HARDING BELIEVES
PERMANENT TARIFF
NOW IMPRACTICAL
??
President Will Demand
That Funding Bill
Be Enacted.
By HOBKKT J. 11EXDER.
President Harding believes there
is no vital need for permanent
tariff legislation this session. This
means that the emergency tariff
act now tn force will be continued
by a resolution of both Houses until
the next session can enact a
measure better adapted to international
conditions than would nowj
be possible.
Apart from the peace treaty
there are now only two major
laws which the President wishes
Congress to enact before it adjourns
the present session?the
measure which would grant Secretary
Mellon full powers for
handling foreign loans, and that to
extend the authority of the War
Finance Corporation so that it
r.iay purchase railway refunding
iccvrltltl accepted by the Director
'". neral of Railroads up to $500,i
[ Miti
There have been indications for
ome time that the administration
would decide tarifT legislation
? "Uld KO over until I
As pointed out in these dispatches,
following an address by Postmaster
General Will Hays on the subject
at Cleveland recently, the uncertain
conditions of trade, exchange
and international relations
has convinced the administration
leaders that to enact permanent
tariff legislation now would be dani
serous. Senator Capper, in an interview
with the United News,
w-ent so far atf to declare that
hasty tariff legislation might prove
to be "a liability instead of an
asset" for the party in power.
President Will Send Message.
It now remains to be seen what
can be done about the grant of
power in handling foreign loans
and the railroad funding authority
which Mr. Harding has previously
asked of Congress, but which request,
to date, has not been met.
On these two questions the President
is ready to make an issue if
necessary between the legislative
?nd executive branches of the government.
He will send a special
message to Congress in the near
future on the subject of the ralll
ad funding proposal, pointing out
t'af the funds for this work, an
hligation" of the government.

Mud Makes <~Wyr" KealUtlc.
Realistic war conditions were encountered
by the warriors during
their day's march over roads which
were heavy with mud as the result
of rain which fell during the riJght
and the greater part of the day.
The thick, sticky mud furnished
a problem for the artillery commanders,
forcing them to lead their
guns around a wide detour, which
brought them into the city from
the west over the old "U. S. ford"
