take up the question of Federal en-
ployes except as a last resort toward
meeting their campaign pledges for
savings to the taxpayers. The impress
sion is given in many reliable quar-
tiers that the government has been
overmanned since the war. The same
condition prevails in state and mum
icipal affairs. The issuance of scrip
instead of cash certificates and
marked salary cuts has riveted pub
lie attention on the costly features OF
keeping local and national machinery
in operation.
Washington is known as the 'whis-
pering gallery of the nation" The
echoes from conversations in the pri-
vacy of cloak-rooms and drawing
rooms provide the best crOss-sectiOn
of real opinion. There is no evil
dence of the holiday spirit in the
maddening struggle for place and
pelf Lame ducks" are pulling all
wires to obtain jobs for which their
sole qualifications is political service.
Every trick of the powerful social
lobby" or petticoat influence is util-
lied. The trouble is that the real
powers like Senators Norris, BOrah.
Couzens and Robinson, the Demo-
cratic leader in the Senate; and Gar
ner and Rainey in the House do not
mingle over the teacups and cigars.
1t is fact that the hard-workers in
the legislative halls are seldom men
toned in the society columns. They
work long hours at their desks and
either rest or study at night. Hoover,
when Cabinet officer, could be found
at his office until ten o'clock and he
now follows the same procedure with
time out only for official social duties.
Talk persists that the farm bloc"
will be revived Little or no senti-
ment has developed for the so-called
Clair plan to fix minimum price for
farm products and setting up COM
modify board to regulate production.
There is some strength mustered for
proposals to ease up the farmers
plight on mortgages. The various
farm organizations are seeking an
agreement vi CdIluludtCS IOI tHC oCS-
rotary of Agriculture in the Roosevelt
administration. On his recommended
tions much vital legislation will be
based and the organized groups hope
to have a man familiar with agricul-
tural problems picked for the port
folio next March. 1t is obvious that
any scheme involving large OUTLAWS of
4, -
session. Congress feels it opened its
purse strings to the limit at the last
session ending in July.

in shrewder and less blunt way.
The upshot of it is that Germany
today is ruled by a presidential cab
met practically devoid of response
bility to the chosen representatives of
the people.
World Crisis.
Towering high above most other
problems of the year was the disas-
trous economic crisis which has par
alyzed trade, industry and employ
ment in nearly all countries. Many
were the attempts made to stop its
further progress, and to revert to nor
malcy, and just as many have the
failures been.
At Ottawa the British trade con-
ference decided to carry out measures
aiming at definite increase in En-
pire revenues, and detrimental to
countries which had hitherto de-
pended very largely on their exports
to Great Britain for their own rev.
enue. American high-tariff policy
gave birth to retaliatOry measures in
various other countries, and the sum
pretty complete strangulatiOn of world
| trade.
There were new conferences, new
plans. new moves. The crisis re-
NAMED. Then the British govern
ment evolved plan calling for a
world economic conference to be held
in London last fall. That conference
has not yet taken place, has not even
been officially summoned. and no one
seems to know whether it ever will
be held.
Here the attitude of the United
States proved obstructive, for while
the American government indicated
its willingness to take part, it stipu-
lated at the same time that certain
questions must be immunized from
discussion, such as tariffs, disarma-
ments, reparations and war debts.
Perfectly willing to discuss the re-
suits of the world crisis America
wanted nothing said about the causes
that had precipitated it.
And the Future.
And what of the future?
The future is serious matter
Byron jestingly informed his world.
He laughed at it when he penned his
hilarious Don JUAN" but it will not
be changed or influenced by the lev
ity of even the greatest of poets.
| No man can foretell what the COM
ing year will bring to the world, but
in the light of the On-achievements
of the year now ending, no especial
optimism would seem justified.
| Laws as immutable as those which
govern Nature, hold sway in the
world of economics, diplomacy and
politics, and there seems to be moth
ing to do but to submit to them, now
and then trying as energetically and
as intelligently as possible to offset
some of the most destructive pro-
cesses of laws which no human mind
just now appears able to fathom.
What the world needs now at the
beginning of a new year is a first
rate statesman in each of the lead
ing countries as unselflSh
as broadminded; statesmen who have
perspective and vision; statesmen who
will let themselves be guided by the
crying needs of humanity rather than
| by impassioned nationalism.
