HARDING NEAR
SDLUTJDN OF
BiG PROBLEMS
World Peace Plan, Based On
Moral Influence, Said to
Have His Approval
CABINET IS MYSTERY
Announcement of Appoint
ments Not Expected Before
the First of Next Year
MARION', Ohio. Deo. 22. Although
many important decisions remain to
be made, it became known tonight
that President-Elect Harding's series
of conferences here have "Drought him
much nearer the solction cf the biff
problems of his administration.
A world neace plan, based on the
united moral influence of the great
powers, is taking more or less con
crete form in his mind as he gathers
advice oil the -subject from every
viewpoint.
Available material for the cabinet
has been sorted painstakingly, and
although no appoint mi nts have been
offered. ;he field of possibilities has
been narrowed sharply. Definite an
nouncement of selections for two or
thre of the most important portfolios
may be made early in the new year.
On the problem of reorganizing the
elaborate executive machinery at
Washington tITe plans of the piesi-dent-elect
aie less complete, but he
at least had gathered much, informa
tion and advice and has settled upon
a central scheme of procedure. He
proceeded to build his cabinet from
the very beginning about the id en
of a readjusted jurisdiction among
the respective executive departments.
These are the outstanding accom
plishments cT the deliberations
about Harding's council board here,
but the discussions also have devel
oped many policies of lesser promin
ence. He is keeping an ear to the
ground for information on the lane-?!
situation and on financial conditions.
He has inquired into the questicn of
agricultural relief and h:is sought for
he real story of the nation's military
and naval status.
Not vet Committed.
So far as the world peace plan is
concerned, Harding still remains free
from final committal to any definite
and detailed program. During his
conference here, however, he has
placed upon the table an outline of
procedure wbieh he formulated long
before the campaign was oer In an
avowed spirit to give and, take, he
h;s filled in a feature here and there
and lias erased others :il the sugges
tion of his conferees. Much still Is
to be done, but the president-elect
views, tile progress already made lis
insuring success.
Roughly, the plan as-it now shapes
up is understood to contemplate a
diploma'. ic exchange with Great Prit
ain, France, Italy and Japan soon
after the new administration begins
on March 4. asking that they con
sider, the possibilities of an agree
ment between them and the United
States to exert a united moral force
for woild peace. It is not expected
that the proposal will suggest in any
icspeot a political alliance, though it
may reiterate the faith of the United
States in a world court in which all
nations might voluntarily become
litigants.
What the next step might be must
depend on the willingness of the four
great powers to co-operate. Harding
has very expectation that they will
be ready to second such a move, and
if they do. a diplomatic conference at
Washington is among the possibil
ities. At Mich a conference would be de
termined such questions as the avail
ability of The Hague tribunal and
workable features of the Versailles
league in weaving the texture of the
now covenant.
Cabinet Still in Doubt.
From the first, the question of the
more linnort nnl cabinet selections
has been bound ud with the world!

weighed the qualifications of possible

DUBLIN. Dec. 22. There is no
truth in the rumor that negotiations
for peace in Ireland have been brok

thoritatively informed. There has
been fjuly a hitch in the peace ilis
cussions and the belief is expressed
that the negotiations soon will be re
sumed with good prospects of suc

Clune has returned to London for fur

The archbishop on his' previous trip
on London is said to have obtained
from the premier an outline or the

In the warrant which Sheriff Gar

j When the Oklahoma sheriff reach
