Vacation Party to Arrive at National Capital at Noon Today. Chief Executive Will Resume Cares of State at Desk on Monday. Augusta, April 7. His vacation ended, President Harding tonight turned his face toward Washington and his mind toward the cares of problems of state. The departure of the presidential party from Augusta tonight brought to a close a vacation of five weeks for the chief executive, four weeks of which were spent in Florida and one in Augusta.

Mrs. Harding Regains Strength. That this almost entire separation from official duties has benefited Mr.

Harding is plainly seen. Moreover, Mrs. Harding, whose convalescence from her illness of last fall although steady was slow while she remained In Washington during the winter, has regained much of her former strength. This return by Mrs. Harding to health has, in the opinion of members Of the vacation party, been quite as much of a tonlo to the President as the days spent in the sunshine of Florida and Georgia.

The presidential party will arrive In Washington shortly after noon tomorrow and Mr. Harding will return to his desk In the executive offices Monday morning. South Shows Approval. In returning to Washington, Mr. Harding, it was said by members of his party, carried with him a strengthened feeling that people of the South, although largely of a different political faith, are united with him as President.

Several persons close to the President saw in his last night's address what answer he might make if he chose to reply to the notice served In New York last night by former Associate Justice Clarke, of the United States Supreme court, that the League of Nations issue would be forced into the 1924 election. Answers League Proponent. This, it was indicated, was embodied in the following portiton of Mr. Harding's address: "Our first concern, my countrymen, is of -domestic affairs. In this republic.

Tou need not worry about our relationship with the rest of the world. I tell you with pride and confidence that they were never better at any time in the history of America than they are today. We are surely not so Involved in old world affairs as some of our friends would have us. This will be the verdict of Europe that the republic of the United States is the most Just nation in the world and justice is the most that is asked by God Almighty."

If you Indicate the succeHKes already placed to the account of the League, its opponent decry or minimize these triumphs and suggest that you are blinded by attachment to a chimera. If you point to its shortcomings, the extreme zealots cl League get angry wd hint that you a secret enemy. I mean nevertheless to attempt an answer, for much depends on fearless ex-. animation of the progress made or ufctsed. My first answer would be that It Is scarcely fair to pose this question Juet yet.

The League was founded only three years ago much too short a period to afford a test of the working of a gigantic, complex but very delicate and sensitive human machine. There fcas been hardly time enough even to catalog and chart the myriads of nerves that thread its system. You cannot tuov a finger at the councils of Geneva without touching some hidden nerve and setting it in a condition of quiver- protest. Triumphs (o Be Proud Of. The League, has, however, been long enough in existence to reveal its strength and its weakness, lis power its potentialities and its perils.

It has already achieved triumphs of which its founders may well be proud. The restoration of Austria to life when it teemed to have teen hopelessly submerged In ta deluge of economic, financial and political disaster which had overwhelmed it, is a notable feat of artificial respiration. The successful effort rganized by the League to stamp out typhus in eastern Europe and prevent It spread to the West Is also a success worthy of record. But for this intelligently conducted campaign, that 'terrible disease would have ravaged Russia and central Europe and laid low millions out of populations so enfeebled by hunger and privation as to become asy victii.iS to its devastating assaults. The labor branch of the League has Jao been specially active and energetic, and Its persistent endeavor to raise and co-ordinate standards of toll in all countries is producing marked and Important results.

In addition, great credit Is due to the League for the splendid werk It has accomplished in alleviating distress which prevailed amongst the famine stricken areas of eastern Europe and amongst the refugees who fled from the horrors of victorious Bolshevism in Russia and the still greater horrors of Turkish savagery in Asia Minor. Main Purpose to Avert War. But these humanitarian tasks, praiseworthy though they be, were not primary objects of the foundation of the League. Its main purpose was the averting of future wars by setting up some tribunal to which nations would be bound by their own covenant and pressure of other nations to resort In order to settle their differences. Its failure or success as an experiment will be Judged by this test alone.

How does It stand in this respect? It succeeded In effecting settlement of the dangerous dUpute between Sweden and Finland over possession of the Aaland Islands. That success was on the line of Its main purpose. Here the methods of the League gave confidence In Its complete Impartiality. So much, unfortunately, cannot be said of another question where it was called In and gave its decision. Its Silesian.

award has been acted upon but hardly accepted by both parties as a fair settlement. That is due to the manner adopted In reaching the judgment. Instead of following the Aaland precedent in the choice of tribunal, it pursued a course which engen-lered suspicion of Its motives. It created the regrettable impression of anxiety to retain a certain measure of control over the decision. There was suspicion of intrigue in th choice of tribunal and conduct of the proceedings.

Should Have Avoided Show of Basis. In the Aaland case no great power Was particularly interested in influencing the conclusions arrived at either Here two powers of great authority in ths League France and Poland-were passionately engaged in securing a result adverse to Germany. The other party to the dispute had no friends and was, moreover, not a mem-, ber of the League. Britain stood for i (Continued on page 11. Col.

If, however, the act is held uncoiv stltutional, the whole subject will be opened up and the closing days of the session will witness some feverish efforts to put another tonnage tax law on the books which will meet the tests of constitutionality. Resolution on Table. There is the table of the speaker of the House, a resolution, In troduced by Representative A. C.

Welch, Farmer-Labor leader, which calls upon the governor to call a special session of the Minnesota Legislature In the event the occupation tax on iron ore Is held unconstitutional and in the event that such decision comes too late to have the law corrected. When the resolution was introduced It was laid on the table with the hope that the decision would come when the supreme court convenes tomorrow after its 6prlng recess. If the decision does not come tomorrow, it is likely that the resolution will be taken from the speaker's desk and passed. If so passed. It will serve as a notice upon the governor that the legislators are willing to return for a special session when the decision does come and if the decision is unfavorable.

Changes Cause Delay. The court has had the case under advisement for some time. Changes in the personnel of the court have apparently caused some delay. The court has been urged. It Is understood, to announce Its decision some time before the Legislature is scheduled to adjourn sine die, which means April 20.

The law was attacked on the grounds that it was an interference with inter state commerce, that it lacked unlfor mity and that it was in reality an in come tax and as such was unconstitu tional. until the decisions of the Supreme court are announced tomorrow, members of both Houses of the Legislature and nearly all other state officials will be on the alert. An unfavorable decision would mean a change In the already overcrowded calendars for the next nine days. Faces Difficult Task. Certain it Is that no Minnesota Legislature of the last decade has faced a more difficult task than the one which is.

All indications were that the John Dwight carried the contraband cargo.

Coast guards are of the opinion that the John Dwight, which left Newport, R. with New York as her Immediate announced destination last Wednesday, went to the eastward to pack up a cargo from a rum-running mother ship and turned back to make her trip' to New i'ork.
