NO GOVERNMENT LOAN U. S. Mediation Asked and Will Be Granted Cabinet Studying Methods. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 (Copy- right). President Harding and his cabinet have thus far been discussing two broad phases of tho European situation; the attituJo tho United States Government should assume, in tho event that Franco and Great Britain request this country to . . ' ..... .. ..iii i i ,i i II1VU1UIU UL U1UI11ULU HIV UlSpUlU US IU should pay, and tho aftflinatlvg meas- ures that should bo taken on tho initiative of America to case tho economic burdens o Kurope. Tho idea of tin international eco- nomic conference, to be held in Wash- ington shortly alter tho new year be- gins appeals strongly to the adminis- tration. It feels this will mako greater headway with American public opinion in the long run if tho con- ference Is held where all tho moves and tho facts can bo seen at first hand. But an economic conference is an ultimato and not nn immediate step. Tho first problem Is really what shape American advico will take. That's what Kurope is asking for. Ambassa- dor Harvey was appealed to In L,on-do- n and thcro is reason to believo other powers asked American diplo- matic representatives for guidance n other capitals. The Cabinet here spent its Friday session almost en- tirely discussing just what America should advise. Thcro is unanimity of opinion that tho first pleco of advice should be to get a dcflnlto agreement on the amount of German reparations. It' Franco is willing to leave thu fixing of this sum to nn American mission, this country may undertako tho task of arbitrating tho disputo botweon Franco's idea of what Ger- many should pay and tho Allied view of Germany's capacity to pay. On tho outcomo of that Issue de- pends something even mote namely the floating of a loan by international bankers. There seems to bo an impression abroad that the United States Government can some- how sanction such u loan. This is possible, of course, but highly Impiobable. The Cabinet didn't discuss the milking of a loan by tho Covcrninent. or even tho extension to Ameilnm pilvatc bunkers of anything Hint mush\ be construed as u guaran-tc- r of moral suppo.t. The only way tho American Gov- ernment gets into the picture nt all on the matter nf fotvign loans is to examine them carcfulb, in the light of its policy of a car ago, nhlrh as announced to all bankers.

Tho members of thl party resented tho election of a man who, they declared, represented the non-Poli- sh and radical, elements. ' ' f Tho Nationalist Deputies, aftor the j election, announced ofliclally that thev would refuse to support M. Nnruto- - j wlcz or any Cabinet appointed by him. They asserted ho was elected by tho votes of tho Jews, Ukrainians, Germans nnd Ilusslans, receiving only 186 'Polish votes, while 227 Polish votes were cast for Count Zamoyskl. Under tho Constitution, tho Speaker of tho House, Muclez RataJ, acts as President in caso of tho death ot the President, and is required at once to convoko tho National Assembly to choose a now chief niemitlvn.

He first became a member of thu Polish government in June, 1920, when ho was given the portfolio of Minister of Public Works under Pre- mier Grnbskl. He was reappointed to this office by the succeeding Premier, M. Ponlkowskl. When elected Presi- dent, ha was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which important post he held under both Premiers Sllwlnsky nnd Nownk. He was Poland's second dele- gate to the Genoa conference. Rioting on the day Narotowicz took the oath was sanguinary In the extreme. More than 20.000 Nationalists, mostly students and schoolboys, at- tempted to provent the inauguration.'
