after a visit to President Coolidge. The Senator states that the primary purpose of the President is to give the country a complete rest from politics, and let business and agriculture take their course unhampered by prospects of change in legislation. "Hands Off Business." The domestic policy of the Administration will have as its slogan, "Hands Off Business." President Coolidge believes that the least government possible is the best government, says his Senatorial visitor. He is confident that conditions in America are those which make for prosperity if Congress will not interfere. In pursuance of this policy, he will not call a special session of the newly elected Congress which gives him a clear-cut majority in the House of Representatives, unless an unforeseen national emergency requires it. He will try to put through a further programme of tax reduction in the Congress which meets in December, and which goes out of office on Mardi 4, when lies sworn in for the new term. He anticipates complete success, as the prestige of the Farm Bloc has been broken. Liberalising the Party. While the coming Congress will be firmly in the President's hands in the House, its composition in the Senate is so shaded with insurgent Republicans that the President is expected to make some move to bring the less radical of the insurgents into line with the Administration. His path in the Senate is not without its perils, particularly through the fact that by the approaching death or resignation of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, the chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee will devolve upon Senator Borah. Senator Borah, who advocates recognition of Soviet Russia, is not expected to make much headway in this particular demand against the opposition of Secretary Hughes. But he will be in a position to make a great deal of trouble for the Administration unless something is done to bring him into line. Practical politicians expect that "something" will be done. Some practical trading in legislative measures between the liberal Republicans and the Old Guard, to take place behind the scenes where the appearance of party tranquility

Some practical trading in legislative measures between the liberal Republicans and the Old Guard, to take place behind the scenes where the appearance of party tranquility will not be ruffled, is the most likely "something." Certainly Mr. Borah is to be a commanding figure in Washington during the next few years. He will be at the height of his power, and the stars of LaFollette and Hiram Johnson have waned. Lower Taxes? The choice for Speakership of the House lies between Congressman Madden, of Illinois, and Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio. The odds are on Mr. Madden at present, but Mr. Longworth has a wife whom Americans will recall as the daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, and she is a political power in Washington, despite the fact that she holds no Government office. It may be that Mr. Longworth will emerge to eminence for which she and numerous other long-time Republicans consider him eminently fitted. Whoever wins, Congressman Madden has a project for a rebate on this year's taxes in view of the surplus in the Treasury, and this measure is bound to be heard from on the floor of the House. Opposed to its passage is the agitation for an increase in the pay of postal employees, which has been brewing for a long time, as the postal service is recognized to be underpaid.

Where the President will stand this year is a matter of doubt though, last year he was against the employees on the grounds of public economy. Gossip concerning new Cabinet and diplomatic positions goes on apace, but all that has been made known as yet is the fact that Secretaries Mellon, Hughes, Hoover, and Storck are sure of their Cabinet places if they will remain. C. Bascom Slemp and William M. Butler, the President's campaign managers are apt to be found in the new lineup of the official family, Harry New is assumed to be leaving the Postal Department to prepare for the next Senatorial fight in Indiana. HAPLESS SMUGGLER WILL GET NO HELP CHRISTIANIA, Saturday. — The Norwegian Government has announced that it will not assist Norwegian ships which get into difficulties while engaged in liquor smuggling in American waters, according to a letter sent to the Norwegian Shipowners Association. Commenting on this letter, officers of the Association have declared that they think the Government is right in its policy and that they will take every precaution against their ships being used for rum-running.

NAVY TO REMOVE BAN ON SODA POP (Paris Times Radio) WASHINGTON, Saturday.—Secretary Daniels’s pre-prohibition "drought navy" order is to be modified by Secretary Wilbur, but only to an extent which will permit thirsty sailors to partake of soda pop aboard ship. Mr. Daniels included bottled soda waters in his order against drinks on Navy vessels, taking the view that ship storekeepers had not sufficient storage space at their disposal to make the carrying of soft drinks practical. FEDERAL HELP TO NATURALISE ALIENS ASKED Business Cabinet" Will Succeed Seipel Government Secretary of Labor Wants Enrollment Of Immigrants to America And Citizenship Classes. (Paris Times Radio) NEW YORK, Saturday.—A proposal that the Federal Government should enroll all immigrants to the United States, and ship them towards Americanization by cooperating with numerous civic associations is made by Mr. James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, in a speech broadcast widely. Mr. Davis points out that only half of fourteen million foreign-born residents in the United States have assumed the duties and privileges of citizenship. For this condition he blames the lack of any effort, on the part of the Government to help newcomers. The Labor Secretary declared that he favors not only the enrollment of all aliens upon their arrival, but an annual census of them by an organization to be known

Mr. Davis points out that only half of fourteen million foreign-born residents in the United States have assumed the duties and privileges of citizenship. For this condition he blames the lack of any effort, on the part of the Government to help newcomers. The Labor Secretary declared that he favors not only the enrollment of all aliens upon their arrival, but an annual census of them by an organization to be known as the Bureau of Naturalization. This bureau, he said, should cooperate with fraternal orders and other societies to set up a nationwide, continuous system of classes in the language, history, ideals, and traditions of the United States. Such a proposal has been submitted twice to Congress, and has been defeated each time. It was opposed by many racial organizations as tending toward espionage. Mr. Davis insisted that the naturalization bureau could accomplish its work without any espionage which would be resented by those who enter America legally with intent to stay in the country. Joined to this work on the American side of the immigrant flow, he advocated rigid inspection of immigrants in their home ports to assure that only those qualified to fit into the social and economic life of the country should make the trip to the new land. Rail Strike that Forced On Prince-Regent Is Now General in Austria. (Paris Times Spécial) VIENNA. Saturday.—Mgr.

Seipel has resigned office as Chancellor of Austria because of his Cabinet's failure to prevent the railroad workers of the country from striking for higher wages. He announced several days ago that he would withdraw if a walk-out came. The first candidate to head a European Government, it is rumored here today, will be succeeded by former Chancellor Schber. The latter is expected to form a "business Cabinet" that will resolve the strikers’ demands. Strike is General. Meanwhile, the railroad strike is reported general in Austria and trains of every kind, including international trains, have been halted. Not only Federal rail systems are affected but also the Danube-Black Sea-Adriatic line. Wild rumors are current in Vienna for the effect that the Ukrainian and Czechoslovak Governments intend to intervene to assure passage of trains to and from their countries by way of Austrian territory. The Director of Federal Railways has resigned office because of his failure to ward off the strike, but the Government announces that it has taken the situation in hand to assure supplies of food reaching the population. Troops will be called out to preserve order and it is hoped officially that international trains will be running again soon. In announcing his resignation, Mgr. Seipel declared that to grant the railmen’s wage demands would mean denying the population the necessities of life.

Lodge's condition slightly better (Paris Times Radio) NEW YORK, Saturday.—Senator Lodge emerged from coma late last night and was able to speak to the attending physicians. A slight improvement in his condition was noticeable, but the doctors still hold out little hope of his recovery. The Senator is seventy-four years old. If he rallies from the stroke, the doctors say, he will pass the remainder of his life a paralytic. Loyal Brazilian warship pursues rebel craft RIO DE JANEIRO, Saturday;—Captain da Noronha, commander of the Brazilian cruiser Minas Gerais, has been ordered to sea in pursuit of the cruiser Sao Paulo, the crew of which mutinied, ran up the red flag and steamed out of harbor. It is expected that the rebel craft will be overhauled soon and forced to surrender, although strict orders have been given that she is not to be sunk. The revolt was not as widespread as originally believed and was limited to the crew of the Sao Paulo and a few naval cadets.

France wins concession Safety of Emperor disturbs Chinese (Paris Times Spécial) PEKING, Saturday—Considerable concern is manifested here concerning the safety of the boy Emperor Pu-Yi, who has been removed from the Imperial Palace and is now residing with his father, the former Regent. Despite assurances from General Fang that a heavy guard prohibits all possibilities of an attack, the Chinese public is not convinced that the present Government agrees that the youth should live, and fears that assassination may come. The Imperial Family has demanded the protection of the Diplomatic Corps in Peking. The capital at present is under a military dictatorship, awaiting a meeting of the new leaders. It is not believed that such a meeting can take place before another two months have passed. General Wu-Pei-Fu is reported to have arrived off Chefoo, in Shantung, near the entrance to the Gulf of Pechili. Various merchants and bankers closed shop when his craft appeared, fearing that he would land his troops. Three American destroyers proceeded to the harbor and decided to land sixty Marines, although no disturbances are expected. Anti-Klan law upheld New York Supreme Court Rules Order Must Register Members. (Paris Times Radio) NEW YORK, Saturday.—The New York Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of the Walker Law, providing that secret fraternal orders must make public registration of the names of their members. The law was designed to unmask the members of the Ku Klux Klan within the State. It was fought by lawyers for the Klan, who will
have lined up with M. Radich’s followers in demanding either the return of the Davidovich Cabinet, which resigned on October 15, or the formation of a strong Opposition uniting into one single Parliamentary Party all the Croat, Slovene, Moslem, and even Democrat Deputies. GENERAL APPEALS SENTENCE German Given Five Years for Stealing Visited by Embassy Attaché. LILLE (Nord), Saturday.— Herr von Rintelen, attached to the German Embassy in Paris, has conferred for more than an hour with the head warder of the prison here where General von Nathusius is held, charged with stealing furniture from French homes during the war. The General has decided to appeal against the sentence of five years imprisonment passed by default and has chosen M. Nicolai, of the Metz bar, to plead his case. LOVELY DISCUSSIONS IN TURKISH CHAMBER CONSTANTINOPLE, Saturday.— The debates in the National Assembly have become a regular battle, and have been once more adjourned. The Opposition hopes to embarrass the Government sufficiently to compel it to resign. Reuf Bey, the ex-Prime Minister, has asked a number of pointed questions on finance and Constitutional law, to which the Minister of the Interior did not reply. He contented himself with casting doubt on the republicanism of the ex-Prime Minister. The Government succeeded in making the debate a question of confidence in the Government, and it seems certain that General Ismet Pasha will have a large majority when a division is taken today. The Opposition found its opening for attack on the Government in the manner in which the Moslem refugee problem was administered. The Government excused itself by saying that it did the best possible with the resources at its command. Revolutionary Activity Discovered in Barcelona As Wholesale Arrests Are Made.

(Paris Times Spécial) MADRID, Saturday.—Following closely on the recent arrest of General Berenguer and General Sánchez Luna for taking part in an alleged sedition banquet, the discovery of a bomb plot at Barcelona has excited public opinion. A police communiqué announces that raids made early in the morning resulted in the capture of a number of revolutionaries in the pocket of one of whom a bomb was found. Following up the raids later in the day, the authorities were able to surprise many of those who had escaped the earlier operations, and found more bombs. An infernal machine was discovered in a restaurant where it had evidently been abandoned. Police surrounded a section of the city and searched everyone within. Two men turned and fired when ordered to halt, and a hundred shots were exchanged before they were captured. A policeman was killed and two were wounded. The fugitives were dealt with before a summary military court. The arrests continued throughout the day. Press Demands Freedom. In view of the crisis, the decision of the Federated Press to demand that its liberty be restored is not without significance. Meeting in Madrid, this organization of Spanish newspapers denounced the censorship of the press that has been in operation for several months, and asked the Premier to put an end to the abuse.

As a result of the arrest of Generals Berenguer and Sánchez, Count de Romanones, head of the Liberal Party, has written to Vice-Admiral Magaz, acting-President of the Directory, assuming full responsibility himself. “It was because I was ill that I was unable to attend the banquet given in honor of Professor Sainz,” he writes in his letter. “I must inform you that I am in complete accord with the speeches made on the occasion, and with the spirit of the meeting, which was opposed to the continued existence of the anti-constitutional military with which we are governed. “As some of those present are being prosecuted for their participation, I feel it my duty to proclaim my complete solidarity with them.” SPANISH PLOTTERS CAUGHT IN FRANCE PERPIGNAN, Saturday.—Twenty-four armed Spaniards were arrested here as they were taking the train across the border. Two of them confessed that they were getting ready to take part in a revolt against the Directorate and the King “if the occasion arose.” They claimed to be acting in connection with no organization, but simply on their own initiative. The Indépendant des Pyrénées-Orientales reports concentrations of Spanish revolutionaries on the French side of the border in the last few days. They have arrived by train and auto from all over France and slipped across the border on foot at unwatched places. The
