EVENTS OF 1923
PASS IN REVIEW
(Concluded from first rage)
with many conditions, and It was Im
mediately rejected by France. Eng
land also declared the “ Ter Insufficient.
Rprlin then asked a new reparations
conference on the total sum and of
fered annuities of 1,500,000,000 gold
marks. Great Britain Invited France
and Italy to Join her In a reply to
this, nnd submitted n draft of her
proposed answer, but this also fell
through.
The British government
thereupon sent a note to France and
Belgium declaring the Ruhr occupa
tion Illegal and a failure. Insisting
on an impartial reparations Inquiry
after the plan suggested by Secretary
of State Hughes, and saying France
must pay enough of the money lent
her to enable Great Britain to pay
America. Again no results, Premier
Poincare declaring Germany must set
tle the reparations question before
an economic accord could be reached.
Chancellor Stresemann, who had suc
ceeded Dr. Cuno, announced the aban
donment of passive resistance nnd
said no more reparations would be
paid nnd the treaty of Versailles would
be repudiated. He also put an end
to the nld which the government had
been giving the Inhabitants of the oc
cupied regions. Soon after this the
Industrial magnates of the Ruhr nnd
Rhineland signed a pact with the
French for tho resumption of work
and of payments of material.
In December the reparations com
mission decided to appoint two com
mittees of experts, one to examine
German money in foreign lands and
the other to try to devise means by
which Germany might balance her
budget nnd stabilize her finances.
Poincare now seemed In a yielding
mood and President Coolldge an
nounced he approved of unofficial
American participation through the
selection of Americans as members
of those committees.
Turkey’s diplomatic victory at Lau
sanne was not easily won. While the
conference there was deadlocked In
January Mustapha Kemal mobilized
armies to move against Constanti
nople, Mosul nnd other points and
called three classes to the colors to
combat the Greeks In Thrace. The
quarreling in the peace conference
was Incessant. On Jnnuary 31 the
allies submitted a treaty to the Turks,
demanding Its acceptance within four
days. The Turks agreed to sign It if
the economic clauses were reserved
for future settlement. Lord Curzon
departed in a rage, and on February
6 the conference broke up. Diplomatic
conversations continued, however; the
British Indicated they would make
concessions, and the conference was
resumed on April 23, Russia being ex
cluded. On July 24 n treaty was
signed which gave to Turkey nearly
all she had demanded, the question of
oil concessions being left for later
consideration. A few days later the
United States nnd Turkey signed
treaties of amity and commerce nnd
on extradition. By October 2 the al
lied military forces had evacuated
Constantinople and the Turks soon
after took formal possession of their
old capital.'
Warfare between Italy and Greece
In the autumn was narrowly averted.
An Italian military commissioner and
his aids were murdered In Albania
nnd on August 28 Italy demanded that
Greece apologize abjectly and pay
reparations. The Greek reply being
unsatisfactory, the Italians promptly
bombarded and occupied the Island of
Corfu. Greece appealed ro the League
of Nations, which was disposed to
take up the affair; but Premier Mus
solini declared Italy would withdraw
from the league nnd Ignore Its deci
sion if It Insisted on nrhltrstlng the
dispute. The sltustlon was most em
barrassing for the league, but the
allied council of ambassadors rescued
It by assuming Jurisdiction nnd order
ing Greece to comply with Italy’s de
mands almost In their entirety. Greece
gave In, apologized and paid 90,000,000
lire Indemnity, and on September 27
Italy evacuated Corfu.
Mussolini achieved another triumph
by an agreement with Jngn-Slavla
whereby Italy obtained poasesalon of
Flume.
In January American and British
commissions met In Washington to ne
gotiate the refunding of the British
war debt to America, and their task
was soon completed to the apparent
satisfaction o f both natlona.
The
Washington treaties on reduction of
armament and concerning the Pacific
were ratified by Italy In February and
by France la July. Through the ef-
forts of am American ccnualMloa sent
to' Mexico, the government of our
neighbor was finally brought to ami
cable terms and the long-withheld rec
ognition waa accorded by Washington
on August 31.
DOMESTIC AFFAIRS
Overshadowing all other events in
the United States was the death of
President Warren G. Harding.
He
had long planned a trip through the
Middle and Far West and to Alaska
In order to talk with the people and
get their reactions. Though tired out
and far from well, he started on June
20, accompanied by Mrs. Harding and
several members of his cabinet. After
delivering several important addresses,
notably one ndrocntlng American mem
bership In the World court, he sailed
to Alaska. Returning thence to San
F'ranclsco, he fell 111 there on July 28.
Four days later, on August 2, he
passed away. The taking of his body
back to Washington, the services
there, the trip to Marlon, Ohio, nnd
the Interment there of the little town's
distinguished citizen on August 10
gave the people of the country ample
opportunity to show in what high
esteem nnd nfTection they held Mr.
Harding. Literally the entire nation
mourned sincerely, and nil the other
nntlons gave expression to their grief.
Vice President Calvin Coolldge took
the oath of office as President at his
father’s home In Plymouth, Vt., and
assumed his new duties at once, re
taining the entire Harding cabinet nnd
announcing that he would carry out
the Harding policies where possible.
It had been taken for granted that
the Republican party would nominate
Mr. Harding In 1024, nnd Mr. Cool-
idge immediately became a probable
nominee. However, before the year
closed other candidates came forward,
notably Senator Hiram Johnson of
California, Governor Pinchot of Penn
sylvania and Senator LaFoIlette of
Wisconsin. For the Democratic nomi
nation there were several probabili
ties, Including Sonntor Underwood nnd
William G. McAdoo, avowed candi
dates. and Senator Ralston of Indiana,
Gov. A1 Smith of New York and Gov
ernor Sllzer o f New Jersey. There
was much talk of the possible nomi
nation of Henry Ford by one of the
old parties or by a third party, nnd
his admirers were exceedingly active.
The Republican national committee,
acceding to the wishes of the Presi
dent, selected Cleveland as the place
for the national convention of 1024,
und set Juno 10 as the date for Its
opening. Previous action by which the
representation of the southern states
was reduced was rescinded by the
committee.
Secretary of the Interior Fall retired
from President Harding’s cabinet on
March 4 and was succeeded by Hubert
Work, the latter's place as postmaster
general being filled by the appoint
ment of Harry S. New. Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty, against whom Im
peachment charges had been made the
previous year, was fully exonerated
by the house Judiciary committee, the
report being adopted by the house on
Jnnuary 25. Among the appointments
made by President Harding were Rob
ert Woods Bliss as minister to Swe
den; Miles Poindexter as ambassador
to Peru ; IL M. Tobin as minister to
the Netherlands; E. T. Sanborn ns as
sociate Justice of the Supreme court
of the United States, and Gen. Frank
T. Hines as director of the veterans’
bureau. The latter appointment was
followed by charges of mismanage
ment, waste, etc., against the former
director. Colonel Forbes, which were
Investigated by a senate committee.
Having passed the agricultural cred
its bill and many acts of lesser im
portance, and killing the ship-subsidy
bill, the Sixty-seventh congress came
to an end on March 4. The Sixty-
eighth congress met on December 3
and the Republican majority was so
slender that n bloc of so-called pro
gressives held the balance of power.
Speaker GUlett was re-elected nnd
President Coolldge then delivered his
first message, In which he declared
himself In favor of American member
ship In the World court, advocated re
duction of taxes and opposed the sol
diers' bonus.
Two governors got Into serious
trouble. Walton of Oklahomn, who
said he was fighting the Ku Klux
Klan, came Into conflict with the state
legislature and assumed virtually dic
tatorial powers. Despite his efforts to
prevent it, the legislature met In spe
cial session, the house Impearhed him
on numerous charges nnd the sennte,
sitting as n trial court, found him
guilty and removed him from his of
fice. Walton was then Indicted by a
grand Jury. The other state executive
in trouble was Gov. W. T. McCray of
Indiana, who got Into deep financial en
tanglements and also was Indicted.
The Supreme court on April 30 de
cided that foreign vessels could not
bring liquor Into American ports, even
though sealed, and later the liquor
stores of several liners were seized at
New York. F'orelgn nntlons protested
but could not well take any action.
However, late In the year the govern
ment negotiated an agreement with
Great Britain whereby the right of
search was extended to about twelve
miles from shore, and In return It was
expected the ship liquor regulation
would be modified. The extension of
the search limit was made necessary
by the activities o f the smuggling
I fleets which kept the country well sup-
| plied with wretched liquor. On May 4
the New York legislature repealed
the state prohibition law. In Octol>er
a conference of governors on law en
forcement was held In Washington,
and President Coolldge pledged the
full aid o f the government machinery,
but Insisted each slate must assume
Its own share o f the burden.
President Coolldge had the appoint
ment o f one ambassador last year.
C p L. P«orje Harvry resigned ius post
at the court of St. James on October
4 nnd Frnnk B. Kellogg was selected
for the place.
Immediately after Its summer vaca
tion the Supreme court rendered an
Important decision upholding the laws
of the Pacific coast states which pro
hibit aliens from owning land. These
laws, o f course, are directed against
the Japanese especially.

DISASTERS
Unequaled In modern times was the
disaster that befell Japan on Septem
ber 1 when violent earthquake shocks
and resultant fires destroyed Yoko
hama entirely and nbout two-thirds of
Tokyo and ruined many smaller towns.
The number of killed was estimated
at 225,000, and the injured at more
than half that number. Though many
of the houses were flimsy, the prop
erty loss was enormous. The hun
dreds of thousands of refugees suf
fered severely, but the American gov
ernment and the American Red Cross
were swift with relief measures, and
other nations joined In the work.
Shiploads of food and millions of dol
lars were rushed to the stricken land,
and the Japanese government was ma
terially aided In Its task of rebuilding
the ruined cities.
Aqiong other serious disasters of
tlie year were: January 3, twenty per
sons killed by collapse of a bridge at
Kelso, Wash.; February 8, mine ex
plosion at Dawson killed 120, nnd one
at Cumberland, B. C., killed 30; Feb
ruary 18, twenty-two patients nnd
three attendants were killed In Insane
asylum fire on Ward's Island, New
Y ork ; March 10, Greek transport sank
with 150 soldiers; April 6, tidal waves
in Corea nnd Japan killed 000; May
14, Hot Springs, Ark., partly de
stroyed by flood and fire; May 17,
seventy-three killed In burning of a
schoolhouse at Cleveland, S. C .; June
10, disastrous floods In Kansas, Okla
homa nnd Colorado; June 15, thou
sands of Persians killed by earth
quakes ; June 18, several towns de
stroyed by eruption of Mt. Etna; Au
