front porch. William II. Taft began
his conference with the President

Mr.. Taft came, II is understood, to
represent those who believe that GER

League Of Nations may be utilized in
the new Harding plan for a world
association. Having passed through
the trying period Of preparation for
the Presidential chair, which Senator
Harding now Is undergoing. Mr.. TAFT

with complete understanding and to
extend many helpful suggestions.
while the international situation
was cxhaustlvely dealt with. there
In reason TO believe that the makeup
of the Cabinet and other questions
also came in for attention. The
impending retirement of at least one
member of the Supreme Court OF
the United States has led to wide
discussion here OF tho possible Ap-
rointment of Mr.. Taft to vacancy
on the supreme bench. That dis
cussion has not brought forth any
official uttcrancc, however.

FARMERS BILL
TO Be VETOED
President Expected TO Heed
Houston's Objections to War
Finance Board.
by W. II. ATKINS,
International News Service.

President Wilson's veto of the
bill passed by Congress to revive
the War Finance Corporation to aid
farmers in export trade was pre-
dicted in reliable Government quar-
ters today. Belief that the Presi-
dent will refuse to sign the bill is
based upon the opposition Of the
Treasury, and the urgent recon-
mendations said TO have been made
to the White House that the meas
ure be blocked.
HOUSTON SEES EVIL.
Secretary OF the Treasury Houston
today expressed unalterable opposi
tion to the proposal, asserting that
II is fraught with danger 10 the ma
tons financial stability.
He contends that while operation OF
the finance corporation to back eX-
port shipments in still larger volume
might enable the farmers TO get What
the producers regard az a more rea-
sonable price for their products, II
would only provide temporary rem
cdy. would further expand the coun-
try's credit by more than $1,000. .00O,-
600, and would inevitably start an
other rise in the cost of living.
His main objection is that it would
cause a arrangement in the Govern.
ments settled fiscal policy for this
and future years. .-... ....
These arN some of the big objcc-
tions framed by the Treasury. and
said to have been laid before the
President, as reasons for rejecting
the war finance corporation bill:
NO DIRECT LOANS.
Farmers could not receive any
direct loans. or benefit directly. "a
revival of the corporations export
functions would provide loaning ar
rangements solely for exporters
These loans could only be made to
exporters who could negotiate ade-
quate foreign securities. Handicaps
over foreign buyers in furnishing sat
isfactory security would place insu-
perable obstacles.
Europe is buying more now than
she can pay for, and the running up
of a still higher American favorable

BLACK AND TANS WILL
CONCENTRATE ON COAST

MANCHESTER, England, Dec. "a
A new method OF dealing with the
Irish problem is suggested in the
Manchester Guardian. 1t is the with
drawal of both the Black and Tsns
and the royal Irish Constabulary
from the south and west of Ireland
and concentrating at important points
on the coast. A naval patrol should
prevent smuggling and a strong gar
rison will be maintained in north
eastern Ulster.
Politically this would, OF course, in
volve handing over the greatest part
of Ireland to the Irish. This is frankly
admitted. The proposal would be
completely misunderstood unless one
gave the reasoning which led up 10
IL in a military sense and the arEu-
ment by which the objections are met.
This proposal is made by Maj Gen.
Sir John Davidson, c. f., ID. 5. O. (for-
mcrly chief of the operations STAFF at
G.. .. II. In France), by Captain Coote
and Capt. Walter Elliott, NJ. c., all OF
them coalition members OF the House
of Commons. On the military side,
Sir John Davidson's authority is as
high as one can ask for a proposal
which has been very earnestly thought
out both strategically and politically.
Sir John Davidson is Coalition
Unionist. Captain Coote Coaliuonist
Liberal and Captain Elliot a Coalition
Unionist.
Captain Elliot and Captain Coote
have striven along with several OF the
younger Coalition members to get the
government to turn the Irish bill into
more generous and genuine measure
of autonomy.
DISCIPLINE DESTROYED.
The situation is this: II Is known
that the government OF Ireland bull
will not be adopted or worked by the
south and west OF Ireland. The 10
litical and military consequences ~
this must therefore be faced. II the
government IL to go on, as at present,
with scattered military and police
forces all over the country, the pres
ont regime of murders on the one side
and reprisals on tho other must con-
tinue. To put Il tcmperately, there arc
tho gravcst military and political rsl-
sons against this.
To begin with the military reasons.
The present regime is costly in men
and money, and is tactically unsound
on purely military grounds. These
scattered posts arc condemned by all
military authorities. who are con
vinccd that some policy OF concontra-
tion is necessary. Further. tho de-
struction OF discipline which repris-
ais represent IL n great matter OF
anxiety to soldiers, who cannot bear
