OPPOSES STANDINGS
PLANS FOR CABINET
Marshall, Here, Says They
Would Make Vice Presi-
dents Path Rough.

Vice President Marshall. who re-
turned to Washington today for the
opening of Congress Monday. does
not believe that Senator Harding's
plan to have the Vice President be-
come practically a member of the
cabinet will work to advantage. -
The Constitution of the United
dent should be the presiding officer of
Vice President Marshall. ITO be a
presiding officer it Is necessary that
the Vice President shall have the en-
tire confidence of all of the senator's
If a Vice President should attend
meetings of the cabinet practically as
a member. it would tend to arouse
suspicion, and senators Of the mino-
rity party might not trust him. This
would make the path of the Vice
President in the Senate rough one.
"If any representatives from the
Capitol are to attend cabinet meet
ings. the majority leader of the Senate
and the majority leader of the House
should be the men selected.
"The idea that a Vice President
should be completely informed as to
the policies of the President. SO that
he might carry them out in the event
of the Presidents death, is, to my
mind. fallacious. A Vice President
might make a poor President. but he
would make a much poorer one if
he attempted to subordinate his own
mind and views to carry out the ideas
of a dead man."
The Vice President is looking well
and cheerful. He declined to discuss
the recent political campaign.

UNQUESTIONED IN FRANCE.
Foreign Office Not Opposed to Ad-
herence of Argentina.

PARIS, December 4.-France does
not question the constitutionality of
the adherence OF Argentina to the
league of nations. nor the compe-
tence of Argentina's delegates to the
assembly of the league at Geneva to
represent their country, ii was stated
at the foreign office today.
This statement was prompted by
reports published in Argentina that
France was questioning the legality
of the Argentinian membership in the
league. the point being raised that her
adherence could not be considered le-
gal until approved by the national
congress. The report was connected in
Argentina with dispatches from Ge-
neva indicating that deductions had
been made there from utterances of
Foreign Minister Pueyrredon that Ar
gentina favored the admission of Ger
many to the league.
In denying the report that France
was questioning Argentina's status in
the league. the foreign office ex-
pressed disbelief that the French del =
egates at Geneva were taking an at
titude rejecting any such view

THREAT Of BREAK

Establishment of such a principle is
