From The Trtbnne's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July l3-Plans for
tie regrouping Of government depart-
ments Will be presented to the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet for inspection
within ten days, it was said to-day by
waiter f. Brown, executive represen-
tative on the reorganization committee.
following conference with the Presi-
dent. 1t was indicated that a bill
providing for the first steps in reor-
ganization will be drafted and intro
Guced in Congress within thirty DAYS.
The most important change provided
for, it is understood, calls for the con-
solidation of the Army and Navy de-
rartmentS under one head These
costly departments will be run by what
will be termed department of ma
tlonal defense. Mr.. Brown believes
that such a merger will result in the
greatest individual departmental saw
irg of the entire reorganization pro-
gram.
Another important feature of the re-
organization will call for the consoli-
eation of departmental investigation
agencies, including The secret service.
Efficiency and economy will be gained
by such a plan, it is felt. The Depart
lnent of Justice Undoubtedly will en-
brace all such agencies, including that
OF prohibition enforcement.
The coast guard, which has been en-
rolled under the Treasury Department
since 1779 will be split two ways. The
revenue service branch will be as
signed to the navy and the land arm, or
life saving end, to the Department of
Commerce.

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Shipping
Board officials declared to-day that the
status of the Emergency Fleet Corpo-
ration was in no wise involved in the
provisions OF the peace resolution ter
nIhating war acts. When the report
was circulated that if the President
issued a proclamation declaring war
with Germany at an end the life of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation would
immediately end, it was first thought
that Congressional action would be re-
CURED before the boards new scheme
OF operating the government fleet could

1t was definitely declared TODAY.
however, by the legal division CT the
BOARD that the Jones merchant marine
act specifically provided that the life
OF the Meet corporation was extended
until all government ships had been

Meet corporation provided that It

House Aims to End
Discussion of New
Tariff Bill To-day
Night Session Held TO Has
ten Action; Carew Says
Public No Longer Shows
Any Interest i'm Measure

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The House
ran under high pressure to-day and at
session tonight in its consideration
of the Fordney tariff bill in anticipa-
ton of the concluding of general de-
bate on the measure tomorrow. Ar
guments for and against the bill were
presented by more than a dozen mem
bers during the day, while others
added to the volume Of debate at to-
nights session.
Outstanding in the days discussion
was defense Of the bill by Represent
ative Green, of Iowa, ranking Repub
livcan on the Ways and Means Com
mittee, who contended that it would
not result in reduction of American
ITS provisions by representative Carew
of New York, a Democratic member of
the committee
Mr.. Carew attacked the American
valuation policy embodied in the bill,
and also departed from discussion of
the bills details to declare that the
countrys interest in the tariff was
tagging to the point where it no longer
regarded Congressional action on the
measure in serious manner.
Representative Hawley, of Oregon
another Republican member of the
committee, discussed the benefits which
he said, would accrue to the farmers
through the agricultural schedule. He
read statistics to show that 10000
farmers had left the land in the last
decade and inquired whether it was
not time to let them know that the
government was interested in their
problems.
The possible effect the rates would
have on the war-built merchant marine
was touched on by several DNmocrs is,
Representative kincheloe, of Kentucky
especially, inquiring whether the Re-
publican party was going "to kill the
fleet again" No ships could continue
in operation if they were able to handle
cargoes only outbound, he contended
adding that the "prohibitive rates
drawn by the Republicans would have
that result.
The Republicans were also taken to
task by Repres entative Huddeston, of
Alabama, for what he described as a
willingness on their part to "open the
Treasury to the railroads again"
Chairman Fordney of the Ways and
Means Committee told the House t..
day that while he had received letter
from President Harding relating to the
proposed duty on oil in the ,ariff bill,
it had not been intended for publica-
ton. He would present it later, he
said, probably during consideration of
the oil schedule.

Paris Gets Early Start
On Bastille Day Festival
Youngsters Dance in Streets De,

Review Called Off

PARIS. July Is (By The Associated
Press) Tho festivities in connection
with the celebration Of the anniversary
tomorrow Of the taking of the Bastille,
Frances fete day, were already in full
swing tonight, although publication
of the news that the great military
review in Longchamps had been can
celed caused many prospective WISH
tors from the provinces to remain at
home. This. with the exodus Of more
than 100000 Parisians to country and
seaside resorts made the city appear
dull in comparison with 1919, when the
victory parade was held, and 1920, when
the military review of the Allied troops
in Nincennes took place.
Despite the terrific heat, which. how
ever, showed signs of abating, the
youth of Paris danced tonight at open
air balls in the Place de la Bourse
and the Place de la Nation, as we'll
as at numerously privately organized
balls on asphalt streets, while the
older generation sat on cafe terraces
slipping cool drinks.
A torchlight parade down the boule-
wards was great success.

menting to-day upon what it terms "the
criticism of irreconcilable Senators"
that President Harding was wrong in
inviting France and Italy to con
ference in Washington, "as France in

ments," has this to say:
"1f the conference should be the
means of reviving and giving lasting

Britain, Not United on
Lloyd George as ENJOY
Personal attack Deprecated,
but Question Is Raised on
Account OF Long absence

LONDON, July 1S (By The Associated
Press).-Word has not yet reached
London whether Japan has accepted
President Harding's invitation to a
conference for the limitation of arma-
ments, but there is little doubt here
that acceptance will be Forthcoming.
The view of the Japanese Embassy of
ticials is that necessary formalities at
Toxic with reference to the invitation
have delayed the reply.
The personal attacks which have
been made in some quarters on Premier
Lloyd George and Lord Curzon in con-
nection with their possible visit to
Washington are greatly deprecated, but
they have given rise to a discussion as
to whether on general grounds it would
be advisable for the Prime Minister to
represent Great Britain.
The idea is that if the ornaments
conference materializes its sessions
would be prolonged which would keep
the various premiers from their duties
in Europe for too lengthy a period
The impression has gained ground
here that President Harding contem-
plates two separate conferences, the
first on Pacific problems and the sec
ond on general Limitation of arma-
ments, and the advocates of non hurried
negotiations point to the example of the
President, who will leave the confer
ence to Secretary of State Hughes after
It's formal inauguration, as one for the
European premiers to follow.
The Westminster Gazette, represent
ing this view, says: eve do not want
TO see the Supreme Council transfer
It's battle-ground from Europe to
America"

japanese Organ Approves
Proposal for Conference

TOXIC, July IS (By The Associated
Press).-The wisdom of a conference
between the powers on Pacific prob
lens and limitation of ornaments is
emphasized by the conservative Japan
csc weekly, The Herald of Asia, which
at the same time disapproves of the
renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alli-
national relations by exciting harmful
suspicious, especially in the United
States. The paper is of the opinion
that Americans will refuse to accept at
their face value the declarations Of
British and Japanese statesmen that
nothing exists at present or is contem-
plated in the treaty inimical to the in
terests of the United States.
This skepticism the paper considers
natural, when neither London nor
Toxic has succeeded in showing why
an alliance is needed.

never been instituted.
but while there was little word for
the public. regarding the proceedings,
the eve OF the conference saw intense
activity IN both camps. The Premier
reviewed the situation with a large
$3.50 & advisers in the solitude of his
Assenrry home while Mr.. De Valera
spent the day and the. evening in TAX
ing counsel with Arthur Griffith and
other aids accompanying him, together
with many London partisans. The
Bishops of Southwark and Portsmouth
were among the callers at the West
End Hotel. where the Irish delegation
has established headquarters.
Unofficial Conference Denied
The government unofficially sought TO
encourage the idea to-day that Mr.. De
close touch with the Premier, even
suggesting that members of the party
had been at Chequers Court during the
afternoon, but Mr.. De Valera's secre-
tary stoutly denied that there had been
any such conference. The only ex-
change OF, any sort between the two
parties, it is asserted, was the Pre-
mier's letter suggesting the hour of
meeting and the Irish leaders reply,
agreeing.
Sir James Craig, the Ulster Premier,
Is crossing from Belfast tonight and
will be at hand if the obstacles offered
by the preliminary discussions are
cleared.
To what extent the public will be
permitted to know what transpires
within the conference chamber will be
one of the questions to be determined
tomorrow. Both camps manifest the
telief that the purposes of the con-
ference would best be served by with
holding the details until conclusive
result is attained.
