Lowden and Diawes. - St. Augustine, Fla., Feb, 12r-While the cabinet problem was taking on ntew telements of incertlinty today President-elect Harding let it be konwn that his plans for international pe'ace ani disarmament also are far from definite formulation. Takinug note of published reports that a disarma mnat conference would be called early in the new administration, i r. IHard ing said, he made no sueht iplans, ai though the idea fitted in with his gen erf.0I sclime for an association of na tions. It was a feature of the problem, he added, to which lie lwould givi no spe- I clie attention until he came into the presidency. itepeatedly the presidenit-elet, has Included reduction of armaments atmontg the requirements for a peace tssociation and his clos(e adviscers be leve the subject will receive Iis eariest attention as soon as lie takes No Just as values i C Hart S $40.00, $5 Men's Suite $20.00, $2 MEN Worth $3.00, $ $1.50, $: $2 .50, $ MEN'S S $1.25, $ MRl tion This sale w re-marked for this is p LAURENS, S up negotiatigns for -his peace plan. a The suggestion for a separate con- I ference to consider armaments, how- t ever, is one on which opinion is di- ) vided. The day's cabinet developments concerned chiefly Charles . Dawes and Frank 0. Ihowden, both of Illinois, and niontloed for the posts of secre tary of the treasury and secretary of the navy, rev1ectively. The net result was to leave more in doubt than ever whether either would be a member of Mr. larding's official family. Mr. Dawes, who recently astonished political wiseacres by bitterly de-1 nouneing Republican investi-ations into the conduct of the x.var spent more t than a. 1 hour in consultation withi Ar. larding an( afterward refused to a- 1 swer any question about cabinet pros- 1 pects. .\Mr. Harding said they had talked about coordination of government agencies. The president-elect added that he had high regard for .\Mr. Dawes' ability and had found the talk more illuminating 1but further comment was withheld. So far .\r.

'London, Eng., Feb. 12.-A plea for making the dominant note in Anglo Aiorican relations ,one of friendship, ind understanding, rather than of sensationalinm and inaccurate repre sentation was made tonight by Win ston Spencer Churchill, the newly appointed secretary for the colonies, and Eiarl Reading, viceroy of India, at a farewell dinner to Lord Reading by the 1nglish Speaking Union. Both Mr. Churchill and Lord Read lug in their speeches alluded' to co operation between Great Britain and the United States in the late war and the need of .proving through lonig years of peace what had been gained at such cost and pekil.
