lation by Congress also is known to
be a subject in which Great Britain
and most Of her dominions are vitality
Interested. The British government
is understood to be disturbed lest the
proposed new tariffs operate against
Great Britain's trade with the United
States and thus make it more difficult
for that country to pay off in goods its
debt to the United States.
Proposed tariffs on Canadian wheat
also are Of great concern to the Cana
dian government, it is said, and this
subject also may be one of those which
will be discussed by the ambassador
with Premier Lloyd George and Earl
Curzon.
Another question now occupying the
British government is that Of the
treatment accorded the property Of it's
citizens in Mexico, especially those
holding oil and mineral lands:
In another exceptionally we'll posted
diplomatic quarter it was learned that
the departure of the Ambassador for
conferences in London was due to the
desire on the part Of the British gov
eminent to take advantage of the pres
emit lull in political activities in this
country, pending the entry into office
of Mr.. Harding, to discuss number of
two countries.
Among the moro important of these
may be mentioned, first, the oil ques-
ton, and in particular Secretary
Colby's recent note relative to equality
of right in Mesopotamia and other
fields under mandate; second, DISPOSE
ton of the former German cables, on
which subject the recent cable confer
ence in Washington Vailed to reach any
solution; third, disarmament; fourth,
the negotiations between Mr.. Shide-
hara, the Japanese Ambassador at
Washington, and Mr.. Morris, the
American Ambassador at Toxic, who
is now in this country, and the Ameri-
can attitude concerning the Japanese
question in California;; fifth, the Irish
question, in so far as it affects the
United States, and the activities of the
Sim Fein in this country; sixth, the
future policies of the Harding Admin

League of Nations and other European
problems, and, seventh, the question

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.--Aunt Alice
Robertson, Oklahoma's new Congress-
woman, slipped into Washington Friday
and for ten hours was scarcely noticed
until she became, in her own words,
camera fodder" and Copy"
In the home of an old acquaintance
of her days of clerkdom in the Offices
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs to-day
she sat before the fire and declared
that she had NO program, had made no
promises to any of her newly found
constituents and that after she departs
for Muskogee she is going to let the old
cat die before she gets into the swing
by returning to the capital.
Her brief visit here, she explained,
was made to arrange for quarters she
will occupy after March 4 and to look
over the available offices in the House
Office building, to make sure she will
get good one.
When she was asked why she, an
active anti-suffragist before the pas
sage OF the Nineteenth Amendment,
had held her first conference of i'm
portance in Washington with Miss Alice
Paul, leader of the National Woman's
party here. she asserted she had been
trapped by the "womanly wiles" of the
party's representatives. She had mere
ly visited the headquarters, she said
to regret her inability to be listed as
speaker at the party's national con-
vention February IT,

Prime Minister and the Secretary Of
State for Foreign Affairs. According
to present intentions, he will return to
Washington in February"
During the absence Of Sir Auckland
r. Leslie Craigie, first secretary Of the
embassy, will 'lact as ambassador. The
fact that Lady Geddes and their chill

the statement that Sir lAuckland's alb

she never travels on Sunday. During
her campaign she picked up her poll

quit on the previous Saturday night,
while her manager spent Sunday in

Aunt Alice has sold the restaurant

She insisted she had no promises to

those who already have approached her
regarding patronage and postoffices she
has calmly recited that beans which

right to exclude O'Callahan for enter

Arguing on the question of wartime
powers, counsel for O'Callahan, in a
brief submitted to the Secretary of La
Dor, contended that their client came
within the meaning Of an executive or
der of the President defining seamen
as those who follow seamanship as an
occupation or who have signed ships
articles.
They pointed out in this connection
that the Lord Mayor had been employed
as a seaman on the voyage to the

was accepted by Secretary of Labor
