HARDING ABANDONS
EARLY SELECTION OF
CABINET MEMBERS
Finds Task Difficult;
Not Prepared to Com
init Himself; Announ-
cement in February.

Marion Ohio, Jan. 19.-The
task Of selecting a cabinet has
been found so difficult by Pres
ident-elect Harding that he has
given up his plan Of making
early definite selections for two
or three Of the more important
portfolios.
Without indicating the nature of the
complications the president-elect said
wednesday night that after several
weeks of consultation, he was not dis
posed to commit himself to any one
cabinet place until he was ready to
make final selec.1ons for all. He said
that he considered his difficulties only
normal manifestations of personal and
factional cross currents.
Changes Plans.
His attitude generally was accepted

inauguration.

ito name two or three cabinet places
in advance to permit the parties named
to take up informally the work. But
have found it SO difficult to fit in an
administrative organization that I am
not disposed to make definite tenders
and have men accept, until l have
made up complete organization.
Doesn't Lose Sleep.
There is no semblance of any
marked drive either for or against.
either in support or in opposition to
any individual. There is the natural
current of both political and personal
recommendations and the natural
cross currents of persons. individuals
and factional opposition. It is all nor
nal and does not keep me awake
nights.
Il am thinking of getting an organi-
,ation best fitted to serve the coun-
.ry. I am partisan. I am going to
lave Republican cabinet. But no
selection will be made because of par

or the best service of the country"
Plan Partisan Cabinet.
The emphasis placed by the pres
dent-elect on his desire for 'sRepub-
ican cabinet" was taken to have been
eference to stories that he would dis
egard the usual method of giving cab
net positions to those who had been |
ctive in party politics and might |

Mr.. Harding does not expect to re-

ATTACKED AGAIN
Discriminatory in It's
Treatment of All Ma

of Italy Paper.

Leghorn, Italy, Jan. 19.-The
third Moscow International

socialists had been prevented
from so doing.
"The communists" he said, "ac-
cused us of opportunism, but where is
there more opportunism than in
France, where Cachin, Sembat and
Thomas supported the war and re-
manned in the cabinet.

party was weak and withdrawal of his

powerless while the French socialists
