PRESIDENT FAVORS
ARCHIVES BUILDING
Gives Considerable Thought
to Proposal for Erection
of One at Once.

President Harding is giving con-
siderable thought to the matter of the
legislation providing for the erection
OF the archives building for the gov
eminent, and according to intimates
OF the President who have discussed
this matter with him during the past
few days. he is determined that there
should be no unnecessary delay in the
matter OF legislation.
The executive has made II plainly
evident that his administration favors
carrying out the program providing
Tor the erection OF several new public
buildings and the Improvement and
Identification Of the Mall and Poto-
mac Park. 1t was the subject Of the
last cabinet meeting and it Is known
that the matter has been discussed
by the President with individuals
since then.
In putting into effect this program
the President hopes to include the
archives building, and according to
his most recent advisers the erection
Of this governmental building prob
ably will be the first one undertaken in
this plan. 1t is said that the Presi-
dent believes the provision for the
archives building should not have
been incorporated in the general ON
nibus bill, but that IL should be a
separate measure or else included in
bill providing for the public build
ings program for the capital
Although the executive and his
cabinet have made It very clear that
they heartily approve of the public
buildings program for the capital as
proposed by the public buildings COM
mission, of which Senator Smoot is
chairman. and has been approved by
the Fine Arts Commission, II is doubt
full that the program in it's entirety
will be put in operation for at least
another year because Of the state of
the public Treasury at this particular
time.
It Is understood that the President
has In mind as one OF the features for
the future development Of the Mall and
Potomac Park the construction of a
handsome, wide boulevard connecting
directly the Monument and the Capitol
and indirectly the Monument and the
Lincoln Memorial, and ultimately as a
thoroughfare across the Arlington
memorial bridge, the plans for which
are now being made. This roadway.
whether original or not with the Prcsi-
dent, Is known to have met with his an
proval and to more than one person he
has made known his wishes regarding
It's construction. 1t Is therefore con-
sidered likely that when the legislation.
whether in a whole or in part, for the
erection of the public buildings for the
Mall Is placed before Congress, 1t will
include an item for this boulevard

HAS permanent STATUS,
Great Britain Places Official Repre.
sentative in Petrograd.

For the first time since the war an
official representative of Great Brit
ain has been assigned permanently
to Petrograd, according 70 official dis
patches reaching Washington. He
will have notarial powers, and will
be authorized to settle transport
questions and issue viseS to travellers.
On account of the provisions OF so.
Wet law and the terms of the British
soviet trade agreement, the British
representative will not have powers
to handle affairs concerning the pro-
lection OF British citizens and their
property interests. He will be able.
however to perform many of the or
binary consular functions without his
government going through the proc.
ess OF recognizing formally the So
Wet regime.
Officials here are inclined to regard
the step as a trial proposition, and
the results will be closely watched.

Outcome Doubtful.
American authorities are inclined
at first blush to scout the possibility
OF a successful appeal to French pub
lie opinion in light OF the big ma
jority Poincare secured in the cham
| Der OF deputies for the Ruhr adven-
ture. That majority would diminish
and eventually evaporate. in all prob
ability, IL II began TO develop con-
clusively that the Ruhr expedition
| servers believe NJ. Poincare antici-
pates failure, and that his sole incen-
tive was to create demonstration"
that would satisfy French honor and
sentiment over Germany's reparation
bubbles and defaults. Having now
given visible exhibition of French
power to hold Germany by the throat,
NJ. Poincare has done all he needs to
do to show France that she Is led by
trifies at her peril. Honor thus vim
dicated, prestige established. and fall
ure in the Ruhr impending-then
| will be the time. according to the
SUNNI arized. to save both the face of
the Poincare government and of
France by an Irresistible appeal to
! French public opinion. The appeal,
he strongly feels. should in substance
adhere to the proposal launched by
Secretary Hughes in his New Haven
speech on December 29-that COM
| mission OF international experts be
delegated to come to final grips with
reparations.
Occupation Renewa z. 9. Interest.
In a broad way, the tactics behind
the European statesman's proposal
are those which are stimulating SEN
ator Borah to renew his project for
an international economic conference.
Both men appear to believe that Tar
ested efforts to preserve peace in
Europe, the Ruhr occupation makes
them more necessary than ever. The
United States, both point out, remains
France and Germany in the repara-
tions squabble. Both men are per-
suaded that whatever the suscepti--
bilities and personal interests OF
French politicians may be. France as
nation could not afford to Ignore
bold action instigated by the United
States and strongly supported by the
opinion of other countries.
AReductionists" In Disfavor.
One aspect Of French sentiment OF
the hour has not been given due
prominence in America. The French
people have rallied around NJ. Poin-
care in their vast majority because,
as they view it, they have consented
to a third drastic reduction Of Ger
man reparations. At the end Of the
war NJ Klotz, then French minister
k01H
Germany some day would have TO
pay 100000. 100000 in gold marks.
! The allied premiers in 1921 cut down
| the figure to $4,000, 100000 gold
marks. In the recent abortive con-
| ference of premiers at Paris 1t was
agreed Germany's capacity was only
| 10000, 100000 gold marks. The

alton have awaited them nothing.
