HOUSE FAVORS WAR
 ORDERS VALUATION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Validation and adjustment by the secretary of war. of informal war contracts in volving the expenditure of more than 00,000,000, is authorized by a bill passed by the house late today, by a vote of 270 to 90. Approximately 6,6G0 contracts in this country and a large number in England, France and Italy, would be affected. A similar bill also placing adjustment in the hands of the secretary of war, was approved today by the senate military com mittee, which reversed it's previous ac- tion involving for the creation of q special commission on adjustment.
 Opponents of the bill passed by the house favored adjustment of the con tracts by a congressional committee acting with the attorney general and the secretary of war. and they sought to amend the measure to meet their views, but the amendment was voted down. Numerous other amendments were offered, but only two minor ones changing the phraseology were ac- cepted.
 Republican Leader Mann, speaking in support of the bill, said congress i could not preserve it's self-respect il l it failed to authorize payments Of con- l tracts which were made in good faith

DISCUSS SUCCESSOR
 ID EARL OF READING

l LONDON. Jan. 9.-DiScussions of a | successor to the Earl of Reading as high commissioner and special ambas sador to the United States, has always l involved the mention of Lord Robert of his interest in American affairs and ] his sympathetic attitudes toward the league of nations policy.
 The Earl of Derby has also been mentioned, since it is probable that he will relinquish his post as ambas- sador at Paris when the peace confer ence ends. Lord Derby, it is believed, does not wish to continue his diplo- matic career, and only accepted the Paris post temporarily. because the war alliance made the presence of an unusual personality there desirable. Lord Derby's large financial and other home interests naturally stand in the way of his long absence abroad.
 The Earl Of Reading recently in formed The Associated Press that he certainly would return to Washington for farwells, and the winding up of the various interests the position of higt commissioner imposed upon him.
 1t is believed that the Washington appointment has not yet been decided by the government. The members o1 the regular diplomatic establishment feel that an injustice would be done the service by the appointment to ono outside the service, as was felt WheT James Bryce was sent to Washington and, it is thought, the government may take this factor into consideration.

THREE PLANS CLAIM
 CONGRESS ON ROADS
Continued From Page One)

lConunued From Page One) fore the peace conference itself. While conferences are proceeding regarding organization of the big conference, to- day attention was chiefly given to the important subject of league of nations.
 Secretary of State Lansing and Col- onel Edward NJ. House were. eloseted for some time with Lord Cecil Robert, and it is believed that comparison was being made of the plans prepared sep arately by the American and British specialists on this subject. The Amer jeans have virtually completed their project although they are not ready to disclose any of it's details. It may be said, however, that with the general ideas of both the British and the French in their possession. confidence is ex- pressed that a complete agreement may be expected on a plan that will embody ! practically working means and regula- tion of relations between nations, that will reduce to minimum the chances of future wars.
 Another subject receiving attention as demanding immediate action on the part of the entente allies and the ] United States. is the -victualling of 1 Poland and Finland. and also those parts of Czecho- Slovakia and Juso- ] i through the territory of the central l powers.
 Experts have arrived in Paris. having been summoned from Sweden and other portions of Scandinavia. who are famil- jar with conditions in Poland and Fin land. They report the situation very serious. Relief work can be extended only through some relaxation of the 1 blockade regulations, still in force, un- der the terms of the armistice As these regulations are mainly in the hands of the British navy, it will be | necessary to secure the assent of the British government to any relief meas nres Herbert c. Hoover and the food commission, which he heads, have pre- pared.
