This man, Calvin Coolidge. has 4 very
crisp and concise way Of saying things.
For some time busybod!es have been
worried because they feared that Vice

They recalled the fact that he rented n

TO have pictured TO the presidents
elect in graphic fashion, the pos
sibilities of a new factional fight
should the new administration ask
the senate to accept any sort or
membership in the league.
Personally" said the Pennsyl-
vania senator after his talk with
Mr.. Harding, II never credited re-
ports that he would use the league
machinery as the basis for the pro-
posed association, / could not inn
agine how he could misconstruet the
mandate of the American people
or back-track on speeches deliv-
cred during the campaign.
After talking with him am
more than ever confident that no
will do no such thing. / am as
sured that he has no set idea IN
mind and am convinced that he
is going to work out something
that will be entirely satisfactory
not only to the senate. but to tho
country"
Declaration OF Policy.
In a memorandum submitted TO
Senator Harding, Senator Knox
suggested that a declaration OF
policy by the leading nations
pledging them to consult and CO..
operate if civilization and peace
were threatened in the future
would be sufficient basis for the
new peace society.
He proposed that such a declAr-
alton be appended to the Knox
peace resolution. which he plans 70
introduce at the extra session OF
congress after March 4.
The purposes of this resolution
were set forth at length in tina
memorandum which said the meas.
ure would terminate the technicaI

Cabinet Timber Lined Up.

Cabinet Timber Lined Up.
Mr.. Harding's conference with
Mr.. Knox dovetailed with another
of unusual importance, in which
he president-elect took up with
his ranking political advisers, Har-
ry NJ. Daugherty and VIII II. Hays.
the problem of cabinet appoint-
ments. No conclusions were re-
vealed, but there were indications
that the two party leaders had
been summoned to give final
opinion on two or three of the most
important posts in the official
family of the next administration.
one of the appointments fore
shadowed for the near future is
that of secretary of state, place
for which Charles Evans Hughes
is understood to be under serious
consideration.
A secretary of the treasury seems
likely to be named at the same
time and speculation for that po-
sition gives greatest prominence to
the names of Charles G.. Dawes and
John w. Weeks. Most of the other
posts will be filled later and those
close to Mr.. Harding says that
nothing like a complete cabinet
slate has yet been seriously con-
sidered.
Elaborate Inauguration.
Plans for the inauguration also
were discussed by the president
elect and Mrs. Harding during the
day with Mr.. Hays, Mr. Daugherty,
Senator Knox and officials of the
Washington inaugural committee
Il. b. Mclean, chairman OF the
committee, and Jesse w. Smith, its
secretary, laid before MIR. Harding
many suggestions for the cere-
mony, which it was said, would
provide for an old-time inaugural
celebration on scale never ex-
ceeded in the nations history.
Senator Knox is chairman of the
congressional committee, partici-
pating in arrangements for the in
auguration. and 1t was partially to
discuss that subject that he came
to Marion. He was also one of
those selected long ago bv NJ.
Harding as a conferee on the as
sociation of nations plan and the
confidence reposed in his Judgment
by the president-eleet has led TO
frequent mention of his name as a
possible head of the state depart
ment.
Other circumstances surrounding
the visit, however, clothed 1t with
peculiar significance. Rumblings
or apprehensions have been heard
more than once in the camp of tho
senate irreconcilables. as Mr.. Taft:
Mr.. Hoover and other friends of
the Versailles league succeeded one
another at the president-elect's
council table or publicly expressed
confidence that the Versailles
covenant would be the foundation
of the new peace plan.
Knox Sounds Warning.
Fresh from conferences with his
colleagues. Mr.. Knox is understood

In the foreign field. looking east
ward. there is the perplexing prob
lem of settling the Palestine bound
aries promising some pointed ex-
change of opinion with France;
Mesopotamia, with it's huge ex-
pense and it's Oil; the ever present
Persian difficulties which the last
agreement has not allayed; India,
which is in a greater state of un-
rest than for years, requiring an
exceptionally large garrison; Rus
sia with her trade proposals. which
have caused a split in the British
cabinet, and the uncertain Greek
situation. .
Relations With U. S.
Officials here believe that within
the next twelve months important
dealings between Great Britain and
the United States will necessitate
most careful handling.
Negotiations between the two
countries have been almost dor
mant since the political conven-
tions in the United States. There
is a desire to clear up the oil ques-
ton, which has been tlse subject OF
long series of communications
on the question as to the extent to
which the United States shall par
ticipate in the world pc -oleum
supply, much of which is under
British mandate. 1t is believed,
however, that considerable more
negotiating will be necessary be-
fore an agreement is reached.
Cable Control Perpleying.
Settlement of cable control also
offers many perplexities, particu-
larly in that the United States is
continually reaching farther for
world trade. Shipping experts and
officials are of the opinion that the
new mercantile marine of the
United States is likely to bring up
a question of adroit diplomacy, and
point to Secretary Daniels an
nouncement of big naval pro-
gram ,ass as the forerqnner for ship
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-12-31

Officials here have not desired
to push these questions to a set
tlement until advent of the new
American administration but hope
to get them under way soon after
March 4.
Two Horns of the Dilemma.
While the government is being
seriously pressed on one side TO
cease enormous expenditure, it is
besieged on the other with de-
mands for unemployment funds,
cash for housing schemes and other
post expenditures. with a re-
suit that there is little likelihood
of reduction in the burdensome
taxation.
Some relief is promised in re-
duced cost of living except in the
price of food which rose steadily
during 1920. With industry hard
hit and million jobless men, mer-
chants who had been holding COM
modities for high prices are ex-
pected to continue to dump their
goods at a loss. This has caused
slight reductions during the latter
weeks of the old year.
AS the year opens, the Lloyd
George government apparently is
maintaining firm hold and there
is little evidence that any of the
many small factions in parliament,
either separately or in concerted
actions. is able to defeat the cabi-
net and force general elections.
Sim Fcin Outbreak Feared.
The cabinet ministers, as they
pass between their offices and par
lament, see evidence of unrest.
Strong, policed barricades still
ohstruct the approaches to govern
ment buildings, and the huge iron
gates at the entrance to some Of
ficial buildings are kept closed.
This is done, the government an
nounced, because it fears Sim
Fein outbreak, but it is known also
that it considered the i'll effect boil
sheviki agitators might have on
the restive minds of the unem-
ployed.
