■/- WYOMIKG COOTTY TIMES, WipSAW, K. Yi, THUHSPAY, PER 27,1923 PAGE SEVEM EVENTS OF 1923 PASWEVIEW Happenings at Home and Abroad During the Twelve Months That Have Just Closed. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS German reparations and complica tions resulting from the failure to pay them occupied much of the attention of European diplomats. Early in Jan uary the allied premiers held a futile conference in Paris, and France pre pared for separate' action to collect from Germany. About the same time Secretary Hughes announced the Unit ed States would not consider Berlin’s proposal for a four-power European peace pact and also informally ad vised France not to occupy the Ruhr. Prance, however, was determined, and the reparations commission gave her the opening by declaring Germany in willful default in coal deliveries. Ger many formally protesting and Great Britain not approving, the P'rench on January 11 began the occupation of the Ruhr, seizing its most important cities one after another. I’resident Harding expressed his disapproval by recalling the American troops from Germany. Chancellor Cuno, with the support of the’ reichstag, declared a “moral war” of passive resistance and- ordered all state employees not to obey the French. The mine owners and later the industrial magnates fell in with this program and for months the French were balked in their efforts to get any considerable revenue from the region. They seized custom s, bank funds and railways, and arrested many industrial leaders and officials, but the . passive resistance was not broken un til late in September. The occupa tion was assisted actively by Belgium and passively by Italy. Great Brit ain, though she did not actually ham per the French, gave them no help. On May 2 Germany. made a new' reparations offer of S7,500,00ft with many conditions, and it was rm- mediately rejected by France. Eng land also declared the offer insufflcient. Berlin then asked a new reparations conference on the total sum and of fered annuities of l,500,000,00u gold marks. Great Britain invited France and Italy to join her in a reply to this, and submitted a draft of her proposed answer, but this also fell through. The' British guvernmont thereupon sent a note to France and P^Jgiuni declaring the Itnbr occupa tion illegal and a failure, insisting on an impartial reparations inquiry after the plan suggested by Secretary of State Hughes, and saying France must pay enough of the money lent her to enable Great Britain to pay America. Again no results, ITemier Poincare dechu’ing Germany mu.st set tle the reparations question before an economic accord could be reached. (Chancellor Stresemann, who had suc ceeded Dr. Cuno, announced the aban donment of passive resistance and said no more reparations would be paid and the treaty of Tersailles would be repudiated. He also put an end to the aid which the government had been giving the inhabitants of the oc cupied regions. Soon after this the industrial magnates of the Ruhr and Rhineland signed a pact with the French for the resumption of work and of payments of material. In December the reparations com mission decided to appoint two com mittees of experts, one to examine German money in foreign lands and the other to try to devise means by which Germany might balance her budget and stabilize her finances. Poincare now seemed in a yielding mood and President Coolidge an nounced he approved of unofficial American participation through the selection of Americans as members of those committees. Turkey’s diplomatic victory at Lau sanne was not easily won. While the conference there was deadlocked in January Mustapha Kemal mobilized armies to move against Constanti nople, Mosul and other points and called three classes to the colors to combat the Greeks in Thrace. The quarreling in the peace conference was inces.^ant. On .January 31 the allies submitted a treaty to the Turks, demanding its acceptance within four days. The Turks agreed to sign it if the economic clauses were r< s.-rved for futtire .settlement. Lord (’nrzon departed in a rage, and on February 0 the coi'ifert iice broke up. Diplomatic con\t-r.-:aIi.'ns continued, hov, lo er; the Britisli i-ulicated tlif'.v woild luake conci*-.i<;ns, and the conP-i.m-p re.siimed on^April 23, Ilus-;u Pi lug ux- clude<l. On July ^24 a tr, .ity was slgui d which g.ave* to T.u-ivcy nearly all she had demandi d, ilm (pi. sunn of oil , con 'essious Ijeing left mr later consid( rath^n. A few da.vs later the United States^ an.! Turkey -igned treaties' of amity and commor. and on extradithm. P,y (-ntnij.-r 2 t!i<^ al lied military forces laid evacuated Constantinople and thi* Turks soon after took formal po.sse;->ion of their ' old caiutal. Warfare between Italy and Greece in the autumn was narrowly averted. An Italian military coiumissioner and his \aids were murdered in Albania and on August 28 Italy demanded that Greece apologize abjectly and pay reparations. - The Greek reply b^ing unsatisfactor.y, the Italians promptly bombarded and occupied tbe island of Corfu. Greece appealed- ro the League of Nations, which was .disposed to take up the affair'; but Premier Mus solini declared Italy would withdraw from the league and ignore its deci sion if it insisted on arbitrating the dispute. The situation was.most em barrassing for the league, but 'the allied council of ambas.sadors rescued It by assuming jurisdiction and order ing Greece to comply with Italy’s de mands almost in their entirety, Greece gave in, apologized and paid 50,000,000 lire indemnity, and on September 27 Italy evacuated Corfu. Musi?olini aohieved another triumph by jin agreement with Jugo-Slayhi whereby Italy obtained possession of Itume. ^ In January American and British commissions met in Washington to ne gotiate the^refunding of the British war debt to America, and their task was soon completed to the apparent satisfaction of both nations. The' Washington treaties on reduction, of armament and concerning the Pacific ■were ratified by Italy in February and fey France in July. Through- ‘the ef- ^ forts of an American commission sent to Mexico, the government of our neighbor was finally brought to ami cable terms and the long-withheld rec ognition was accorded by Washington on August 31. DOMESTIC AFFAIRS Overshadowing all other events In the United States was the death of President Warren G. Harding. He had long planned a trip through the Middle and Far West and to Alaska in order to talk with the people and get their reactions. Tlmugh tired out and far from well, he started on June 20, accompanied by Mrs. Harding and several members of his cabinet. After delivering several important addresses. for the fJace. Immediately after its summer vaca tion the Supreme cuip’t rendered an impo,rtant decision upholding the laws of the Pacific cgfast states which pro hibit aliens from owning land. These laws, of course; are directed against the Japanese especially. - FOREIGN AFFAIRS Germany’s internal troubles, politi cal, economic and financial, were in- •extricably tangled up with • her inter national \voes and, 'brought her to so low a state that her regeneration seemed at times almost hopeless., Roy alists, separatists and communists con spired, revolted and rioted. Unem ployment increased and in the cities all but the industrial magnates and the profiteers were reduced to n'^ear starvation, although the crops were large and the rural districts were over running with food stuffs. The goveri^- ment tried to meet tbe situation by keeping up the .flood of paper marks and of course the mark declined until billions .could'he had for one dollar and those who had anything to sell notably one advocating American mem- j refused to accept the practically bership in the World court, he sailed to Alaska.« Returning thence to San Francisco, he fell ill there on July 28. ' Four days later, on August 2, he passed away. The taking of his body back to Washington, the services there, the trip to Marion, Ohio, and the interment there of the little town’s distinguished citizen on August 10 gave the people of the country ample opportunity to show in what high esteem and affection they held Mr. Harding. Literally the entire natiofl mourned sincerely, and all the other nations gave expression to tlieir grief. Vice President Calvin Coolidge took the oath of office as President at his father’s home in Plymouth, Vt., and assumed his new duties at once, re taining the entire Harding cabinet and’ announcing that he would carry out the Harding policies where possible. It had been taken for grantexl that the Republican party would nominate Mr. Harding in 1924, and Mr. Cool idge immediately became a probable nominee. However, before rhe year elosed other candidates came forward, notably Senator Hiram Johnson of California, Governor Pinchot of Penn sylvania and Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin. For Ihe Democratic domi nation there Avere several probabili ties, including Senator Underwood and William G. McAdoo, avowed candi dates, and Senator Ralston of Indiana, Gov, A1 Smith of New York an^ Gov- temor Siizer of New Jersey. There was much talk of the possible nomi nation of Henry Ford by one of the old parties or by a third party, and his admirers w'ere exceedingly^ active. The Republican national committee, acceding to the wishes of the Presi- wortliless currency. In August Chan cellor Cuno presented a “rescue plan” to the reichstag. It was rejected and Cuno resigned, Gustave Stresemann succeeding himi and forming the first coalition majorit.Y government in Ger many’s history. He undertook to re form .the finances by the issue of a new currency, the renten mark, backed by the country’s resources. This was far from successful. 'Throughout the year the royalists »r nationalists of Germany were ex ceedingly active, those of Bavaria usu ally taking the lead. In September the Bavarians actually revolted against the Berlin government and made Gus tave von Kahr dictator of the state. The reichstag thereupon gave Strese mann dictatorial powers. A.......... little later^ on“'Aprn“27TEanibri•'ae'TaTera ofdefed his followers to cease- hostilities afid negotiate peace. The Dublin govern ment refused to -treat with him and on August 15 he was placed under ar rest. , Chinese factions fought bitterly throughout the entire year, and in Oc tober President Li Yuan-hung was suc ceeded ' by Marshal Tsao-kun. Con siderable ' excitement was caused in May by the capture of a number of foreigners by Chinese bandits, who de manded large ransom and immunity. The prisoners included several Americans and English, and for a time armed intervention by their govern ments seemed likely. Howe\'er, the Pekin government bought off the out laws after long negotiations. In Russia, as the soviet rulers grad ually modified their Communistic poll- clesr there seemed to be steady prog ress toward stability. Most other na tions still withheld recognition of the Moscow government, but a number of them made commercial arrangements with the soviet regime. The Russian supreme court condemned Arobbijihop ZepUak and Vicar General Butchka- vlch of the Roman Catholic church to death for revolutionary activities. The latter was executed, but Zepliak’s sen tence Avas commuted to ten years’ im prisonment. Early in December another revolu tion, was attempted in Mexico, the leader being Adolfo de la Huerta who' was offended because President Obre- gon would not support his candidacy for the presidency. The revolt spread rapidly, but before the month closed Obregon seemed to have the situu' tion well in hand. dent, selected Cleveland as the place | tinuous fighting with the national INDUSTRIAL AND LABOR Only one really big strike marred the record of the year in the United States, and that did not last long.

On j of Pennsylvania undertook to handle November 8 Hitler, leader of the Ba- the problem, and proposed a compro- tarian Fascisti, and General von Lu- dendorff attempted a royalist coup d’etat in Munich and other cities and threatened to march on Berlin. This revolt was rather easily put down by the national police and the workers and Hitler and Ludendorff were ar rested. On November 10 Frederick William, the former croA^n prince, sud denly returned to Germany from Hol- In 'October the separatists of the Rhineland got into action and set up a republic Avhich was looked upon with favor by France. However, it was not able to maintain itself very suc cessfully, and there avus almost con- mise on August 29. The strike began officially tAVO days later, but the nego tiations were continued. Pinchot’s plan was accepted September 8 and the miners resumed work on Septem- At various times during the year the railAvay labor board adjusted the wages of certain classes of rail work ers, usually raising them. Some of the roads made separate agreements with their employees, giving them in creased pay. April 9 the steel indus try raised the Avages of common labor 11 per cent and adjusted the pay of other cla.sses, and on April 13 tlie Chi cago packing house employees and building trade Avorkers AV’ere given an for tlie national conventiou of 1924, j forces.

New. Attorney Gen- J eral Daugherty, against whom im peachment charges had been made the previous year, was fully exonerated by the house judiciary committee, the report being adopted by the house on January 25. Among the appointments made by President Harding were Rob ert Woods Bliss as minister to Swe den; Miles Poindexter as ambassador to Peru; R. M. Tobin as minister to the Netherlands; E. T. Sanborn as as sociate justice of the Supreme court of the United States, and Gen. Prank T. Hines as director of the veterans’ bureau. The latter appointment was followed by charges of mismanage ment, Avaste, etc., against the former director. Colonel Forbes, which were investigated by a senate committee. Ha\fing passed the agricultural cred its bill and many acts of lesser im portance, and. killing the ship-subsidy bill, the Sixty-seventh congress came to an end on March 4. The Sixty- eighth congress met on December 3 and the Republican majority Avas so Slender that a bloc of so-called pro-' gressives held the balance of poAver. Speaker Gillett AVas re-elected and President Coolidge then delivered his first message, in which he declared himself in favor oi American member ship in tile World court, advocated re- ducti.-u of taxes and opposed the sol diers’ bonus.

The other .slgte ex<-< utive in troiiidy was Gov. W. T. M.?Cray of Indiana., who got into deep fintmcial en- I tanglcments and also was indictcl. \ The Supreme court on April 3U de cided that foreign vessels coulu not bring liquor into American i/orts, though sealed, and later the liqi store.s of several liners were seized, at New York. Foreign nations prote.sted but could not Avell take any-^action. However, late in the year the govern ment negotiated an agreement with Great Britain*whereby the right ot search was extended to about twelve miles from shore, ’and in returiji it 'was expected the ship liquor regulation would be modified. The extension of the search limit was nmde necessary- by the activities of the smugglin« fleets which kept the countr/Avell sup plied with wretched liquor. On May 4 the New York legislature' repealed the state prohibition'^law.- In Octobejp a conference of governors on law en forcement was held in Washington, and President ‘Coolidge pledged the full aid of the government machinery, but insisted each s ,te must assume Its Dwi^ share of the burden, * President Coolidge had the appoint ment oii one ambassador last year.

Gary of the U. S. Steel corpo- oTir.>c ... ration announced its elimination. The American Federation or Labor mann’s coalition went to pi.'ces and, being denied a vote of confidence in the reiclnstag, he resigned. Dr. Hein rich Albert, unpleasantly i-euiembered in ximerica, and Adam «tegerwald both failed to foriiu acceptable m inistries, and so Dr. Wilhelm Marx, leader of the Catliolic party, was made chancel lor on November 29 and got together a cabinet that included Stresemann as foreign minister and that was expect ed to carry on his policies. The revolution in Spain, Avhich was connected Avith the unsatisfactory Avar AA-ith the Moors, took place in Septem ber. The revolt, led by General Primo Rivera, Marquis de Estella, was against the cabinet and corrupt poli ticians and also was an expression of reaction against the growth of so cialism and ■ syndicalism among the workers. The king supported it and the cabinet resigned on September 14, A miliiiu-y directorate was established .and Rivera Avas m,%de sole chief of the administration. The new govern ment made itself popular at once by a campaign on profiteering and gam bling, by cutting expenses to the bone and by other drastic measures of re form. Trial by jury was suspended because of the corruption of the courts. Altogether, it Avas a happy reAmlution for Spain. Bulgaria also had a revolution, al most bloodless, AA’hen Stamboulisky’s peasant government Avas overthrown on .Ttine 9 and the premier himself was captured andl killed. Profe.ssor Zank- off was made, head of the neAV govern ment. In- September the Communists and peasants resorted to arms in an attempt to regain poAver, but they Avoi’e soon suppressed.

For mer I’remier Lloyd George, who had been on a .speaking tour of the United States, arrived home just in time to make up his old quarrel Avith the other wing of the liberal party, and went into the campaign with vigor. When the votes were counted it was found that while the Liberals and Laborites both had W’on many seats from -the Consei-vatives, no one of the tliree parties had a majority. The Laborite% how'ever, announced that their leader, Ramsay MacDonald, would undertake to form a govfernment as soon a$ called upon, whereupon Prime Minister Bald win declared he^and his cabinet would retain office at' least until the new parliament la d met in January. 4 .

The number of killed was estimate^ at 225,000, and the injured at more\ than half that number. Though many of the houses Avere flimsy, the prop erty loss Avas enormous. The hun dreds of thousands of refugees suf fered seA'erely, but the American gov ernment and the American Red Cross were SAvift Avith relief measures, and other ^ nations joined in the. Avork. Shiploads of food and millions of dol lars Avere rushed to_the stricken land, and the Japanese government was ma terially aided in its task of rebuilding the ruined cities.
