not then chosen successor.
Big Job Ahead Of New Secretary.
Upon the new secretary of the.
treasury, whoever he may be, will
devolve the task of financing the
nation through the transition period OF

and possibly also further revision OF
the system Of war taxation.

and Mr.. McAdoo, made public yester-
day with the announcement of the
resignation, gave Mr.. McAdoo's reasons
for leaving the cabinet solely as a
necessity for replenishing his personal
