MAY FORCE LEADERSHIP OF HARDING
Restlessness Throughout the Country Over Listless Work of Congress May Compel Assertion of Authority. ROLE IS "DISAGREEABLE BV MARK SII.I.IVAN WASHINGTON, D. C. June 22. There are strong signs that President Harding -will shortly assert a leadership of congress to an extent that is repugnant to his temperament, and not sympathetic to his beliefs about the separation between the executive and legislative branches of the government. If President Harding had been asked any time up to a few weeks ago whether he would ever exert pressure on congress to hasten a purely legislative function, his answer would probably have beene an emphatic no. , . But the atmosphere of Washington has universally come to regard congress as lacking ia leadership within itself and as unreasonably dilatory in the important matters of taxation and tariff. This is supplemented by reports of restlessness throughout the country. The two combined have caused President Harding to show .signs recently of a reluctant taking up of the leadership that congress lacks. Restricts Requests The president has restricted his requests to congress for action during the present session to two measures only, taxation and the tariff. Those two measures compose the administration programme for the present session. Mr. Harding undoubtedly would have preferred not to be compelled to go further than the original suggestion in his first message to congress. But the pressure on him both from business interests and from the party leaders throughout the country, and the pressure on him that is inherent in the sun, are such that he may shortly be expected to put his shoulder behind the program. Undoubtedly, that part of the country which is generally spoken of as "the business interests." expected that In putting the Republican party in power tney were taking a step which , cuia result in a prompt and capable transition from war time conditions to peace conditions. That this transition must be accompanied by some measures that will not be popular In the board sense must be taken for granted, but it was expected that the Republican party, backed by such a huge majority and with such comfortable margins in both house and senate as they had. would not lack the courage to grasp these problems boldly. Conditions Changed. The fact is, however, this is Jnst what the Republicans seem to lack. In tile present tax schedule, and in other respects we have statutory conditions created irf time of war. Arising out of it. the present system of taxation was designed, so to speak, to draft money, and was designed also to take from the private owners of business most of that unearned increment, which arose as an incident of war. This was right and proper, but when the conditions are reversed, and we are in a period not of inflation, but of deflation, the continued existence of a tax system conceived In this spirit works hardships to individuals, and ill fortune to the country. There are aspects of our present tax schedule which, as it has been expressed, act as an embargo on business. Transactions, which might otherwise be transferred and pass into useful activity are held, whether wisely or not, for a price which will enable the owner to pay the taxes, and still have a profit for himself. In some respects we are approximating the conditions of those eastern countries governed by the Turk, where the farmer, estimating the value of his crop and the portion of it that will be taken by the tax collector, decides it is not worth while to reap. Leadership Lacking But no Republican leader and no Republican group in congress seems to have arisen that has 'either the intense application or the intelligence to work out what is required, in order to change the conditions, and yet, at the same time get the revenue. No leader or no group has arisen that has the energy and industry necessary to put such changes through. That this condition has become known to the country, and has made the country restless, is the factor which now brings President Harding to the necessity disagreeble. to him of assuming leadership himself.

Plans for a banking institution similar to the federal reserve bank of the United States are being prepared by President Zayas and will be submitted soon to the Cuban congress. Details of the organi7ation are still unsettled, it was declared last night by Jose M. Cartina. secretary to the president and chief of the cabinet, but he indicated the institution would be a combination of Cuban and American banks subject to governmental intervention anil control. The necessary connections with American commercial interests will be established, he said. Senor Cortina added that a loan, if one should be floated by the Cubau government, would not necessarily be connected with the proposed bank. He asserted that such a loan probably would be for forty million dollais.

Gompers supporters were claiming the railroad carmen, railway clerks, NEGRO BETTERMENT IS HOPE OF HARDING (By Associated Press) NEW YORK. June 22. President Harding, in a letter to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, made public today. said he planned to proceed as early as possible to study the race question, with a view to ameliorating the treatment accorded to negroes, as outlined in his message to congress. "I feel strongly," he added, "that there is opportunity for accomplishment of great and lasting good and that whatever measures will enlist the co-operation of intelligent and broad leaders of both races will serve the most useful purpose. "As evidence of the increasing and gratifying interest throughout the country in this entire set of problems, I am glad to be able to tell you fhat since the delivery of the address to congress on April 12, a great number of commendatory communications have come to me, indicating that in all sections and among all classes and races there is a deep desire for achievement along these lines." The president expressed his good wishes for the success of the twelfth annual convention of the ass; iiation, which opens at Detroit, June 25.

Watching Vote The amlagamated association of iron, steel and tin workers and the mine, mill and smelter workers, have been definitely placed in the Lewis column. The Gompers boosters declared that they were sure of at least thirty thousand votes, nearly ten thousand more than needed to win. Labor leaders who were watching closely the vote maneuvring, declared that the contest may be so close that the 214 votes of the state central todies, trade and federal labor unions and fraternal organizations may decide the winner.

SAYS CHINA MINISTER (By Associated Press) PEKING, June 22. China believes there is no occasion for opening negotiations with Japan relative to the restoration to China of the Shantung peninsula, and regards with suspicion Japan's suggestions in this direction. This is the view of Dr. W. W. Yen, Chinese minister of foreign affairs, who has given the Associated Press a statement of this country's position in the Shantung controversy He as 1 serted that in the past China had al-j ways lost territory or prestige as a result of negotiations over interna t-; ional questions. "If Japan intends unconditionally to restore the German leased territory in Shantung and inalienable rights and privileges formerly enjoyed by Germany," he declared, "she should announce that fact to the world in unequivocal terms. If she proposes to make conditions for restitution, she should likewise frankly announce those terms for all nations to nounce judgment upon them. pro - "China does not wr.nt an empty res toration, but wishes to know in ad vance what restoration is meant what Japan proposes to do with all public buildings, docks, railways, ter minals and mines the property seized by Japan since her occupation by forced sale, the salt industry, and the revenue from the railroads collected by Japan during her occupation. Let Japan go on record as to what she intends to do with these and other questions, and there will be no need for negotiations." Seven I. W.

3S BACK TO EXPLAIN SPEECH .... T ZT. c Admiral Is rll'St 10 SltD Ashore ,Thousand Bluecoats Present To Preserve Order Maintains Silence. EE MS UNCONCERNED '(By Associated Press1 NEW YORK. June 22. Rear Admirlal -Sims returned home today to exPlain to secretary uenay reuiiiM attributed to him in his recent London speech on Irish Americans. Refusing to be taken ashore by a cutter- he came UP ihe aboard th liner Olympic to meet friends or foes, who might be awaiting him near the pier. . Everything wjus peaceful when the veteran sea dog landed. A thousand bluecoats were massed on the dock to preserve order. Indeed, they were so numerous that, with wharf workers and passengers, it would have been difficult for many other persons to have found foothold on the pier. Police lines were drawn several blocks north and south of the pier entrance. Not even when Woodrow Wilson returned Irom tne peace conference were more tnorougn preparations made. - First to Step Ashore. The admiral was the first person to step ashore. He entered an elevator a few feet from the end of the gangplank and descended to the main floor of the pier, where he stepped into an automobile with Rear Admiral Huse, commandant of the third naval district. Flanked by police, he rode away, aninouncing he would take the first train for Washington. There was scarcely any one on the pier. From the handful of persons who had gathered there came neither sheers nor taunts. Among those who met the admiral was his brother. On the trip from quarantine, the admiral maintained strict silence, declining to make any statement before reporting to the secretary of the navy. Chats With Reporters. The admiral was dressed in mufti. Indeed, during the voyage, he wore his uniform only at dinner. Mrs. Sims accompanied him home. He chatted with newspaper men on the way up from quarantine and seemed in the best of humor. On her way to the pier, the Oympic passed a sound steamer, who:?e passengers lined the rail. Across the stretch came the sound of cheers for Sims. The admiral told newspapermen tha cable message from Secretary Denby, had been greatly delayed. Shown cartoons of himself, the admiral smile.l and said he might have something 1o say later. He said that after going to Washington, he expected to return 0 pori. . - -K- t 1 iiere waj no demonstration outsia? the pier, nor on the way to the Pennsylvania station, where only a handfull of persons were gathered. Cheers and Boos. At the station, however there were a few boos and cheers, and one woman was seen parading with a bajincr bearing a picture of a jackass apropos of the reference to jackasses reported to have been made by Admiral Sims in his London speech. The woman was not troubled by the police. The admiral just missed one train for Washington, and with Mrs. Sims, entered an office to wait for the next Washington express, scheduled to leave at 11 :03. There had been reports that sympathizers and critics would organize rival organizations to steam down th-? bay to meet the Olympic, but except for the regular government craft, and a police boat, the giant liner had the narrows to herself.
