GDRGRESS WORKS TO CURRY DUI MIJIK PUS Legislation tc Satlsfy Farm Bloc Will Start in Both Houses. TAX BILLS IMPORTANT Prohibition Measures Will Wait Until Aster Conference With Governors. By United Preti WASHINGTON. Dee. B.—Congress today took initial steps to carry out thè legislative program outUned yesterday by Presldent Harding, although it is realized all thè recommendatione cannot be enacted thls sesslon. As a result thè legislative actJon of thè Presldent may be summarlzed as follows: Taxation—The House Ways and Means Commlttee will ask thè House next week to sandwich between appro priation bllls resolutlons for amendtng thè Constitutlon to prohlblt taxexempt securltles. Anderson Bill Is Basi Rural Credlts —In both houses, thè Agrlculture and Banking and Currency Commlttees will tackle a mass of legislation and try to whip lnto eh ape a bill that will satlsfy thè farm bloc and thè Adminletratlon. In thè House, thè Anderson bill, creating a farm credits department, with $5,000.000 capitai In each Federai reserve bank, probably will be thè baais of coramittee work. Rallroads —The Presidente recommendation for abolition of thè railroad labor board and his other sugeested legislative reforms in thè transportatlon l&w will be considered by thè House and Senate Interstate Commerce Commlttees at meeting to be held within a few days. If Mr. Hardir.g's recommendations for a merger of thè rallroads lnto a few big Systems. and for legislation to prevent strikes are lnsisted upon, there can be no railroad legislation at thls session. Consider Immigratìon Immigratlon The Senate and House Immigratlon Committees will meet thè coming week. Whlle immigratlon is considered too large a question for satisfactory solution In thè hustle of a short session. there will be much discussion of lt. Mr. Harding's 6Uggestion for registration of aliens would requlre treatles and Is inadvisable In thè opinion of some House leader. Child Labor —The House Judiciary Committee probably will present a resolution amending thè Constitutlon, giving Congress power to prevent child labor. Prohibition —The Presidente denunciation of vioiators of thè Volstead act and thè eighteenth amendment was expected to result in new legislative suggestione for enforcement. Leaders, however, said Congress was not called on at thls time to do anything about prohibition. Aster thè Presidente conference with thè Governors some legislative steps may be taken.

CHARCE OH HATE DISCIIHTION As a part of thè State-wide fight put up by thè Indiana State Chamber of Commerce to obtaln lower freight rates on Petroleum and allied Products, forces in South Bend, Terre Haute and Evansville have been organized by George H. managing director of thè chamber, and R. B Coapstick. manager of thè freight and trafile department. The big users of petroleum produets and allied Products are eooperating with thè chamber in a fìght to equalize thè freight rates. The petroleum case will be tried before thè Interstate Commerce Commission here, probably next month, according to Coapstick. Briefs are being prepared by thè Chambers of Commerce in thè Indiana town, which show- that Indiana consumare pay from S6B to SIOB a car more freight than cities an equal distance from thè mid-continental oli flelds, which lie West of thè Indiana-Illinois State line. Mr. Mosser, in discussine thè problem today. said that thè Petroleum }s carried over thè sanie roads, often on thè same trains with petroleum transported to other cities at a cheaper rate.

MORE ON LLOYB EEDRGE’S ARTICLE (Continned From Page 1) that had no effect ón thè Rhenian sehool of French politica. This sehool is as powerful as ever. In one respect, it is more powerful, for in 1919, there was a statesman at thè head of affaira who had thè strength as well as thè sagacity to resist their illjudged claim. “When It Comes to End” But what about 1922?, Where is thè foresight and where is thè strength? There is a reai danger that thè fifteen years’ occupation may on one pretext or another be indefìnitely prolonged. When it comes to an end, will there be a ministry in Franco strong enougli to withdraw thè troops?

Before tha fifteen years’ occupation is terminated, will there be a ministry or a series of ministries strong enough to resist thè demand put forward without cessation in thè French press that thè occupation should be made effective? Upon thè answer of these questions, thè peace of Europe, thè peace of thè World, perhaps thè lise of our civilization, depend. The pressure to do thè evil thing that will once more spili rivers of human blood is insistent. The temptniion is grow-ing. The reslstance is getting feebler. “Against Any Nation” America and Britain standing together can alone avert thè catastrophe. But they can only do so by making it clear that thè aggressor—whoever lt may be —will have thè invincible might of these two commonwealths arraved against any nation that threatens to embroil thè world in another conflict. There are men in Germany who preach revenge. They must be told that a war of revenge will And thè seme allies side by side inflietlng punishment on thè peace breakers. There are men in France who counsei annexation of territories popuiated hy another race. They must be warned that such a step will allenate thè sympathies of Britain and America and that when thè inevitable war of liberation comfs, thè sympathles of America and Britain will be openly ranged on thè side of those who are Aghting for national freedorn. The time has come fcr saying these thmgs, and if they are not said in high places, humanity will one day cali those who occupy those places to thè reekonlng. G uar&ntees To France The pact. giving guarantees to France against possibility of German aggression, was designed to strengthen thè hand of M. Clemenceau against thè aggressive party which w*rs then and stili is anxious to comm t France to thè colossal error of annexing territory which has always been purely German. M. Clemenceau knows fu il well that Britain has beer. ready at ; any time durìng thè last three years, up to a few months ago. to take upon nerself thè burden of that pact, with i or without thè United States of Ameri- • ca. At Cannes, early this year, I made a deAnite proposai to that effect. It was a written offer made by me on behalf of thè British government to M. Briand. who was then Prime Mintster of France. I was anxious to seoure thè cooperation of France in a generai endeayor to clear up thè European situation and'estàblish reai peace from tne Urals to*the Atlantic seaboard. French suspicions and French apprehensions constituted a serious difficulty in thè way of settlement and I thought that if it wero made clear to France that thè whole strength of thè British Empire could be depended upon to come to her aid, in event of threatened lnvasion, French opinion would be In a better mood to dlscuss thè outstanding questions which agitate Europe.

a towering position on thè continent of Europe, in a condition of fretfulness, it was impossible to settle Europe. Hence, thè offer which was made by thè British govemment. M. Briand was prepared to welcome this offer and to proceed to a cairn *consideration of thè perplexities of thè European situation. It was agreed to summon a conference at Genoa to dis cuss t£e condition of European exchange, credit and trade. It was also resolved that an effort should be made to establish peace with Russia and to bring that great country once more inside thè community of nations. A great start was made on thè path of genuine appeasement The German govemment was tnvited to send ite chief minlster to thè Cannes conference in order to arrivo at a workable settlement of thè vexing question of reparations. The invitation rcceived prompt responso and Dr. Rathenau, accompanied by two or three leading ministers and a retlnue of Anancia! experts, reaehed Cannes in time to take part in thè discussion. The negotiations were proceeding helpfully and another week might have produced resulta which would have paciAed thè tumult of suspiclous nations and inaugurated thè promise of fraternity. “Satan Is Not Done” But. alas, Satan is not done with Europe. A ministerial crlsls In France brought our hopes tumbling to thè ground. The conference was broken up on thè threshoid of fulAHment. Suspioion once more selzed thè tiller and Europe, Just as lt seemed to be entering thè harbor of good will, was rwung back violently lnto thè broken sens of International distrust. The offer made by Britain to stand alone on thè pact of guarantee to France was rejected with disdain. We were told quite rudely that lt was of no use without mlil'ary convention. This we declined to enter into. Europe has suffered too much from military conventions to warrant repetltion of such a disastrous experirnent. The pact with Britain iies for thè moment in thè wastepaper basket. But wo never Aung lt there. M. Clemenceau ought to have made his compialnt In Paris against men of his own race and not in New York against Englishmen. With thè pact went thè effort to make peace in Europe. The history of Genoa is too recent to require any recapltulation of its features, The new French minia* try did not play thè part of an invltlng govemment responsible for pressing to a uccessful end thè ohjccts of thè Cannes conference, but. rathor that of thè captiouf, critic, who had to be per suaded nlong every inch of thè road and Who threatened at every obstaole to ttirn back and 1-mvn thè rest of Europe to struggle along with its burden amid thè mocklng laughter of France.

by a dispatch from Paris. I am credibly informed that he received 800 of these Communications in thè course of thè conference! What' could thè poor man do under such bewilderlng conditlons? The other European countries were perplexed and distracted. They were anxious that Genoa should end in a stato of peace. Thero was no doubt about sincerity—thè passionate sincerity of a desire for peace throughout Europe, but thè European nations could not help seeing that one of thè great powers was working for a failure. They had a naturai anxiety not to appear to take sides. It is a inarvel that in spite of this unfortunate attitude adopted by thè French government that a pact was signed which has. at any rate, preserved thè peace in eastern Europe for several months Before thè conference we had heard of armies being strengthened along frontiers and movements of troops with a menacing intent from thè Balde to thè Black Sea. Genoa, at least, dispelled that cloud. But a permanent peace has not yet been established and thè pact with Russia will soon expire. I axn. how ever, hopeful that thè spirit of Genoa will stand between thè contending ar mies and prevent thè clash of swords. Reason More Sinister All this. however, is leading me away from an examination of M. Clemenceau’* suggestion that Britain did not keep faith in thè matter of guaranteelng France against German aggression. The offer was deAnitely renewed at Cannes and M. Poincaré has not accepted it. I have my own opinion as to why he has not done so. It la not merely that he doos not wish to set thè seal of bis approvai upon a predecessori achlevement. I am afraid thè reason ls of a more sinister kind. If France aceep'ts Britaln’s guarantee of defense of her frontier. every excuse for annexing thè left bank of thè Rhino disappears. If this is thè explanation, if thè French ministers have made up their mlnda that under no conditlons will they even at thè end of thè perlod of occupation withdraw from thè Rhine, then a new chapter opens In thè history of Europe and thè world with a climax of horror such as mankind has never yet witnessed. The German provinces of thè left bank of thè Rhine are intensely German in race, language, tradition and sympathles. There are seventy milllons of Germans in Europe. A generation hence, there may be a hundrod millions. They will never rest oontent as long as milllons ot their fellow eountrymen are under a foreign yolk on thè other side of thè Rhine and it will oniy be a question of timo and opportuntty for thè inevitable war of liberatior. to begin. We know what thè last war was

Is it too much to ask that America should in time take an effective interest in thè deveiopment along thè Rhine? To that extent. I am in complete accord with M. Clemenceau. Neither Britain nor America can afford to ignore thè mar.eouvres going on along its hanks. lt is a far cry from thè Rhine to thè Mississippi, but not so far sta lt used to be. There are now graves not far from thè Rhine wherein lies thè dust of men who less than six years ago carne from thè banks of thè Mississippi. MANAGER OF RIVERSIDE GOLF COURSE IS DEAD Ethvin C.

SIX POLICE DIE IN TWDMDNTHS Pension Fund Reaches $200,000 Through Rewards, Dues. Six members of thè Indianapolis polle© department have died since Oct. 12, records of Lleut. Samuel Gaddis, secretary of thè police pension fund, showed today. They were Mrs. Mamie Shelton, colored, policewoman; Patrolman Peter Tepoff, William WhitAeld, colored; Michael Raftery and Robert Kinsey and Detective Henry Askins. Wives of Ave policemen have died since Aug. 14. There are 133 dependents of dead policemen on thè pension pay roll, which totaled $4,641 last month. The pension fund is kept up by taxation, rewards received by thè police department for captures of criminal and recovery of stolen property and assessment of each member $1.25 a month. Income exceeds thè annual expense and thè fund, now over $200,000, is gradually being buiit to a point where interest, rewards and assessment will be sufficient to warrant elimination of thè tax levy. Receipts from rewards have dropped materially this year because thè State automobile police have been getting most of thè fees for recovering stolen motor cars. Gaddis said.
