A new ementrency tariff bill for spe cial protection of agricultural Inter ests promises to head the progrm to be submitted to President Harding, Senator Penrose said today. "Agricultural interests, particularly those of the west, are very Insistent that a tariff bill for their protection be taken up at or.ee," Senator Penrose added. "There is every disposition to realize their necessities. Of course revenue legislation cannot benefit the taxpayer of current fiscal payments. but he ought to know at the earliest possible date what relief he can expect and the Investor should be able to know Just where he stands."

Washington, March I Various as pects of the nation's foreign relation as well as problems of administrative organization, were oonsldsred by Pres ident Harding and his department heads today at the first cabinet meet lng of the new administration. Afterward definite announcement was made at the war department tha In formulating Its policy toward the Rhine situation this government Is not now considering a withdrawal of the American troops of occupation. I was learned at the same time that as another step toward Pan-American amity ths President Is preparing to ask the senate ratly at once ths long pending treaty with Colombia. Developments In regard to the Pan ama-Costa Rica hostilities were less definite, but it Is understood ths cahl net took cognisance of that sltuatlo apd canvassed latest official .roports o the subject. The next step awaits re ceipt of a reply from Panama to the American note dispatches Saturday. In the realm of domeatlc questions, major attention was directed toward perfection of the cabinet organisation as a smoothly working machine. Mr, Harding is understood to have made co-operation among the department the keynote of his preliminary in structions to his secretaries, telling them he wanted no hesitation and no Jealousy about whatever changes o Jurisdiction might be decided on In the reorganisation scheme now being formulated. All Mtnsen Prevent. AH 10 of the department heads and Vice-President Coolldge, Invited In pur suanco of a policy announced during the campaign, were present at The meeting. The setslon lssted more than two hours, and at Its conclusion At torney General Dauttherty stayed be hind for a short talk with tha Presi dent. There also was a brief Indlvldua conference betaeen Mr. Harding and Secretary Hughes, of the stats depart ment, before the other cabinet mem bers arrived. After the meeting all the secretaries declined to give an Intimation of what rablevana In only announcement com- I Ing from ths White House related to the tlms of future sessions. It was safd the cabinet would lie called to gether again Friday, and that there. after meetings would be held at least once a week, probably on Tuesdays. The war department announcement concerning withdrawal of American troops from the Rhine was made by Secretary Weeks, who would not dis cuss the subject further than to say that withdrawal was not now being considered. In reaching this decision in regard to Its temporary policy the administration Is understood to have taken Into account all the elements of the pressnt situation In western Germany, where allied troops have ad vanced to enforce the terms of the Versailles treaty while the American forces remained behind on the lines originally occupied by them under the armistice agreement. Receiving Close Scrutiny, Althnurh nothlna definite haa de veloped in other official quarters hep to Indicate the probable permanent policy of the new administration, It is known that the situation now pre sented along the German border Is re ceiving the close scrutiny of Mr. Hard ing and his advisers. It generally Is expected that some more concrete ex. presslon of this government's attitude may be forthcoming In the near fu ture. When the army appropriation bill was under conslderalon Just before In auguration Republican leaders In Con gress proceeded on the expectation that the American troops would be but of Europe before the first of July. The bill with its curtailed budget for the array of occupation failed of final en actment and must be taken up again at the special session. Also wrapped up in the Rhine situa tion Is the question of passing a con gressional resolution to declare a state of peace with Germany, and It Is be lieved the administration will deter mine its attitude on such a resolution in the light of full Information about presen t Kuropean conditions. nnfv nc Trnonu IV ASKS PEOPLE TO BACK GOVERNMENT ECONOMY Seeretnry Mellon. Ot tke Treasury, Dis cusses Nanus's Financial Nllua lion Is a Heavy Drain. Washington. March S. Secretary Mellon, of the treasury. In his Drat off! rial statement, msde public tonight in the form of a letter to bankers, U pealed "la the people generally" to stand for rlsld economy In govern mental expenditures and urged the Im mediate establishment of a national buduet system. The new treasury secretary in his letter discussed at length the nation financial condition, declaring that the showing made In tho last eight months had been "particularly enoourawlng. There are. however, heavy drains to come on the trensury this month and next, he said, these retiulre the flota tion of more short term certificates of ldebtednesa. announcement of which ho made coincident with the letter to the Danaers. "The nation cannot afford extrava gance." Mr. Mellon asserted, "and so far as possible It must avoid enter ing new fields of expenditures. Fig ures on current operations of the gov ernment show 'hat the country's finances are sound but that the situa tion calls for the utmost economy. "The hoavy requirements of to gov ernment on account of necessary ex penditures. Included Interest and sink ing fund on the publlo debt, and the maturity of (7.6110,000,000 In short dated debt In the next two years or thereabouts make It Imperative that the greatest care and economy be ex ercised In matters affecting gavern ment expenditures. "The people generally must beooms more Interested In saving .the govern ment's money than In spending tt. A thoroughgoing national budget system must be established and the govern ment's expenses brought Into relation to Its Income." The belief was expressed by the new secretary, however, that the first nine months of the fiscal year, or to March 81, would show the treasury had made ends meet with a slight surplus to use against the great war debt. Payments on the war debt must necessarily he slow, he said, explaining .that the heavy payments to the railroads would seriously hamper previous plans to lower the debt.
