Tho British coal Industry Is doing
well now. A few weeks ago It
was a very sick industry. The
thousands of unemployed were get
ting by with half ration, and those
still on jobs were getting wages of
lower purchasing value than
those of before the war. Lines of
coal cars were, filed away on sid
ings. Shipping rates were down al
most to the pre-war levels but bot
toms went begging. Demand wm
drying up In nearly all normal mar-'
kets and losses In many cases were
so heavy as to foretell an irretriev
able financial disaster. Then came
erders from strike-smitten America.
Ixud cheers went up in Cardiff,
Glasgow and Newcastle.
There was talk of the miners re
fusing to "scab" on the American
atrtkers. William Straker. general
secretary of the Northumberland
Miners' federation, said he consid
ered It unlikely that the' federa
tion would take any official action
against the export f coal to
America, "for obvious reasons."
Last year American miners in
creased production during the na
tional coal strike here, and the
British miners have not forgotten.
Moreover, wages have been so near
t?ie starvation line and thera has
been so much unemployment that
Job looks like a Job.
AU Available Saaptr Basked.
F.atremlsfs are urging Interna
tional solidarity and there may be
Incidents of sympathetic action on
this side before the coal shortage
Is entirely relieved. The official
organ of the communists, who have
a certain strength In Kouth Wales,
accepts the report that "miners'
officials" have declared the attempt
to relieve the American shortage
with itriti.-h coal may be futile.
Newcastle reports that the whole
f the available supply Is fully
rooked up to the end of August
There are numerous Inquiries from
the Cnited States for urgent sup
plies at advanced rate. Conti
nental countries are getting Into
the scramble. Trices Jumped two
shillings and ships that were seek
ing charter at less than eight shil
lings a ton are now being chartered
at 1!S shillings. Miners are gen
erally working full time.
Glasgow tells a similar story. So
far the miners have not objected to
"scabbing." Germany is buying
heavily (to fulfill her reparations
obligations to Krance and Italy) and
the demand prom Lb en to exceed tha
supply, 'thanks to the trouble In
the states."
Caaagr Hap a Oversight.
South Wales three weeks ago was
In an unprecedented slump. One
town of 1.000 population, for in
stance, had 14.00ft starving along on
jnemployrnent benefits. exports
were half of the pre-war average
and there ware no orders. Accord
ing to operators' reports, the In
dustry waa not earning enough to
cover the wages paid the 110.009
miners employed, although the wage
rata waa lower than before the
war.
The "miracle." as some ecstatic
mlneowners have described the sud
den and enormous orders from
across the Atlantic, worked a complete-
change overnight. The -demoralising
despondensy" of July, to
quote one expert, gave way to a
"Vivifying cheerfulness." It is not
yet known Just how much coal
America is going to buy. but enough
has already been ordered to absorb
all tha collieries can produce up to
tha end of August, and not a few
companies which yesterday were
frantically begging for day-to-day
orders so aa to avoid the huge ex
pens Involved In suspending opera
tions have withdrawn from the
market.

of the caatains of trans-Pacific
ocean liners will go towsrd making
the sea bristle with guns again. Sev
eral commanders of slesmers plying

to equip their ahlps with rapldflre

of opium smugglers In the vicinity
of Koko bead and off the coast of

While the federal authorities will
not discuss the, matter they had ad
mitted that a communication would
be addressed to Washington, asking
that permission be granted. Under
the amended narcotics act. captains
of ships are held responsible for
every ounce of opium found on their
ships at th rate of US an ounce.
Such a condition. It is pointed out,
works a hardship on the command

blameless. Tha only remedy for this
condition is to bsck up the com
manders and let them fire' on the

The result of the London confer

British and Frencn viewpoints are

The great outstanding feature
alss. Is the paralysis which affects
all European politics. We succeeded
in making war. but In making a
peace it would- seem that all of our
powers of action have been ex
hausted.
Look at the subjects which have
been discussed in London, Lloyd
George debates French finances and
uea inexact figures. By the way
this reminds me of the Paris peace
conference,- when the British pre
mier reproached President Wilson
because the United States did not
have snough men killed In the war.
Then, when the guarantees were
taken up. what was discovered? The
installment of 3 per cent on ror
eign bills produced by German ex
perts, which was levied by the Lon
don conference In May, 19Z1, never
waa executed. How Is it possible

Johnson, searching his. own heart,

doubt very seriously whether the

of the republican party generally,
really loves him. And vet. on the
other hand, Johnson has gone so
close to the regulars on several oc
casions that he must be aware that

to which he owed his start in poli

T ONDON. Aug. 1 J. Field-Marshal
I i Earl Haig was elected a direc
tor of the Distillers' company at the
annual meeting held in Edinburgh.
The chief product of the company is
whisky. There are some persons
who think It rather detracts from
the field-marshal's dignity and rep
utation to be Interested in a busi
ness of that sort, but their disap
proval is hardly as vocal as It would
be In America. The Haigs long
have been financially interested in
whisky.
Earl Haig la usually credited with
being thorough In all that he does.
and he Intends to be thorough In
the whisky business. When he was
asked to Join the board of directors
be consented. It was stated, "on the
understanding that he would be no
mere figurehead, but would take bis
full share of the work as well ss
of the responsibility attached to the
office."
He is likely to have plenty to do.
The Distillers" company Is planning
to Increase greatly Its whisky out

Scotland. It has acquired half the
hares of the United Distillers of
Belfast and expects aoon to acquire
the entire concern.
Kobody seems very excited over
tha difficulties American authori
ties aro having with English boose
smugglers. "All this." says the
Daily Express, "is no doubt very
awkward for American prohibition
enforcement officers who are set on
the hopeless task of guarding thou
sands of miles of thinly populated

what we can do about it. The pus

the natural human appetite for

unanimity one wonders who can be

The Express continues more mag
nanimously: -When they fthe smugglers) are

couid not. even if we chose, tell
colonial governments that while

Race Mad Necessary,
Among other reasons for 1..V r.r
ii.iiuiera, mere is a general as
sumption that Johnson and his
irienos anticipated for a long time
hat Johnson would not have to re
turn to California and would nt
have to make this race. Tt w.. an
ticipated that the republican party
m California would give him his re-
party in California ought to do this
as a sign or approval of his services
to the state. Some of Johnson's
friends went further and said that
if Johnson should get his party's
romlnation in his home state with
out a contest, that local unanimity
would be an excellent leverage from
which to advance an appeal to the
country for the presidential nomina
tion in ijji. Whether Johnson ever
entertained this notion cannot be
known. Neither can it be known
whether he has ever thought or now
thinks of trying once more in 1924
for the republican nomination. Most
probably his course in that year
will be determined by such issues as

veil, uiuler similar circumstances,
would undoubtedly have taken sides
against anyone not wholly sym
pathetic to his leadership. In the
way Roosevelt did take sides against
Tawney and others during the
Roosevelt presidency. The Wilson
notion of party leadership, and the
Roosevelt notion of party leader
ship did not balk at all. but. on
tha other hand, went directly and
often eagerly Into applying the
test of party and personal loyalty
to candidates for the senate and
bouse. There are hard-boiled per
sons who say that any president
who wants to be successful as
party leader ought to do this and
must do this. Otherwise, they say,
how can. you hold senators and rep
resentatives in line for a party pro
gramme, and how can you have i
party programme?
Their argument is that party lead
ership Includes party discipline, and
that a leader who fails to apply dis
cipline can't be a leader In any true
sense.
Hardin? Opposed to Laah.
However that may be. Harding's
notion of leadership does not include
this sort of thing. One of the funda
mental theories underlying Hard
lnr's nomination and election was
that under Wilson, the cracking of
the lash, ss it was called, by the
White House over the senate, had'
gone too far and that we should
have a return to 'normalcy" in the
relations of tb branches of the
government to each other, as well as
In everything else.
It Is a consequence of Harding
principles, aad the peculiarly del-
cate test Of those principles In
volved in the Johnson case, that we
have observed ststements in a
Washlieton newsna rer. which fre-
ans, whom he had most stridently
lougni in tne past fought with an
intensity of opposition that in itself
provided a good deal of his early
political capital that spectacle was
puzzling to Johnson's followers, both
those in California and those
throughout the country.
Jn -that same contest in 1920 one
of Johnson's most energetic sup
porters, almost one of his patrons,
was William R. Hearst and Hearst
is the man who formed the subject
of one of Johnson's historic orations
of denunciation when he was mak
ing his start in California politics.
To have denounced Hearst, as John
son did, and then later on to become
Hearst's attorney In a lawsuit and
otherwise the beneficiary of Hearst's
friendliness that, too, has been con
fusing to many of those who com
posed Johnson's early following.
Tariff Role Strange.
' Johnson's latest appearance in a
role baffling to interpret haa been
In connection with the present tariff
bill. On the pending tariff Johnson
has been one with the regulars. This
position was doubtless the best from
the standpoint of his personal for
tunes in California. California
certainly a considerable portion of
California wants a high protective
tariff on various local products, and
for that high protective tariff John
son has fought most loyally. But to
see Hiram Johnson spending tne
better part of three days fight'ng
for a high tariff on Bhelled almonds
and unshelled walnuts, against the
penetrating shafts of another pro
gressive republican, Lenroot of Wis
consin that spectacle seemed
strange to most of those- who com
pose Johnson's following through
out the country, and must have
seemed strange to himself. The tar-
ff embarrasses the best of men.
Whatever state a progressive repub
lican comes from it has some prod
ucts for which It wants a h'gh
tariff. To get such a tariff, the sen
ators representing the state are sup
posed to fight for it, and it is pretty
difficult for a progressive senator
to fight for a high tariff for the
L-products of his own state and yet
"He down as respects the products
of other states or as respects the
tariff as a whole. The almost irre
sistible tendency is to fall into the
log-rolling game.
Some progressive senators some
how manage to get through these
tariff situations without embarrass-
will be interesting to see whether
this happens whether. If Johnson
secures his renomination, he will
curse the embarrassments that
must have irked his spirit and de
clare himself free of them. The
best guess is that Johnson will do
this and that after August 29 John
son, if he is nominated, will be once
more, as he was in the beginning,
conspicuously and vociferously "off
the reservation."
Shackles Are Irkaome.
This is really the role that nature
meant for Johnson. There are few
men to whom tne shackles of con
formity cause such painful rest
lessness. Not that Johnson Is really
a radical. Far from it. If Johnson
had got to the White House in 1920
the country would have been com
pletely 'safe from radicallcm. But
Johnson personally, apart , from
public questions, is by temperament
a nonconiormist, a natural mav
erick.
At least it is the consensus of the
guessing that Johnson will shake
himself free from his embarrassing
compromises with the regular wing
ot the republican party. Whether
he will want to or try to, shake
himself free from the other com
promising association which Is fully
as much of an embarrassment to
him In California, namely, the asso
ciation with William Randolph
ment. Men like Borah of Idaho seem j Hearst that Is less certain.
able to come tnrougn a tami aeuaic
without offending those interests In
their own states which want tanris,
but at the same time without seem
ing to get identified with the odium
whioh in the eyes of progressives
attends advocacy of high tariff bills
as a whole.
Prestige Is Lost.
Johnson has not seemed able to
do this, and. the present tariff de
bate leaves him with the appear
ance of having stood staunchly with
the regular republicans. And to the
extent that he gains favor with this
group he loses prestige with that
large body of Independents and
progressives who do not take the
point of view of the regular repub
licans on' tariffs generally.
As a result of this series of em
barrassing compromises in which
Johnson has found himself, the
question now asked by many of his
old friends is where is ho at? Is
he one with the regular republicans
or is he still one with the progress
ives who composed for him so large
and so loyal a following?
The best guess is that Johnson is
as unhappy as his old followers are
puzzled. A further shrewd guess is
that Johnson probably curses the
fate which brought up a high tariff
bill in precisely the same year and
month In which he had to ask for a
renomination. And the final shrewd
guess is that with his renomination,
if he gets it. Johnson will take in
the fullest breath of California air
that his rotund ohest can hold and
will emit it with a wild yell a yell
of freedom of independence. It
Johnson's opponent Is Charles C.
Moore, a San Francisco engineer and
business man who has served his
community in many roles, including
that of head of the exposition in
1915, in which the. state took so
much pride. During tho war Mr.
Moore was the spokesman of lib
erty loan drives and he is president
of the San Francisco chamber of
commerce. Moore has been some
thing of a progressive in politics. In
the early days he was one of the
opponents of what was known as
"the Southern Pacific ring." He was
a believer In the league-of nations
and was one of Hoover's electors
when Hoover "contested California
with Johnson in 1920. Moore's fol
lowing reflects those defections
from Johnson's early supporters
caused by the compromises on
Johnson's part already .referred to.
