By EDWARD W. PICKARD. 1
Congress is In session again, with
(lie bouse marking time while the sen
ate tries to catch up. There Is a tre
mendous lot of important legislation
before the senators, .and President
Harding, through Senator Watson of
Indiana, warned them that they must
speed n, not only for the benefit of
the natldta but in order that Republi
can campaign promises may be re
deemed. Aa a starter the President
submitted the treaties with Germany,
Austria and Hungary, without a spe
cial message but with the understand
ing that they shall be ratified before
the conference on limitation of arma
ments opens in November.
The treaties were referred to the
foreign relations committee and the
old opposition of the lrrecondlables,
led by Senator Borah, developed at
mce. It centered on the section re
serving t the United States the right
to have a representative on the repara
tions commission. Borah contended
that If this right were exercised this
country would become Involved im
mediately in the reparations dispute
that forms the crux of the present
European problems.
At the first session Senator Penrose
reported the tax bill as revised by
the finance committee and he said he
would seek to keep It before the sen
Hte continuously until it is disposed
of. Next day the measure was called
up for consideration. It may be two
weeks before a final vote Is taken on
it. Senator Gerry was given permis
sion to file a minority report for the
Iemocratic members of the committee
within seven days, and Senator La Fol
lette was accorded the same -time to
tile his dissenting views.
The senate calendar, in addition to
this tax bill and the treaties, con
tains such important measures as the
tariff bill, the $500,000,000 .railroad
, funding bill, the Borah bill to exempt
American coastwise vessels from pay
ment of Panama canal tolls and the
bill authorizing the President and sec
retary of the treasury to refund the
$11,000,000,000 owed by the allied gov-
'ernments to the United States. Nev
ertheless, In what appears to be utter
disregard of the best Interest of the
people, the radical "drys" made an at
tempt to capture the right of way for
the Campbell-Willis antlbeer bill. Sen
ator Sterling of South Dakota fore
stalled Senator Penrose as soon as a
quorum was obtained and moved re
newal of consideration of that meas
ure, the conference report on it being
the Issue. Senator Reed refused to
agree to the fixing of a date for a
vote. The "wets" then renewed their
filibustering tactics, but failed to get
an adjournment
From now on there will be no lack
nt partisan politics in congress. This
was made evident on the opening day
when Pat Harrison of Mississippi en
tertained the senate with a violent at
tack on the administration in which
he asserted It had displayed "pitiable
inefficiency" and practiced "outrageous
extravagance." He scored the Pres
ident because be plays golf and spends
week ends, on the Mayflower. The
Immediate cause of Harrison's outburst
was the letter written by President
Harding to Senator McCormick of Il
linois recounting the achievements of
the Republican party since March 4.
This, declared the Misslsslppian, was
for the purpose of influencing the New
Mexico senatorial election. Senator
Lodge arose to reply to Mr. Harrison,
but contented himself with reading the
returns from New Mexico, showing

The prohibition unit of the treasury
department gave the home brewers an
awful Jolt last week. To dispose of
unfounded reports that permits were
being issued for home manufacture of
wine and beer. It issued a statement in
which the following things were de
clared illegal:
1. The manufacture of any intoxi
cating beer, wine or spirits in the
home, even for strictly private home
consumption.
.2. The manufacture of any beer
or wine of any alcoholic content with
out a permit which permits are not

makers.
3. The sale of any hops or other

The railways are facing the prospect
of another big strike, with the prob
ability of disorder and the open shop
as results. The six federated shop
crafts unions have voted to strike
against the general .railroad wage re
duction of July 1, last but have de
ferred action until the United States
railway labor board promulgates the
working rules it has been considering.
The men are bitterly opposed to many
of the decisions already made by the
board. They believe the railroads
want them to strike so that the open
shop may be instituted.

The latest war to break out in this
peaceful world is between Albania and
Serbia, and the immediate objective Is
possession of a zone twenty miles long
and eight deep. The Serb commander
on the frontier ordered the Albanians
to evacuate six towns In that territory,
and twenty-four hours later began
hostilities. Bishop San Noll, Albanian
delegate to the League of Nations, re
ported the affair to that body, and
later It was secretly considered by the
council of the league. The Serb dele
gate was quoted as saying Serbia
would not permit the league to intrude
into the1 Albanian question; that the
supreme council of the allies must fix
the frontiers of Albania and thus Jugo
slavia would be protected and guar
anteed by Great Britain and France.
Though , the actual war in this case
may be comparatively trifling, the mat
ter is fraught with serious complica
tions. Serbia, it Is said, plans to cut
through to the Adriatic jby way of
Tirana, Splitting Albania in two, and
hopes eventually to absorb the north
ern half of that country. Greece Is
credited with an ambition to grab the
lower half. Italy stands ready to
seize the naval base and port of Va
lona, which would make the Adriatic
an Italian lake, and this is vfgorously
opposed by Great Britain.
The League of Nations admitted
three new nations to membership. They
are Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
The vote to take them in was unani
mous for the several nations that were
opposed refrained from voting. The
council of the league set a precedent
by referring to the assembly for set
tlement the dispute between Poland
and Lithuania concerning Vilna,
Intervention in the Greco-Turkish
war was suggested by several dele
gates and probably it would be wel
comed by Greece, for her array in
Asia has met with another setback.
The Salt desert again proved itself an
efficient guard for Angora on the west
and the Greeks have once more re
tired to the Sakarla river with the
Kemallsts in hot pursuit.
Of writing many notes there Is nd
end, apparently. In the Irish affair.
De Valera wants the proposed confer
ence with the British cabinet but he
wants it on his own terms that the
Irish delegates enter it as representa
tives of a sovereign state. From this
attitude he dare not back down, for
his own "official" status depends on
his firmness. Lloyd George is equal
ly Intent in denying this demand, and
is fully supported by the cabinet,
whose members returned to Scotland
where the premier was somewhat un
der the weather at Gairloch. In one
of his latest notes De Valera suggested
that Britain n&djpijflafld conclude a
"treaty of ac&iWfation and asso
ciation," expresSW)gi$V belief that this
would end the dispfioe forever and en
able the two nations to settle down In
peace.
.The British official announcement,
several weeks ago, that the Moslem
revolt on the 'Malabar coast of India
had been suppressed was premature.
The trouble is about as acute as ever,
the rebels control large districts and,
except where troops are stationed, the
lives and property of non-Moslems are
not safe. The British authorities in
India have obtained a document call
ing on all Mussulmans in India to
proclaim complete independence from
Great Britain and set up a republic
In the event that the British take ac
tion against the Angora government of
Turkey.
