DIFFERENCES

REFUSAL TO OFFER

Geneva, Dee. II (By the Associated

ment to-day if possible.
The original report Of the mandates
commission was sharp arragnment
of the council, but the language used
was considerably softened by the full
committee after debate on the floor OF
the assembly. The council declined
to submit drafts of the mandates ex-
cept upon a promise by khe commits
sion that no reference to the provi-
sions OF the mandates would be made
in the report to the assembly.
Disposal of this question, acting
upon three more applications for
membership and decision relative to
the league budget were all that re-
manned to-day to be disposed of dur
ing this session of the assembly. Hope
was expressed that this work might
be finished to-day so that to-mor-
rows final session might be devoted
to the ceremonies of closing. 1t seemed
prohale that Rene Niviani, head of the
French delegation, would appear to-
morrow, having been solicited by many
delegates to make the principal closing
speech
The applications Of Albania, Lichten
stein and Ukraine were before the as
sembly to-day. Albania was the only
one having chance for admission.
The committee on admission of new
states were unanimously adverse to
granting membership TO the other two,
but Albania had strong partissns in
Lord Robert Cecil representative for
South Africa, and ~ w. Rowell of

The action of the committee in rec

10 10 the Italian ambassador by Balm
bridge Colby. American secretary of
state, who stated the United States
policy was that decision should be held
in abeyance concerning territories
carved out Of the former Russian EN-
pire.
It seemed probable that American
objections to giving control Of Alba
mia to any other country would be in
voked to-day in favor Of its admis
sion to the league II was also argued
that since Albania is surrounded by
present members of the league, no risk
would be incurred under article y Of

BRISISH UNEMPLOYMENT
IS SERIOUS PROBLEM
Nearly Every Trade Affected and
About 100000 are Out OF
Employment.

London. Dee. .--Unemployment in
Great Britain which has been steadily
growing, has created serious prob
| lem, which during the last few days
has become more urgent owing TO the
advent of severe weather. Nearly ev
cry trade in the country is affected.
Official statistics show that about
100000 are without occupation at pres
emit. 1t is admitted, however, that this
is far below the real figure, as there
are many without work who have not
been reached.
Labor circles declare the actual num-
Der of men out of employment is fully
100000 Upon a majority OF these
there are dependents and the total
number of persons suffering from the
present conditions is placed at from
100000 to 100000, a large proper
tion being former soldiers.
In several places, municipalities and
other organizations have begun i'm
provement works, the cost of which
will be paid out of local taxes. The ma
tional executive of the labor party
yesterday PASSED a resolution declar-
ing the present scandal of innocent
starving persons cannot be allowed to
continue" and calling upon the gov
eminent to maintain persons for whom
no work is available. The government
is asked TO pay each man forty shil-
lings per week and each woman %
shillings with additional allowances for
dependents This. il is asserted, could
be done for ten weeks for 'the modest
sum Of $4,000, 600" In the mean
time the government il giving close
attention to the problem and Thomas
]. MacNamara. minister of labor, an
nounced yesterday a plan expected TO
provide work for 10000 men. They
would be employed in construction of
buildings and the scheme will be sub
mitted to the building trades union
next Monday for final acceptance or re-
lection.
This win be a elimination Of long
standing trouble. the union having for
many months refused TO allow I'M
skilled workers and non-unionists to
cooperate with members of the organ
ization in much needed building work.
Mr.. MacNamara limited il the union
persisted i'm its refusal, the govern
ment would take some action to de-
feat its embargo. He added, however,
he preferred to take an easier path.
Newspapers are daily giving more
space to the problem. which threatens
serious trouble unless quickly and sal
solved.

Resolutions Adopted By the School
Superintendents.
We recommend that professional
code be formulated in regard to the re-
lations of the educational forces of the
state.
We recommend that the state board
issue regulations defining standard
school building, both high, graded and
rural buildings.
We recommend that more attention
be paid to the kind of transportation
vehicles, suggesting that regulation
school barges be used.
The committee believes that i'm
provement in service" forms one of the
most important considerations both for
teachers and superintendent To this
end we recommend no new or strange
device, but rather seek to- emphasize
the Importance of reading circles and
Study classes with definite plans ar

Gals are a neees sary means for this
work and they should be supplied.
Teacher training classes have been
found valuable aids in this connection
where such exist. Suggestions and
words OF encouragement from the SUI
perintendent help greatly. District
meetings, where practicable, for gen
eral discussion add to the interest and
are particularly helpful to young
teachers.
Supply of teachers; We recommend
that the supply of teachers may be in

In recommending the appropriation
| to increase the insurance sinking fund
! established by the legislature of last
session, the budget committee cites the
, amount of premiums paid during the
last year and half, and that suf-
fcent appropriation ought to be made
to complete a fund of 100000, which
should be properly invested and would,
in the judgment of the committee, be
sufficient to establish adequate pro-
lection against future losses at less
cost to the state.
The report cites the action of the
budget committee in making provision
last year for the care and preparation
for use of the trucks and machinery
consigned to the highway department
by the federal government for use in
highway construction and recommends
an appropriation of 100000 TO meeU
the continuing expenses OF inns pdFtlt-
ular activity of the highway depart
ment.
Reason for Vermont State Surplus.
One of the interesting things in con
nection with making up the state bud
get, which the committee has just re
leased for publication, is the reason
for the surplus of 100000 In the
first instance 100000 of the surplus
is due to the fact that it has not been
necessary to expend that sum in the
sale of bonds and il will not have to
be done; and in the second place,
when the budget committee one year
ago made its estimate for 1920 and
1921. the committee figured on 100000
less revenue than was received. The
reason why they did not expect the
S600,OO0 was due to the fact that they
did not expect after the war that the
savings deposits would hold up. They
expected decrease but, in fact, an in
crease in deposits occurred; and again
they did not expect the corporation
taxes would increase, but they have.
Therefore, there has been 5000, 900 more
revenue in that form received than
expected.

The Ohio players report no diff

to the southern California climate,
while those from Berkeley are nat
urally quite at home, especially as
many of them are southern Cali

various high school teams of this

While the Bears say nothing to
indicate er-confidence. football
experts and sport writer's of Pasa-

The Buckeye players are receiv-
ing much attention from former
residents of Ohio and former stu
dents of the big Ten" are plan
ming to give them abundant vocal
encouragement during the progress
OF the game.
Tickets are far too few to meet
the demand, officials of the Tourn-

Both teams will practice on
