It is understood that General Crowder has recommended the $"0, 000,000 lean, but he Is an adminis trator, net u financier. The State Department wishes te have (he situation examined by a financial expert before It approves the conditions attached te the lean. The difficulty In making a lean te Cuba Is the same as in milking leans te the ether Central American and West In dian communities. The money disap pears in graft unless Its expenditure nml the collection of revenues for its payment arc supervised by representn- i mes et the lending blinkers, and tne . supervision has everywhere brought , about sharp criticism of tlie ntntc i'c; tmrMncnt. In this Instance the State Department is evidently proceeding with special care te see that the lean is made nnd"the supervision exercUed under conditions that arc fair te Cuba and thnt will net involve the United States Government nny mere deeply in the Island affairs than Is necessary. Governer Hnrdlnz, of the Federal He serve System, will, It Is felt, command the confidence of every one Interested in re-cstubllshing the credit of the Island. The announcement of his prospective mission te Cuba revives the question whether he is te be reappointed te the Federal Reserve Heard or net. Seme Interpret the sending of him te the island as tlie Administration's way of finding n use for him when his succes sor is named in tlie reserve beard. Others think it is an indication of President Harding's Intention te re re apneint him. The President seems te be hesitating because of the farm bloc's opposition te him.

Whet her there Is nny profiteering in anthracite coal prices paid by the consumer today is te be the first Inquiry made b. the Ceal Fact-Flndlng Commission appointed by President Harding. Jehn Hays Ham Ham eond, chairman of the commission, de sires that the public shnll have complete r.nd accurate Information as te the pres ent costs of producing, transporting and distributing cenl. Ceal prices arc causing argument und trouble throughout the country, nnd especially the prices asked for nn thraclte. There U no intention en the part of the commission te infer thnt prices are unreasonable or thnt there is profiteering. Hut It Is the belief of the commission that producers, distrib utors, miners and consumers will be served best by giving the public Infor mation. And the co-eperntlon of ull will be sought in this endeavor. Within the next two weeks Chairman Hammend expects te have his organ ization completed and the Investigation under way. Today there will be a con ference with Kills Scnrlcs, of Indian -npellsi Themas Kennedy, of Ohie, and Jehn Moere, of Pennsylvania, repre irntntlren of the I'nllrd Mine Workers. Tomorrow a meeting will be held with ' bituminous operators and a conference i with anthracite operators will be held i en Thursday. These will be informal ' and merely for the purpose of planning i for the study te be made by the com- . mission, I Ne Hearings at Present ' Fer the present, at least, and preba-! bly for some future time, there will be I no meetings or hearings before the ; commission, in is plan was adopted by Mr. Hammend witii the Idea of push ing the work as rapidly as possible. The commission plans te make immedi ate use, however, of Information gained ln ether investigations. As outlined new. the plan of pro cedure is te be ns fellows : First Assignment of experts te the information gained in previous investi gations, such as that made by the Sen- , ate Committee en Ileconstructien, of which former Senater Kenyen was the active chairman. All the facts which , will be important and pertinent te the j work of this commission will be com piled. Second Organization of experts te specialize en different subjects with the assignment of capnblc men te labor nreblems. the nucstlen of transportation i and of distribution and ether related subjects. Third Assignment of experts . te j questions relating te waste In the indus-1 try and te the charges of prehtccrlng. Much Data Available The commission must mnke n pre liminary report in January nnd It is the lin.ie tlinf thn InitiHtiL'ntfnn iilrnnrlv made will supply much of the data. ! There ls no grent desire te make recom mendations nt that time, but mere of an intention te build the foundation for the permanent work of the organization.

This information should form a fnirly accurate picture for the I beginning et tlie werK, Mr. Hammend Is endenvering te avoid long Investigations and reports. There will be a report and recommendations te Congress, but the desire of the com mission ls te simplify thnt work and te make it ns brief and as practical as It can be made. When the recemmenda tiens reach Congress, it is the hope mat mere win ee utile opportunity ter cavil. It Is with this end in view that the public will be informed censtnntl) as te what is taking pluce.
