White House today. preliminary to
Congress as to realignment in the de-
partments and bureaus.
The President expects to have his
report on the proposed program ready
to submit to the joint committee in
a short time. probably next week.
Senator Smoot, speaking for the COM
mit:ee after the conference. declared
that splendid progress" has been
made on the plan.
One Of the main difficulties standing
in the way of the completed program
is the question of the consolidation of
the War and Navy depa artments into
a grea. department Of defense. it is
understood. The question of proposed
transfers of several bureaus in the
Departments of Agriculture and In
terror also are proving troublesome.
New Conference Planned.
When the committee would be able
to make a report to Congress. SEN
ator Smoot indicated. is uncertain, ae
according to present prospects it
would be necessary to conduct ex-
tensive hearings. at which full op-
portunity would be granted for pre-
senting all sides OF the question.
Although splendid progress was re-

lasting for about an hour, and upon
the conclusion of the conference all

Senator Smoot declined to comment
upon the reported plans of the depart

If sentiment in this direction develops
further, as the peace lovers hope, their
efforts will be centered on the point,
which, they fear. will prove the chief
dif1culty--the unwillingness of the ir-
regulars to surrender their arms Their
friends here point out that peace be-
tween the British and the Irish was
delayed by the same difficulty and was
only obtained when the British waived
their demand for the surrender Of arms,
such as is now made by the Irish gov
ernlnent.
Resolutions of public bodies being
passed in favor of peace are instanced
as indicating that public feeling is tend
ing to favor accommodation between the
two parties. In~.this state of affairs
the senate peace committee hopes to
intervene by. establishing relations with
men in touch with the heads Of the
irregulars. There is no indication, how
ever. that the Free State government
will consent to permit the existence Of
