Democrats, contingency that is not
likely to occur.
It is clear that two pressing problems
need the attention Of the incoming
Congress and administration, the farm
problem and the tariff problem. At
the present writing it does not appear
there are other subjects Of legislation
that cannot well wait until the next
regular session of Congress in Deem
Der. Furthermore, it will be easier to
deal more effectively with the two
major problems If the Congress does
not diffuse it's activities, but rather
concentrates upon these big jobs. The
farmers of the country who have sought
some measure of relief from the Fed
eral Legislature for years have suf-
fered much in the past because their
interests were made the foot ball of
politicians in Congress. The coming
special session of Congress promises
more opportunity to give the farmers
a square deal than has arisen in any
recent Congress. 1t is to be sincerely
desired that nothing shall be done to
hinder the passage of measures to aid
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS which have
been promised them again and again.

Germany Steals a March.

While Uncle Sam and John Bull are
wrangling over cruisers, Michel OF
Germany has stolen a march not only
upon them, but upon the other navies
of the world. The Reich has evolved
a so-called light cruiser of vastly dead
lier effectiveness than any warship OF
the type ever designed. She is Ersat2
Preussen. first of a group of four
formidable sisters
According to experts, the German
vessel would be capable in an engage
ment of destroying single-handed two
ships of the 10.000-ton type which the
United States and Great Britain are
now building. Although of the same
displacement, Ersatz Preussen's superb
GRITTY lies in her greater hitting power
and speed.
Against the Anglo-American ships
eight 8-inch guns-the maximum caliber
permitted by the Washington treaty
to which Germany is not a party-the
Reich cruiser mounts six 11-inch
weapons. From their wide mouths a
broadside totaling nearly 1000 pounds
can be hurled. The main batteries OF
the American and British cruisers can
throw a broadside of only 2,00o-odd
pounds. Thus, broadside for broadside,
the German cruisers would have the
other 10,000-ton vessels outgunned
nearly two to one.
In respect of speed, the Ersatz PreuS-
sens are little less marvellous. Our
cruisers and their British counterparts
are capable of a continuous voyage of
10000 miles at thirteen knots The
German vessels are built to travel that
distance without refueling at twenty
knots. 1t is estimated that they could
cruise $4,000 miles, or almost three
fourthS of the circumference of the
globe, on their own bunker capacity OF
oil-fuel and under the impulse of their
internal combustion engines which are
said to be of revolutionary capacity.
Enacting the role of a modern Emden
1t is easy to conceive that an Ersatz
Preussen might paralyze high seas COM
merce in any war to which Germany
was a party. She could remain out Of
range of 10,000-ton cruisers of the
American and British types and pounc
them to pieces-two of them at a time
If necessary.
The treaty of Versailles limited thu
size OF warships Germany might ir
future build. But 1t was silent about
the caliber of guns the Germans might
mount on the ships permitted them
In particular, Versailles failed to place
any embargo on German shipbuildins
skill. In that important direction the
Reich obtained freedom Of the seas,
which she is now capitalizing to a very
remarkable and somewhat disquietine
degree.

Indian limitations.

In constantly increasing number Of
ways Uncle Sam is looking out for his
citizens of aboriginal blood. He may not
always have had their best interests at
heart; furthermore, his red children
were often so erring that they received
scant sympathy in any quarter. But to-
day relations are cordial and smooth.
The latest idea, emanating from the
Department of the Interior, which ham
dies Indian affairs, is to provide a
trade mark whereby articles which are

Economy and Prosperity.

It Is possible that President Coolidge
may find occasion before March 4 to
make farewell address to the country
regarding his service in the White
House. Such statement would be
appropriate and historically valuable.
But If the opportunity should not arise
or present itself suitable for a valedic-
tory of this character, the address made
by Mr.. Coolidge at the semi-annual
business meeting of the Government
last night will serve in its stead. For
in that statement the President re-
viewed the conduct of Government
affairs under his administration in
terms of fiscal policies and economies,
which have been the predominating
factors of the period of his presidency.
In his talk to the heads Of Depart
nents and bureaus the President last
night reviewed the operations of the
last eight years, during which he noted
the Nation has come up from PROSTATE
business, unemployment, lack of conf
dence in the economic structure and
misery and distress, to a normal and
prosperous condition. The Federal
Government has become the best con-
Quoted big business in the world, a
harmonious, efficient concern that COM
pares favorably with like establishments
in the business world in efficiency and
unified control"
The intimate relationship between
Government efficiency and general pros
perity became text for the President
in his summation relative to the ad-
vances that have been made in the
economic condition of the country. He
said:
Unquestionably. however, wise gov
ernmental policies and particularly
wise economy in Government expendi-
lures, with steady reduction of the
national debt. have had dominant
influence The people gained conf
dence in themselves because of increas-
ing confidence in their Government.
The reduction of taxation made pos
sible by the cutting down of Government
expenditures left more income in the
hands of the people, enabling them to
increase their expenditures and thereby
not only to obtain greater comforts,
but to add to the demand for COM
modities; it likewise helped to provide
funds for building up the capital Of
the country and augmenting its pro-
ductive capacity.
Undeniably tax reduction has reacted
to stimulate business. The people are
more prosperous because they are under
lighter burdens of taxation, both direct
and indirect. This phenomenon may
stand in history as the dominating
characteristic Of the Coolidge admins
tration.

lieved, Of President-elect Hoover, to

vision. is already being criticized. SEN
ator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic
leader, has lifted his voice against any
suggestion that the Senate, and i'm
pliedly the Congress, should be limited
in any way in the work it may desire
to undertake. The Senator from
Arkansas is for an untrammeled Con-
gress, with the privilege of sending to
the President any proposals for legis-
iation that it may desire.
Constitutionally, once the Congress
has been convened, it may go its own
pace, with the only limitation in the
way OF legislation the presidential veto.
Even that may be overridden by two
thirds vote IN both houses. The
minority party in Congress is ever
ready to embarrass, If 1t can, the ad-
ministration in power. This is true
whether the minority be Republican or
Democratic. II the Democrats can
make political capital during the first
session Of the new Congress, with new
President on the job, so much the bet
ter for the Democrats.
