menti for a further telephone
conference with Mr. Harding.
Mr. Hoover left tho bulldlnj- with
out being: Intercepted by reporters. It
wu ekl ho had "cone uptown for
lunch." Mr. Baker disappeared from
the offices at about the same Umo and
)t waa understood that Mr. Hoover
was .to discuss his decision with do so
friends at lunch and during the after
noon. After his talk with Mr. Harding,
Hoover said:
."Senator Harding and I have had a
conversation over tho telephone as to
my accepting a post In toe Cabinet
Naturally, theso are matUirs requiring
consideration and equally they are
not matters for me to discuss now.'
The coavorsatlou with Harding took
place over a telephone from tbo houso
of a friend of Hoover's In this city.
Is lasted for about fifteen minutes
sijd only the two men chiefly con
cerned know anything of tho details.
Immediately after the conversation
Mr. Hoover hurried away to a c&la
performance of "Carmen" for tho
benefit of tho European Belief Coun
cl, of which bo la Chairman. He
yrsa accompanied by J, P. Morgan
and George Barr Baker.
iTwo things aro said to stand In tho
Way of an Immedlato acceptance of
to proffered post by tho Callfornlnn.
One is the bitter opposition of a
group of Senators to his appointment,
Including Knox and Penrose, and the
other Is tho dislike felt by Hoover for
too red tape methods which havo beon
id vogue In tho department over
which he Is asked to preside.
iThe statement Is mado that in an
t&lpaPton of the opposition of Knox
and Penrose. Harry L. Daughorty,
w!ho has been chosen for Attorney
pftneral, is hastonlng North to-day
from Bt Augustine, Ha, to confer
with tho Senators, and that an offer
of tho Secretaryship of tho Treasury
has not been definitely mado to An
drew W. Mellon, tho Pittsburgh
banker. This position la said to havo
boon held open for trading purposes,
if is bellevd bore, however, that on
understanding will bo reached and
'that both Mellon and Hoover will be
la the Cabinet.
'3T. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Fob. 1

formalities remaining to finally cloao

Harding gave h)s attention
to-day to other immedlato appoint

Inaugural address.
Formal Invitations and acceptance

gard to three of tho ten places. These
are Edwin Denby of Michigan; Hor-
bert Hoover of California and James
J. Davis of Pennsylvania, slated re
DpocUvely for tho portfolios of Navy,
Commerce and Labor.
There havo been published reports
tttX Mr. Hoover might decline, but
they manifestly aro not credited by
Mr. Harding and his advisers.
Another selection ' understood to
have been decided on Is that of

Congress Will Wait to See
What German Bonds Are
Really Worth.
By David iMicrcncc.
(Special Correspondent of Tho Eve
ning World,)
"WASHINGTON. Feb. 33 (Copy
right, 1321). Congress will not act at
this time on President Wilson's mcs
sago submitting the proposal that tho
United States consider tho acceptance
of German ri-paratlone bonds in ex
change for Belgium's dobt to America
of 1171,780.000. Nor docs tho Execu
tive expect any action until America
Is convinced that tho Gorman repara
tion bonds nro worth something.
This brings up the entire question
of whether tbo recent decision of tho
Allied Premiers to saddlo Germany
with an enormous dobt la wise and
whether America will accopt German
reparation bonds us payment for
anything in tho future.
Tho United States refrained from
participating In tho Allied council
at which the reparation settlement
was agreed upon and has oven hesi
tated to express approval or disap
proval afterwarda lest the preaont
Administration be drawn into a dis
cussion of reparation Questions
which might be embarrassing to the
Harding Administration.
MIGHT E8TABLI8H A DANGER
OU8 PRECEDENT.
Tho presentation to Congress of
the proposal that Gorman reparation
bonds be used In exchango (or Bel
gium's war Indebtedness to tho
United States involves a precedent
of considerable Importance.
If America accepts German
bonds as a payment for even ao
small a debt, relatively speaking,
as $171,780,000, would it be con
sistent for the United States to
refuse to accept Gorman repara
tion bonds as payment for Uia en
tire Allied war debt? That la tho
question which members of Con
gress aro asking.
The British and Fronoh point out
that thoy would bo oven more gen
erous than tho United States, for
England and Franco stand ready to
accept German reparation bonds
amounting to 174,000,000, or about
$800,000,000, which la tho combined
debt of Belgium to Franco and
Britain. If tho British and French
think the German reparation bondH
will bo worth 8800,000.000 why can't
tho United States, It Is argued, ac
cept their Judgmcnt7
But tho answer glvon hero Is thai
England and Franco would faro muoh
better In tho end, even if German rep
aration bonds wero accepted to tho
amount of $800,000,000, because the
transfer from tho All leu of tho entire
Indebtedness to tbo United States to
the backs of tho Germans would re
lievo Groat Britain and France of thu
greater part of their financial burdenu
to-day.
Even such a course Is not consid
ered outelde tbo rango of possibility
If tbo German reparation bonds can
be made to pay. But America has
stayed out of the League of Nations
and has thus far given no indication
that alio wants to participate In tho
enforcement of tho torraH of tho Peace'
Treaty of Versailles or in tho collec
tion of tho war indemnity from Our-
many. Europe, of course, would lllcc
America to accept Gorman reparation
bonds because it would make tho
United States sc more clearly the no-
cesalty of making Germany pay and
would bring America closer to Euro
pean political affairs.
REPORTED VIEW OF THE GOV
ERNMENTS ADVISERS,
American financiers and the men
who havo been advising the United
Slates aoverament ever since the
Paris conference. Insist that It Is the
Allies and not Germany who must bo
regulated, for In the mad scramble to
get money out of Germany tho Allies
thus far havo adopted a policy of
strangulation which, from the Amer
ican viewpoint, is bad business for
the world, Irrespective of whether It
affects the value of German repara
tion bonds.
America's position as expressed
here Is that Germany must bo given
a chance to got back on hor feet and
that If tho Allies persist in the policy
of draining Germany of her capital
and levying an export tax, lor in
stance, that will interfere seriously
with German trade opportunities, the
Allies may as well abandon any hope
that America will believe the German
reparation bonds aro worth tbo paper
on which iney aro written.
There Is substantially no difference
or opinion on the question belwocti
Republicans and Democrats here. It
Is an economic and not a partisan
question, president Wilson prom
ised to submit the mutter to Con
gress when he wai, In Parli. He
could not refuse to do so without be
ing discourteous to Belgium. But
