The State Department has called
Ambassador Harvey from London for

If the administration would keep him
here.
“The Tiger of France” goes back to

A buiich of hypocrite* in Georgia

President Harding is slowly, but
very certainly coming to thu point
where he is forced to accept the for

the day of hi* inauguration, ihstead
of listening to those “beat minds,”

WHT CLEMENCEAU SUCCEEDED
The *Bcce*s of M. Clempncean’b
tour 1* greater than he had reason
Ito expect, ft h*s been greater than
much in hia speeches and articles jus
tified.
it is a sto-cess that would have been
more immediately apparent if instead
of talking with his eye so constantly
on the Par# newspapers he had spok
en, bis real mind everywhere as he
did in yesterday’s interview in The
World. Obviously the response to
him would have been much more sen
sational had the American people
been allowed to see him as an old
French radical who wag going home
to attack militarist and clerical reac
tion, in his own country, Instoa<jKf a
somewliKtalame Tiger talking UffiHi
cial chauvinism.
But iVj Clemenceau was
to create sensations. And so until
the day he sailed refused to say any
thing which would drag domestic
French politics into the discussion.
His tour ws less interesting for tl#
reason than if he had drawn the K
sue at the start between himself and
French reaction. But this witty and
dauntless old Frenchman could- risk
seeming to be dull for three weeks if
in that time he could advertise the
simple truth that America must -work
with Europe, says the New York
World.
So he put aside a good deal of easy
popularity that would have come to
him by Teveallng his present position
in French politics. He concentrated
on one thing, and even threw some
red meat to the wolves at .home, so
that they Would not molest the Tiger
in America.
To a cortaln extent M. Clemenceau
Played in luck. lie came after a har
vest which had left deep discontent
throughout the West. He came after
on election which had emphatically
repudiated the results, if not the pol
icy, of isolation. He came at a time
when people throughout the land
were realizing, as they had not real
ized it for three years, that eur in
dustrial system is out of joint be
cause agriculture is depressed and
that agriculture is depressed because
the world mar Net is disorderly.
Ha Pointed the moral when thp les
son had already been taught. He hs
started a current of discussion which
will gradually but Inevitably bring
American policy in line with Ameri
can need# and interests, instead of
with flie partisan prejudices and
thoughtless campaign speeches of
1920.
M. Clemeiicoau bus achieved)a suc
cess because at exactly the right mo
ment he arrested attention # and ut
tered an unanswerable truth which is
supported by the irresistible logic of
fact.
Th* forces driving America to work
again with Europe are irresistible be
cause they combine our greatest eco
nomic interest with our beet sense
of duty to the rest of mankind. The
policy of Isolation tei an utter failure
and a moral humiliation. And while
because it hi both o economic failure
rr.im will often sacrifice their ideals
for their pookat hooka, and at times
their pocket books for .their ideals,
they are not enchanted by a pol
icy which succeeds in sacrificing their
pocket hooks end their Heels at the
samci thu*. ' f
Therefore, Mr. Harding Is cautious
ly trying to come out of his funk-cel
lar. Some months, ago he learned
how to acknowledge Jpttors addressed
to him by the League of Nations. A
little later he shook hands with the
Pormanent Court of International
Justice.
That was all very little. He still
ran away from Genoa and ho rau
away from The Hague. Then earn*
the Lausanne Conference. By this
time public sentiment had really be
gun ot puiih him. Unofficial observ
er* became official observers, and of
ficial observers became offical spokes
men. * •'
His spokesmen spoke. And the first
tiring they had to say in tho first Eu
ropean conference attended by the
United States since Mr. Harding took
office was that the Standard Oil Com
pany must have oil. The utter mean
ness of putting oil first wn* quickly
resented by the American people.
Under the lash of that resentment
Mr. Harding raised ihis wire two
months after the Smyrna disaster in
behalf of the afflicted people of Asia
Minor. He raised his voice, but help
he could offer Orem none.
In the meantime, under the pres
sure of the last election and because
of blia farmers’ discontent and the
industrial stagnation, he began ae
cretly to intervene in the reparation
problem. Through George Harvey
he entered upon some sort of hidden
diplomacy, which is no doubt better
than none, but which by Its timidity
and its evasion is utterly unworthy of
a Nation that has always preferred
shirt-sleeve ■to back-stairs diplomacy.
The foree of the facta w irresisti
ble. Even Mr. Harding, while hia
party, commitments and liis pfitbetic
uwCemiJiarity with world problems, ie
pushed ***g by them- He has held
back the tides for two years. He
cSnnpt hold..them. longer.

THE SAME W. J. BURNS!
' At the very beginning of the
Daugherty impeachment cage the
name of William J. Bums is brought
into the proceedings. By’ appointment
of Attorney General Daugherty the
man best known for his private de
tective agency is now Chief of the
Bureau of Investigation of the De
partment of Justice, an office of ex
ceptional responsibility.
Very appropriately at this time
the House Judiciary Committee is
to examine into Mr. Burns
past aeffivities. By way of evidence
direetljyiearing on these matters are
preseopd certain letters written b.v
President Taft and Attorney General
Wickersham relating to Oregon land
cases m which in 1907 the detective
figured.
In this officiaj correspondence be
tween President Taft and his Attor
ney General, Mr. Bums, while em
ployed by the Government in the
land-fraud cases, js plainly described
at| tampering with a jury list in a
way to pack a jury. In effect, though
not in so many words, Mr. Burns was
officially denounced as having been a
jury-fixer. President Taft wrote that
the methods practised were “the most
barefaced and unfair use of all the
machinery for drawing up a jury”
that had ever come to his knowledge
in a long experience in the Federal
courts. These conditions, he added,
‘‘give sufficient reason and justify a
pardon for Jones convicted),
as well ns justify condemnation of
the methods of Mr. Heney (the Spe
cial Prosecutor) and Mr. Bums.”
Not only were these letters on file
in the Department of Justice, but Mr.
Wickersham wrote to Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty suggesting that ' he
examine the, files before appointing
Mr. Burial. His letter remained un
answered. _
That is the record, now made {IB
lie, as It affects the present AttorneV
General's right-hand man and confi
dential agent. It raises other impor
tant questions. It prompts the in
quiry as to how and by whom the lri
formation in the extended series of
affidavits filed by Attorney Afcmoral
Daugherty in the railroad
injunction cose tvs* obtained. Vl
William J. Burns furnish it?
In view of Mr. Burna’ past perfor
mances, it would be interesting to
the public to have fuller light on tliie
subjet.
OUR GOOD INFLUENCE!
It is fashionable In certain quertors
to speak of this government ae if it
hud drawn into its shell and told the
balance of the world to go to the
devil. „ This is for from the truth.
Th# United States la taking an inter
est. in international affairs and ia oif
ortlng a good influence. The first
conference bt£|Nvnations since the
big war that has left the World more
inclined towards peace than it Was at j
the beginning was that held at Wash-:
ington and the influence of the Unit-1
ed Sattea w the leading factor in
making this distinct and important
gain. It is true that the scrapping of
he navies has not ypt made apprecia
ble Progress—may have not yet be
gun, but the agreement results in
smaller appropriations for war and
the people of the United State* are
already getting the benefit of the
economy. If the agreements reached
at Washington are not carried out it
will not be because of tho spirit that
prevailed there but because of the
fanning of the flames of liata else
where. m
The influence of this at
Lausanne has been wiflHßxcitnl
and tt has been Product**if good.
