WASHINGTON, D. C. WEDNESDAY. ... March 23, 1921 THEODORE W. NOYES. .. .Editor the eity Daily and Sund: Daily only . Gen. Wood. On the eve of his departure for the Philippines, where he will investigate conditions with the ‘view of reporting upen the preparedness of the nativ for seif-government, Gen. Leonard Wood has been chosen head of the University of Pennsylvania. His ac- ceptance of the post is regarded as certain. It is a post of great opportunity and responsibility, and Gen. Wood should fll it well. Like Theodore Roosevelt, whose intimate friend he was, he makes a strong appeal to young men. He has the purpose and the energy they admire. The Plattsburgh train- ing camp was his idea; and young men flocked there in numbers to qualify for Army duty as officers. Educated for the'medical profession, and successful in that; turning his attention then to the military pro- fession, and successful in that, Gen Wood may be expected to show in the new field of activitysan equal degree of enterprise and adaptability. He is tn the prime of life, widely known, and, wherever known, applauded and trusted. ‘When first announced, the Philip- pine mission was coupled with a sug- gestion and a hope that Gen. Wood would succeed Francis Burton Harri- sen as. governor general of the archi- pelago. His qualifications_ for. the of- fice were sq congpicuous, and the im- portance of the place so generally recognized. he seemed the ideal man for the appointment. And then there was_satisfaction in the thought thet' so0 capable @ man would thus be em- ployed in the public service at a ‘time ‘when the country needs the services of the best men available. ‘The private post, however, seems to have madé the stronger appeal to the general, and he will go to it. The couptry will wish him success in it. The President and Factionism. The President, it is reported, will refyse to take sides in any faction row in any state. He wants his party friends to settie their differences be- | fore coming to him, and especially about patronage. His purpose is to distribute the offices at_his command fairly and on a party basis, and for that resson be asks that agreements be reached as to the merits of those applying for recognition. ¥ He should insist upon this. Now is the time to settle factionism where it exists, or discourage it where it as yet but threatens. Next year is a highly important one for the party in power. A new Congress will be in the scale; and the record made at the coming special session and at the first regular session to follow will be the issye. If possible, the republicans must carry the “election, both as re- speets legislation to be enacted on the eve of the next presidential contest,! and the contest itself. ‘We may expect.more or less fac-| tionism, not onlx in the south, where patronage has always been a trouble- breeder, hut elsewhere, The republican victery last year was complete and overwhelming. Everything was swept into the party’s sack. Hence, there is & large amount of stuff to be di- vided. * §uek a condition of things creates & strong appetite.

Silesian Subdivision Proposed. [ A dispute is rising over the question | of whether the Silesian plebiscite should be determined on the basis of | the tetal vote cast in the province or the votes in the separate communes or districts.

Germany is playing the usual game, delay, dispute and denial, in the mat- ter of the reparations. The Berlin point-blank refusal to the allied com-| mission’s ultimatum to pay a billion marks in gold due today with a bal- ance of twelve billions on the 1st of May. It maintains that the full amount of twenty billions provided for by the peace treaty, to be paid by May 1, has been more than paid, and it*asks that a' joint commission of deliveries on reparation account. Then it adds the whine that usually accom- panies a German bluff: “It will be in any event impossible for Germany to pay twelve billion marks by the 1st of May.” This is the old, old practice of dis- puting the sccount. Many a debtor | has done this and some of them have sot away with it. Will Germany do so? Obviously Germany’s plan is to stall a8 long as possible. She is not going to ‘give up a dollar more than she can_avold raying. She §s going to concentrate all of hér means in her|character. It allows no playtime to the | own rehabilitation to gain as soon as can be a commanding commercial posi- tion in the world.

Asphalt From the Gulf. | An_extraordinary phenomenon has occurred on the Texas coast which indicates a disruption of the surface of the earth at some point near or on the shores of the Gulf of Megxico. Along ten miles of .beach blanket-like strips of native asphalt, from twenty- five to fifty feet in length and vary- ing in thickness up to several feet, have been cast by the waves upon the shore. When first noted the as- phalt was at a fairly high temperml ture, indicating that though it had been in the sea it had been only re- cently wrenched or ejected from its It appears from' recollections of the oldest inhabitants that long ago, before the discovery of the Tampico oil fields, a similar phenomenon oc- curred. It is now believed that this asphalt comes from a submarine| source, that there is somewherc at| the bottom of the gulf a large deposit | of bitumen similar to that in Trinidad, and that through some convylsion, an earthquake, perhaps, thie materialhes been forced out of its bed and through the waters to the shore by wave ac- tion. The Island of Trinidad is so fa? away from the Texan shore that; this material could hardly come from' there, and a nearer source is there-| fore sought. If there is a large sub- marine deposit near the Texan coast inventive geniuses will probably set to work to find a means of mining it. ——— Occasionally a divorce suit takes place in which the sensational pub- licity is of no value whatever for artistic or commercial purposes. ————— Trotsky's obscure literary style makes it easier for him to vary his propaganda to keep up with Lenin's changes of policy ————— H The American farmer is not only a student of agriculture, but also of railway rates, banking systems and | the tariff.

When the Interchurch World Move- ment attacked the unsatisfsetory condi- tions in the steel industry, Judge Gary, {chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, had nothing to say in reply. Now, after a lapse of several months, he announces changes which mark the end of the worst of those conditions, and the American press regards the new policy as the result of the agitation which the interchurch report started. The aboli- tion of the seven-day week and the twenty-four hour “turn” when shifts change, and the promise of an eight- hour day instead of twelve, as at pres- ent, are greeted almost universally in editorial columns ax a “welcome sign of progress,” the New York Globe (inde- | pendent) phrases it. Most Americans, according to the Bos- {ton Herald (indepcndent _republican) “had no idea that many thousands of workers labored every day in the week twelve hours a day and endured jone day of twenty-four hours twice a month until the interchurch report on the steel strike challenged public at- . tention.” Since then, the Sioux City ‘Tribune (independent) finds “public opinion has beat upon the Steel Cor- poration” so forcibly as to cause it “to feel most uncomfortable” and to institute reforms. But the Rocky Mountain News (Denver, independent) points out, as do several other papers, that the action now | taken is merely carrying out a program |approved nine years ago, and while coming at this time “it is the most ef- | fective kind of answer” to the “recent | criticisms of the nited States Steel Cor- | poration, still “it should be recognized that it comes now as the result of a de- cision reached long before these criti- | cisms made their appearance.” But “whatever the influences which have wrought these changes in the big Steel Corporation’s working poli- cies,” the New York American (inde- {hailed with satisfaction,” because “it {is a pleasant thing to see a great corporation like United States Steel using part of its profits to maintain the wages and reduce the working hours of its employes.” It is grati- fying to the Buffalo News (republi- can) from another point of view, as a_ demonstration that ‘corporations of whatever kind are coming more and more to regard public opinion, and to seek its approval,” and as “conclusive evidence” that “big busi- ness has done more of itself to put its house in order than ever the law could make it do.” As a number of writers point out, the change is peculiarly timely. The Cléveland Plain Dealer (independent democratic) notes that ‘“there is no emergency demanding capacity out- put. The steel industry is operating on a part-time basis, and labor is plentiful. The time would appear to be most favorable for putting into operation the new time schedule. The New York World (democratic) adds: “To accommodate the new workers alone may involve $80.000,000 or $100,000,000 in housing plans. Thus the change may take up the slack of unemployment “not only directly in the steel trade, but in the building trades. In the end, like most cases of shortcned hours, it will no doubt prove consistent with heightened economy.” An even brighter prediction is found in the Rockford (Il.) Star (in dependent), which feels that “a bet- ter America in every way will be ex- pected from the more humane re- gime,” and it bases its faith on_ the theory that ‘“under the eight-hour day and six-day week there will be no excuse for loafing on the job, for anything else than hard, sober, pro- ductive work. And after work there will be no excuse for the sodden surroundings used to be regarded by overfatigued workers.” However, the Indianapolis Star (in- dependent republican) asserts that “the facts have not sustained this idea.” which, it says, it always ad- vanced in_arguing for the shi workday. Fyrther, it maintains, satisfaction "with the long hours seems to be less active” among the workers affected ‘‘than the public has been led to belleve.” This belief finds support in the heart of the steel industry in the opinion expressed by the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times (re- {publican) that the new policy “may be acclaimed less enthusiastically by the men directly affected than by those outside the business who have To this the Minnesota Star (Min- ineapolis, Ind.) replies that “this is fan argument for higher wages, and not for the retention of the twelve- |hour day.” Even as “the undésir- ability of the twelve-hour day from the physical, moral or social point of view needs no argument,” the Spring- field Republican (independent) feels that there should be 110 questfon “that labor should receive pay sufficient for maintaining a suitable standard of living” even under a reduced work- ing day. and that “the steel industry —or the public which supports it—is avle to provide the pay.” e day never, was neces. ‘ork Globe (independ- ‘even though it became " and “In other lands the old system has been rejected-almost unanimously.” One of the most important factors of the new pelicy, as the New York Evening Post (independent) sees it, lies in the force of the example set. The United States Is Waking Up. Less than a fortnight has passed since President Harding assumed of- fice, and, although neither in his inau- gural address. nor since has he said anything of special importance, yet the country seems to have.been elec- trified from somre cause. The change that occurred two weeks ago at Washington might, perhaps, be de- Iucrib«-d in another way and more sig- fificantly by saying that Mr. Wilson retired from office and the republican party came into power. While the new President has nejther said nor dome anything of moment during the past thirteen days, ‘vet the { American people are acting as if he had given them a new leadership for which they had been eagerly waiting. A strikiog change has taken place in the tone of most of the leading Ameri- can-newspapers in the past-ten days in reference to America’s relation to world affairs: They assume that the United States will stand by the na- tions that were her allies in the war, and that the Germans are. wasting crocodile tears and possum tricks in tyying to befool America. The sugges- tion .that the United States should make a separate peace with Germany is today being scoffed at as so much German propaganda, In @ fortnight the United States seems to have gone far toward find- ing her feet and making up her mind, which. for two years and a half: she seemed. unable to do.—Toronto &ta lon, i sars ago it was “Germany A few Over AlL” Now -t is about all over' with rmany.~—Vancouver (B’ C.)
