 Not withstanding formal call by the diplomatic corps for the purpose of presenting felcitations. the admin- istering the oath of office to the new secretary of the treasury, Ernesto Madeira. and interruption by scores Of officials and friends who came to con graduate him. President De La Barra found time today to formulate plans for adjustment of the most immed- lately pressing problems confronting the nation. He proposes to dissolve at once the revolutionary forces usins a portion of them to augment the ranks of the rurales that pictures que body of troops organized by Glen eral Diaz many years ago out of the country's bandits, The remainder VIII be given every assistance to secure em ployment or to return to their. homes in the various states. and all will be paid off as though having been must cred out of the regular army.
