PRESIDENTIAL PARTY RETURNS
TO WASHINGTON AFTER FIVE
WEEKS, VACATION.
FLORIDA TRIP ENDS
MANY MATTERS WILL DEMAND
ATTENTION OF ExEcU.
TIVE AT ONCE.

WashingtOn.-President and Mrs.
their five weeks southern vacation.
The trip from Augusta gulf, where
the presidential party spent last week,
was without incident.
Mrs. Harding, it was said, was only
slightly fatigued by the sixteen-hOur
train ride, indicating the gain in
strength resulting from the five weeks
spent in the South. The improvement
in her health was further shown ty
the fact that she walked to the auto
mobile at the station entrance, where
as, on starting the trip the autom0-
bile was driven into the railroad yards
directly to the steps of the Presidents
private car.
Mr.. Harding Immediately visited his
office and spent two hours there
While at the Executive offices Secre-
tary Weeks called to welcome the
President back and the two talked for
several minutes.
A number of matters of importance
will receive the attention of the chief
executive during the coming weeks,
and the President is described as most
anxious to get as many as possible If
not all of them from the way before
the middle Of June, the time tentative
ly selected for the beginning of the
proposed western trip.
The President has not as yet finally
decided on the western trip, having
reserved his decision on account Of
Mrs. Harding's health.
While Mrs. Harding stood the south
ern trip exceedingly well and was In
fact greatly benefited by 1t, it is recog-
nfzed that such a tour as that pro-
posed to the Pacific coast and posi-
bly, to Alaska would be far more
worrying.
Among matters expected to receive
Mr.. Harding's attention within the
next week or two are the sugar situ-
alton, in which the tariff commission
is expected to submit report soon,
and the merchant marine problem.
With respect to the matter 1t had
been expected that the shipping board
would be able to present to the execu-
tive by the middle of the month the
proposals of the government. The
preparation of some of the detailed in
formation found desirable to place in
the Presidents hands has, however,
been found to require more time than
has been expected, and 80 that. prob
lem will not receive immediate atten-
tion except in way.
Several appointments are soon to be
announced, including member of
three groups, composing the railroad
labor board in addition to federal
judges created by Congress and a
member of the federal reserve board
to fill the vacancy caused by the re-
cent death of Milo D. Campbell.

TWO Of the paclfist organizations
i which have headquarters In
Washington and whose ideas and
propaganda have often been declared
exceedingly mischievous by persons
who must be classed as real patriots,
have laid themselves open to vigorous
attack. They are the National Coun-
ell for the Prevention Of War and the
Women's International League for
Peace and Freedom. General Fries,
head Of the chemical warfare service,
recently accused them Of being unpa-
triotic and Of advocating communism.
To these charges the organizations
made vigorous reply, defending them
selves and their objects. At this writ
ing Secretary Of War Weeks is said to
be preparing to enter the controversy,
and though his stand has not been
made public, 1t Is understood that he
Will back up the accusations made by
General Fries.
On Wednesday the American De-
fense society. through its Washington
director. R. II. Whitney Issued let
ter declaring that both the paciflst or
ganizations are working directly along
lines laid down by soviet Russia to
bring about the "armed revolution"
The chief complaint against the or
ganixations is that they are working
tooth and nail against all military pre-
paredness and seeking in every way to
hamper the activities of the army and
navy and to the peace-time operations
that keep the defenders Of the coun-
try up to the mark. For instance, they
tried to induce congress to throw out
the appropriation for summer camps
for the reserve corps, and, failing in
this. they now are sending broadcast
articles alleging that the camps are de-
signed to arouse militaristic spirit
and indirectly to produce war.
One good result of the controversy
thus far ID that the secretary Of war
Is permitting army and navy officers to
present to the public their views on
preparedness and other professional
matters.
n ESPITE their rebuff by Secretary
~ OF State Hughes last month, the
members of the Women's Committee
for Recognition Of Russia have made
another appeal, IN an open letter to
President Harding and Mr.. Hughes.
They decry the secretarys appreken-
sion Of the spread Of bolshevism In the
United States, and they disagree with
his conviction that the Soviet govern
ment will not assume the obligations of
the czarist and Kerensky governments.
The letter concludes:
"All that we ask Is this: That an
accredited commission from the Rus
Sian government be asked to sit with
