SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1020. THE UK&UQN DAILY JOURNAL." PORTLAND. OREGON LEI PEACE PROBLEMS TAKE SIDETRACK ' By Robert J. Bender . J (tTttlUd Ntw guff Cormpondcat New York. Kov. 13. Senator Harding regard the recent election as a tremendous vindication o? Sena tor Lodge's stand on the League of - Nations issue and as a result upon the Massachusetts senator will prob ably rest' the major responsibility for drafting- the new administration's policy for peace. M ; ' This information is tendered the writer by one who has been intimately in touch with Senator Harding', particularly In reference to his foreign policy, both dur ing and since the campaign. It is fur ther disclosed that Harding, as a result of the eletcion, probably will not make ,. the league rubject the dominant one in ; his forthcoming ; conferences 'after re turning to Marion. lie regards' the re cent vote, it is saidas demonstrating that the. people are primarily Interested in domestic issues, and these wllfe be considered first by Harding , when he . ' returns. . tZASS TO CUT EXPENSES The reason for this is two-fold, it is explained. In the first place, the Re publican party intends to begin curtail ing government expenses at the session ' of congress , commencing : next month. The new appropriation bills, it is planned, will provide for vigorous slash ing of Jobs now filled by some 90,000 government employes ' at Washington, The reduction of expenses provided in the tentative plans calls for considerable coordination of i work directed Jointly toward economy tfnd efficiency. This legislation, coupled with the serious problem of tax reform to be embodied in the new revenue legislation, probably will be considered first at. the Marlon, conferences. The second reason for delaying def inite action on the league problem is that Harding believes there is nothing . he can do before he takes office March, 4-and, as he himself has stated, so many things could happen in the interim that a definite policy could not very well be formulated until that time. LEAVES IT TO OTHERS L While Harding has stated he would call the best minds-together In confer ence on the subject, it is pointed out now by party leaders that this must not be taken too literally'. In other words, it Is not his intention, they say. to summon" a conference including all i opinions at one time. In fact, .he will, ' one at a time, ask those who have played an Important part In the campaign dis cussion, to go to Marion to get an idea of what should be done. . . Harding himself. It Is said, has not'at teinpted to. develop a definite foreign policy, but is depending upon such men as Lodge and Knox tp get down in black and white a program that may be the basis for later discussion In conference with leaders on all views on the ques tion. Lodge is said to have begun work on his proposal. i KNOX INTERESTED IX PEACE In; connection with this there has been considerable evidence, largely due 1o suggestions from party leaders, rather than from any hint by Harding person ally, that one of these two senators would be secretary of state in the new cabinet. i r More, recently, however, friends of each have informed Republican leaders that neither aspired to the post, Knox even less than Lodge.' The latter was represented as. being primarily interest ed in drafting a, proposal for peace and an organization to perpetuate peace that would prove acceptable not only to the senate, but to all the - people. It must be acceptable to the associated ; nations. Knox, .it is said, would not again' leave, his senate seat to take a cabinet portfolio, as he did when he accepted the secretary of stateshlp under President Taft when Taft was inaugur-' , ated in March, 1909. i Cabinet selections will be the subject of many of Harding's conferences when he returns to Marion. The only names which Republican leaders say may be sure to be found on the-cabinet list. as the situation stands now, are former Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, pro ably as secretary of the treasury ; Governor- Lowd en of Illinois, probably as secretary of the Interior; Harry Daught er ty. If he desires a post, and former Senator George Sutherland. . 'Will Hays, who has been mentioned for a cabinet position, is being urged by his friends not to aspire to a post. Were he to be tendered a choice and desire to enter the cabinet, it is stated authori tatively that he would rather be attorney general than postmaster general. The latter Job has to do with vast patronage distribution, and Hays, says his friends, would rather get away from that phase of administrative work. ; Republican leaders appear to be unan imous that the new secretary' of war will, not be a military man. and dismiss the possibility of either General Per shing or Major General .Wood getting that post . Loot Is Recovered; Deserter Confesses Charles Samuels, alias .Frank ' Mcore, 19, who gives his home town as Green field.
