La Toilette Says Control Of Their
 Government Issue
 Before US. Public

WASHINGTON, April 16 The great issue before the American peo- people today is ccntroi of their own government, Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin declared in an address to- night to the founders of and "Peo- ple's Legislative Service"
 "A mighty power has builded so strongly, set so insidious and far reaching in it's influence" he said, that men are gravely inquiring whether its iron grip on government and business can be broken.
 Again and again 1t has proven strong enough to nominate the can didate for both parties. It has dom mated the organization of legislative bodies and of the committees which frame legislation. Its influence has been felt in cabinets and in the pol icies of administrations and has been clearly seen in the appointment of prosecuting officers and the selec- tion of judges"
 Declaring that never before had Washington attracted so menacing an army of lobbyists seeking unjust concessions to special interests" he named 19 ~great combinations of financial power which maintain &C., tive organizations in Washington.
 The organizations mentioned were
 
 merce: National Association of Man. ufacturers: National Association O. Meat Packers: National Coal asso- citation; Wholesale Coal Dealers as- sociation; National Petroleum asso- citation; National Water Power asso citation. National Lumber Manufac turtrs' association: National Asso- citation for Protection of American Rights in Mexico: Lumbermen's bu- reau; American Beet Sugar aseocla- ton; American Cane Sugar sssocia- ton: United States Sugar Manufac. turers' association; Hardware Man ufacturers' association: National Gamers association; National Asso- ciation of Real Estate boards: Amer ican Railway association; Associa- tion of Railway Security Holders. and the Association of Railway Ex- ecutives.
 "To meet this intolerable situa- tion,' the senator urged support o1 the Peoples Legislative Service, !" comprising representatives of labor organizations, progressive farmers ganizations and leaders of liberal opinion, the prime object of which he said, was to keep watch on and ana1yze legislation with a publicity division to inform the people.

Secretary Hoover Illustrates N e e d Of Reorganizing
 Federal Agencies
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-Sec- retary Hoover today resigned as president of the American Engineers council of the Federaten American Engineers Societies. The resigna- tion was accepted.
 Illustrating the need for reorgani- zation of the federal government, Secretary Hoover declared in an ad dress before the council tonight that so many independent agencies re- porting to the president had grown up that the executives office was "overburdened almost beyond the point of endurance
 While all these outside organiza- tions could not be placed under ex- isting departments, he said much could be done to remedy the dupli- cation Of conflicting forces in the ex ecutive branch.
 "The question of government aids to navigation is not by any means one of the principal functions of our government" he said, but it must be a sore trial to the hearty mariner. He must obtain his domestic charts from the department of commerce, his foreign charts from the navy de- partment and his nautical almanac from the naval observatory-and he

He will anchor at the direction of the army, who rely On the treasury to enforce their will. 1 His boilers and lifeboats are inspect ed by the department of commerce. his crew Is certified by one bureau in l commerce. signed off in the presence of another and inspected at sailing | by the treasury and on arrival by the department of labor"
 ] A similar story, Mir. Hoover said could be told of the governments re- | lations to industry and to domestic and foreign commerce. Economy could be made, he asserted, by plac-
 ing most of these functions under one head.

IF LEAGUE URGES
 U. {. DELEGATE
 AT NEXT MEET
Secretariat Sweeter Says Mandate Question Can Be Handled Better By Personal Conversation Than By Notes
TRepubIIcan A p. Leased wire1

IA. A the work to be undertaken by the va rious commissions of the league of nations this summer has been pre- pared by Arthur Sweetser of the sec retariat of the league. Preparations for this work were made at the last meeting of the council of the league which ended in Paris March 4.
 MT. Sweetser points out in his fore cast of the seasons work of the league that the situation affecting the mandates over about 13,000,000 of backward peoples will again be brought up for discussion at the next meeting of the council in May.
 Hope is expressed by the represent aive of the secretariat that the United States will be represented at i. this meeting. It will be recalled that the council at its meeting in February and March was discussing the man. dates when 1t received note from the United States government ascer- taining that the United States must be consulted on any question relating to the mandates, protesting against the allocation to Japan of the island of Tap and the other German islands in the North Pacific and claiming equal commercial opportunity in the Mesopotamian oil region, assigned to Great Britain under a mandate. In pointing out the desirability that the United States should be represented at the next meeting of the council to consider these subjects, MT. Sweetser says:
 Not only are the members of the council really sincere in believing that a question so sdffffcifft as this can very much better be handled by personal conversation than by the exchange of notes. but there is every reason to believe that 1t would be far easier for them to meet the American viewpoint in this way than it would be if negotiations were continued by cable
 Want Personal Talk
 Participation in this discussion would not, of course, affect Americas relation to the league in any way or involve America in membership in the league, but would be resorted to simply as the most direct and effect i've method of protecting American rights and interests in a question over which 1t is obvious that the league has been given authority
 The disarmament commission, headed by the former premier, Viv- Ianf of France, Fisher of Great Brit ain and the former premier, Orlando of Italy, will begin its labors shortly. Commenting thereon, MT. Sweetser says:
 Tn view of the foundations already laid by the different elements of the league, 1t would seem difficult to initiate any productive disarmament plans outside the league except upon the single question of naval reduc- ton, which depends very largely, of course, on the United States.
 Mir Sweetser points out that the disarmament commission is one of the strongest bodies yet brought to- gether by the league in that it is representative not only of the more important nations. members of the league. but also includes experts in economies, finance, labor, politics and military subjects from the various

President Harding For Boys SWinnin' Hole In Ohio Town

WASHINGTON, April 16. - Boy hood days of President Harding when he used to slip off to the old swim ming hole in the creek near Gale donia, Ohio. were recalled by him today in reply to a letter in lead pencil from 12-year-old John D. Wackerman of this city.
 The presidents letter was in answer to an appeal from John that he attend a ball given by the ladies of the community house for the benefit of a swimming pool for boys. In ex- blaming that he had been asked by his playmates to write the President, John said:I
 MT. President. we want a swim ming pool just like you would if you were a boy, so please come. I told the boys that I did not believe any president would let the boys go without a swimming pool when he could let us have it by paying 50 or 75 cents for a ticket for a ball. If you come, everybody will come, and we can have our swimming pool, so i please come"
 In a postscript, John added: us know. The fellows are so dis i coura ged to think we can't have a | pool"
 The president replied: l My dear John: l received your letter this morning. 1 am exceeding l ly glad you wrote me about this John, because I do not want the boys to think I am not interested in their getting a swimming pool I have used swimming pools myself and there are one or two swimming pools in the creek near Caledonia, Ohio that I would like to get into again right now, if it were possible
 You tell the boys I hope the bal will raise all the money that is need ed to provide the pool and that Ii some of you will come around to the White House with some tickets I will buy some, whether l can attend ol not.
 Yours for the swimming pool.
