tons at that time. There is no
doubt that he will be questioned
as to foreign debts and their eff
fects upon domestic taxation.
Public sentiment favors further
reduction in taxes and this con-
gressional committee will have a
real problem on its hands.
The President continues to hold
his own despite the turmoil in
his official family. With whole
sale designations in the Shipping
Board. followed by charges and
counter-charges, the President is
planning in order to meet the sit
uation when Congress asks for
recommendations. The feeling
exists that Mr.. Coolidge will hold
his cards until the delivery of his
annual address to the Congress
the first week of the new session.
The suggestion that the Ship
ping Boards functions be trans
ferred by an act of Congress to
the Department of Commerce is
given many supporters. Secretary
Hoover has many jobs now and
may ask to be relieved of these
new responsibilities.
Return of many congressman
to Washington some weeks prior
to the regular sessions is not due
entirely to political reasons.
Some of the newly elected legis-
lators come ahead to get ac-
quainted with the jobs prepare
tory to the rush of business from
their constituents in December.
Others leave the home districts
at the insistent demands Of the
women folks who want to get
into society" BY early arrival.
the socially ambitious can survey
the situation and make their
plans accordingly. As one new
conner in Congress said at a local
club the other day, Il would rath-
er stay at home and sell myself
to the voters in the district.
Glad-handing is more profitable
at home than kow-towing to mo-
tables here" That homely ex-
preston summed up the true sit
uation in many cases.
II is notorious fact that many
members Of Congress invite
bankruptcy by lavish entertain
ments in an effort to be recog-
nized by Washington society" A
study on the real social events OF
the official season here would
show relatively few functions
given by the powers that be" in
politics.
