GILRKRT Stutt" Corrrsnondent of the llrpnlnc I'abllo ladder Washlnston, Jan. 5. Congress re sumes today under the. spell ot politics. In n few months the national party conventions will be held. Tn a few weeks primaries will .begin. In a few days the Jackson dinner will take place, when several men will file claims to the possession of the Democratic party. The Senate is full of candidates for the presidency in both parties. They prick up their enrs every time n politi cal pin drops. They will grow more nervous, more cautious, more watchful every moment as preconvention politics develops. Ordinarily the session of Congress just preceding the party conventions is i do nothing session. Congress pastes the appropriations, talks much, with an eye on the election, avoids action iu all dis putations subjects which bv-any btrctch of the imagination would cost votes, enacts only such legislation as is harm less or unavoidable and then adjourns. This session will be no exception. In the class of unavoidable- matters is the question of peace with Germany and the fiuestion of the railroads. Neither party wants to enter the national campaign with its record on the treuty what it is today. And the railroads have to be returned to their owners March 1. So railroad legislation is certain. Something will happen on the treaty ; no cue knows what the appropriation bills will be when passed. Reform of taxation will be avoided. The majority party would rather that responsibility for taxation should ie't wheic it is. Public Resents Tariff Changes It is almost a truism that no party has revised the tariff, for example, and continued in power in the next elec tion. The taxpayer is always sensitive about new taxes. He becomes used to the old ones. So an old tax, though bad, is politically less dangerous than a new tax, though good. Siinilnily of the nrmv. Congress, especially the part of it which will come up for ve-electiou nevt fall, will flee from the nriny. The Senate favors or nt any rate, its committee on military affairs favors compulsory military training. The House shivers at the thought of going before the voters just after passing n compulsory training bill. No army legislation is likelj. The sarfle argument applies to labor legislation. Labor proposals resolve around the nnti-strikc provision of -the Senate railroad bill. The House is afraid of laws putting restraints upon organized labor. As there nre two months before the railroads have to go back to private ownership, much time will be spent '" talking back and forth between the Senate, which feels safe to defy labor from the trenches of its six-year term, and the House, which is out. in the po litical "no man's land" of a national campaign and which does not want to draw labor inachinc-gun fire. Three Topics lo bo Avoided Labor, compulsory training and re formed taxes, probably putting heavier burdens on the smaller income taxpaj cis, arc the big avoidable topics for legislation. They will be avoided by a politically minded Congress. The treaty situation docs not change. It only seems to change. A man exceedingly well informed on all the politics of this problem, who is u friend of tbe treaty, recently made an inquiry as to treaty prospects aim reached the conclusion thnt it might bo two months before any compromise would bo reached. And it may cnsily be that long. The trouble is that the principals in the trcatj fight do not meet and bargain. Uach is on his dignity. Knelt is waiting tor the other to make the first move, like two little girls who have quarreled nud each of whom snvs "she must speak to mo first." Air. Wilson lias no compromise to suggest, neither has Mr. Lodge. Mr. Hitchcock is apparently civ busy about compromises, but only ap parcntly. He must make a show of working to settle the whole question because, if he does not, his following may slip away from him and into the bands of Senator Underwood. The leadership In a measure turns upon the treaty tight. Hitchcock Must Keep Up Rluff Mr. Hitchcock must appear to be suc ceeding in order to win the leadership, nt least he must seem to be conducting negotiations which hold out the prospect of .such. The trouble is that, not knowing where Mr. Wilson Mauds and not wishing to be left out on a limb bv the President i ejecting his proposed com promise, Hitchcock is forced to nsk rather harder terms of the Republicans that he might ask if he knew that the President was willing to compromise. Atld th( Itpnillllip.'ltict l.-nnwInrT AT.. Hitchcock's predicament, refnsn In tnkr of commodities because foreign trade, in tho last analysis, Is only an exchange ot commodities. Warns Against Will-o'-(lio-wlsp "I hear echoes of n desire to re establish protection for American in dustries. Arc we not listening to n false suggestion ? Has not the time come when the resources of the United States nre to be found in the greatest shipments of raw material nnd manu factured goods and the greatest im portation of foreign goods which wo can consume?" The latest figures on the balance of trade furnish tho argument. For eleven months of this year there was n trade balance of S.'!,500,000,00() in favor of the United States against the rest of the world. Refore the war our biggest trade balance was 0(10,000,000 in 1D0S. At thnt time America was n debtor nation and our interest pnmcnts in Europe went far to cancel this bal unco. Now wc nre a creditor nation. In addition to the trade balance Kuropc owes us each 3 ear SSOfJ.OOO.OOO inter est. At that 'rate wo would soon drain the wholo woild of wealth. The depreciated foreign exchange is another symptom. Ilvon Canadian money is now selling In this country at ninety cents on a dollar. American business men sec that this country must buy in Hurope in order that Luropo may continue to buy here. And that thought makes the Repub licans pause.
