By EDWARD W. PICKARD
PUTTING aside all partisan-
* ship, what do you and your
acquaintances really think of
the achievements of the Sixty-
seventh congress during its last
session7
t ITIT11 the passage of the rural
VV credits bill the last session of
the Sixty-seventh congress practi-
cally closed Its business, nnd when
llmil adjournment came that measure
stood out as the one big accomplish-
ment of the lawmakers during the en-
tire session. Of course, the usual sup-
ply hills had Insm put through, nnd one
of them, for the army, unfortunately
carried the usual pork feature for fiv-
ers ami harbors, despite the efforts of
the administration. Congress this time
has done little which it can point to
with pride, and this is said without
partisanship for both parties are to I
blame.
The farm bloc, backed by Secretaries
Hoover and Wullnce, had Its way hi
the matter of farm credits legislation,
for the Clipper hill as passed Included
the important features of the Lenront-
Anilerson Idll which Secretary Mellon
ami many members of the house hank- !
ing and currency committee did not
like. One amendment adopted by the
house extends the life of the War
Finance corporation until January III,
11*24. During the debate on llie meas-
ure Representative Burton of Ohio de-
nmini'isl the plan for the formation of
Intermediate credit hanks attached to
the federal land banks involving the
use of $00,1X10,000 In government funds
ns provided In the Lenroot-Anderaon
part of the composite hill. Tisi much
borrowing nnd too much credit hud
been one of the causes of the dllficul-
ties of the fanner, he asserted. lie
salil he spoke from experience us a
hanker during the war period.
PRESIDENT HARDING'S pet, the
I ship subsidy Idll, went to Its dentil j
Wednesday according to schedule. The
senate voted against recommitting It,
hut carried the motion of .Senator Ladd
of North Dakota to proceed with the
consideration of the house tllled-mllk
bill, which effectually disposed of the
subsidy measure. Senator Caraway of
Arkansas Introduced u blil which pro-
vides that the shipping board shall
turn over to states nnd municipalities
any ships which the latter ure willing
to operate, with a .view to developing
trade from particular ports. He said
he believed that the shipping hoard
planned to puulsh senators who have
been hostile to the subsidy hill by
withdrawing ships from trade mutes
In which they are especially Inter-
ested.
INTEREST was added to the pro-
I ceedings of the lust week of con-
gress by the development attending the
President's attempt to have the United
StHtes become a member of the (icr-
■nanent court of International Justice
organized under the auspices of the
League of Nations. In n message ask- I
Ing for senate authority to act, the !
President pointed out that the United
States hud had a conspicuous part In ,
the original conception of the court,
and added that "our deliberate public
opinion of today is overwhelmingly In
favor of our full participation, nnd the
attending obligations of irnliitentinre.''
Immediately the old bunch of Irreo
oncllahlcs In the senate (lectured their
npiissltlon t» 9hc plan, threatening n
filibuster. Senator Lodge summoned
the foimign relations committee to con-
sider It, and the committee instead of
voting addressed to the President a
series of questions framed by Mr.
Borah. These were embodied In this
resolution:
"That the President he requested to
advise the committee whether he fa-
vors an agreement obligating all pow-
ers, or governments, who are signers of
the protocol creating the court, to sub-
mit all questions nhout which there Is
a dispute and which cannot tie settled
by diplomatic efforts, relative to:
“(n) The Interpretation of treaties.
“(b) Any question of International
law.
"(e) The existence of any fact
which, If established, would constitute
it breach of an International obligation.
"(d) The nature or extent of repar-
ation to be made for the breach of an
International obligation.
"Secondly, If the President favors
sin'll an agreement, does he deem It
advisable to communicate with the]
other powers to uncertain whether they
nre willing to obligate themselves us
aforesaid? Or lire they to Insist that
such questions shall only be submitted
in case both, or all, parties Interested
agree to the submission after the con-
troversy arises?"
Thereupon It was announced at the
White House that the administration
would wait until the next congress
met before pressing for action on the
President’s request. The Democrats,
meanwhile, were In high glee over
the nffulr and hastened to take nil
political advantage of It. They de-
clared they would endeavor to force
a vote on the matter before adjourn-
ment Id order to put the senators on
record.
A T THIS writing It seems probable
Ja that Hie senate will refuse to con-
firm several appointments made by the
President, the most Important being
that of James O. McNary to lie con-
troller of the currency. There was no
apparent opposition to the appoint-
ment of Momlell of Wyoming to lie a
member of the war flnunce corporation
and that of Towner of Iowa to tie gov-
ernor of Porto Rico. Among other ap-
pointments of the week by the Presi-
dent were those of ltrtg. Gen. Frank T.
ltlnes ns director of the veterans' bu-
reau Htnl Richard M. Tobin of San
Francisco as minister to the Nether-
lands.
Mr. Harding on Tuesday made the
expected changes in ids cabinet. Post-
master General Work was made secre-
tary of the interior to succeed Mr.
Fall, nnd was himself succeeded by
Harry S. New of Indiana. These nom-
inations the senate promptly con-
tinued.
CHANCELLOR t'l’NO of Germany
VJ finds himself between the Devil
and the deep sea. On one side the
Socialists are pressing him to check
forcible opposition to the French ill
the Ruhr and tn do all in his power
to Induce the French to. withdraw,
fearing that long continued occupa-
tion vylll lend to another European
war. On the other side the Nation-
alists, now Including the Monarchists,
are not only demanding that ttie oppo-
sition continue, hut are organizing the
nucleus of a national army anti are
stirring up all kinds of trouble for the
French tn ttie Ruhr. I'uno told his
cabinet that If Germany let up In her
resistance to the French there prob-
ably would be a revolution and that tt
was Impossible to start overtures for
a settlement now. It whs believed In
Berlin that the government was seri-
ously considering the Idea of asking
the United States to Intervene.
There Is no doubt that the Nation-
alists, headed by Luilendorf nnd backed
hy von Hlndenburg, nre creating a dan-
gerous situation. The field marshal Is
quoted as having said to a meeting of
the Hanover Agricultural league: "We
will never forget that we nre all Ger-
mans and must do our duty, nnd that.
If necessary, we will fight even until
the last flag Is torn to pieces and the
last sword-blade shattered. It Is bet-
ter to perisli In honor than to live tn
disgrace.” \
Prince Wilhelm Friedrich von Llppe
was Hrrested In Dusseldorf by the
French who said they found on him
documents showing that he ts a mem-
ber of n secret organization In the
Ruhr whose mission Is to foment
trouble with the forces of occupation.
In the process of disarming the green
police the French have deported large
numbers of them and have placed
many of the officers under urrest. They
met with the stubbornest opposition
In Bochum. Both the French and the
Itelgiuns have seized large sums of
German money In the occupleda regions
on the ground thut It was sent" to help
in the fomenting of trouble. General
Degoutte announced measures for col-
lecting the 40 per cent tax on Ruhr
coal and said refusal to meet tills obli-
gation would result In the court mur-
t in I of the offenders and the seizure
of coal at the mines. Shipments of
coal to Holland nnd Switzerland are
not subject to the assessment.
ROLAND and Lithuania agreed on a
* truce in their squabble over the
neutral zone, but It was not very
strictly observed during the week. The
Voles elaim to be trying to avoid any
clashes nnd assert that German officers
are leudlng tfielr opponents. There are
reports that the Germans In East
Prussia nre arming to retake Memel,
and other reports that the Poles- are
planning to seize East Prussia. The
chances for serious trouble in thut
region ure still excellent.
U'LLIOTT WADSWORTH Is In Paris

United States for the upkeep of our
army on the Rhine, and reparations
commissioners of the allies, as finan-
cial experts, are examining the ques-
tion. Really there doesn't seem much
to examine, for it was agreed nfter the
armistice that Germany should pay
the expenses of the forces of occupa-
tion before anything else In tlie way
of reparations, nnd the allies already
have collected these costs.
/'CZECHOSLOVAKIA comes forward
V-* as the first of the conti-
nental European nations to plan defi-
nitely for the payment of Its wur debt
to the United Stales, in Its budget
for 1923 Is an Item of nearly $4,000,-
000 to apply on that debt which Is es
tlimited nt about $100,000,000. Foreign
Minister Penes says a commission will
come to Washington soon for tlie pur-
pose of setiling discrepancies, and that
Ids country hopes to get as good terms
as any allied debtor to America.
That Finland also intends to pay the
United Slates Is shown hy the fact
that Dr. Axel Leonard, the Finnish
minister In Washington, has begun pre-
liminary conversations with Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon on the matter
of refunding Finland's debt, which
amounts to more thnn $8,000,000. with
$1,150,000 of accrued Interest.
I) Y AN order of the federal railroad
D labor hoard Issued Wednesday,

handlers and laborers and the eight-
hour day was restored to all of the
321,000 members of llie Brotherhood of

follows one of several weeks ago, In
which the hoard restored the eight-
hour day to 15,non railway signalmen.
The wage increase amounts to half of

board last July.
/GOVERNOR BLAINE of Wisconsin
saved the state's National Guard
from being abolished, sending to the
legislature a special message praising

La Follette declared ids opposition to
the Mil abolishing the guard. Mrs. La
Follette announced that she favored
the measure.
