Of World War Veterans, AMI the
Princess Elaine Won der Lippe-
Lipske, who owns the house in which .
they have their headquarters. While .
she was away from Washington for a
few days, some Of the club members I
turned over the Princess two-year-
old daughter to the Detention Home. /
Upon her return, the Princess order (
ed the members of the club out of +
the house and tried to move in an .
organization of blind veterans from t
Baltimore. The Carry-0n Club /
resisted efforts to put them out into
the street, and obtained temporary
injunction prohibiting the Princess
from interfering with them.
OPPONENTS OF THE Volstead
Act see some hope in the announce
ment of Senator Watson of Indiana
that the Coolidge Administration
will consider proposals for the
modification and liberalization of the
law should the present drive against
rum smugglers and bootleggers fail
to dry up the country and its sea-
coasts In the meantime, every
agency at the command of the
Government-with the Anti-Saloon
League urging the use of the Army
and Navy is being used in the rum
war. Coast Guard officials de-
clare that the smugglers off New
York have been routed and are now
turning their attention to the Gulf
Coast and the Pacific, while other
agents move against the booze
manufacturers and dealers in the
Southern Mountains along the
Canadian and Mexican borders.
THE ANNUAL migration of the
Washington diplomatic family to
New England is underway. Many
of the Ambassadors who have been
stationed in the United States for a
number of years have permanent
summer homes along the Massachu-
setts or Rhode Island coasts, where
they flee from the sweltering heat of
the National Capital. Baron Won
Nathan. the German Ambassador,
will take his family to Swamscott,
Mass, having leased house not far
from that to be occupied by Pre-
sident Coolidge as summer
white house"
FOREIGN DEBTS continue to
occupy prominent place in the
press and in the minds of Govern
ment officials despite the fact that
very little action is taking place on
this side of the Atlantic in bringing
the debtors to terms. The latest
demand of the American Debt Com
mission for payment from France,
Italy and other debtor nations has
resulted in some activity in foreign
capitals and it is the general hope in
Administration circles that funding
negotiations will be started during
the summer With the expectation
that such will be the case, Secretary
Of the Treasury Mellon who is chair |
man of the commission, has cancelled
his plans for a trip to Europe
THE FEDERAL TRADE Com /
mission is being subjected to attacks
both from within and without in
connection with its new policy of /
holding in confidence all charges of I
unfair practices brought against
business organizations until they
have been proven. The ruling was
made by a majority of the commits T
sion, but is being opposed by the
minority lead by Commissioner
Nugent on the ground that the best
interests Of the country and business
as "a whole will be served by permit T
ing all Of the Commissions affairs
to be open to the public Senator
Borah of Idaho has joined the fight I
on the commission with the state
ment that its attempts at secrecy 7
have destroyed its effectiveness and
that it should be abolished. An
effort in this direction is expected in
the next Congress.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE plans
TO adhere to his economy program in
his next trip westward by riding in
an ordinary Pullman car instead of
paying $4,000 for a special train
There have been reports that the
President has been prevailed upon to
go back 10 the private car system on
account Of the danger involved in
using public car but the White
House is authority for the state
ment that the President feels there is
little danger and that the ineon-
yenience t. himself and the official
party Is worth the saving that can be
made
A two-dollar bin is good luck in
stead Of bad because it might have
been one.
