THE PASSING SHOW in POLITICS

Gov. Pinchot it is claimed, has many
friends in the west, but by the same token
he has some pretty lively enemies there
on account of his ultra-conservative attitude
on conservation and the tying-up of the pub
C resources and domain.

Senator Johnson, it is said by the poll
ticians, Immediately will come under fire of
the church organizations, which are just at
this time starting an intensive drive in sup
port of the world court In his anathema
so vigorously pronounced against the league
of nations he added, "and all its subsidiaries,
membership in which would tend to partici-
patton, directly or indirectly, in the league"
He has so described the world court, and in
cludes that in his announcement.
The senator in his announcement limited
at the 100000 majority of the republican
ticket in 1920 in terms which would intimate
that he regarded that majority as due mainly
to opposition to the league of nations, lead
ing to the inference that he counted upon
this to help him in his fight for the nomina-
ton. ...-. ..e
Many politicians have contended all
along that the seven million was not at
tributable to that issue alone, but largely to
general dissatisfaction with the democratic
party and its administration.
Mr.. McAdoo's tacit admission of his cam
didacy last week, widely acclaimed as an
nouncing his actual entry into the contest
for the democratic nomination, was followed
by what is deemed to be bid for the soldier
vote and the downtrodden taxpayer at one
and the same time. He averred that reduc-
ton of taxes can be accomplished and the
soldier bonus granted as we'll. Secretary
Mellon, present head of the Treasury De-
partment, over which Mr.. McAdoo once pre-
sided, says that both cannot be DONE This
is where authorities disagree, and it will be
interesting to follow the argument between

and forbidding day both in weather and
politics for them
The strategy of the supporters of Presi
dent Coolidge from now on is expected to be
to seek to break the strength of Senator
Johnson in some states by backing "favorite
sons" and securing blocs of delegates to the
national convention who are at least anti
Johnson and may in the final ballot find it
more desirable to stand by the President.
Former Gov. Lowden of Illinois, Senator
Wadsworth of New York and Senator Wat
son of Indiana are mentioned in considering
that possibility.
1t is not so much the fear of Senator
Johnson's winning the nomination which
troubles the hackers of President Coolidge
as the apprehension of what the Johnson
followers may do to the regular ticket at
the polls They had experience along that
line in California in 1916, when the detection
of progressive voters from the republican
national ticket lost the state to Hughes and
materially contributed to the election of
President Wilson.
When the average progressive wars, 1t is
war to the knife, and, as political history
shows, he neither asks nor gives quarter.
He loves revenge.
Gov. Pinchot's future course will be
watched with great interest by the poll
ticians. He recently has engaged in two
political furries; one with President Cool
idge over prohibition enforcement, in which
he is classed by many politicians as having
gotten bit the worst of it. Now he has
taken up extortion in coal prices, and is in
bitter wrangle with the operators in Penn
sylvania, who charge him with disngenuous-
ness. He may have other arrows in his
quiver to be discharged opportunely.
The entry of Senator Johnson is re-
garded as opening the way for Gov. Pinchot
to come out himself for the nomination or
to ask for the selection of delegates at the
primaries favorable to him, so that he can
be assured of controlling the delegation.
The assumption is that if Gov Pinchot gets
any delegates he would at the critical mo-
ment throw them to Senator Johnson, as he

senator, of the Roosevelt progressives

Weather Forecasting
Given Start in France

Although the first successful at
tempts at forecasting weather by
means Of telegraphic reports were
made in 1S4s by Prof. Joseph Henry
Of the Smithsonian Institution, Con-
gress did not authorize the estab-
lishment Of such a national service
until 1869, and 1t was not until 1890
that the weather bureau was made q
branch Of the United States Depart
| ment Of Agriculture.
To France is given credit for set
ting up the first national forecasting
service, in 1856. as a result Of the
Crtmean war In November, 1854. a
severe storm did much damage to the
French and British warships in the
Black sea. The French astronomer,
lie Verrier, who was then director of
the Observatory of Paris, made a
study OF this storm and reached the
conclusion that, with the aid Of tele-
graphic reports, its eastward progress
across Europe might have been pre-
dfcted so that the disaster to the
ships could have been averted. This
led to the foundation of the French
meteorological service.
In this country the establishment
Of similar service was frequently
recommended by scientific authori-
| ties and finally, in 1869, an experi-
mental service was established in
the Cincinnati Observatory. These
experiments in weather forecastine
| were so successful that Congress was
induced to establish a national sery-
Ice. one Of the principal duties of
which was forecasting the weather.
This service was originally attached
to the Signal Corps Of the Army, but
since 1890 1t has been q branch Of the

Europe are today in the same posi-
ton that we were. at the close of
the civil war. and the tremendous
progress which we made in the years
following that conflict would be re-
peated on a. far vaster scale If some
reasonable settlement was made to-
day in Europe. The bright side to
the dark tragedy OF war Is that It
enormously increases the productive
power Of the. people. European ma

America, and real peace would give

What Is the alternative? What
II America should still refuse to con-
duct any part OF the settlement Of

That I cannot answer. Without
the aid OF America the difficulties in
the way of a settlement are gigantic
and the perils Of delay are very great.
Russia Is still a source of great dan
ger to civilization, and she will re-
main SO as long as her immense re-
sources are in the hands of her
present masters. While in other
countries there has been very rapid

When you refer to debts do you
mean that all the money owing US
should be wiped of the slater"
mo. I don't believe that should
be done. What believe can be prop
erly funded is that part Of the In
debtedness OF the allies which was
spent for guns. ammunition. war ma
terials, food for soldiers or for any
other purpose which was really part
Of the common cause and for the
protection OF our own boys. It is
estimated that the amount would be
anywhere from 60 to 20 per cent.
I'VE would make such funding
contingent on agreements with the
countries involved that would aid

the elimination Of governmental

- ~ tarism in Europe.
~ America has it in her
\ power to put the world on
the high road to a greater prosperity
than mas ever yet been known"
This is the emphatic judgment of
Fred I. Kent, vice president Of the
Bankers Trust Company of New
York and one of the greatest author
tiles in this country on international
finance. Mr.. Kent's authority to
speak Is best evidenced by the fact
that his services have been sought
as financial adviser to the league
of nations. During the war he was
the expert selected by the United
States government to handle all the
complicated and delicate negotiations
having to do with foreign exchange.
At the meeting of the International
Chamber OF Commerce in Rome this
year Mr.. Kent was appointed chair
man Of the committee on economic
restora ton. His work on that COM
mittee brought him to all the prin-
cipal countries of Europe and in close
personal contact with both the gov
ernment heads and the business
leaders Of the various European ma
tions. He has also devoted much of
his time working with the repara-
tions commission as advisory counsel
on finances.
In his opinion, the solution of the
great European problem rests to a
large extent in the hands of the
United States and depends In very
great measure upon whether it uses
the power which 1t holds as a prin-
cipal creditor in the tangled mass Of
International war debts to bring
about peace. or continues to sit
calmly by and do nothing.
Can Europe Winf
~Can Europe win throuEhT' That
was the question asked Mr.. Kent
to answer on his recent return from
the other side Of the Atlantic.
"She can and must" replied Mr..
Kent. emphatically, ~for otherwise our
whole civilization Is in danger Of
crashing. Of course, it would be
foolish to ignore the possibility OF
disaster, but in my belief It Is only
a possibility and not probability.
Much, perhaps everything. depends
upon what action is taken in this
country"
what do you believe America
should do?" asked.
