Harding Selections
For Funding Board
To Be CHALLENGED
Democrats Demand Repre-
sentation; Say Congress
Members Are Not Eligible
to Commissions of Sort

From The Trib1ne's Toshiaoton Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22,-Opposition
to the confirmation of the men appoint
ed by President Harding to serve on
the Foreign Debt Funding Commits
sion was forecast in the Senate to-day.
The appointces OF the President are
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon, Sec,
! retary of Commerce Hoover, Secretary
OF State Hughes. Senator Smoot and
Represen entatiye Burton.
Senator Simmons and other Demo
cratic Senators criticized the failure OF
the President to name q Democrat or
the commission and make it bipartisan.
Senator Walsh. OF Montana. took the
ground that legally the President could
not appoint "a member Of the House or
Senate to such a commission, and he
served notice he would oppose con-
tirmation.
Indications are the opposition 70
confirmation will be sharp but that it
will not be effective. Senator Williams
in the debate expressed the hope the
President would send in the names of
supplementary commissioners who
would be Democrats.
Senator Mcclellan, Of Tennessee.
Democrat, read into the record re-
marks of Senator Smoot made some
months ago in the Senate in which he
declared collection of the foreign debt
will be the very worst thing in the
world for the United States" and would
be "the absolute ruination of the for
eign commerce of the United States
In bringing up Vhe appointments to
the commission, Senator Simmons said
he had no criticisms Of the selections
personally and that he assumed they
would be confirmed.
Senator Walsh, Of Montana, said he
had raised the question of the eligibil-
ity of members of Congress to this
commission when the bill was up and
he had since been confirmed in the
view they were not eligible. He said
committee of the House at one time,
and it was held there is no objection
to the President naming members OF
Congress on commissions which are to
investigate and report to Congress
or commissions TO negotiate treaties
Senator Borah recalled that Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, had held in
speech that members Of Congress
could not be named to commissions by
the President.
Senator HeAin, of Alabama, declaring
there is Something wrong with this
thing" pointed out that if President
Wilson had taken such a course Sen
ator Lodge and other Republicans
would have violently opposed it,
Senator Lodge reminded him that ali
the appointees to the Federal Reserve
Board had been Democrats, and yet he
Senator Hefin) was not satisfied with
it. Senator Hetiin insisted all such
commissions should be bipartisan.

Business Conditions.

An interesting side-light on bust
ness conditions in general. and par
ticularly in the automotive field, is
found, in the figures shown by the
International Harvester Company OF
America on the sale and delivery OF
International Motor trucks this year.
Up to April 1st, total of 1851
carloads of International Motor
Trucks have been shipped from the
truck factories at Akron and Spring
field, o. to be delivered to purchas-
ers. Of the total, 1872 carloads were
shipped west of the Mississippi river
and 759 carloads were for delivery
east of, the river. These carloads
would make a single train ID miles
long or 33 average trainloads of SC
freight cars each. The freight charg-
es, alone approximate $247,00O.
If all these trucks We're placed in
service at one time they would oe
capable of moving the IL million bale
cotton crop of the entire United
States, the usual average haul in q
working days. The mileage to ac-
complish this task would amount to
10 million miles, distance equal to
400 times around the earth at the
equator.
