C., Nov. 23. While yo announcement on the subject: 13 forthcoming from the White Houws3, ft appears to be settled in President Taft's mind that he will decline to be beneficiary of the Carnegie Foundation s pension fund for ex- Presidents. a His rejection of the proposal is x: pected to be announced ti advance, of formal tender of the pensigh which presumably will not/be made prior.to his retirement from officd on Mareli-fourth next. From:the little that can. be learned of the President's att tude,; he doed not-wish to pinte himself im. m.posi- tion where he might be accused of a bit of demagogy on the one hand or of disctourtesy of trustees of the atnegie Foundation on thevother in declining the pension. For that rea- Son he probabiy will express his views in a statement that will show appreciation of the m of the Car- negie Foundation and Will point out why he feels he cannot take advan- tage of it. Following the president's decision pot to discuss. -the. matter for publication, members of the cab- inet declined to. give interviews, A few of them, however, dropped hints that they were opposed to recognition of the idea that private corporation should provide for the future ease and comfort of the persons who had served as presidents, The cabinet view is that any such provision for ex-presidentss hould come from con- gress. The idea of ex-presidents be- on private corpora- tions is distasteful to many of Mr. Taft's assistants and friends. PRESBYTERINS TO: BUILD UNWERSITY (Special to the News) Regina, Nov. 22.
