Independents" and democrats that

formed to defeat the sales tax The
determined opposition against the
sales tax has broken out suddenly in
both houses.

STRONG BANK POSITION
Permanent Recovery Must
Wait Upon the Harvest of

By PAUL r. MALLON

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.--A move
ment for national conference to
solve the nations housing and high
rents problems was started here to-
day.
Senator King, Democrat, Utah.,
sent letter to President Harding
pleading that he issue call for del
egates from all parts of the country
to assemble and find relief for the
acute building situation.
"The president could summon rep
resentatives of banking interests,
labor and the public, who could launch
huge building drive for new con-
stluction of homes" King told the
United Press in an exclusive inter
view.
Bankers would be glad to lend the
money to finance such national pro-
iect. Representative of labor would
jump at such chance to employ men
who are out of work.
"The public could play the inter
ested third party in the negotiations
and see that decision is reached to
stifle this great national peril.
II believe such a conference would
not only smother large portion of
the depression now eXtant, but would
alleviate the unemployment situa-
ton.
The nations jobless could be put
to work to build homes for the ma
tion's homeless; the banks could put
in circulation money that is now tied
up; building which is now at it's low
est ebb, would be stimulated and the
result would be g solution of the va
rious difficulties which now are be-
fore us"

Would Like To Be Specific
With Respect To The New
Shantung Compromise
HUGHES.BALFOUR WAY
Traffic Manager May Mean
Much or Little According
To The Interpretation
By A. L. BRADFORD

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - The
Peking government has asked the
Chinese delegation for more details
on the "scope" OF the Hughes-Balfour
compromise scheme for settling tie
Shantung railway question.
These details have been forwarded
and unless unforeseen complications
develop the delegation expects to an
nounce early next week final ad-
justment of this vital problem.
To make diplomatic show OF not
yielding too soon, however, the dele
cation is claiming that it has "some
hesitancy' over the last compromise
centering around the traffic man
agership and accountancy Of the rail-
roads.
China has decided to accept the last
so-called Hughes-Balfour compromise
plan for solution of this problem, a
plan with Japan previously has indi-
Gated her willingness to accept. High
quarters in Chinese delegation are
authority for this statement.
This seems definitely to clear away
the air Of oriental mystery and in
trigue which has clouded the Shan
tung negotiations for the past weeks
and also to dismiss the spectre that
has recently arisen in Washington OF
China bolting the conference because
of the Shantung question.
AS outlined in United Press dis
patch Wednesday, which announced
exclusively that the Shantung ques
tion sis on the verge of settlement.
the plan of settlement is:
"First, that China be allowed tt

Italian Cardinals Divided Into
Groups Which Will Pre-

TO BE POPE LEO XIV IF
One Candidate Has Gone So
Far AS to Select Pont;-
ficial Name
By HENRY WOOD

Cniteu TfesS OCall CORES pOnQenC
ROME, Jan. 28.-A compromise
candidate will be the next supreme
pontiff of the Catholic church, it was
believed here today. Italian cardi-
mails, who will probably be in the ma
jority, have divided irreconcilably in
to two groups, meter of which can Sc.
cure the necessary two thirds major
lty at the moment.
The two well defined groups-the
intransigeants, who would elect Merry
del Val. opposed to reconciliation
with Italy, and the group favoring
Casparri, cardinal camerlengo, which
would effect closer relations with the
governnent-were apparently evenly
balanced today, with each seeking to
gain strength before the test comes
V ith the beginning of the conclave on
Thursday.
Cardinal Gasparri has told his init
rate acquaintance that if elected he
will take the name "Pope Leo XIV"
according to the Popolo Romano.
Charges that the Jesuits were seek
ing to control the Papal elections
were indignantly denied by Father
Ledochowski, head of that order,
fnowa as the "Black Pope" today.
TIE Merry del Val group has sug-
gcsted that Cardinal Gasparri, acting
in his capacity as cardinal camerlen-
go. temporary holder Of the Papal au-
thority, exceeded his powers when he
Notified Premier Bonomi of the death
of Benedict. If unable to elect Merry
del Val, the intransigeant group was
expected to throw it's support to Car
dinal laurent, who also would op-
pose reconciliation with the state.
