Definite legislative recommendations

investigating committee headed by
Charles G. Dawes. which Will make
"diligent inquiry into the Govern
ments care of disabled soldiers at
President Harding's request. A letter
addressed to Mr.. Dawes by the Presi-
dent and made public here to-day is
the first step not only in correcting
existing abuses but in building for a
long period of the future.
II should like you to make diligent
inquiry of department heads or with
those associated with them" said the
Presidents letter. lin an effort to
find out just where the Government
agencies are in any way lacking in
authority, neglectful or failing to carry
out what is the unquestioned intent OF
Congress in its enactment of laws and
the making OF appropriations. There
need be no inquiry into the intent Of
the Government, because 7 think it is
well understood that every agency de-
.sires to deal justly and generously

make inquiry into the abuses which have

know their probable effect in the fu-
