Confirmed by Senate—
To Ask Injunctions

Washington, Feb. 17.—Sensa
tional developments in the oil
lease scandal tonight caused the
investigation committee to call
an executive session for Monday
afternoon to determine if the ex
igencies of the situation demand
an immediate continuation of the
hearing. , ,
So important is the new in
formation that subpoenas were
telegraphed to New York for
Harry Payne Whitney, multimil
lionaire of New .York, and asso

Universal Service Correspondent
Washington, Feb. 17. First steps to
ward the actual legal prosecution of
those criminally Involved in the oil
frauds will be taken this week by
special counsel representing the
United States government.
Simultaneously, Injunction proceed
ings will be instituted to prevent
further operation by private oil in
terests pending determination by the
courts of the legality of the leases of
the naval reserves.
Developments have been so mo
mentous that Senator Wnlsh of Mon
tana, outstanding figure in the Senate
investigation, has indefinitely post
poned his contemplated trip to North
Carolina for a few days of rest.
Walsh and Atlee Pomerene held a
long conference Sunday while rep
resentatives of the committee con
ferred with attorneys for Edward B.
McLean, Washington newspaper pub
lisher and intimate friend of the late
President Harding. Sunday night
Walsh and Pomerene met again to
consider the reports of those who had
talked with McLean's counsel. Sena
tor Bryon K. AA'heeler, of Montana,
Walsh's colleague, participated in one
or more of the conferences.
Open Way For Action
McLean's representatives are un
derstood to have indicated that the
Washington publisher wishes to help
in every way possible. Circumstances
are such, however, that McLean de
sires to know in advance whether the'
committee and the special counsel wjll
receive his co-operation in a frieniily
spirit.
The confirmation of Atlee T’ome
rene by the Senate opened the way
for the preparation of legal evidence
to support criminal Indictments by
a special federal grand jury here.
Although there is certain to be a
fight in the Senate Monday on the
Owen J. Roberts of Philadephia, in
dications are that opposition senators
will be unable to block favorable acj
tion.
Even should the Senate decline to
confirm Roberls, there would be
hardly a hitch In the legal proceed
ings, as President Coolldge is ready
to submit still another nominee in
order that there may be no delay.
cxammo ttroKers osoki
Side by side with the legal steps
taken by the special counsel for the
government will move the searching
Inquiry of the Senate investigating
committee to develop new evidence
anrl to compel reluctant witnesses to
reveal what they know of the cir
cumstances surrounding the lerflng
to private interests of the navy’s oil
reserves.
Agents of the committee will con
tinue to examine the books of Wash
ington, New York, Cleveland and Chi
cago brokerage houses for traces of
stock transactions likely to have been
- related to speculation based on Inside
information concerning the leases
prior to the announcement of their
consummation.
The committee's experts already
t have done -much Vork on the books
of two Washington firms, and what
they have found has resulted tn a
call for additional books front out of
town in order to complete their study.
Awaits Return of Sinclair
Meanwhile, the committee awuits
the return from abroad of Harry F.
Sinclair, whose interests obtained the
Teapot Dome please from Secretary
Fall after negotiations, which, ac
cording to the testimony heard thus
far. began immediately after the
Harding administration took office
in March. 1921.
[ Sinclair is enroute from Nurope.
i and is expected to cotne to Waaliing
1 ton to answer pertinent questions as
to his personal activities in con
nection with the negotiation of the
leases and related matters.
President (,’oolidge is manifesting
an active interest in pressing the in

THE BUSINESS BAROMETER
* -'■■■»
This Week’s Outlook in Commerce, Finance, Agricul
ture and Industry Based on Current
Developments.
BY THEODORE H. PRICE. EDITOR. COMMERCE AND FINANCE.
Copyrighted, Theodore H. Price Publishing Corp., 16 Exchange Place. N. Y.
The rumors that the investigation
now In progress at Washington will
reveal an area of corruption so wide
that it will include many prominent
political personages; the Japanese
loan, and the Intimation that the
labor ministry now' in charge of the
British government will submit the
question of a “capita! levy” 10 the
electorate, were the most discussed
items fn tlie politico-economic news
of last week.
The adjective “politico-economic"
is used advisedly, for business ail over
the world fias become so intermeshed
with poMtics that it is no longer pos
sible to consider either separately.
In so far as the political scandal at
Washington Is conceined there is a
growing fear that its involvements may
lead to a political revolution that will
have a restraining effect upon trade.
It is therefore counted as a repress
ing influence and as such it lias led to
some selling of stocks.
Similar Effect Abroad
In England the announcement that
a capital levy may ultimately he Im
posed has had a similar effect. That
there may be no misunderstanding on
the subject, it may he well to quote
exactly what ,T. It. Clynes the deputy
leader of the government In the house
of commons said. His statement made
in answer to a^question, was as fol
low's :
“We are satisfied that after some
further experience, particularly when
the matter has been thoroughly ex
amined by a competent amt impartial
tribunal, the decision will be not to
leavo the country to carry for genera
tions the enormous land of interest
which the national debt involves, but
there can be no question of appl^fng
a capital levy in/the absence of a
national mandate’’
As in Great , ilritain the rich are
enormously outnumbered by the poor,
there can hr little doubt as to how
the question will he decided if it is
submitted to a popular referendum.
Therefore it is nfJt surprising that
confirmation of Pomerene's associate,
the statement quoted has caused
great concern among the more
thoughtful members of the capitalis
tic minority on both sides the At
lantic.
Us import is not generally appre
ciated as yet but that it is destined to
become a major factor in tlie econo
mic complex of all democratic com
munities there is little doubt. The
same tl’Mrg may be said of the single
tax movement In this country. Re
cently reorganized us the ‘■common
wealth land party" it is finding Us
opportunity in the growing dissatis
faction with the Income tax and it is
announced that its candidates for
president and vice president will bo
on the ballots of thirty states at tne
coming election.
Jap Loan Oversubscribed
Rut the concern as to the remoter
future which these political develop
ments have caused has been in a
measure offset by the success of the
Japanese loan. In both London and
New York it was heavily oversub
scribed and as its proceeds (beyond
the amount required for the retire
ment of certain loans now outstand
ing) are to be spent in tlie lending
1 countries the effect ought to be an
increased demand ' the things that
j Japan requires in the work of recon
struction made necessary by the
I earthquake. To this extent the opera
i tion may he counted as a stimulating
influence although Its effect may not
be immediately apparent.
There is, however, some criticism of
the rate demanded of Japan. The
bonds go to the public in this country
on a basis tliat yields 7.10 per cent.
Of course this means that the bankers
get them on an even higher basis and
the exaction of such a return has
provoked a vigorous protest from tho
party of the opposition in Japan. In
how far this protest is important re
mains to be seen but with the ques
tion of Japanese Immigration again
forcing itself to the front we may
hear more of it In the future.
Buyina Carefully
Hut ttie success of the Japanese
loan has not entirely overcome the
chill caused l>y the known and un
known political delevolpments first
referred to. Jobbers, retailers and
svmsumers arc buying what they re
/qutre for their immediate needs and
no more.
In most sections the people are
prosperous but net exuberant or en
thusiastic. There is an utter absence
of speculative Initiative everywhere
and while but few commodities have
declined, the steadiness seems to be
due rather to the lack of selling
pressure than to the eagerness of
buyers.
Cotton is the one exception. It has
declined sharply because there is a
growing belief that the prospective
scarcity has been exaggerated. That
stocks of merchandise in the hands of
distributors are small is generally as
serted, hut to this generalization there
are some exceptions, .for there Is no
denying that the mild winter lias
made it hard to dispose of heavy
clothing and shoes.
Keports irorn me sreei umumry are
©ptlmistia. Tin and lead continue
firm, and even copper is higher. The
railroads seem to expect a large
spring business and a possible scar
city of cars, hut there is nowhere
any elation over the outlook andthe
fact seems to be that the public is
depressed and aghast over the cor
j ruption revealed nt Washington and
the prospect, of a summer of re
crimination in a presidential cam
paign of unprecendented bitterness.
For this reason it senna unlikely
that we shall have anything approach
boom before the November elections
and equally Improbable that there
will he acute depression
The normal consumptive require
ments of the country provide an
enormous business. The supply <>r
credit Is abundant. The statement
of our foreign trade for January
shows exports valued at $391,000,000,
which is $95,000,000 In excess of the
value of our imports, and the esaen- ,
tial soundness of our economic posi
tions and equally improbable that there i
great commercial activity If people
were less apprehensive over the poli
tick outlook and its implications.
