Revolution at Petrograd and All Ru* sia in a Ferment—Sxtrj Session Of U. S Congress in April— Tan Matters to the Fore - Flan for Departmental Reform# — Latin American Wsr

Haltod.

By E. F. CLIPSON. European affairs have taken another kaleidoscopic turn and a* usual Germany is the pivot of Interest, with the remainder of tbe world speculating a* to what form the next development* will assume. Occupation of the German towns of Dusseldorf. Duisburg and Ruhrotl in an attempt by the sllies to enforce compliance with the terms of reparation was accomplished quietly uud ao far no very spectacular result* have occurred. It 1* true the German ambassadors to London. Paris and Bruaels have tieen recalled to Berlin, but the more is not characterised as a severance of diplomatic relation*; rather. It is more In the nature -if protest calculated to have some effect upon the present situation or lu are negotiations. Such negotiations appear to he a probability after each side lias sized up Ihe other and determined about how far It is likely

to go.

Inasmuch as the ambassador* have teen more closely in touch with conditions In the allied countries titan the beads of the German government, their counsels arc needed at home at this time before Germany derides upon the ultimate degree o' bluff, of capitulation or of resistance which it shall employ. No warlike preparations have been reported from Germany and nothing revealing n toalesced plan of action among Gerraar leader*. «*mlnous quiet, seems to «ie*cribe the sltt! ation. with here and then- a flash ! possibly presaging future action by I on» or another of the many faction! j in the country. Labor, especially tin j radlral wing. Is expected to play 1 I prominent part and already there baa been talk of n general strike as s pr test, an immeoiate economic fart. | and a genera! bid for the syinpa;! , «.f workers in the allied countries nt

I elsewhere.

Ih • attempt to coerce labor—mobilize Is the word that ha^ been used—and make It a part of the property of the state along with good*, lands. «c_ lias strained the communist scheme to the breaking point. People all over the country are reported to be dcathlr rick of the plan and in a mood to try revolution, believing that any change must be an

Improvement.

Heretofore the strength of the la-nln and Trotzky government has existed In Its military eriabluhmi.it. Soldier* were fed and clothed even If other* starved and froze. This made military duty attractive and rendered a big. efficient army possible. The slgnlfieuni feat ere Of the present reohitlrm Is that It wa» started by so dli-rs and sailor*, the very fore, whlidi started and upheld the soviet

txperiment.

Tlie revolutionists seized the great fortres* of Kronstadt and several of th*- minor defense* of Petrograd. At this writing n struggle for the city It self lx on with the deciding fortune* still In doubt. Authentic new* l» meager, but enough has aveped through to indicate that the d!s:nrhatiiv I- not a merv fissh In the pan. The fact that the attack w .* started at the seat of government, tlint the city ha* been bombarded heavily and that wingulnary encounters have taken place tn Its stre.ts. also that the Red force* from other part; the country. Including tlie famed army of General Budenny, have been summoned to 1U defense. I* enough to indicate that the affair Is a termlned mo.-meut against tlie whole

aovlet regime.

After tlie usual formalities att odant upon the nomination and confirmation of cabinet bends and a few other Important official*, the new national admlnis’ration got under way with Its announced program of a get-togeth-er between the executive and legislative branches of the government. Thl* wt»< started by o dinner at the - • While House to the Republican lead- - era in the uenale and louse. Presl- > J dent Hard’ng announreu that he con « Templates culling an extra session of , the Sixty-seventh congress not later

i- than April 11.

The fart that peac with Ger- - many, tbe League of Nations U»d otht I er questions of foreign relations were

not touched npor. at the dinner, but that domestic reconstruction problems formed the bulk of the discussion, make* It a practical certainty that tlie latter will receive first consideration at the coming session. Tax revision seem., to have the rigid of way over oilier questions and after It comes tbe tariff, the problem tielng to le«*en burdens and at tbe same time provide adequate revenue*. If the excess profits tax repealed, economies In governmental expuiditure* will have to be instituted nod additional revenue from Import* aud perhaps other souicea will l« re-

quired.

President Harding has Intlmiitod that an emergency tariff may he pro po*ed. hut that final deposition of the teriff question will await tlie recommendations of a new tariff com mission to Ih- constituted along scien tifle linns. This commission is yet tc be appointed and its deliberations necessarily will be prolonged. *0 that the ultimate tariff bill ot this adminlstradoes not loom as a very near pos-

sibility.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon hti announced himself definitely foi economies and for the establishment of a national budget system, letter to the banks of the country be has declared that, while tbe figures the public debt and the current operations of the treasury shew that the finances of the government are In a sound position, the situation calls for the utmost economy. The iettet covers the financial rood!'..on In alderable detail and winds up with the .lalenient: "The people generally roust become more Interested in ing thr government's money than In spending 1L A thorough-going national budget system must be established and the government's expenses brought into reli'lon to Us income." Ever since E’lg. Gen. Charles G. Dawes announced himself so positively before a congressional committee on the subject of unbusinesslike methods in the national department!. and other matter*, there has been persistent talk that thl* admin Istration would take energetic action to reduce criticism In this respect. Accordingly the President has gone

over tentative plana with a Joint com , rclttee from house and senate now 1 bolding sessions In Washington. The I plans which While House advice* ■ stale are approved by the President. ; and will have the co-operation of tne 1 cabinet, call for a reorganization of | the executive departments to *y». i teinatize administration, eliminate -

duplication and reduce exper’e*. If the program goes "through it * 111 He

One of the proposed changes is a consolidation under one head of tbe W»r

and Navy department*.

One of the first artr of Presldi-m Harding was to thtow open thr White House gates to tlie public. And the public is reported to have availed Itself of the Invitation to the beautiful grounds to the extern that some came witii soap boxes on which to stand, while other* mounted the shou! ders of triends. In order to peer Into Ihe windows of tbe executive man sica. A serious question has sri'en •as to how the democratic privilege may be continued, the Whit< House rooms given nlr and sunshine and the occupants allowed a degree of privacy somewhat greater than that of a gold-

fish In * bowl.

An Indication of the attitude of President Harding and his adminiatra tion to matter* of turbulence among our Latln-American m Ighhor* wav pointedly brought out In strong note* dispatched by Secretary of Stsle Hughes which had the effect of Unit ing hostilities between Costa It ••* and Panama. Although couched In most courteous and dijilomaUc U.ngtiage. the notes in reality were the j eagle's acrei.m. warning the countries 1 that the territorial ttoundarie* of 1 Panama bad been fixed by a previous j arbitration award made hy Chief J u # j tlce White, and that they an- the conI .'•Tt. of thi* govemmeni which c* n j not regard forcible measure* hy either I party a* Justifiable.
