March 10. rrcsiilcnt Harding, en bis return here Saturday, will find the situation unimproved. lie went away in disgust at tbc mess in tut! Heuse ever the bonus. Se-cnlleJ lenders of the chamber were running te him every day for advice and then cither paying no attention' te what he said or misrepresenting it en the Hill. Instead of co-operating ns members of one party, the, Congressmen were bent upon unloading en the Executive the burden of defeating bonus legislation. Tempera were getting bad, and Mr. Hnnllnir went nwnr te escane it nil. But the precem went en all tbe time be was in Flerida. Messengers inter- i ruptcd his vacation te consult him, only te ignore his advice when they get back te Washington. I And the irritation developing between 'Congress and the Executive broke out 'against Secretary Mellen and Comptroller Crisslnger, who were speaking in tbc , President's absence. It lias spread new' te members of Congress themselves, luc bonus advocates ure as angry at Speaker Uillett as they arc at Mr. Mellen and Mrs. Crisslnger. Talk of ousting the Speaker need net be taken seriously, but it Khews bow raw are the nerves en the Hill after the long and ineffectual iigbt ever tbe bonus bill. Tariff Problem Unsolved On the tariff there la tbc same con fusion ns en the bonus. Congress was called together in special session last April te de two things reform the taxes and the tariff. Almest a year has passed and net only is there no tariff bill, but there is no tariff policy. The Senate Finance Committee Is In a tangle. Disagreements among the members have been irritating. Changes of mind have been frequent. One Senater en the committee has given particular grievance te bis associates. The great est difficulty has come ever the Ameri can valuation plan. Ne one knows hew this scheme will work and American business is divided ever it. It was decided recently Iby a ma jerity of one te adept a modified scheme of American valuation. This seemed like progress, as the knottiest Question was at least disposed of in committee. A few days later one of tbe Senators who bad voted for the plan changed his mind and everything was up in the air once mere. Can't Improve Matters Mr. Hardinc'n return here will make little difference. Congress does net fol fel low his leadership. It is slowly invad ing what i has recently been regarded as tbe province of tbe Executive without being able te use effectively tbc power which it is taking te Itself. There is a disposition te blame the confusion that exists here upon the lack of firmness In the President him self. Anether Hoescvclt or another Wilsen, it is said, would be able t drive CengrcMi into effective action. But that criticism overlooks the extent te which party authority has broken down. It Is net enough for a Congressman te be a reed Krnubllcun new te be re elected. He has te satisfy organized minorities in his district. He lias te please the Farm Bureau Federation or i the American Legien. Tbc method which put through the prohibition UKivuuiuiib uiiu mi; n uuiait e iuiiinni; amendment te the Constitution have be come controlling factors in American public life. Harding a Ilarmenlzer The authority which was once wield cd by parties Is new shared by organize I minorities which have the balance of power In Congress districts. The un bnppy congressman Is ordered te go one way by his party and unetber by an organized minority which has it in it power te prevent his re-election. Mr. Ilurdlmr would accomplish neth lnc by being firmer than he in. He has a difficult role te play, that of hnrmenizrr and compromiser. He is doing It as well as nny man could. Probably he is the best Kind of l'rcniuent the country could have in the circumstances. The country is, apparently, working toward some profound changes In the I organization of parties and In the bill ' nnce of power between the branches of the (feycrnment here. It is Impossible te ' see just what these will be except that ! Congress through its control of taxation I mid credit Is ussuining a new Impert I nnee In the scheme of things, new that i taxes are high nnd the voters are deeply (concerned in their Incidence. I The old organization has broken down .and no new organization bus been built I up te take Its place. While this un- certainty lasts, tempers will be ou edge. jThe President will often be tempted te seek relief by going away te Flerida or ; Alaska. But his presence or absence will j make little difference in the confusion In j CengrebS. : PUNISH FRENCH DIPLOMAT Berthelet Retired for Ten Years for Bank of China Activities Paris, March 10. (By A.
