nanc.al commission. one Of the duties
Of whici, would be to examine meas
ures for preventing monopolies in raw
materials and tin, means Of controlling
their distribution.
The resolution is based on Article
% of the covenant, which assures all
states equitable treatment. 1t is sup
ported chiefly by Italy. Switzerland
and other countries not rich in raw ma
terials.
One of the strongest opponents of
the resolution is George T.. Foster of
Canada. who has taken the same at
titude at n. w. Rowell. also of Canada,
who served notice on the Assembly in
an impressive speech recently that any
attempt to exercise such control would
be regarded as interference in internal

Mr.. Rowell at the same time said
that the entry Of the United States
could not be hoped for if any such in

abolishing the high commands and
substituting councils. for them.
This new plan which is product
of imagination Of our commander
will democratize the entire army
system" said one Of d'Annunzio, I'M
der the new plan, retains the title Of
"commandante" and the councils
will be subordinate to him. There
are councils, respectively. Of opera
tons, provisioning. recreation, 'engi-
neering. tactics and other army af-
fairs. All member Of the councils
will be equal in rank, although re-
tanning the grades they were entitled
to in the regular Italian army, when
in the field. All the members Of the
councils are chosen by d'Annunzfo
and all their actions must be en-
dorsed by him.
1t was the insistence of d'Annun-
zio on the adoption of this latest
scheme Of his which has caused his
disagreement with General Seccheri-
nj, his commander in chief. who de-
serted the soldiers Friday with a
number Of officers of the higher
grades. The d'Annunzian army's
leading places are now filed with
captains and lieutenants who are
manifesting prides in their new re-
sponsibilites.
In consequence the guns are thun-
dering daily from both the land and
sea batteries, where the youthful
commanders are trying out their own
systems of warfare and experiment
ing in handling troops and warships.

LEGION HEAD SAYS
RED TAPE WORKS
INJURY TO VETERANS

washington, NOV. st-RSpreSen-
tatives of the American Legion in
formed officials of the War Risk In
surance Bureau, the Federal Board
for Vocational Education and the
United States Public Health Service
today that the legion proposed to
urge measures designed to cut red
tape in the bureaus and "to compel
the government to function" in it's
dealings with discharged and dis
abled service men.
The legion representatives who
met here with the heads of the three
bureaus to- discuss a plan to combine
the work of the bureaus, made the
position OF the legion clear; declaring
that it proposed to press for legisla-
ton consolidating functions of the
three government agencies and doing
away with long winded talk about
cooperation and coordination"
John Sherbourne of Boston. a men,
Der Of the legion committee admon-
ished the government conferees that
If the proposed consolidation de-
stroyed their present organizations"
it would simply have to go ahead
and Destroy
DIR. c. w. Lavender, representing
the public health service made a plea
for the continuation of "other work
in the health service outside of that
done for the veterans of the world
war;" saying that his bureau had
many other functions in addition to
the work with disabled veterans.
Il have read every one of your ap-
preparation bills" Mr.. Sherbourne
replied. and Il find that the money
you have to spend for the soldiers,
sailors and marines is much greater
than for all other purposes combined.
Now. we don't want to be rough and
We do not want to impair or handi-
cap any governmental agency I'M
necessarily. but l will go to the line
on this. We are faced with the prob.
lem of government agencies not
functioning and we do not want to
propose to permit any single agency
to stand in the way"
Robert Marx, Cincinnati member of
The legion committee. declared it ap-
peared each of the three agencies eff
fected by the proposed changes, was
seeking to retain it's separate entity
and was opposing the program solely
because 1t meant the concentration of
the three bureaus under the direction
OF one responsible head. This was
declared by the bureau representa-
tives to be an incorrest representa-
ton of their position. All declared
their Willingness to work out a plan
which would yield better results.
The consolidation plan as outlined
by the legion representatives propos-
es the creation of an assistant Sci
rotary in one Of the executive depart
ments, probably in the treasury, to
have direct charge of the work of
the three bureaus having to do with
ex-service men. The government
representatives. r. G. Cholmes1ey.
JOINS. director of the war risk insur--
ance bureau, Uelt Lamkin, member
OF 1.-THE vocational education board
and DR.. Lavender approved this feat
ure Of the plan but doubted the ad-
visibility Of actually combining the
three bureaus.
Several members of the election
committee will remain here to COM
plete drafting Of the proposed bill.
The three bureaus reported at today's
conference have assured the commit.
tee they will aid in this work.
