SLUMP OF INFLUENCE 1
OF THE PRESIDENCY IN j
HARDING'S FIRST YEAR
Cv Factory
i or Asheboro
(By David F. St. Clair.)
Wiashington, March 1. Warren G.
Harding has been in the White House
one year. No president in time of
peace ever entered upon the duties of
his office with such tremendious re
sponsibilities and such boundless op
portunities for personal . leadership.
The great war had made the United
States the dominant moral and finan
cial power of the world and the Presi
dent the first citizen of the universe.
No monarch in modern times had
ever been accorded such heartfelt
homage as Woodrow Wilson had re
ceived in Europe after the armistice.
It was a tribute more to his command
ing position than to the man himself
for no man on this planet ever wield
ed such stupendous power as he did
backed by the American people.
But the war had endangered the
American constitution; it had not ex
alter President Wilson at the ex
pense of Congress as Senator Lodge
had asserted. It had morally exalttd
the American people and their govern
ment, Congress as well as the presi
dency if they choose to meet their
moral obligations to the world. But
when the victory over Germany was
in sight a majority of the American
people, so constituted by disloyal Ger
man and Irish elements, at once be
came moral and political slackers and
prevented the party that had conduct
the war from making peace. Such a
thing had never before occured in
American History. The Republicans I
have constantly boosted of this un
precedented event." Senator Lodge
rolled it under his tongue in his're-'
cent speech before the Massachusetts
legislature in Boston. President
Harding has become the chief person
al heir to this momentous reaction in
American idealism, and instead of
seizing and shaping the great events of
the last year with enlightened vision
and a fluid imagination, he has suf
fered these events to prod and drive
him into the position he has finally
taken.
Mr. Harding has resisted practical
ly every move that has brought any
credit to his administration. What he
calls the greatest achievement of his
first year in. the -WJ?ttft House, th
work of the arms ' conference"' vwS8"
forced upon him. First by a combina-,
tion of Democrats and farm bloc Re
publicans in Congress a reduction of
a third to a fourth in personnel, and
appropriations for the army and the
navy was determined upon m spite of
the President, his war and navy sec
retaries ami the Old Guard. " The
President exerted the whole power of
his office for weeks to prevent trie
naval committee of the Senate from
reporting out Senator Borah's resolu
tion for the limitation of naval arma
ments. When it finally got to the
House he again employed every power
he posessed to kill it.
When the scope of the arms con
ference had been broadened by Secre
tary Hughes and its success had be
come a promising reality, the Prsident
to those who were on the inside ap
peared as a pathetic figure before trie
conference. He actually had Senator
McCormick issue a statemnt that the
President and not his secretary of
state inspired the course of the confer
ence but a few days later he was
compelled to make a humiliating con
fession that he did not know that his
own delegates interpreted the Four
Power treuty as including the island of
Japan proper .
Mr. Harding is the first president
who by his opposition, has given vi
tality to a farm bloc in his own r.arty
in Congress. With a Democratic
President and a Democratic Congress
a farm bloc is inconceivable.
Mr. Harding went to the Senate and
tried to get it to adjourn so as to put
to sleep one of the chief measures f
the farm bloc, the revival of the War
Finance Corporation and the extension
of credits to the farmers. He did put
the soldiers' bonus to sleep for montns
and is still fighting it. A farm bloc
would not last a week under a leader
ship like Roosevelt's. Wilson carried
the bloc in his pocket but with Hard
ing the farm bloc ha transferred the
leadership of the American people
from the White House to Congress.
The g-eat trouble With Mr. Harding
is that he has never given the Ameri
can people a single thrill or exalted
emotion sine he became President.
With his known opposition to many
of the measure of Congress, he hns
never had the nerve to write a veto.
The irreconcilable Senators now offer
him the bitter draught they sought in
vain U get Woodrow Wilson to drink.
They are demanding the practical an
nihilation of the Four Power treaty
and that hum torso In the White '
House is beginning to show some
light evidence that It Is supported by
a stalwarV spinal column. Let the
poor man not forget Andrew Jaclon
and G rover Cleveland tat In that same
