(By PETER KEEGAN) ONE OF THE BIG issues in the 1924 Presidential campaign will be Muscle Shoals, which just now is lit tle more than a name to a majority of the voters. The fight will center ?bout the disposition of the power project, owned by the Government at Muscle Shoals, and the effort of Henry Ford to lease the property for the manufacture of fertiliser will be discussed and argued at great length. After Congress failed to approve the sale of the property to Ford, Secre tary of War, Weeks sold the biggest power plant at Muscle Shoals to the Alabama Power Company, a bitter rival of the Ford interests. Ford's friends say he was squeezed out to keep him from being a formidable candidate for President. THE ANNOUNCEMENT in this oolumn that Woodrow Wilson would like to take the stump in the forth coming campaign has been followed by the statement in authoritave cir cles that Mr. Wilson's name might well be included among the Demo cratic Party's "receptive candidates" for the Presidency. It is the general opinion, however, that the former President would discourage any or ganised effort to make him the Demo cratic standard bearer again. THUS FAR THE Democrats only have one announced candidate, ,so there is no internal warfare in the party, except over policies. The sole candidate to date is Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, and he is feeling his way carefully, being hesi tant to commit himself on matters of policy until a clearer perspective can be obtained of next year's outlook. That former Secretary of the Treas ury, William G. McAdoo will also be a candidate there is no doubt, but of drums. <p MAJOR ROY A. HAYES, the Fed eral Prohibition Commissioner, and police officials, of the District of Co lumbia, are engaging in a controversy over the enforcement of the Volstead 4ft in Washington. The District fpmmissioners, who aire supreme in Municipal affairs served notice on Hayes that they will withdraw the metropolitan police from prohibition enforcement duty unless the Federal government takes steps to improve the personnel of the enforcement of ficers on duty in the capital. It is.a situation that is proving embarassing to both sides and may require adju dication by the President, who is the real boss after all. ABOUT HALF OF the member* of the Senate have gone to Europe this summer to get first-hand information on economic and political conditions. The first guess would b* that each would come buck with a new plan for solving all the problems of the World, but such is not the case. Nearly all of the returning legislators inform me that their investigations have con vinced them that there is virtually nothing that the United States can do just now except to sit on the side lines and watch the International poker game across the Atlantic. Incident ally, that is one of the cardinal points of this administration's foreign poli cy, too; to be ready to help when the Opportunity arises, but not to rush tirn American people into new dif ficulties. , ' t ; UNLESS MR. COOLIDGE uses his executive powers to revive the United States Grain Corporation, there is not likely to be any moVe of a spectacular character on the part of the Govern ment in extepdng financial relief to the farmers. The President is dead aet against a special session of Con gress and has his administrative agencies engaged in a study of rail road freight rates and the tariff to see if some plan cant be worked out to alleviate the economic embaraas aent arising from a crop surplus, es pecially wheat If the grain corpor ation it put to work again it probably wfll buy about 200,000,000 bushels of wheat, either for export or to hold until the price goes up.
