(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.
