v. ]. BRYAN AND
BORAH CONFER
On PEACE MOVE
Views of Comnoner and
Senator Unchanged, It
Was Learned Later.
Significance Given Call
Because of His Recent
Visit to Marion, Ohio.

Washington, Dec 22-(By the Asso-
ciated Press William J. Bryan. who
visited President Elect Harding q,
Marion recently, held lengthy confer
ence Wednesday with Senator Borah, a
leader among Republican opponents to
the League of Nations.
The purpose of Mr. Bryans visit here
it was stated reliably, was to discuss
possibilities of securing AN agreement
or reaching some common ground in the
movement for maintenance of world
peace.
1t was said that the views of Mr..
Bryan and the Idaho senator both were
unchanged. 1t was indicated that Sem
ator Borah remained implacable toward
any international alliance.
Visit Has Significance
Significance was gwen Mr.. Bryan S
call upon Senator Borah because of the
formers very recent talk with Senator
Harding and the former cabinet pre-
mier's expressions, after his Marion
visit, of hopefulness for solution of the
world peace problem. Senator Borah
also discussed the subject with Senator
Harding early this month.
Information obtained here from sena-
tors and others who have conferred with
the president elect is that Senator Hard
ing has formulated in his mind only the
broad general outline of an arrangement
for peace and has not yet come to a
consideration of details OF any plan.
Some who have visited the president
elect, however, state that he apparently
does not contemplate absolute discard
of the treaty of Versailles, but is con-
sidering Incorporation of certain feat
ures, at least, in developing his peace
policy.
New Set OF Reservations
Among the expedents said to be under
consideration at Marion is adoption of
d new set of reservations removing all
question of American obligation and ex-
pressing merely American adherence to
princpules believed helpful toward pre-
venting war.
Establishment of world court and
development of a new code of interna
tional law and procedure are other fea
lures of Senator Harding's thought, ac-
cording to word brought here from the
Marion conferences. Difficulties of
establishing a world court or substitut-
Nations, however, are being discussed
privately among senators.
That the presidents has not vet
indicated, nor determined finally in his
own mind the makeup of his cabinet
also is word brought here by returning
Marion visitors Selection of secre-
tary of state, it was said. appears to be
Mr.. Harding's most difficult problem.
Charles Evans Hughes it was stated by
one close in the president -electss con-
fidence. is being considered very seri-
ously for the premiership.
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania. also
mentioned for the post, today denied
reports that he had conferred with Mr.
Harding regarding the cabinet place or
had advised Mr.. Hughes to accept an
offer Friends of Senator Knox who
have urged his appointment also said
that they had not returned from Marion
with the definite conviction that Mr.
Knox would not be chosen.

HARDING NEAR
SOLUTION Of
BIC PROBLEMS
World Peace Plan Based
on United Moral Influ-
ence of Powers, Aim.
Cabinet Timber Pains
takingly Sorted to Mar
row Field by Senator.

Marion, Ohio, Dec. Although
many important decisions remain to be
made, it became known Wednesday
night that President Elect Harding's S
series of conferences here have brought
him much nearer the solution of the big
problems of his administration.
A world peace plan. based on the
united moral influences of the great
powers, is taking more or less concrete
form in his mind as he gathers advice
on the subject from every viewpoint.
Available Material.
Available material for the cabinet has
been sorted painstakingly and although
no appointments have been offered. the
field Of possibilities has been narrowed
sharply. Definite announcement Of
selections for two or three of the most
important portfolios may be made early
IN the new year.
On the problem Of reorganizing the
elaborate executive machinery at Wash
ington, the plans of the president elect
are less complete, but he at least has
gathered much information and advice
and has settled upon central scheme
Of procedure. He proposed to build
MS cabinet from the very beginning about
the idea of a readjusted jurisdiction
among the respective executive depart
ments.
Diplomacy TO BE Used y.
Roughly, the world peace plan as il
now shapes up is understood to contem-
plate diplomatic exchange Uith Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan soon
after the new administration begins, on
March 4, asking that they consider the
possibilities of an agreement between
them and the United States to exert q
united moral force for world peace: It
is not expected that the proposal VIII
suggest in any respect a political alli-
ance.
What the next step might be must
depend, of course, upon the willingness
of the four great powers to cooperate
IT they second such a move, a diplo-
n attic conference at Washington is
among the possibilities. There would
be determined such questions as the
of The Hague tribunal and
workable features of the Versailles
league in weaving the texture Of the
new covenant.
Weighs Qualifications
From the first, the question Of the
more important cabinet selections has
been bound up with the world peace
and Mr. Harding has weighed
the qualifications Of possible secretar-
les of state with particular concern.
Some of the president elects imme-
date, intimate friends believe that to
relieve the public mind of some Of its
present uncertainty he may announce
his appointments to the state and treas
ury departments within the next few
weeks and then build the remainder Of
the cabinet upon them. For the treas
ury position, speculation has been less
definite but Charles 9. Dawes, Of Chi
cago, formerly Senator John w Weeks
of Massachusetts, George NJ. Reynolds
Of Chicago. and Charles y. Hilles. Of
New York. have been named frequently
as possibilities.
Wednesday night Mr.. Harding repeat
ID that no cabinet position had been of
sered to any one and it was indicated
hat at least another week would elapse |
before any decision was made

Situation Controlled
1t was evident long before the vote
was taken that supporters Of the meas
ure, designed to protect some twenty
odd farm products for a en-months
period, had the situation well in hand
But Representative Rainey, Democrat
of Illinois, leading the opposition, opened
a bitter attack which increased in in
tensity as the iebate wore on.

the measure, while the Republicans with
loud roars of mos" sent his proposed

publicans supported him in his attack.
bat a score of his own party turned
from their traditional stand against a
high tariff to join the majority.
Glass Legislation
Opposition speakers charged the
measure would send the cost of living
higher, and branded it as class legisla-
ton Defenders of the bill, on the other
hand, said it would save the agricultural
industry.
Chairman Fordney, of the ways and
means committee, which reported the
measure, in opening debate declared the
measure was not scientific and admitted
it was hastily drawn, but asserted that
it was the best that could be had az
this time.
Representative Gardner, Democrat
Texas, speaking in support OF the biil,
said he felt it was the only way IN
which congress could extend relief SO
urgently needed by the farmers. Repre-
sentative Madden, Republican, Illinois.
however. assailed his colleagues for

hibitive listing costs"

said he saw in this bill determined
effort to divide the Democratic party, to
make members of that party turn their
backs on every principle Of taxation for
which the party has stood in its whole
history"
Warns of Retaliation.
In his attempts at amendment, Mr.,
Rainey sought to show that the bill tT
the most part carried higher rates thaA
the Payne -Aldrich tariff. He also warn
ed of retaliatory tariffs and embargoes
by other nations
In this connection amendment by Rep
resentative Olney, Democrat, of Massa-
chusetts, to admit wool in transit from
Australia and South America at the time

Representative Walsh, Republican.
Massachusetts, in opposing the rate Of
seven cents pound on cotton manu-.
factures, said the cotton industries Of
New England were at a standstill now
and predicted that an additional duty
would result in further unemployment
through abandonment of plans to reopen
mills.
Senators Hear Debate.
During the day number of senator's
entered the house chamber, and their
presence led to a report that they were
prepared to talk the bill to death IN
the senate. Many Republicans said
Wednesday night they were almost con-
yinced that the bill would not be passed
Ns-. Fordney said in the course Of the
debate, however, that he hoped to see
congress at the extra session substitute
for this bill relief measure which would
remain in effect until scientific tariff
schedule could be worked out.
II expect" he continued, TO see con
gress re-enact either the Dingley or the
