Tho fate of the Rdmonds daylight saving bill to give nn extra hour of daylight from the sec ond Sunday In April to the second Sun day In September will be decided to night In the House. The bill Is on n special order for final consideration. If the measure can muster enough votes to pass the House its sponsors arc confident they can get It through the Senate. The hard fight will be in the House nnd there is a strong belief tho bill will bo defeated in the lower branch to ap pease the farm Interests. Members representing the agricul tural districts have organized opposi tion, and from the standpoint ot the fnrmers, defeat of the proposal is about the most Important thing the present Legislature can accomplish. Kvery member of the House from a farming district xvlll voto ngninst the bill and there is a strong suspicion that some of the members from the smaller cities nnd towns mny vote to defeat It. Pittsburgh .loins In Support While the inhabitants of virtually every city nnd town want daylight sav ing the only organized effort In its bo half so far has come from Philadelphia. Strong support for the bill, however, developed Saturdny in Pittsburgh. Toilers In the big steel mills became so nctlvc in behalf of the bill that the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, is sued a general coll to the people of Pittsburgh nnd residents of the two third-class cities nnd the seventy odd boroughs In Allegheny county to urge the twenty-four members to vote for the bill. Similar ngitntions are understood to have been started in other cities, but whether the stato-xvide organized move ment for daylight Having started too late will bo seen tonight. Probably no member of the House Is placed in such an embarrassing sit uation on the Kdmondfl bill as Repre sentative Dunn, Philadelphia. Ifiinn represents the only farming district III the city of Philadelphia, the little strip of farmland up in the northeast. One Philadelphia Section Divided All the farmers in Philadelphia county live in that strip, and not so far distant from it and also in the same district arc the big mills of Frankfnrd, employing thousands of people. The mill workers want daylight saving, but the liuitlcton farmers do not. "There is only one thing that can bo doue," said Dunn. "I want to please my constituents. The only way I can And out who is in the majority In my district is to put daylight saving up to a referendum of the people." If tho Kdmonds bill is defeated the daylight saving advocates still have re course to the Daxx'son local option bill, That would leave it optional xvith the cities to determine whether they xvant to enact local daylight saving ordi nances. Hoard Urges Po-ssage Passage of the daylight measure is urged by the Philadelphia Hoard of Trade as being "for the health and happiness of 400,000 craftsmen of Philadelphia, 'The Workshop of the World.' " Tho board, in appealing for the bill's passage, declares the demand is echoed by 2,000,000 xvorkers In tho 22,000 industrial establishments in Pennsylvania. Copies of the appeal were sent here to members of the Leg islature. Discussing the conditions in reference to pending state' legislation. W. 11. Tucker, secretory of the Hoard of Trade, said : 'It is upon humani tarian ground that the Hoard of Trade aud other organizations in close touch with urban social problems are support ing the Kdmonds bill. Conferences to date convince mo that the real opposi tion arises in the agricultural districts because of the rail transportation prob. lems involved. "If tho farmer is disposed to co operate with hU city brother, I feel sure that the railroads will ndjifst train time for the movements of dairy and farm products to suit the convenience of the agricultural districts concerned." France Sets Clocks Ahead Paris, March 14. (P.y A. P. i France xvlll enter upon summer time at midnight tonight, when the clocks will be advanced one hour until October IB.

GILBERT tnn" Correspondent Kvfnlnc Pnbllc Idefr Copirltf.Sf. tmt, hv PuhUt r.ritoer Co. Washington. Mnrch 14. The policy of cotirentrnthig the American fleet In the Pdclllc ocean, which has been dis cussed In the cnblnet. Is the outward evidence of the vigorous foreign policy of the new administration. This mnl lllzntlnn of the fleet, xvhlch is almost sure to take place, is not a naval policy. It does not mean the Navy Department regards the presence of nil our warships In the Pacific ns necessary for the de fense of the country. It Is primarily a foreign-policy move. It is related to the sending of General Wood to the Philippines. Both arc as sertions of a vigorous Intention on the part of this government, to play U more prominent part In the Pacific nnd the Orient. There is little doubt that this administration is more vigorously com mitted to the open-door policy of John Hay In the Orient thun hns been nny of Its niedecessors. The plan of the ad nilnistrntlnn to develop Latin America by American capital hns Its counter part In the Orient. The Philippines and the fleet In tho Pacific nre the hnmmerhead of the administration policy of assuming a dominant position In the Pacific and of keeping the Orient open to development by American cap itnl. There can be little doubt of the sig nificant e of whnt Is happening In re gard to South America and to -the Pa cific. President Harding, when urging one of the senntors to vote for the Co lombian treaty, sold he cared very little about the details of that pact ; that Ills viminietrntion had n vigorous policy xvith regard to Latin Amerien. First Step In General Policy From similar sources it is learned .that the idea of concentrating the fleet in the Pacific did not originate xvith the. Nnvy Department, but Is n part of the general policy oi the administration xvith rcsnect to thp Orient, of xvhlch the sending of General Wood was the tlrst step. In this correspondence the signifi rnncc of Harding's swift movement with respect to Latin-America has been discussed and explained. It Is n re- assertlon. with increased vigor, of the fnmonu flnllnr illnlnmnrv nf TCnnx which Bryan ended when he became secretary pf state. It Is the vigorous getting be hind American business bx- the Ameri can Gox'crnment in the development of undeveloped countries. Dollar diplomacy in Latin-America had its counteerpart unucr tiecretary oi State Knox in the Orient. This wns American participation in the six-power Joan to China, which in effect put tho American (iovernment Deninti me American banker in China. This also Mr. Bryan ended when he stopped dol lar diploinncy in Latin-America. The sltuntion Is greatly changed since Secrctnry Knox, under President Tnft. started the plan of putting the force of this government behind American busi ness seeking n foothold in the unde veloped sections of the earth. At the time when Mr, Knox made his tentative nnd Ineffectual start, this country, third or fourth as a naval power, was in significant ns a military power and xx-ns Itself n debtor nation, being inferior economically to England and Germany. I'. S. Great Creditor Nation Today it is ns strong or stronger thnn nny other nation on the sens. It has recently shown its great military ca pacity, nnd it Is the great creditor na tion of the world, seeking nn outlet for its energies in various quarters of the globe. The Pacific situation has changed. The Orient has been allowed to drift into a position where Japan hus become domlnnut. In a sense the Lanslng Ishli agreement was :t moinl recogni tion of thnt dominance. Only a dem onsttatinn of Amerlcnn power In tho Pacific, based on the .Philippines, can alter what has happened in the East ns a ri'Mil of the weakening of European Influence there and the corresponding strengthening of Jnpan's. The Ilatding policj on the Pacific is not hostile to Japan in any military sense, but there is little doubt that Japan resents it und fears it. She does not like the sendlii',' of Wood to the Philippines She vill not like the as sertion of our intention to dominate the Pacific contained in the concentration of our licet there. Tho key to Harding's foreign policy is to be seen In the developments in Latin AmciHi. Mis policy In Europe is ciiuiilb vigorous. It wns given by the State Department in the recent dec laration of 'tlie intention to insist upon the rights which the 1'nlted Stntes won as a belligerent in the Into war. Exervwhcre the policy is the same, to make the most of the position in which the wnr left us the foremost naval power nnd the one xvith greattst eco nomic resources.
