TEUTONS STRIVING TO
ORGANIZE new CABINET
Majority Socialists Insist
That They Be the Dom
mating Power.

Weimar Feb. I (By The Associated
Press.) 1.-The composition of the cab
met appears to be the principal prob
lem commanding the attention Of the
new German lawmakers meeting here
in national assembly. The original
proposition was to form a ministry of
l 5 members, seven of whom should
be majority socialists, four centerists
and four democrats The majority
however, are understood to be con-
tending that they should be certain 10
have a majority which the indepen-
dent socialists cannot disturb by any
political maneuVer. Participation Of
the centerists in the formation of the
cabinet was assured by the action
taken at their meeting yesterday in
which they decided to work with the
new government.
The constitution was again dis
cussed at q meeting attended by rep
rcsentatives of the various German
states today in which DIR. Ludo Hart
mann, Austrian minister to Germany,
took part.
The new ministers probably will
bear the title Of the imperial minister
instead of state secretary. Several of
them will be without portfolios, even
though additional portfolios be Gre
ated. The finance ministry will be di-
vided into two departments, one for
special technical details and to deal
with loans, and the other to be the
department of the imperial treasury,
for the administration of socialiZed
public works. 1t is possible that a
labor ministry will be created. A de-
mobilization ministry and an econom-
ic ministry are believed to be certain
of formation in addition to the re-
formation of the imperial treasury
department.
Although the subject of the consti-
tuition was on today's program, it was
believed that it will be impossible to
reach it before tomorrow.

j. S. ANXIOUS ABOUT
BRITISH EMBARG0ES
Dispatches Inquiry Abroad
Worried About French
and Italian Orders.

Washington, Feb. S--Inquiries have
been sent by the state departm ent to
Great Britain, France and Italy re-
garding the British import embargo,
the French cartel system and the
Italian system of government super
vision of purchases, all of which have
an effect on American industries.
The British embargo has been the
subject of warm debate in the senate,
where there is pending a resolution by
Senator Weeks of Massac achusetts ask
ing for information from the state de-
partment and it was learned today
that various complaints against it
had been received by the state depart
ment from manufa cturers.
Protests have been based on the
claims that operation of the embargo
Involves discrimination.
Officials said today no evidence Of
discrimination had been present Cd
and unless discrimination existed the
United States would have little ground
on which to base any protest. in as
much as it was recognized the cOu1-
tries of Europe We're compelled to
protect themselves during the read
justment of their industries to a peace
basis
