many. but said that these things were
largely responsible for this spirit. Ev.
cry German politician who sought to
follow the path of understanding had
been .tripped by French refusals to
treat with him and the liberal repub'
lican administration in Germany had
been so Inundated by repeated
French rebuffs and humiliations that
1t was easy to understand why an in.
dignant reactionary spirit was arising.
Stresemann, himself, committed to
a policy of understanding. was glad to
note a growing change of sentiment
in France. where. he said, it was COM

and Germany were bound together
for their economic veal or woe.
The Foreign Minister concluded
with a tribute to foreign relief efforts
in Germany. which he interpreted as
a sign hat the outside world was com.

other eyes than those Of hatred and
contempt.

to Finish Plans for Reorgani-
zation of Department.

Washington-Secretary Hoover has
decided to remain In the cabinet de-
spite various efforts by commercial
organization to secure his services.
Recently gossip about the capital
has included Mr.. Hoover's name In
the list OF those members of the Pre-

out OF Office when the new admin.
stration begins on March 4. The sec
rotary himself has declined to make
any statement but It was learned that
he had informed Mr.. Coolidge Of his
decision to stay.
The secretary, who took Office as a
member Of President Harding's orig
inal cabinet in 1921, consented to take
the Commerce portfolio only after he
had been assured he would be given
a free hand to reorganize the depart
ment In such a way as to make II
more responsive to the needs Of the
commercial world. Much Of this re-
organization program has been put
into effect but Mr.. Hoover desires to
carry It on to completion.
