nections. They are serving under re-
cess appointments.
The Federal District Court of Phil
adelphia has pumped life into the
"slush fund" issue. The court held
that it was without Jurisdiction in
the case and that it remains for the
Senate of the United States to deter
mine whether it's committees existed
after the Congress automatically end
ed March 4. If this court is sus-
tanned there will be no escape for the
Reed "slush fund" committee but to
renew it's fight in the Senate chamber.
If the warfare over the activities of
the investigating committee is contin-
ued ION the same scale and at the
same intensity as characterized the
fifibuster last winter the Congress
will transact little business at the
first session.
The publication of secret documents
in chain of newspapers purporting
to disclose the transactions of the
Anti-Saloon League of America is ex-
pected to bring about a far-reaching
investigation by Congress. Several
attempts have been made to inquire
into the finances of the dry" lobby,
but without avail. The approach
of the Presidential election in which
the prohibition issues is dominant is
bound to have AN effect upon the in
vestigation.
In addition to the voluminous data
now being prepared by Secretary
Hoover's Committee for presentation
to Congress next. session, will be a
survey by the Forest Service of the
Department of Agriculture. This
survey will bring together all avail
able information upon the location
and area of forests needed as a part
of flood prevention and control.

Washington, July 20. 1t is gen.
orally conceded here that the presence
OF. President Coolidge in the Middle
West, his frequent conferences with
those interested in farm problems,
may soften but never stop the blows
that critics of the Administrator will
aim at his policies at the next ses-
sion of Congress. The action of the
farm conferences at ST. Paul last
week in demanding the enactment of
the McNary-Haugen bill, without
change, was not calculated to bring
peace and harmony into politics and
agricultural issues. Congress will be
well supplied with material for debate
which may, as usual, retard serious
consideration of important and essen
tial Legislation.
Though it would be difficult to mus
ter corporal's guard of senators and
congressman in Washington during
these hot days it still remains the
clearing house of political thought.
Predictions of all sorts float around
and time alone breaks the bubble.
For instance, it is reported that Mr..
Coolidge is personally writing draft
of a farm bill which will be COM
promise, and designed to replace the
radical measures proposed by certain
organized farm groups.
1t is expected that the radical ele-
ment in the Senate and House will
vigorously oppose the confirmation OF
Eugene Meyer and his associates as
members of the Federal Farm Loan
Board, which has charge of the en-
forcement of the Farm Loan Act.
The opposition is based on the fact
that the proposed commissioners are
former bankers and have Wall Street
connections. Nobody believes that
President Coolidge will withdraw any
names because of their former con-

Early Swedes in q. s.
Professor Adolph B. Benson last
week issued from an eastern publish
ing house a book, entitled, Sweden
and the American Revolution, in
which he describes how Sweden aided
the American revolutionists in their
struggle against British domination;
he also points out that twenty thous-
and Swedish settlers, most of whom
lived in what later was to become
largely to the final victory of the Rev.
dictionary army; sixty Swedish Off
GERS volunteered to aid the Revolution
by fighting under the French colors.
Professor Benson says.
Back from China.
Dr. Nathanial Fedde. a medical
missionary of the Norwegian Luther
an Church in America, has returned
to his country from China after hav-
ing spent 13 years in that country.
On his way to the United States he
spent some weeks in Norway, the
homeland of his parents, which he
himself had not seen before. DR..
Fedde spoke pessimistically of the
outlook in China, and expressed fear
that most of the work done by mis-
sionaries and men affiliated with the
mission stations would prove to have
been futile.

de Svenske'' or, as they were
called in this country, 1.-THE Singing
Vikings"-a choral organization con-
sisting of 50 trained male singers
left New York for Stockholm last
week after having toured the United
States; they gave concerts in a num-
Der of cities throughout the country,
including those on the Pacific coast,
and their farewell concert was given
in Carnegie Hall, New York. Gen
orally the opinion seems to prevail
that this group of singers made a
deeper impression upon the public in
America than any previously visiting
Scandinavian singers.
Planning Excursion.
1t appears that considerable num-
Der of excursion trips to Denmark
are being planned by Danes in this

organization to announce such plans
is the Dania group of societies in
California and Nevada, comprising

ent plans the excursionists will leave

American liner, ''Lituania", early in
June of next year. This vessel is
