Harding and week.
or course, II what Is here said IS cor
rect. IL will cause Harding q gooo oea4
Of min not to give ex-senator weeks an
apointment, which he Is believed 10 want
and for which he has EXTRAORDINARY III
ness. Weeks, when he WAS IN tne sen
ote showed that he knew the theory ana
practice OF banking better than HI!
other man in public life. He was alhost
ne responsible as Wilson was LOT 'he
passage Of the federal reserve act ana
ne was even more responsible TOT tno
enormous amount Of care and hard Work
that went into the perfect!ng OF II: In
way, 1t Is weeks misfortune IN tnis con
nection that he Is equally wen ht'eo iof
one or two other cabinet posts
II can be predicted with great conn
dsnce that Weeks will be in the caolnet.
II seems likely that Harding Will denn-
it.Iv seIect his secretary Of the state
and his secretary OF the treasury IN
