FOR LIBERTY BttL Chicago Request for- Exhibi tion in July Is Protested D. A. R. MAY FIGHT PLAN A request for exhibition of the Lib erty Bell in Chicago next July at an educational festival has aroused oppo sition "here against another junket for America's great relic. Mayer Thompson, of Chicago, yes terday telephoned Mayer Moere inform ing him a petition fifteen miles long and containing the names of 3,000,000 school children will be sent te this city seen. Mayer Moere stated he has told rep resentatives of Chicago that there is a prejudice against allowing the Bell te leave Independence Hall. He Bald he will place tbe matter before City Council. The Philadelphia Chapter, Daugh ters of the American Revolution, led the fight seven years age against send ing the precious Bell te California for the Panama-Pacific Exposition. The old councils allowed the relic te go, however, and a delegation of Council -men went with It, at the city's ex pense. D. A. R.

GILBERT Staff Carrespendeat Evenlnc Publle Irittr Copurleltt. 1911, by PwMte Ltdetr Company Washington, April 20. President Harding, as a result of the vote for the 86,000 personnel in the navy, is in the strongest position in which he-has been since the early days of bis Administra tion. Only one argument was used for the bill in the Heuse. Man after man get up and asked, "Why don't you fellow the President en the navy?" There was no answer te this ques tion. Nene of the arguments of the little navy men were effective against the fact that tbe President wished for 86;000 men. The congressional election draws near and Congressmen feel that their safest position with their constituents it that they have voted as the President wUhed, The Executive is se much stronger be fore tnc country than is congress mat Republicans In the Heuse and in the Senate wish te get under his wings. Blocs Merge Inte Party Blocs find divisions of all kinds trnd te merge themselves Inte the party as the election approaches. This necessity of carrying elections is the best assur ance in the world that the tendency te the group system ln politics will net go te the point of political disintegration. Every four seara there will be h President te elect, and no bloc will be strong enough te elect a President. Therefore, at least every four years blocs must mere or less forget that they are blocs and remember that they are Republicans or Democrats. The same compulsion te almost the same degree rests upon them in. the mid-term Oon Oen grexs elections. What happened with regard te the Navy Bill will also happen with regard te ether major questions from new en till the end of the present session. "Why net fellow the President?" will be the most potent nrgument wherever tbe President's wishes are made plain. This applies especially with regnrd te the Tariff Bill, upon which the greatest possible confusion exists in the minds of the congressional leaders. AH the Senate managers plan te de is te pass some kind of tariff bill and at tach some kind of rider te it which will provide means te pay a bonus te the seldlei-s. They de net knew what kind of tariff bill. They have net the lainiest; iuea weat sort 01 revenue pro pre vision for the bonus te make. The Senate leaders de net think that President Harding will veto any bill for n bonus which provides revenue te Say It. But beyond this they de net new hew te fellow the President. Harding Can Shape Tariff Mr. Harding might make any kind of tariff that he would. But the trouble is that it Is asking tee much te expect the President te decide import duties. He is In the same position that Con gress Is In. He does net knew what the tariff should he. Business is indifferent or divided with regard te protection. The country gives no ure sign what It wents In the way of schedules. The bill reported by the Senate has produced no definite reaction. Frem various parts of the country comes the usual word that the public is tired of Congress and. wishes It would go home. If it could be assured thnt there would be no rcisien of the tariff buslnens generally would probably be content te have tariff legislation drop ped. Hut if the tariff is te be altered busl ne would like te have the changes mndu as Boen as possible te remove the uncertainty. This is the general atti tude, thetiarh. of reurHP. thnn n r. reptien, certain lines demanding protec tion. The present swing of Congress te the President is without nprnmnanf .1..- nlficancc. It docs net indicate that Mr. naming nss discovered th" trick of leadership or that Cenirrpsmnpn nn,i Senators have become amenable te dis cipline. An elrotien h cemlnir that is nil that brings the change. After the election the minorities will emerce once mure nnd the difficulties of leading from the one iieiim win reappear.

The Premier's position is that there can be no mere hesitation in the execu tion of the Treaty of Versailles, and that, unless Its execution Is Insisted upon new, with evidences of determina tion en the part of the Allies, the treaty may ns well be abandoned altogether.
