Prospect For
Fair Inaugural
Day Is Remote

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s,-CBy The
Associated Press)-If the weather
performs according to the law of
averages, President Coolidge is likely
TO have a partly cloudy day. with
nearly oven chances for rain. for his
Inauguration. The temperature.
judging from probability based on
weather records for half n century,
will be between Al degrees and the
freezing point.
There seems to be but a dim
chance that the New Englander will
experience balmy spring weather for
his induction into office, and past
indications point to conditions that
will be reminiscent OF his native

Of foreign relations, which has occu-

tons Of his immediate predecessors,
President Coolidge will begin his new
term OF office next Wednesday with
little threat Of real trouble facing
him from any quarter.
When his new secretary OF state,
Frank b. Kellogg. grips the handle
OF the state portfolio it probably
will contain fewer and less perplex.
ing diplomatic problems than it has
been the fortune OF any secretary in
many years to inherit when he took
office.
Yet the portfolio IS not empty.
To make an utterly clean sweep OF
pending questions never is possible
for going concerns like a great
government.
The new administrations inherit

The first is the task. OF obtaining
senate ratification for international
compacts already negotiated but
awaiting approval. The second
group covers pending or projected
new international engagements.
Outstanding Illustrations of the
first class are the Lausanne treaty
with Turkey and .he World Court
question. but with the senate in re-
cess neither of thsse appears imme-
dlate. In the second group the Rus
