 If we do not want the league of na : tions.' MT Daniels said, we ought to have conference purely on the subject Eof reduction of arlnanlents. Every na-

 When MT. Martens leaves the coup try" said Senator France. "the Russian people will be without representative here, and while their representatives in Great Britain have been recognized and most profitable orders for immense quan- titles of goods are being placed by these representatives in England, the United States, by our policies. will be- isolated ard prevented from participation in this most, desirable and lucrative trade
 T shall not go so far as to say that the policy of our government toward Russia las been dictated by the British, but we do know it has been most advantageous to British interests. The dearth of rlanu- factured articles in Russia is so great and the purchasing power of the soviet gov CT rolst so great, that the opening of Russian markets would do much to re- stere more prosperous conditions in this country"

HARDING BEGINS TALKS
 ON DOMESTIC SUBJECTS

Marion. O., Dec. 27.-Senator Harding, presidents today interrupted his dis cussion of foreign policy and an assocla- ton of nations with prominent citizens to take matters of domestic concern, around which most of the discussion during the present week will center. He commenced his talks on domestic subjects today with Congressman James w. Good of Iowa, chairman of the house appropriations committee He also talked with Max Rabinoff, conductor of the Chicago Opera company, on Russian trade.
 1 Today also brought forth the first defi- nite announcement that Senator Harding will resign his seat in the senate immedi- ately upon the inauguration of Governor elect Davis and the governor-elect's an nouncenrent that he will immediately ap- point Senator-elect Frank B. Willis to the | vacancy. This was announced by MT. Davis after conference with MT. Hard 1 ing.
 Tomorrow will witness further discus 1 sion of domestic questions with Senator
 McCumber of North Dakota. ranking
 member of the senate finance committee,
 and Oscar Straus, former secretary of
 commerce mad labor
 The conference today with Representa- 1 tive Good was said to have chiefly con lcerned appropriations and 8 proposed budget system. In a statement issued after the conference Chairman Good said he had pointed out to Senator Harding the importance, as it seemed to him. of
 having budget Legislation passed by the
 present congress- so the fiscal Operations
 of the new administration might be in Isaugurated on the budget plan
 1 My suggestion, he said was that the
 best possible budget system beasecured at fonce and that later it might be modified 1 if necessary.
 "It is, of course, highly desirable that
 the policy of the new administration be formulated as soon as possible so that congress may conform it's program to that policy. The present congress is making
 appropriations which will Tn well into 1 the Harding administration out which, of
 necessity, represent the policy of the present rather than the incoming admin istration.
 Appropriations. of course, are made for the purpose of carrying out particu- lar line of policy. and 1t is therefore de
 sirable that the policy should be known to the aDpropriating authorities as early as possible"
