Washington, April "1 5. President
Harding has been steadily gaining
Btrenth. Of that there can be no
doubt. The tact that he has shown
was expected. The ' rirmnesa haf
come to many persons as a. surprise!
It seems Already clear that the sen
ate will not, under Mr. Harding, be
able . to usurp the ; functions of the
president. , Neither will any, other
group ; be able to work its unre
stricted; will with him.
If I may be pardoned a somewhat
personal Illustration, I will use my own
feeling as an illustration of what I find
generally, pn some ; of the. issues that
I have at lieartthe : president baa dis
appointed me and yet In spite of those
disappointments. I find myself much
more hopeful than I was last November
that he will be able' to steer successfully
his difficult course. I That also is the
prevailing attitude among my friends.
They are on the whole more liberal by
nature than he is and yet they how in
cline to think well of his intentions
and hope much of hi&vuse of power.
A BCSIXESS GOVERjraEITT (
One expression which the Republicans,
the president among them, are using a
good deal, will need ' elucidation. More
business-in government, less government
in business, has. a taking sound, but the
second half of it will have to be cleared
up before anybody knows what it means.
More business in government means, ac
cording to the president, the strictest
economy in approplrattons, the reorgan
isation of the departments to lessen
overlapping, conflict and red tape and
at the least the beginning of a. budget
system. ... h
What does less government in busi
ness mean? Obviously, it fits in -with
opposition to government ownership of
railways, of government operation of
shipping lines, but-does it indicate any
lessening of the control that the I. C. C.
is to have over the railroads? Does it
give any countenance, to the underground
effort being carried on on Capitol hill -to
abolish or weaken the federal trade com
mission? What does it mean?
HAEDI5G AND lOBIB
The future of the federal trade com
mission is Involved In an outbreak that
I have just read in j the Lumber World
Review.! The , editor i of this paper, one
Boiling Arthur Johnson, thinks he has
influence with President Harding. Pres
ident Harding has j had some lumber
Interests and he and Johnson belonged
to a lodge mads up of men concerned
with lumber and other wood industries.
This organisation is called the Hoo
Hoos. The president's fellow member
now writes an editorial called "What
Will President Harding Do About Itr
The gist of it is that the lumber in
terests ought to get after the president
more i sharply. It is mostly a wail over
their unbecoming modesty, but one hope
ful paragraph says,: "We understand
from a Washington newspaper that Pres
ident Harding had a visit one day this
week from our (the whole national lum
ber, industry) John Henry Kirby. at
which we trust one or the other of these
great personages may have advanced a
thought or two on this subject."
MIND SOT EAST ':
The subject is Mr, Johnson's view' of
how the timber of the United States
ought to be handled by the government.
He des not feel easy In his mind.
"Many other persons than those in the
lumber industry many a Brisbane and
Hapgood and Pinchot are interesting
themselves in these matters and are
bothering the president - about it with
their pens," he Says.- -
The president may be bothered by Mr.
Brisbane's pen. Many people are. Mr.
Pinchot has made trouble in his time.
But Mr. Harding cannot- be much both
ered by' me. The worst thing I have
done about lumber is to call attention to
the information gathered by the federal
trade commission about price fixing. In
' his speech to congress on Tuesday the
president showed a good deal of interest
nth in federal trade commission and
in price f ixing.
Hi WOBSI OFFE5SE
e next! to the worst thing J have
done la to invite the attention of con
gress to the approaching lumber famine.
Conflicting bills dealing with that threat
will be introduced, soon referred to com
mittees, fought about and then at the
regular session reported on. -,
Shortage bf houses is no joke. Apart
from houses the 'cost of lumber and the
freedom of the supply affect millions.
Among the' largest users are the rail
roads, the farmers, the manufacturers of
furniture, vehicles and agricultural Im
plements and the newspapers. The gov
ernment report of June 1 last said :
. "Apparently all construction work in
the United States is behind requirements,
but the deficit is greatest in dwellings." -
Here are a few facts based also on
government reports. The supply of lum
ber in New Kngland has been falling
rapidly since 1907. -,
raoDrcTiojf falls rapidly
In New York It has been falling Bince
1840. Pennsylvania led all the states in
1860, but how does not produce enough
to supply one city district.
Once the lake states supplied the coun
try from the Rockies to the Atlantic. In
1892 the regions supplied 9.000,000.000
feet. In 1898 only 1,000,000,000. In the
South the remaining supplies of virgin
pines are only one fifth of the original
stand. Within a single generation the
South promises to produce little If any
more than it meeds for itself.: Even in
the West, to stick to the reports, there
are "warnings that the conclusion of the
story will be the same as that of other
regions and in far less time than baa
been anticipated.
Then comes famine a lumber famine
to which there is no answer.
I return to Mr, Johnson and his edi
torials ; , I 4 !i
"Now. that Norman Hapgood and the
Hearst propaganda generally have
taken up the national timberland policy
question and become a crutch a very
powerful crutch. If you please of Gif
ford Pinchot, Just how Is all this going
to affect President Warren O. Harding?"
- Less government in business? Perhaps.
But will the attempt be made to have it
mean less protection for ; the ; ordinary
mut?
Colombia Treaty
Would Dishonor
U. S., Says Borah
(By United New.)
Washington. April 16. Senator Borah,
speaking on the Colombian treaty
Thursday, said Its ratification would be
a confession of wrong doing of which
this country is not guilty.
"The ratification of this treaty will
be construed by the world as putting
the taint of dishonor on the government
of the United States," said Borah, "and
the impression of crime on the great
Americans Immediately concerned In the
Panama transaction. Theodore Roose
velt was not a common adventurer; John
Hay was not a liar."
Borah said the payment or szs.ihjo.duu
to Colombia in itself would constitute a
"contrite apology" in reply to arguments
that removal of the apology clause in
the original treaty made the present
treaty more acceptable. .
"Republican leaders for 17 years have
denounced the treaty as blackmail,"
Borah declared. . ,' -: '
Senator Knox, who was a cabinet
member while negotiations with Colom
bia were being carried on under Taf t
and Roosevelt, said the senate la morally
bound to compensate Colombia, "not for
what she lost but for what we gained."
Knox declared there Is no legal claim
against this government, and upheld its
course of action. . t
Senator Pomerene said the United
States was partly wrong and advocated
admitting it and making payment to
Colombia. -
