the wreckage of war. In the two
years and four months that he
directed the affairs of state a record
of accomplishment was set never
enualed before in the history of any
government in the world, and likely
never to be approached again.
"He foresaw that the task ahead
far exceeded the capacity of any one
man to handle successfully. and he
proceeded to surround himself with
cabinet who could not only give
sound advice when called upon. but
who could be trusted to manage the
executive departments in the way
the situation demanded. In his
selection of executive assistants the
President showed rare Judgment
His appointees were men of marked
managerial ability. and all were
skilled in the work that Mr. Harding
allotted to them. What they did
under his direction and guidance will
forever remain an example to sue

in the Treasury Department the eff

Editorial Comment
No Special Session
New York Tribune)

There is just one emergency now
visible as a possibility upon the
horizon which might justify the call
ing of Congress in special session.
That is a coal strike, begun at such
a time and so conducted as to en-
danger lives and health.
In such an event it is safe to as
sumo that President Coolidge would
exhaust all the very considerable re-
sources of executive power before
calling upon Congress for additional
power. The police strike of Boston,
it will be recalled. was settled by the
Governor without aid from the Legis-
lature. But if all else fails a special
session might we'll be necessary. and
it is safe to ASSUME that it would be
summoned with all speed. 1t is pre-
cisely for such great emergencies
that the power of calling extra ses-
sions of the Federal legislature is
lodged in the President.
Aside from such an emergency, the
country at large wants no special
session and no need for such a
session exists. 1t is usually in con-
nection with the situation of the
wheat" farmer that the demand for
an emergency Congress is made. His
lOI is ENTHUSIASTICALLY nafd. owing 10
the vast wheat crop the world
around: but nothing could be palmer
than that even the most radical and
clamorous advocates of relief are
utterly at sea as to what form of re-
lief can be given. The sound, fun
damental aid which laws can give
the farmer has now largely been
provided by Congress. The demand
now is for sudden, drastic. tempo
rary relief. price fixing or it's equiv
alent. Even Senator La Toilette
balks at this proposal. and it's I'M
soundness economically, as well as
it's peril as precedent. is clear. A
special session of Congress could I'M
doubtedly debate this problem at
great length, but until the mind of
the country, including the mind of
the farmer, is a great deal clearer
as to methods and projects it would
be a sheer waste of time. public
money and public attention for Con-
gress to assemble before its regular
sitting in December.
President Harding felt clearly that
the country was weary of Congress
and wanted q rest. It IL safe 80 a..
