LARGE PROJECT IS BEING MATURED AS
 PRELIMINARY ID
 PEACE CONF FERENCE
Britain, France, Italy and United States Creating Commission on Mari time, Financial and
 Food Questions

Paris, December 1.-(By the Associated Press.-One of the larger projects being matured as a preliminary to the peace congress is the creation of a permanent inter allied commis- sion on which Great Britain, France, Italy and the United States will be represented on all maritime, financial and food questions
 The project has been fully outlined and it will be among the main sub- iects before the supreme council of premiers, which is about to assemble in London.
 Such commission would take the place of the three temporary committees now in operation. These temporary cpm- mittees are the interallied maritime cbm- mittee, on which Raymond B. Stevens and George Reublee, of the United States shipping board, are the American mem bers; the interallied financial commit tee on which oscar T. Crosby assistant secretary of the treasury, represents America; and the food committee, on which Louis P. Sheldon. representative of the American food administrative board in the United Kingdom. is the American member.
 The functions of all three of these committees would be merged into a per- nanent interallied commission. according to the proposal now being considered. While practical advantages in perma- nent interalled commission generally are admitted by diplomats here, opposition has developed to some of it's features.
 OBJECTIONS URGED
 One objection urged by experts is that q permanent interallied commission would be the creation of body which might be represented as making unnecessary a league of nations Advocates of a league of nations urge that it should be broad enough to have representatives from all nations, whereas, the proposed permanent commission would be confined to four great powers.
 Another objection raised in some quar- ters is that the European powers would hold three-fourths of the influence of the determination of the questions com ing before the permanent commission.
 These objections, however, are con- sidered to be matters of detail and the prevailing view in the highest quarters is that a permanent commission has a good chance of being realized.
