Harding's Message to Urge
Cessation of Loans

ST. AUGUSTINE Fla, Feb. l5.-President Hard
ing it is understood, will urge in his first message to
Congress complete cessation of loans to foreign gov
enments at least until the United States Government
deficit is substantially reduced.
This was revealed here after Mr.. Harding had dis
cussed with Senators Wadsworth of New York. Watson
of Indiana and Others for reducing the pre-
vaing intolerable taxation.
The Washington Times informant also said that the
new President will insist that far from permitting
England France, and other nations to sepudate their
debts to the United States they SHALL promptly
possible make good the interest and show disposition,
at least to cancel the principal is possible
The President elect has been investigating the $685.
100000 loan to the Kerensky Russian regime. He is
not disposed to try to force immediate payment In
whole or in part But he is determined that all loans
made before during since the war shall be repaid
The President elect has collected vast amount of
detail to money lent to foreign powers during the
Wilson Administration. He has found that, were
good proportion of it to back into the United
States Treasury, it would Nlp much toward solving
the perplexing problem as to how much added revenue
must be exacted and clear the atmosphere to what
kind of a tariff shall be imposed on imports.
Those who have visited Mr.. Harding say that he
strongly disapproves Secretary Houstons purpose to
lend billion more to governments abroad and sin
cerely hopes that II will not be carried out.
In any event no such loan will be tolerated by the
Harding Administration This is stated the authority
of Republican national leader, who consulted the
President elect in the weekend.

BoatsWain on Mayflower Scents
PoIt When Sailor.
Offers Bribe.

On the heels of rumors of a plot
to blow up the Washington Navy
Yard and several naval vessels, in
cluding the Presidential yacht.
Mayflower, a seaman was placed
under arrest today, the Navy De-
partment announced.
Navy Department officials stated
that the seaman had asked permis-
sion of boatswain to be allowed to
20 off duty from the Mayflower at
a certain hour during the night,
stating that he wished to bring a
package" aboard and intimating
that he would be willing to pay a
sum Of money for the privilege. IL
was learned that he was to meet a
civilion at an appointed spot In
Washington.
JUSTICE DEPT. TAXES HAND.
Secret Service men were called In
and went to the spot where the sea-
man was to meet the civilian. They
found a note there stating that the
civilian would be there the following
evening to meet the seaman. The
sailor was then placed under arrest.
The Department of Justice is max
ing an investigation OF the case.
Officials OF the Navy Department
stated they were at loss to explain
why any one should desire To blow
up the Mayflower, but stated that per-
sistent reports of such plot had
been forwarded to the department.

rixid investigation W Secret sServi'-e
operatives and members of the police
force.
Certain operatives OF the Depart
mept of Justice and members Of the
police force today are positive that
but for the alertness of someone at
the navy yard, it might today be
smoldering mass of ruins with a loss
running into the millions and that
the Mayflower might be lying at the
bottom of the Anacostia river, trib-'
utary Of the Potomac.
A tremendous effort was made to
prevent publicity. 1t was learned to-
day that shortly after midnight Fri
day. word was flashed to Police Head
quarters and the Secret Service that
a plot was on foot to destroy the navy
yard and several naval auxiliaries sta
toned there, including the Presiden-
tial yacht Mayflower.
Within a few minutes the navy yard
was surrounded on the land side by
Gordon of police and detectives and on
the water by the Washington Harbor
Police, and motor launches belonging
to the yard were speeding in and out
of slips and up and down in front of
wharves.
BY noon Saturday every inch of the
navy yard itself and the ships lying
there we're being searched by nearly
200 Secret Service agents and a patrol
of enlisted men stationed at the yard.
Nothing suspicious was found by
the hunters, and the police and Secret
Service men were withdrawn at day
light. but the invetigation was con-
tinued and the arrest today resulted.
