COUNCIL OF L. OF n. MAY
SEND ENVOY TO HARDING

Paris. Jan. 5.-Individual members OF
the council of the league OF nations have
been talking informally among them
selves on ;he advisability Of sending a
special Intermediary or envoy to Mr..
Harding Immediately after his inaugu-
ration as president OF the United States
TO present the case of the league Of ma
tions and to urge upon him The difficult
tics which European countries would ex-
perience in abandoning the present
league and setting up new. form of as
sociation OF nations.
The principal grounds for this conten-
tion are that tho league covenant is a
part Of the peace treaty which gives the
league administration over the Sarre val
ley, the Danzis region. and a number Of
mandates and plcbiscites. The view IS
held among members OF tho French min
istry that the solidity OF the treaty H.
self would be shaken IL the leagIe rart
Of it were abandoned.

LLOYD GEORGES SUGGESTION
CONSIDERED 1MPRAcrICABLE

Washington, Jan 5.-Prennier Lloyd
Georges suggestion that President Will
son direct the American high commits
sioner at Constantinople on the question
of mediation in Armenia is regarded by
American officials as impracticable since
such a course would give to the presi-
dents action an official character he de-
sires to avoid.
Lloyd Georges suggestion, which was
addressed to Paul Hymans, president of
the council of the league OF nations, has
been transmitted to the president, but it
has been regarded here as little more
than an interesting sidelight on the prob
lem since it was made prior to the an
nouncement that the president had named
Henry Morgenthau as his representative
and asked the council for instructions as
to procedure This request remains un-
/ answered.

sentative James F. Burke Of Pittsburgh.

basis upon which the committee could
build, as hte idea was a new one and he
thought worthy of consideration.
Mr.. Burke, who said he spoke for the
Pittsburgh clearing house and the cham
Der Of commerce, vigorously opposed the
bill, declaring it was correct illustration
of the "'haphazard manner in which legis-
lation is thrown upon congress and final
ly upon the American people"

serve as a penalty on savings, and that
this alone would cause its defeat
