has puzzled the ablest diplomats Of the
Allied nations for many months. was
taken up here today by the Council Of

Cnt. The fact that they were all ready
for today's session and were not repre-
sentcd by substitutes in any case was
taken as an indication of the impor-
tanCc the Council attached to the ST.
lCsian question.
This mornings meeting of the Coun-
ell was in the nature of an informal ex-
change of views as to procedure. The
first point to be decided at the after;
noon session was whether the Council
should accent the mission confidcd to II
by the allied Supreme Council.
ViScount Ishii. vice president of the
Council. had prepared a formal report
on Silcsia. and was ready to present the
documentary evidence placed in his
hands by the Supreme Allied Council.
In some quarters It was believed today
that the Council of the League, after
hearing the report. would decide to re-
fer the question to one of Its members
for more detailed treatment. There
was little expectation that a decision
would be announced for some consider
able time
II was anticipated that the Assembly
of the League of Nations, which will
mcct here next Monday, might be able
70 finish its work in three weeks. il was
Indicated that Paul Hymans, of Bel
GUM. would again be elected president
Of the Assembly.

But nothing definite in this regard can
be expected for some months, labor lead

conferences with the leaders Of the rail-
road unions at this time when they are
occupied with the wage reduction situa-
ton.
Probe Officials Salaries
Investigation of salaries being paid
railroad executives is being made by
the council with n view to bringing
pressure to bear TO have these salaries
reduced until other wage earners on
railroads are paid n wage sufficient to
keep them in decency and comfort"
"Details Of the proposed investigation
into the use of workers savings by
banks and insurance companies were
announced today. The council proposes
TO inquire into the present credit sys-
ten Of the country and to study the
Kenyon Rural Credit Bill. Considcra- :
tion also is to be given to q proposal
TO organize the proxy voting power of
workers who hold policies in mutual in
surance companies.
Upon the conclusion of its investiga =
tion the council is empowered TO take
whatever action it deems best and
prudent to the end that the interests.

homes, illuminated with hope and

preside as BELTS the hearthstone of
American citizenship. We want the
cradle Of American childhood rocked
under conditions so wholesome and
so hopeful that no blight may touch
it in its development, and we want to
provide that no selfish interest, no
material necessity, no lack of op-
portunity shall prevent the gaining
Of that education so essential to
best citizenship
