Harding nominates Kenyon to Eighth Circuit judgeship
President Harding sends to the Senate the nomination of Senator Kenyon of Iowa to be judge of the Eighth Circuit. The Senate passes the foreign loan refunding bill 30 to 25. Prohibition officials plan arming whisky warehouse guards with shotguns to deter Aquor bandits. The naval treaty article on fortified unions in the Pacific is agreed by the US Great Britain and Japan. The Supreme Court recesses until February 27. The government denies whisky owners the right to withdraw bonded liquor for home use. A Bolivian representation request for the Ancon treaty is refused. A tax for soldiers bonus is opposed. The Shantung issue is settled for now among Chinese and Japanese delegates. Harding asks departments to aid unemployment relief. The national agricultural conference advocates shared deflation to align prices with agriculture.

Lane on Washington reform and civil service merit
In his final report to the President Franklin K. Lane argues for a shift from a rough public administration to a period of intensive development. He calls for more capable individuals, greater responsibility, faster promotion, higher pay, and centralized merit-based staffing beyond the civil service law of 1883 to reduce inefficiency and turnover.
