Strong Sentiment for Separate
Education Department
Discussed.
Special Despafcb TO THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.

Special Despatch 10 THE new YORK hLhAp'
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. g.. April 26. J
President Harding and the Cabinet took
cognizance to-day OF a serious diifer-
ence which has developed among the
Government bureaus which are expected
to be parts OF the proposed Department
OF Public Welfare. They learned that
considerable sentiment exists for tie
creation OF Department Of Education
particularly among teachers. who be-
lieve the Bureau of Education as al
present constituted should be enlarged
and not transferred merely to new de-
partment which would have many other
functions to perform. including public
health. r
The row had been brewing. II devel-
oped, for a considerable period. but IL
has become acute ssnce the recommen-
dntions which were presented In Presi-
dent Harding's message % Congress. in
which he urged creation Of a department
OF public welfare. This was followed
soon afterward by similar rscommen-
dation by Brig-Gen. Sawyer. White
House physician. who had beea asked by
the President TO make a study OF the
present Government organization par
ticularly. as IL referred to public well
fare.
Commissioner Claxton. Chief Of the
Bureau of Education, is leader in the
movement for a department of education
along with many educators who be-
80 an
should be on a par with other govern
mental activities. They insist it would
be q grave mistake for an enterprising
Government to brush the educational
functions aside, which they fear might
be done il public health and similar
matters were Jumped with the same de-
partment.
Ii is understood however. that Mr.
Harding and those close to him are
standing by their original position that
a Depa, tment OF Public Welfare is sum
cient Public health and public educa-
ton naturally. they say, fall in the same
category. and there would be saving
In common administration but not neces-
sarily curtailment OF educationai
work.
The question came up at the Cabinet
meeting whether the new department.
II authorized by Congress. which is not
questioned, should be presided over by
u woman. II has been said that MIR.
Harding probably would choose n
woman 10 head the Department. in rec
ognition of the increased activity of
women in public affairs Mr. Harding,
II is understood called attention to the
fact that there is nothing in the Consti-
tuition to Tyevent naming a woman TO
any Cabinet position.

RELIEF
FROM WAR DEBTS
Dr.. Rosen Believes U. S. Will
Cancel or POSTPONE as
ParIey Result.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN. November 9.-Belief that
the Washington conference will re-
suit In cancellation or postponement
OF payment Of the war debts owed to
the United States by the entente ma
tions is expressed by DR.. Friedrich
Rosen, former foreign minister, in an
article in the Deutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung. In this event, he believes.
the German reparations terms will
be revised.
Otherwise. he declares. he feels that
the Germans have nothing to hope
from the conference, as the manner
in which armament limitation has
been applied to Germany. instead Of
being step toward world peace, has
only laid the groundwork for future
conflicts with her avaricious neigh
every means possible to secure con-
troll of the great German industries.
Should England and the United
States. reach an agreement to limit
warahip construction, DR.. Rosen says,
the other nations, including Japan,
naturally would follow suit, but such
an understanding would have to fol-
low q renunciation OF the English
Japanese alliance. In that case Japan
would still be an important factor
in world politics. able to barter her
big price, but the European nations,
particularly France and Italy. would
not be seriously reckoned with.
DR.. Rosen sees an even greater
problem than naval limitations in
the reduction of land forces, which,
he thinks, now constitute the princi-
pal menace to peace.
