Washington, ID. c.. Dec. 2o.-An-
drew Miller was nominated for Unit
ed States judge yesterday. 1t had
been expected that his nomination
would go to the senate some day last

not prevent Miller's nomination. 1t

Miller to have a personal interview
with him at the White House. sena-

President Harding Gives
This as His View Of Four
Power Pacific Pact.

Wash :ngton, Dec. 20.-CBy the As
sociated Press. .)-President Harding,
it was said today at the White House,
does not regard the four power Pa
cific treaty as covering the principal
islands Of the Japanese empire.
X This view which is contrary to that
voiced repeatedly by official spokes-
men Of the American delegation, was
described at the White House as the
presidents personal opinion, not
based on consultation with other
members of his Administrations.
Mr.. Harding was said to believe
that the treaty no more applies to
the islands constituting japan prop
er than it does to the mainland Of the
United States. In his view, it was
said, the agreement only covers island
Possessions in the Pacific. while the

It was unworthy of Mr.. Griffith to
suggest that the Dahl desired privacy

and three against it.
Mrs. O'Callaghan concluded her ap.
peal for the rejection of the treaty
by urging those members who had
not yet made up their minds how tc
vote, to follow the lead of the WON,
an of the Dali.
Finian Lynch. one of the secrctar,
