S. PROBLEMS Is Brought Into Intimate Con- tact With Leaders Here. By FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. | Elevation of Stanley Baldwin to the 8ritish premiership will bring to No. | un- | commonly, well fitted to deal with American problems. Ambassador Har- vey, to whom this writer communicated the news of Baldwin’s appointment, has | no hesitation in pronouncing it as un- doubtedly the best that could have been made. 1t is Col. Harvey's opinion that the appointment is the direct result of the new premier’s successful debt nego- tiations at Washington last winter. Baldwin is the Briton who has had the most recent, and in many respects, the most intimate contact with American statesmen that any British official has enjoved in later-day times. The con- servative leader to whom King George has offered the premiership of the em- pire headed the British debt-funding commission which began its operations at Washington on January $, of this year. For several weeks Baldwin wg in daily association with Secr, Hughes, Mellon and Hooxg Senator Smoot, Rep ton, and other impo; and congressional also in occasiona Prosident Hard} Upon all of at Washington Mr. Baldwin made the impression of an uncommonly frank, straightforward man of affairs. He outlined unequivocally what Britain could do, what she was prepared to | do, and what, eventually, she did do. | Urges Cordial AgTeement. He ended a convincing opening ad- dress to the debt commission in these terms: ¥ H “The cordial and prompt agreement of the two greatest democracies in the world on a.question of this in- tricacy and magnitude will be an example to the na..ns and 2 long step forward in effecting a solution of the economic troubles of Europe. Let us never forget that until these troubles are solved there can be no general revival of international trade. I look forward to our meetings with hope and confidence. I believe that I shall not-be disappointed.” Stanley Baldwin's rise to the pre- miership is one of the most meteoric careers in British history. Six years ago hardly a man in the street had ever heard his name. He was a suc- cessful figure in the steel and iron trade, a member of parliament for a Worcestershire division, a Cambridge University man, and a stalwart con- servative, but had made no impres- sion upon pubiic life. Lloyd George discovered him as a coalition ministry possibility in the midst of the war, and in 1917 made him financial secre- tary to the treasury. There he promptly demonstrated unusual tal- ents. It was mainly due to Baldwin that Britons were induced voluntarily to turn over to the hard-presscd treasury at a time when British cred- it abroad was at a low ebb all of their foreign securities, in order that credit operations might be strength- ened overseas. | Wants Party Rule. Althovgh brought 1into cabinet rlace by Lloyd George, it was Bald- win who was destined to be the main influence in overthrowing “the little Welshman” in October, 1922. He enginecred the conservative drive at the celebrated Carlton Club con- clave and paved the way for a “die- hard” conservative government un- «er Bonar La is an_irreconcilable conservative— what we in America would cell an cld guard stand-patter.

Nearly all were employed In government departments or works and lived on government rations. in { which very black bread, potato soup {of incredible nastiness and herring played a large part. The streets were in such a bad condition jthat to walk down them after dark iwas a perilous adventure. People First Doubted the Change. For more than three years all pri- vate enterprise had been forbidden and a rigid communism had been en- forced. Communism in practice had 1+ been 80 notortous an economic failure. however, that soon before my arrival i the government had largely aban- | doned it. Under the new economic policy (familiarly known as the “nep”) private enterprise was again allowed. The people could not be- lieve that the change was real. “They hoards in order to seize them,” they said. the trick of cheka.” The cheka are the dreaded political po- lice. Now we call them the “Gay- ' the state political depart- but change of name_ has not meant change of nature. We were all cold in those days, for fuel was very scarce.

There were con- stant inquisitions. ar purposes Daldwin insisted upon returning to party control and sponsibifity in Downing street parliamént. His sel cver Curzon may be regarded as a *agacious realization on the part of the crown that the present is noc a propitious hour in Britain for an eristocrat-premicr. Mr. Baldwin made a brilliant debut six weeks ago with his maiden bud- ®et as chancellor of the exchequer. dint of ruthless economies and shrewd reorganization of depart mental expenses he was able to elec- trify the country by reporting a wholly unexpected surplus of £100.- 000,000. Then he made a tremendous hit by recommending drastic tax re- {ductions, mainly on beer and incomes, which he found possible even while providing for the heavy annual pay- | s {were committed or as to things which | ment he had agreed to make on a count of the American debt A suc- budget is traditionally th symbol of a promising career for a new British chancellor of the ex- chequer. Baldwin's star was des fo be in the ascendant faster than he or his friends probably imagined. Friendly Toward U. §. Baldwin is certain to carry out the Lioyd George-Bonar Law policy of cordial relations with the United States, especially if Lord Curzon re- maing foreign secretary. A Curzon premiership would not have ap- proached American affairs with that | wholehearted sympathy that. it is felt in Washington, will mark Bald- win's leadership, vet Lord Curzon in February, in a public address at Lon- don, enunciated feelings of genuine friendship for the United St 1 see nothing myself,” he said, “that is in the least llkely to disturb our happy and friendly relations with the | great republic_across the ocean. and I look to our increasing co-operation in the future to provi key to many of the preblems with which we are faced. ‘Normaley” and “sanity.” it is pre- icted by men who had many con- lerences with Baldwin in Washing- ton, will distinguish his premiership. He is essentially a business man, Many Americans think he is much of the Charles M. Schwab type. He will be mainly constrained, at home and abroad, to get British business back to prosperous levels. That. it is pre- dicted, will contemplate cordial un- understanding with the United States at every possible point. (Copyright, 1923.) EARTHQUAKE IN WEST.
