(By PETER KEEGAN)
ALL EYES ARE now turned to
ward the opening of the Sixty-Eigth
Congress next month. For official
Washington it means a lively winter
politically and socially, as there will
be many new face , in both Senate
and House; and volcanic happenings
are expected from the word go at
both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
National legislators who have been
visiting and conniving with the home
folks since last March are drifting
back into the capital with the result
that the city has again begun to take
on an air of realising its own impor
tance in the affairs of the country
and the world.
CONGRESS HAS ONE job already
cut it out for R, Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon having supplied
members with figures showing how
they can cut the nation's tax bill at
least 9800,000,000 annually by slieing
income nuisance levies and forgetting
the soldiers bonus. Mellon is accus
ed of course, of advertising his tax
reduction program to forestall, if
possible, any serious effort to enact
the bonus. There is no doubt, how
ever, that a bonus bill will be passed.
The only thing that is doubtful is the
attitude of President Coolidge to
ward the legislation.
BY REFUSING TO take part in a
new reparations conference under
the limitations proposed by Premier
Poincare of France, President Cool
idge haa placed his Administration on
a reasonably firm footing with both
the irreconcilable and the anti-isola
tionist elements of the Republican
Party. When it looked like the
United States would go into the con
ference on the French terms, Repub
lican leaders who grew wrathy ovar
any sign of an effort to "entangle"
this country in European affairs,
started a "drum-fire" attack upon
Coolidge and Hughes. . Now that the
United States had indicated that it is
still fearful of getting mixed up too
generally in Europe's trouhta, ,
Hughes has satisfied this group, while,
at the same time, be has shown the ;
League of Nations Republicans that j
he is willing to go into Europe, but
that private international quarrels
overseas makes it impossible for
American assistance to, accomplish
anything of consequence.
NOW THAT FORMER President
Wilson has broken the silence which
he has observed since leaving the
White House in 1921, leaders of both
parties are watching intently for the
next move on his part and are won
dering more than ever what part he
will take in the 1924 campaign. Al
though Wilson's son-in-law, Former
Secretary of the Treasury, William
G. McAdno, will soon announce his
candidacy fot the Democratic presi
dential nomination, he has not yet,
publicly at least, received the backing
of the former President.
PROHIBITION COMMISSIONER
Hayes has delved into old records and
has emerged with the conclusion that
Abraham Lincoln should be honored 1
equally as a great prohibitionist and
as the emancipator of the slaves.
Lincoln wanted to free the nation of
both evils, Haynes said, and did not
think that his task was completed
when the freedom of the negroes had
been effected. Haynes produces ex
cerpts from Lincoln's writing and
speeches to prove hit assertions.
DR. HUGH 8. CUM MING, Surgeon
General of the United 8tates Public
Health Service, announces that medi
cal advice can now he sent by radio
to ships at sea from principal Atlan
tic, Pacific and Gulf Ports. The ser
vice, he says, has met with "unques
ioned success". In some cases, sur
geons on shore have given instruc
tions by radio for the performance of
highly technical and dangerous oper
ations on ships hundreds of -miles
from shore, thereby successfully
handling cases which otherwise might
have terminated seriously.
