BRITISH PLAN FOR LEAGUt OF NATIONS
 OUTLINED FOR US,
Will Assist New Undevelop.
 cd States.

Paris, Jan. 24.-(By The Assoo;otod ffess. I )-Ihe British plan for a League of Nations which has just been completed, can now be outlined in concrete form to the people of the onl5ed States for the first time.
 The following details, although un- o11lclal and subject to alteration. ren, resent Tn substance the plan that will De lad before the peace conference. The maln feature provided for will oe the establishment of machinery fo, handling international dispatches. This Will be based on an agreement among the members of the league not to in terfere with the territorial integritu o1 states, or to permit others to inter. fere.
 Assistance and guidance to new and undeveloped states to maintain free. dom of transit and just commercial relations are some of the principal alms to be supervised by the League. , A committee to rule on trade in am. munltlon and arms and before which would come international problems re- latlng to economics and sanitation. will be appointed. A like central body for handling international labor ot1es. tions is provided for.
 Central Meeting Place.
 1t is held that all international bod. les now existing and any which may be created, must be brought together Tn some central place, which will be the capital of the league, and work Tn cooperation with the League if the effort to promote international CO., operation is to be successful. The British plan provides for a general conference of the delegates of all na- tions members of the league and fo, a smaller international executive coun. ell for the transaction of ordinary business.
 A permanent secretariat would be presided over by man of authority in European affairs and experience sit ting at the capital of the league with all necessary diplomatic immunities. Periodic meetings of delegates are provided for, but it is pointed out that 1t probably would be convenient for states to appoint permanent represen- tatives to the Capital, to act for their countries, until more authoritative representatives arrived.
 Every civilized state with settled government will be invited to join the League.
 Provisions for separate representa- tion for India and the British domin- ions is provided for.
 Disputes for settlement are divid- ed into two classes: justiciable and non-justiciable-and each state vii. be the final judge as to whether $ dispute is jNsticiable ar not.
 The establishment of a permanent court of international justice for the settlement of justiciable disputes is proposed and until it is created, a court of arbitration is suggested. Either a council or conference of the league is thought to be the prop CT organ for the consideration of justiciable quarrels.

ENGLAND DESIRES
 CHANGES IN HER
 MEDICAL SYSTEM

London, Dec. 24.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Changes in Englands system of medical service whereby the panel" plan now appll- cable to the poor would be extended to all classes are proposed by a gov- ernment committee. Many physicians are strongly opposing the proposals.
 For number of years, under the health insurance act, wage earners have been called upn to make small weekly payment to fund which the government uses to provide medical attention for all classes of the popu- lation affected by the insurance law. Every practicing physician must treat certain number of the so-call- ed panel" patients, receiving pay for tlfis work from the government. The new scheme provides for whole-time service, and practitioners entering It are to be graded into five classes cor responding to military rank, ranging from lieutenant to colonel.
 Class 1 would be paid s7,50O a year, class ? $5,000. and so on down the line to class which would pay S2,OOO. Examinations would be held for promotion to higher classes. Tx penses incurred by the practitioner for drugs, appliances, clinics and tray cling expenses, would be pald by the government.
 Each physician would be expected to look after between 200 and 5000 patients, The higher classes of med ical men would deal chiefly with ad- ministrative work and with the glv- ing of consultative advice. The patients would be expected to attend surgery in the morning Evening consultation would be dis continued and less visits wodid be paid at. night to patients than is done now. Work out of hours would be taken by juniors.
 All hospitals would be taken over by the government under this plan. According to the secretary ot the flow of protests from physicians Tn Wpdico-Political union, there is q the army against the scheme. ."Not one-third of the doctors want it." he said. "A clinical service is an abhorrence to both medical men and the public. We are not opposed to state control of hospitals. What we object to in the clinical system IS the destruction of the personal rela- tionshjn between practitioner and pa tient. and the abolition of free choice of doctor. The women will oe dead against it"

MT. Armour will appear before the committee again tomorrow Edward Morris, President of Morris and oCrm pany, will testify before the house committee when it meets again Mon- day.
 MT. Armour testified that Armour and Company and Morris and Con- pany conduct a packing plant jointly in Argentine, but denied in reply to a question by MT. Heney that there was any combination between the packers there in making shipments to England.
 Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, then took up the questioning of the wit ness to ask if the ratio between buy ing and selling prices was normally the same as when the prices were set by the food administration Mir. Ar mour replied that it probably was as nearly so as possible. Senator Gore then asked if it would be satisfactory to continue the present system of price fixing.
 P rice Level Agreeable.
 "If a price level such as is fixed at present by the food administration could be determined in the future it would be agreeable to the packers" |" said MT. Armour.
 Packers have assurances from the food administration that all available supplies of pork will be used during tn esummer, the witness said. z
 Did MT. Hoover go Europe to se- cure larger market for the packers ?" asked the Oklahoma Senator. l think he went to determine the needs of people there" was the reply.
 eff any packing house by it's eff ciency could kill off it's present com petitors," asked Senator Gore, Couldn't you also prevent new con- cerns starting?"
 q suppose that might be true theoretically" said MT. Armour.

 - think it would be advisable to extend the food administrotions con- trol until after peace" MT. Swift said. Ut has cut down our profits but we are satisfied"
 Mr. Swift said that passage of the slO0,0O0,000 famine relief appropri- ation would not benefit thp packers because they expected sufficient de- mand to take care of all their jro- duct, despite the enormous supplies accumulated at war prices.
 Expenditure of $40O,COO last year to counteract federal trade commits sion "propaganda' and the employ ment of Thomas F. Logan, of Wash mgton, former newspaper man, to advise Swift and company regarding publicity, attracted considerable in- terest. Henry Veeder, counsel for Swift and company insisted that the expenses came out of stockholders profits and not out of consumers"
 Any expense so unessential is a public injury in a business so vital to the country, because otherwise you could reduce your prices that much," declared Chairman Sims.
 It is such things that have put a bad taste in the public's mouth as to the packing industry"
 MT, Swift said advertisements were placed without any thought of influencing the policies of papers.
 At the close of the hearing Mir. Sims thanked MT. Swift, for being frank and not quibbling, and said he thought the witness had been given 2 "falr. square" opportunity of present ing his side. Mir. Swift said he was positive lie had.
 Asked About Profits.
 When he appeared before the Sen- ate committee. MT. Armour was ques- tioned at length by members regard ing profits. He said the stock divid- ends of 400 percent declared by his company in 1916 was made possible by accumulation of surplus since the establishment of the business but in reply to questions said this was in addition to regular dividends.
 Replying later to questions of MT. Heney, Mr. Armour said the profits of Armour and Company's South American Company last year was $10,- 000,G00 and were not included in the p, ofits of the American corporation which owns the entire stock of the South American firm. He said all the profits of the latter concern were put back into the business.
