As has been stated. M. Millerand has no ob- jection to this course, provided any negotiation with the soviet govern ment is excluded.
 Interest centers in the Turkish de- cision. Public sentiment is England against allowing the Turks to remain in Constantinople is growing rapidly, and the question will arise whether it will be possible to revise the supreme councils decision after it has already been announced officially throughout India by the Indian authorities. The secretary of India, F.. $. Montagu. and the Indian government are being blamed for undue hastes in this mat ter.

[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-Protest against the action of the house ap- propriation committee in cutting the foreign trade estimates of the depart meht of commerce from S1,65S,0 900 to s490,00 was sent by the acting secre- tary of the chamber of commerce of the United States today to every mem Der of the house. The effect of the passage of the appropriation bill, as reported. Secretary Alexander has said. will be the elimination of the com mercial attache system and curtail ment of the services of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.
 No more inopportune time for the curtailment of the services of com mercial information could be found,' the congressman were told in the let ter, which-w signed by D. A. Skinner. While the other countries are extend ing and enlarging their facilities for securing foreign trade the letter as- serts that American business men ap- parently are to be hindered in obtain ing their share of international trade.
 The bureau of foreign and domestic commerce." the congressman were told. has served to promote a broad and sound trade with anticipation by manufacturers and merchants of mod crate and small size. It is needless to add that the comparatively few large industrial organizations of the country are themselves able to maintain such systems of services of their own as they may require abroad.''
 The services of American commer- cial attaches stationed in foreign countries would be terminated. on June 90 if the committee recommendation is accepted, Secretary Alexander re- gently stated.

 The Smith-Towner bill. creating an additional federal cabinet position, has caused much speculation among dele gates as to whether a man or woman should be chosen for the post in the event the bill passes.
 Among those mentioned as candi- dates for the position in case the bill becomes a law, is Mrs. Mary c. Brad ford, superintendent of public instruc ton for Colorado and past president of the National Educational associa- ton.
 Mrs. Bradford when asked her opin- ion as to whether or not demand for a woman secretary of education would be made, said:
 Whether a man or woman HIS this important position is of small moment.
 Favors Creation of Office
 "It has been said one reason women have lent their adherence to the crea tion of a department of education is that they intend to urge the appoint nent of woman as the first secre0ry of education. Personally, I do not be- licye this is so.
 While all thinking women would be g lad to see as first appointee a woman fitted by nature, training and expert ence to discharge the functions of such ar office. yet I do not believe that ,his hone has motiyated the action of the hundreds of thousands of American women who have il1do-sed the bill.

PREDICT SPEEDY IF RAIL
 BILL IN SENATE
Compromise Measure Will Be Laid Before Upper Legislative Body Today -Rumors Of Presidential Veto Circulate Through Unofficial Circles
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.- Final fight on the railroad bill, 10 months in the making, will shift tomorrow to the senate, with leaders predicting it's speedy enactment by an overwhelming vote.
 The conference report, a compro- mise whipped together from the funda- mentals of the Cummins and Esch bills, fresh from the house with clean margin of 99 votes, will be laid be- fore the senate immediately after the reading of Washingtons' farewell ad- dress. It will have the right of way over the peace treaty and all other measures, and while the senate works according to it's own fancy, it could concur with the lower branch in half an hour or hold up the bill by fili- bustering methods until March l, the date fixed by President Wilson for re- turn of the roads to private control.
 Anticipate Little Opposition
 But having come through the house. admittedly the danger point in the view of advocates of the measure. the general opinion among senators to- night was that no serious opposition would develop and that the law under which the roads will attempt to work out their own salvation after the long period of federal control would be in the hands of the president by the mid ele of the week.
 As is always the case with impor- tant Legislation, there was wide dis cussion today over the possibility of the wrecking of the bill by a presi dential veto. At the same time there was considerable interest in the meet ing tomorrow of the general commit teemen of all the railway labor organ izations to discuss the presidents pro- posaI for settlement of wage griev- ances.
 The date of the conference had no direct bearing on the plan of Sena- tor. Cummins for calling up the rail road bill Organized labor made it's fight in the house. with varying sue cess, according to the individual view of members. While there still was much talk about further efforts, de- signed to reach the senate, there were no indications that organizd labor hoped to sway the senate to the point of defeating all railroad legislation.
 Democratic Opposition Surprise
 Few members of the senate or house were willing to go so far IS to pre- dict that the bill might be vetoed.
 There was no doubt that the big democrat vote cast against the bill in the house was a surprise to republican leaders and even to many democrats. who had preached that in framing railway reorganization legislation. partisanship should not figure.
 When the conference report is pre- sented to the senate tomorrow, Sena- tor Cummins. chairman of the confer ees will make a brief statement and urge consideration
