HARDING IS SURE.
HOUSES To FAVOR
DEBT SETTLEMENT
President Will Present Plan
to Congress Today--M May
Aid Solution of Big World
Problems

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-(By Asso-
ciated Press.)-Administ lead
ers expressed confidence tonight
that speed and favorable action
would be taken by Congress in the
British funding settlement once it
is submitted by the President. TThile
1t was generally admitted that con-
gressional opposition to the plan
would develop. administration
spokesman argued that free dis
cussion OF the plan would win sup
port for it, both in Congress and
throughout the country.
The President was understood to-
night not to have definitely deter
mined whether he would present the
plan for congressional consideration
personally, or would send it TO the
capitol with brief statement, al
though indications pointed 10 the
latter course. 1t appeared proba-
BILE that the question would be
turned over to Congress tomorrow.
but there was no definite decision
on that tonight, nor were the lead
ers agreed on the form in which
they would seek congressional sane
ton to the funding committee
work.
President Harding was said to have
been drafting his views on the plan
today preparatory to laying them
before Congress. He held numerous
conferences with administration
leaders at the capitol and talked
with several members of the Ameri-
can commission, including Secretary
Mellon, its chairman. The informa-
ton thus supplied. 1t was stated, was
being employed by the President in
his argument for ratification of the
terms of Congress.
Secretary Mellon was reported as
having said he regarded the settle
ment as a victory for American
craftsmanship in that 1t would sue
cessfully close one of the greatest
transactions ever to take place be-
tween two nations.
Further, it was stated, Mr.. Mel
Ion informed the President that the
settlement, II accepted by Congress,
would so far toward solving the
great questions of dealing with all
war time debts, a question regarded
by economists as one of the hinder
ances of stabilizing world condi-
tions.
While there appeared to be differ
ences of views as to the form in
which Congress should pass ratify-
ing legislation it was accepted as
certain that the necessary congress
sional act would be either IN the
form of resolution dealing speci-
fically with the British settlement or
an amendment to the present law en-
comprising the terms Of the British
agreement. Either would be accepta-
Bile to treasury officials, it was stat
ed, and Mr.. Mellon was declared to
be agreeable to any measure that
would close up the settlement be-
fore March 8.

Battle of the Big Horn, in
which General George A.

when Custer, a few miles away,
was making the stand that inn

not having gone to Clusters aid,

for Reno to have given Custer
any assistance, even had he
known of Clusters danger, as
