular warning is
not as definite as the others given
and does not indicate in what man
ner you have incurred the dis
pleasure of those whom you would
like to keep in the circle OF your
friends.
