CABINET TANGLES
DISTURB SENATORS

Information reaches Washington
telling of pressure being brought to
bear on President-elect Harding not
to appoint A. W. Mellon. the Pitts
burgh banker. slated for Secretary of
the Treasury. and to choose for that
post A. v. Decker of Minneapolis.
president of the Minneapolis federal
reserve board district.
1t is declared that behind this move
ment are several republican political
leaders. active in the last campaign,
who are fearful of the effect of the
determined drive" being made against
Mr.. Mellon in some quarters. Mr.
Mellon has been assailed by leading
democratic newspaper on account of his
financial interests.
Anti-SaIoOn League Attack.
More recently he was attacked by
the Anti-Saloon League OF New York
for his one-time holding of large
blocks of liquor distiilery stocks, but
which have been transferred to others
Mr.. Decker. the man said now to be
put forward in lieu of Mr. Mellon. is a
well known banker of the western
country. with a wide acquaintance In
the east. il is said
Senators are not a little concerned
over the grapevine" reports from ST
Augustine. indicating uncertainty in
regard to several cabinet positions
which they had thought were prac-
ticaIly assured, showing to their
minds that Mr.. Harding is having
hard sledding' in assembling his
cabinet timber. One report brought
back by colleague, little more cir
cumstantial than the grapevine
news which trickles in. is that the
secretaryship of the interior, for
which Senator Fall was picked. and
the postmaster generalship. with VIII
Hays as the prospective incumbent
are again up in the air" and that
Herbert Hoover's selection is con-
ceded one day and disputed the next.
VIII Hays Position.
Signs are outcropping of a move
10 get Will Hays out of the chairman =
ship of the national committee. his
friends in Washington think. and they
believe this effort bears on the re-
ported uncertainty over the post :
master generalship. A fortnight ago
it was practically certain that Mr..
HAYS would retain his chairmanship
along with his prospective cabinet
post.
Since then a drive has been started
on him by some of the politicians
close to Mr., Harding. who desire TO
put another man at the head of the
rational committee. Their assump-
tion. apparently. is that if the issue
were drawn he would take the cabinet
position. but his friends say he may
take neither If he is shown that the
President-elect prefers to name an
other man for national chairman.

1t is said in school circles that DR..
Simon prepared his letter of resigna-
ton several weeks ago and was on
the verge of submitting il to the
board. His friends. however. it is
reported, persuaded him to withhold
it for several weeks.
DR.. Simon's successor as head of
the school governing body likely will
be DR.. Henry B. Learned, now vice
president. 1t is rumored that Edwin
G. Graham, one of the newest MEM
bers on the board, may be given the
position. as it is the desire of some
school authorities to have a business
man as president. Mr.. Ora ham is a
business man and the head of the Ma

The report of DIR. Simon's contem-
plated resigning as president of the

PREM|ERS DECIDE
TO ALL0T TURKEY
MORE TERRITORY
Lloyd George and BRAND
Will Ask for Revision of
Treaty of Sevres.
GREEKS LIKELY TO LOSE
SECTION HELD IN THRACE
Council of League of Nations Meets
at Paris to Take Up Impor-
tant Questions.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, February 21.-Revision OF
the treaty of Sevres. so as to give
Turkey additional territory in Thrace,
now occupied by the Greeks. was de-
clded upon by Mr.. Lloyd George and
NJ BRAND today in consultations pre-
cedlng the near east conference here.
This decision before becoming effec-
tive, however. requires the approval
of the allied colleagues of the French
premier and the British prime min
ister
According to this Franco-British
agreement, the frontier line in Thrace
will be moved westward, extending
from Enos on the Aegean to Midia on
the Black sea. This would take from
Greece one-fourth of the territory she
now occupies there and add it to the
Constantinople district.
The Turks also under this arrange
ment are to be allowed representation
on the commission controlling Con-
stantinople.
The proposals thus formulated by
the two premiers will be submitted to
the conference as whole.
See Agreement in Greece.
1t is understood that Mr.. Lloyd
George and NJ. BRAND arrived at the
opinion as result of their consulta-
tions that the Greek question might
be susceptible Of a much speedier set
tlement than had been previously
thought.
The premiers' impression was that
the Greeks would be satisfied with
the proposals to be made regarding
the Smyrna district, but that settle
ment of the question of Thrace would
be more difficult.
Agreement between Great Britain,
France and Italy for alterations of
the treaty favorable to the Turks
seemed probable here today. it was
currently reported.
1t is known that a section of the
British cabinet supports changes in
the treaty which would favor the
Turks.

CAN'T FINISH LOAN PROBE.
Senate Committee Has Not Enough
Time to Complete Investigation.

The impossibility of concluding at
! this session of Congress the investi-
| CATION of loans made to foreign gov.
| ernments before and after the armi-
stice was indicated when the S.nate
! judiciary committee met today to
| continue its examination OF Secre-
tary Houston of the Treasury De-
partment.
At the outset Secretary Houston
informed the committee that the
Treasury does not regard the armi-
stice as causing a situation which
would prevent ii from making ad-
vances under the law, and he called
attention to the law under which the
loans were made providing that the
war should be considered at an end
only when the President issued a
proclamation to that effect.
Secretary Houston made il plain
! that the governments could not use
the money for any purpose they de-
sired, but Were bound by agreement
to conrine its expenditure in a way
the United States approved. He said
check on all loans was made by
the Treasury Department to see that
the money was properly used.
Senator Shields, democrat, Ten
lished statement by former Secretary
McAdoo of the Treasury that he had
opposed foreign loans for two years.
Secretary Houston read from the an
nua1 report OF 1918. Whlcn showed
that on November Is. 1918, credits
had been established by Mr.. McAdoo
totaling $S.111.976.666.
From the report" the Secretary
said, it was apparent that the Sec
retary believed that aid would have
to be extended for a considerable
time, even after peace and during the
period of reconstruction. He said he
would come before Congress seeking
legislation for that purpose.
Senator Reed said he had studied
Mr.. McAdoo's testimony. and 'it went
even further than Secretary Houstop
has stated" .s
Il was rather surprised at the state
ment I saw i'm the papers," he added.
Secretary Houston then said he was
inclined to think Mr.. McAdoo was la
boring "under a misrepresentation"
"He imagines that new loans havs
teen made That is untrue" Mr.. Hous-
ton declared
Secretary Houston was excused by
the committee after he had submitted
a huge mass of correspondence relat-
ing to the loan negotiations. Assist
ant Secretary Kelly was placed at the
committees disposal for the remain
der of its investigation.
