SALES TO BE SUPERVISED

Government purchasing agents. sup

inventory of the material on hand

tor Of the budget, plans to start this

upon as soon as the wheels begin to

and paying current prices for 1t, will
not be centered in any one department,
it was learned last night on good
authority. This fear has prevailed in
some Of the departments, and the ex-
pected jealousies have cropped up
and. those in charge of formulating
the new plan realize that it would
nullify the efforts to bring about effi-
cient methods with regard to the
disposal of surplus property to place
it's distribution under one branch of
the government.
While existing machinery will be
used at first, 1t was said. it will be q
coordination Of egorts now widely
distributed. When the inventories of
property are completed they will be
centered in the budget officer, and
there, too. will be the orders for sup
plies for which other departments are
about to go int othe open market
The needs will be examined, and then
the fnventories will be examined, and
property needed by one department
will be transferred to the other, thus
saving thousands of dollars which
might have been spent and for which
are being made

pate In the discussion of the far east
ern question, and the efforts pf the
British dominion premiers to bring
about a postponement of the meeting.
Officials of the government remain
ed confident, however, that out of
the deliberations of the diplomatic
advisory council at Toxic would come
the announcement Of an agreement
that would be in accord with the gem
eral plan for the discussion OF far
eastern subjects. and that European
opposition to a conference as early
as November would not be persisted
in to the point Of causing serious de-
lay. Confidence in the ultimate deci-
sion of japan was heightened by AS
sociated Press dispatches from Toxic
quoting newspapers of the Japanese
capital as agreed that Japan will
enter the conference
Fav0rs Early Date
It has been clearly explained to the
British government that the United
States continues to favor q date not
later than November II for the OPEN
ing of the conference, although it is
understood that insistence on that fea-
ture was not carried so far as to indi-
cate an unalterable determination. A
counter-suggestion, said to have been
made, was to advance the date Of the
conference with the thought that the
dominion premiers may be able to Join
in the discussions prior to the date
fixed for the convening Of the legisla-
tive bodies Of their countries.
Policy Of Give and Take. L
officials of the government have at
tempted to make it plain that they
desire to follow a policy of give and
take in making arrangements for
the conference and in preparing the
agenda- Secretary Hughes apparent
optimism regarding the controversy
that has arisen with Japan over the
character of the program is believed
to be due largely to- pursuance of
such a policy. and it has been tndi-
