or tho other would have been com nelled to give way, and it Is not in tho nature Of either 10 suhmcrge himself or his ideas L-l favor of the other,
 As tho situation now evolves itself, President Coolidge and Mir. Kellogg, being Of virtually one mind upon the major international problems, will inherit the antagonism Of Senator Borah. or course, the President and Secretary Of State stand at the apex of governmental policy, but the chairman Of the Senate foreign TO- latl0us committee has an enormous power to harass and even uullify a presidential policy, as President Will son learned to his distress. Especial ly is this the case when the Senate committee chairman is able to swing other members Of the committee and senators generally to his way of thinking, A disagreement between the executive department and the Senate on foreign policy usually is little short of q calamity.
 Right at the outset, it is idle 10 underestimate the influence of Scna- tor Borah in or out of the Senate. He has a following and a big one; he is able, courageous and energetic. If President Coolidge is going to be the real secretary of state and MT. Kellogg a manikin in the position, Senator Borah is not of the fibre to dodge a tilt with either or both of them. He is not so firmly part of the Republican organization to curry it's favor; indeed, he cares little for any party designation. The proba- bilities are he could run for any office on any party in his state and be victorious.
 Right at the outset, Senator Borah has a well-developed idea about our relations with Russia that does not conform with those of the President
 The Presidents conception about the Russian problem closely parallels that of Secretary Hughes, Senator Borah is for recognition of Russia; and in his estimation. the sooner the 1 better. Irrespective of his opinion in this connection, he cannot bring this about himself, even were 6 majority of the Senate to cling to his view But the time invariably comes when i the executive branch needs the CO., operation of the Senate foreign re- lations committee and the Senate as a whole, and at such time species of Ill-ticllle-you-if if-you'u -tickle-me bargaining might materialize-no' openly or above board, or with fan fares of publicity, but materializc nevertheless It happens right along In politics.
 With the ascendancy of Senator Borah in our foreign relations some 1 disturbing discords in the admins 1 tration symphony are sure to result; but it is a matter of qualification that a few if not a majority of the majol international problems have beer solved, or are well upon the road 1T that direction. MT. Borah may bF able to throw some sand in the ma ! chinery later on, but the machiner! at least exists,
 Senator Borah already has givei ! q sam Die or WlIdt may b' IHP' NN-N He launched & bitter attack agains the Presidents plan not 10 call special session of Congress thi spring claiming promises made t' agricultural interests demands th' 1 passage of farm legislation at sucl a session. Anyone reading the sp"eci will quickly come to the conclusion that Mir. Borah is not inclined t' work with the administration An 1 as numerous senators dislike tn
 idea of making Mir. Kellogg sccre lary of state it is evident that MT Borah will fan the flames of politica
 discontent as much as he can. AS
