BY EDWARD w. PlcKARD

With the exception of Germany
ruined by her own acts, and Japan
shattered by the forces of nature, al
the world was better off at the close
Of 1928 than at it's beginning. This
Is especially true of the United States,
italy, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Tur-
key, and probably Russia, though the
Information coming from the land OF
the soviets has been so colored that
1t was difficult to determine true con-
ditions there.
Economic recovery Of the world was
retarded, as it was during the previ-
u twelve months, by failure to
settle the matter of the German repa-
rations and by the steady decline of
Germany toward the point Of absolute
eclipse. The occupation of the Ruhr
by France and the resulting disputes
with Great Britain brought on e
peated crises each of which seemed
to threaten the final disruption of the
entente cordiale.
Several proposals for commissions
to determine Germany's capacity to
pay were made, but each of them re-
quired the participation OF the United
States and each time the American
government found unacceptable the
restrictions insisted upon by Premier
Poincare Of France. AS the year
drew toward its close, however, the
reparations commission was preparing
to appoint two committees of experts
to help work out the problem, and
President Coolidge approved Of the ap-
pointment of Americans on these com
mittees.
Turkey gained power and prestige
through the Lausanne peace confer
ence and the resulting treaties with
the allies and with the United States.
Late In the year she added herself to
the list of republics with Mustapha
Kemal Pasha as her first president.
Under the leadership of General
Primo Rivera and other army officers
and aristocrats, there was a house
cleaning in Spain that resulted in the
turning out of the crowd of politicians
that had for years been battening on
the spoils of misgovernment. The So
called democratic government was
overthrow and a dictatorial council
President Harding's death In San
Francisco threw all the United States
-and indeed all the civilized world
heartfelt mourning. Vice Presi-
dent Calvin Coolidge, succeeding to
the chief magistracy, carried on in
the policies of his predecessor.
Mr.. Harding had been considered the
nominee of the Republican
party In 1924, and his demise threw
open the lists and made the political
intensely interesting.

Statistics say there are now $780,
100000 people in the world, which
goes quite a ways toward explaining
why there is not money enough to
go around.
