Raw materials Of which portland
cement is made come out Of the
ground usually as solid rock.
They must first be crushed,
ground and reground until at least
IS per cent Of the resulting powder
will shake through sieve that will
actually hold water.
This sieve is considerably finer
than the finest silk fabric. 1t has
200 hair-like bronze wires to the
inch. That means 10000 holes to
the square inch.
But the several crushings and
grindings necessary to reduce solid
rock to this extreme 6neness are
only the beginning OF cement
making.
The powdered materials must then be sub
jected to intense heat for several hours in
huge rotary kilns. Here they are half melted
and become substance much harder than
the original rock clinker, it is called.
Then the clinker must be crushed and
ground until at least 70 per cent OF the result
ing product will pass through the sieve woven
finer than silk. This is portland cement.

operations are necessary in cement making.

CFrOm the New York Tribune.)

Ths plan and eloquent words ad-
drenssd by Mr.. Harding to Congress
should not fan upon deaf ears. II
is the theory Of our government that
the President represents IN a unique
fashion the whole nation. and this
message fitly utters thoughts which
Americans are thinking the country
over,
The accord with Great Britain
upon the war debt Is a matter that
stands beyond the reaoh o. personal
or party chickering's. Upon its ac-
ceptance rests, as Mr.. Harding indi-
Gates, much OF postwar reconstruct
ton. Both for the solid ground that
Il places beneath International
credit and for the slsment OF doubt
and hesitation which Il removes
from the European dispute, Il can
oount heavily on the side OF security
and settlement.
II promptly accepted by Congress
this debt agreement with our largest
war debtor may well be a turning
point in Europe's story. Optimism
Is already in the air. The French

am trying to emphasize a re-
sponsibility which cannot be
met by one branch Of the gov
eminent alone.
Here is a challenge TO all oppo-
nents OF the shipping bill, whether
they are actuated by genuine dis
belief in the merits Of the bill or by
political filibustering motives. Have
they the votes to defeat the bill
Then let them cast them, says the
President. If they lack a majority,
they have no right to stand in the
way OF a vote. If there is a ma
jority in the Senate in favor OF the
bill, continued inaction would be a
mark Of impotence. The majority
can have its way II It insists upon
action Mr.. Harding asks for de-
cision, whether It be favorable or
unfavorable. He Is compelled to de-
mand a decision from Congress, be-

Congress shall not destroy the ef-
feet of his labors by failing to do
it's duty. He can not adopt any
comprehensive new policy IN regard
to the merchant marine until the
shipping bill is disposed OF.
From this time forth until adj

will rest steadily upon Congress, to
note whether 1t is performing its
plain duty. The shipping bill is now
better understood than ever. thanks
to the Presidents clear statement.

Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1923-02-09

The logic of President Harding's
appeal for prompt affirmative ao-
ton on the British debt settlement
and the shipping bill is unansWer-
able. The novelty OF his argument
in bringing these apparently unre-
lated subjects into tuxtaposition will
have a tendency TO induce legisla-
tors TO look at the shipping bill in
a new light. Too many Legislators
have regarded the shipping bill as
an administration project, not i'm
peratively requiring the attention OF
Congress. Mr.. Harding destroys
this error by showing that the ship
ping bill is a means OF safeguard
ipg the Treasury, and that Il IS as
important to avoid losses as It IS
TO collect debts or raise taxes.
Approval OF the debt commits
sion's plan OF settlement OF the Brit
ish debt is almost a foregone con-
olusion. The public approval OF the
plan and the Presidents recon-
mendation to Congress VIII have
great weight with legislators. There
is no visible reason why prompt leg
islation for putting the plan into
effect should not be forthcoming
The plan provides for the payment
to the United States of an average
OF 100000 a year until the to-
tai sum of s4,6OO.0OO. 900 shall have
been paid. Since there is no alter
native TO this plan, its rejection
would be equivalent to refusal to
permit Great Britain to pay its debt
to the United States. Moreover, the
injury to both nations ana TO the
world, particularly Europe, would
be incaioulable. Disbursement
would Overwhelm the debtor ma
lions and probably universal repu-
dlauon Of war debts would follow,
since Il is obvious that the nations
recently at war can not pay their
debts except through an arrange
ment similar to that whioh Great
Britain has accepted.
President Hardtnss statement
covers fully the resso1s for approv-
ing tho debt settlement plan and the
consequences which would follow
rejection of the plan. He places tho
adjustment upon the highest plane.
