Now the Tug Of War.

Decision by the democrats OF the
House in caucus last night to stand
as a unit in support Of the Garner
substitute for the Mellon tax rates
joins the issue upon that measure.
OF the 16s democrats in the caucus
1874 approved the action to bind mem.
bers. party rules providing that II
two-thirds agree the caucus decision
shall be binding. except in circun.
stances of prior pledges. So the
democrats in this case viii present
a solid front save for Mr.. Deal Of
Virginia, who was excused.
The democrats expect the adherence
to their side Of possibly seventeen
insurgent republicans. which, II the
expectation is realized. will make
hard shedding for the Mellon bill. Thus
endeth the hope indulged in, though
family enough. to be sure. that the
reduction Of taxes could be under
taken in non-partisan spirit and car.
ried out on economic rather than
political lines.
President Coolidge, in his Lincoln
day speech, characterized the Garner
bill as political in theory" and "im.
possible in practice" The democratic
caucus action flouts the claim that It
Is impossible in practice and pledges
the democratic membership to under.
take its enactment fnd to urge that
it be tried on the country.
The only redeeming feature Of the
present situation in the House is that
commendable effort to expedite action
on the legislation Is shown by those
in charge of the bill. The sooner It
gets over to the Senate the better.
The upper body will then proceed at
leisure to adjust possible crudities and
tax reduction OF scrts can be e1.
pected.

lar remarks which occasioned con.
siderable laughter and confusion
Lincoln's anti.slavery sentiments
came to the front several times. Some
Of his biographers say that he intro
duced a bill for the abolition Of slavery
III the District. The record shows that
on January 16, 1S49. Lincoln moved
an amendment in the House Of Repre-
sentatives instructing the proper com.
mittee to report bill abolishing
slavery in the District Of Columbia."
The amendment resolved that the
House District committee frame a bill
that the question Of free slaves be
put to a vote Of the electors OF the
District with the understanding that
just compensation out Of public money
be made to slave owners should there
be a majority vote for emancipation.
1t is not shown in records imnledi.
ately at hahd what disposition was
made Of the proposal.
The District was early chosen by
anti-slavery elements as their fighting
ground. Congress was here and had
exclusive jurisdiction over the Dis.
trict. To strike down the institution"
in the Capital might make a dent in
the institution" as whole. The first
resolution on the subject was offered
in the House in 1905. The Philan.
thropist. an abolition weekly, in 1917
called on abolitionists to seek the
emancipation of negroes in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. In 1927 big memo.
rial from anti.slavery people was pre-.
sented TO Congress asking that free.
dom be given to children born OF slave
mothers in the District. During all the
years to the civil war slavery was
an exciting question here.
The point is that Lincoln thought
he had plan for liberating slaves in
the District that would work. He
would let the people vote on 1t and the
slaves would be paid for. But that
proposition proved not to be practical.

Radio Receivers.

In the matter Of radio broadcasting
the Secretary Of Commerce is quoted
as saying that he would very vigor-
ously oppose" any move by radio man.
ufacturers operating broadcasting sta
tions to make a charge for their serv-
ice. He said that companies or indi-
vidual manufacturers who sought to
maintain their broadcasting stations
by tax or license levy on receiving
sets would have to secure government
consent.
Indications are that the time is dis.
tant when owners of receiving sets
must pay for service. When radio
was newer than now va
rious manufacturers Of radio products
who set up broadcasting stations said
they thought that receivers would
finally have to pay for the service,
and If broadcasting stations were al
together in hands OF manufacturers Of
radio products that condition might
come about. But other agencies have
set up broadcasting stations. News
papers, department stores and hotels
maintain stations for the public good
and for the advertising that is in it
for them. It is likely that the number
OF such stations will increase and at
least that a sufficient number will be
maintained to give radio receivers all
the programs" they need. These
broadcasting stations will come into
more general use by public men and
ministers. and It may be that musical
associations, cities and states may
make use OF broadcasting stations as
means Of instruction and entertain
ment. The radio field Is broadening.

Member of the Associated Press.
Russia Is Satisfied.

Deputy Minister Litvinoff OF the
foreign affairs Office at Moscow has in
an interview given to newspaper cor.
respondents outlined the policy of the
soviet government in respect to for.
eign recognition. In brief. it is that
no commercial treaties will be signed
with countries prior to their de jure
recognition of Russia. This is OBJ
viously aimed at the United States.
Russia wishes recognition by this gov
ernment, and is dangling the bait Of
foreign trade before it. Short Of a
complete reversal of poll .S ON the part
Of this country that seft will not be
taken.
Some countries,-- said Litvinoff, "go
OH muttering about old debts. We re-
fuse to consider any preliminary con-
ditiOn to commercial treaties" The
reference to "old debts" Is obvious In
his addre-> to Congress at the opening
OF the sessio-s President Coolidge spec
filed Russia's aepudiation of the obli.
cations of the imperial government as
one of the reasons why recognition is
withheld. There WAS no "muttering"
about it. Nor did Secretary Hughes
'mutter" when he later amplifled the
Presidents statement Of the American
policy. But the Old debts are not the
only obstacles to American recogni-
ton. The most important is the soviet
propaganda in this country for the
subversion of government. No com.
mercial valuation is placed upon rec
ognition. The United States is not
concerned so keenly about trade with
Russia as to waive other considera.
tions in order to establish business re-
lations.
Litvinoff claims that with Great
Britain. Italy, Germany, Norway and
the border states soviet Russia now
has an ample field for its economic ac-
tivities and to export raw and import
manufactured materials. Recognition
now is of much less Importance. He
claims that other European and also
American countries in the near future
will throw over their illusions, hope
less expectations and conventional
tiles. We are near general recogni-
tion."
In other words, according to Litvi.
noff. soviet Russia can get along very
well without the United States as a
friend. Well, the United States can
get along very well without soviet
Russia as a friend. This country can
find abundant markets for Its goods
without sacrificing its principles and
self-respect, it's "conventionalities."
for the sake of a share of the Russian
trade.

Lincoln and District Slavery.

Lincoln's service in the Thirtieth
Congress was lightly touched on, II
at all, in Lincoln day celebrations.
That Congress began December g.,
1847, and ended March 3, 1S4s, and
during part Of that time, perhaps all
OF 1t, Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln lived at

The Palatinate Atrocities.

A hideous tale comes from the Ger.
man Palatinate, where Tuesday night
the people of two towns turned on the
separatists, who have for three months
been conducting a veritable reign OF
terror, and slew them with shocking
atrocities. The townspeople, madden
ed by the tyranny Of these political
agitators, who. have, in the absence
Of definite national control, taken pos.
session of portion Of the Rhineland,
made a furious attack upon them,
drove them into public buildings, and
at Pirinasens fired the town hall and
threw wounded men into the flames.
The REPORTS indicate twenty-five dead
and forty-one wounded in the two
towns of Pirmasens and kaiserslau-
tern. The separatists, when driven to
a last stand and overwhelmed by great
numbers, sought to surrender. begged
for mercy and left their shelters only
to be massacred. The crowd mani
tested a savage fury and in some
cases tortured the prisoners and mu-
tilated them. 1t was an exhibition Of
berserker rage.
This tragedy may prove the climax
Of "a situation that has given great
concern to the allied powers as we'll

Rhineland separatist movement was

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

Friends of Senator Arthur Cappe
of Kansas fear he may have thrown
away the chance of being Calvin
Coolidge's running -mate in 1924 by
voting for the DENLY custer. The
leader Of the farm bloc pretends no>
to cherish any lively ambitions to be
Vice President Of the United States.
He likes Senate life and work and is
concentrating his political energies
upon prolonging It. Kansas repub-
ltcans are certain to renominate him.
and no democrat Is thus far in sight
who seems capable of beating him in
November. Capper was one of the
ten republicans who joined the demo-
Gratis in support of the Robinson res
olution. McNary Of Oregon, like
Capper, comes up for reelection this
year. He, too, evidently sees saliva
tIon in a record that found him lined
up In favor of "housecleanipg' on
the oil issue.
There were one or two notable sur
prises when the roll was called on the
Robinson resolution to vacate Dem
by's seat in the cabinet Senator
Howell OF Nebraska, the new and able
republican progressive from the
Platte country, was expected by
many people to follow his Nebraska
progressive colleague, Norris, into
tta anti-Denby camp. 1t may be that
Howell's attachment to the Navy,
which dates from his graduation at
Annapolis with the class of 1855. dis
suaded him from action that might
have seemed to aSperSe the service
he loves. Howell made futile elev-
enth- hour attempt to amend the GUST
er resolution SO as to give it effect
initely proved guilty of malfeasance.
Senator Harreld, republican, of Okla
homa, turned up unexpectedly in ia
vor Of the custer. His vote indicates
that the big gusher state in the south
west feels strongly about the ugly
revelations affecting its prize indus
