In the judgment of republican and
democratic leaders alike all three
problems will rise to vex tlhe Hard-
ing administration and the new con-
gress as much as the difficult ques-
tion of foreign relations.
It is conceded by both sides that
tho omnibus tariff bill passed 'by thi
house recently will not pass the sen-
ate unless it is amended materially.
A number of commodities inserted in
it by a majority of the house will 'be
stripped from It in the senat?. Al-
though its supporters claim to have
enough votes to jam. it through the
upper chamber even they admit It is
in grave peril from threatened
amendments and debate.
