Feb. 25, President-elect Harding's selection of Herbert Hoover to be ' secretary of commerce in the coming administration finally was confirmed by Mr. Harding today after a series . of developments that at one 'time seemed likely to lead to cancellation of the appointment. . Mr. "Harding announced that he had found himself in perfect, accord. with the policies urged by Mr. Hoover as a condition of his entering the cabinet, and that the entire incident had been closed with a definite acceptance from the former food administrator. Confirms .Wallace. At the same time the president-elect virtually confirmed also the selection of Henry Wallace of Iowa to be secretary of agriculture. The selection of Mr. Wallace has been well known for some time although previously Mr. Harding had declined to discuss it. With developments moving toward final confirmation of his tentative cabinet slate. President-elect Harding took a holiday from cabinet making and motored to Jacksonville today for a visit of courtesy. He will retnrn j here tonight. Unusual Status. Under the circumstances Mr. Hoover will enter the cabinet with an unusual status. So far as is known here, no other member has outlined a department policy in detail as a condition of accepting his portfolio.

Recourse io measures of reprisal against the United States because of the adoption of the Fordney emergency tariff bill by the American congress is not necessary at present, says La Nacion. in an editorial on the tariff measure. The newspaper says that the passage of the bill by congress might be j disagreeable to Argentina as "showing the lack of consideration for ties that have ben stretched between the two J countries." but it expressed belief that the United States will suffer from the "two-edged plan," even more than Argentina. Can Buy and Sell. "Argentina," the newspaper declares "can buy and sell without trouble in the world markets and the Fordney bill will increase the cost of living in the United States and strangle its foreign trade. Argentina must, however,, take defensive measures before unsheathing the lance of a tariff war. We should first choose wisely and efficiently to make our coldness and absence felt by markets seriously needing us. The gap . left by our withdrawal will teach ' lessons that will cause reaction more profitable than the initiation of a commercial vendetta."
