It means a reduction in wages and operating expenses, but also a drop in ireight rates. The President has managed to tone down the demand in the Senate for the passage of the Knox resolution and has, through Secretary of State Hughes, set forth the general princi- ples of American foreign policy. Mr. Harding has not vet formulated a definite program on tax revision or tariff legislation. but he has created a favorable atmosphere among the leaders—an atmosphere that probably will lead to_agreement rather than discord.

The cabinet has functioned as a funit. Secretary Hughes has grasped the problems of the State Department with remarkable speed. He acts and | thinks quickly Notes do not lie un- answered very long. And the lan- guage of the notes is not roundabout or ambiguous, but plainspoken and un- equivocal. Secretary Hoover has laid the groundwork for co-operation between American business men and their gov- ernment, particularly in respect of foreign trade. He has, moreover, in- itiated a movement to save the gov- ernment money on its telegraph and cable messages, and has taken steps toward co-ordinating the communica- tions services of the United States. Secretary Denby of the Navy De- partment has visited the Atlantic ish citizens of the country and assured him that he could Wways count on their loval support KS PRESIOENT i Invitation to Executive to Attend Meeting.

Secretary Fall has busied himself with the Alaskan problem and a mul- titude of other tasks in the Interior Department which may not make in- teresting reading. but have a great deal to do with the development of the west. Secretary Mellon has distinguished himself by the splendid way in which he has gotten the confidence of the officials of his department. He has said he would not turn out one set of employes simpiy to make room for others on political grounds. He h moreover, given valuable advice on matters of taxation and fiscal policy. He is a distinct asset to the Harding administration. Post Office Problems. Postmaster General Will Hays, with characteristic zeal, has busied him- self with the huge organization of the Post Office Departmen He doesn’t find it as incompetent as the public had been led to believe be- cause of its peculiar antipathy to- ward Mr. Burleson. But, nevertheless, he is going after the mail service with an enthusiasm and energy which ‘ought to spell results pretty soon. Attorney General Daugherty has had the hardest job of any one in the cabinet. Not only has he a big ad- ministrative task in running the De- partment of Justice, but everybody seems to have picked him out as the man through whom the President can be reached. The office seekers have been crowding the corridors of the Department of Justice. Mr. Daugher- ty has had his hands full. Views of Crities. No analysis would be fair without recording what the critics are say ing. Criticism centers mostly thus the virtue and devotion of their do mestic lives, their broad charity and philanthropy and _their obedience to the laws under which they live. May Not Be Able to Attend. When shown this letter. the Presi- dent readily assured his callers that he now was of the same opinion. Because of the sessions of the special Congress, he doubted if he could ar- range matters so as to accept the in- vitation personally to attend the At- lantic City convention He said, however, that in the event he cannot attend he will send either a personal representative or a greei- ing of some kind. He already bas sent a greeting to be read to the ish mass meeting 1o be held in New York April 12 in honor of Prof. Chaim Weismann, world Zion leader. and Ai- bert Einstein. a leader in Jewish edu- cational welfare and relief work. Judge Hartman told the President that there would be 1,200 delegates. representing 650 lodges, at the B'rith Abraham convention, with a total memberchip of 200,000, which., with their families. represent one-third of the Jewish population of the United h Judge Hartman in the delega. tion were Max L.
