WASHINGTON, Feb Alt is said at the
state department, as there is not the ight-
est wish or desire on the part Of the Presi-
dent or Secretary Bayard to embarrass the
incoming administration with respect to it's
Samoan policy, it is not at all likely that the
present administration will arrogate to
itself the selection of the American repre-
senta ives at the proposed conference at
Berlin, or that it will take any action What
ever, which might tend to commit the next
administration.
