HARDING CONSULTS
ON MANY PROBLEMS
Foreign and Domestic Affairs Are
Talked About-"Best Minds"
Are Called

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 21.--Presi-
dent-elect Harding's conferences on
the policies of his administration
ranged far and wide today among
the nations foreign and domestic
problems and gave him the benefit
of advice from upwards of a dozen
Of the 'fbest minds" he has invited
into consultation.
-. Two of those with. whom he has
talked about domestic questions
have been persistently mentioned
for cabinet positions and their COM
ing stimulated speculation about
the possibility Of their appoint
ment to the next Presidents official
family. They were Charles G..
Dawes, Chicago banker, and Henry
Wallace, of Des Moines, Iowa, an
editor of farm publications. With
the former, Mr.. Harding talked of
financial conditions and tax re-
forms and with the latter discussed
farmer relief.
Shields Among Number
Senator John X. Shields, of Ten
nessee, a Democrat member of the
foreign relations committee and an
rireconcilable opponent of the Ver-
sailles treaty, conferred with the
President-elect about the plan for
an association of nations and gave
his approval of the general princi-
Piles proposed by Mr.. Harding for
an international court The league
question also was discussed by the
President-elect with Samuel Nc
Cune Lindsay, professor of social
legislation at Columbia, who said he
was confident the foreign policies
ching laid on a sound foundation.
The question of Mr.. Harding's
early resignation from the Senate
was the subject of a conference be-
tween him and Senator-elect Frank
B. Willis, whom Governor Cox has
agreed to appoint to the vacancy. It
was said afterward that no decision
was reached and the friends of the
President-elect took his delay as
meaning that he probably would not
retire until the new Republican gov
ernor of Ohio takes Office early in
January.
