ntew telements of incertlinty today
President-elect Harding let it be
konwn that his plans for international

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. Lowdlen has no defilnite

ppointnient to come here, but it .was
earned authoritatively that the ques
ion of his act.opting a cabinet post
iad not been settled. Published re
>orts that he has declined finally the
ecretaryshbp of the navy are under
tood to be in error, and it is believed
rat the president-elect still hopes
o have him in the cabinet.
Tonight Mr. Harding took part in
wo lincoln birthday celebrations,
ressing a button to open a Lincoln
mn(Luet in Seattle and duriig the
vening attending a Lincoln ieiio'
LI service held in the lobby of his
lotel here.
Mr. Harding made a short talk at
he memorial meeting, paying tribute
o Lincoln as "the greatest American
Ln( the supreme human being since
he days of Calvary."
le said it was the nation's high
?st destiny to cling to the national
ty inherited from Lincoln and to
nake it a prouid boast to be an Amer
can citizen.
"Although the nation must play its
'ull part in the world," -he addded, "it
nust first of all guard agalnut str
-enlder of its national principles."

one suggestion that Great Britain's
war debt to United States he written
off has come from Beitish sources, a
member of the Senate foreign relations
committee said today after Secretary
Houston had been closeted 'with the
committee for two hours discussing
the status of American foreign loans.
Committee members said M r. Hous
(on had confirmed :hat ie British gov
ernment had nrade a proposal to can
col the debt and that the Treasury
Department had 'refused. First inti
mation that such a proposal had been
made was given by J. Austen Cham
berlain, British chancellor of the ex
chequer in a recent address in Eng
land.
Mr. Houston was said to have re
iterated that the only course open to
him -was to follow the law authoriz
ing the Treasury 'iopartment to ex
change the present a:llied certificates
of indebtedness for long term notes.

'London, Eng., Feb. 12.-A plea for
making the dominant note in Anglo
Aiorican relations ,one of friendship,

sensationalinm and inaccurate repre

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. The viceroy
said it was essential that the two na
