MEANS TO CONTROL
CHARITIES SOUGHT
President May Ask Congress
for Some Regulatory
! Laws.

70 insure the proper distribution
Of funds collected for charitable pur-
poses in the District of Columbia, a
bill governing the organizations and
individuals engaged in soliciting
money for charity probably will be
introduced at the next session OF
Congress.
1t is known that President Coolidge
and members of his cabinet are inn
pressed strongly with the necessity
for some regulation of the distribu-
tion of charity and that something
should be done to remove what they
are represented as believing to be a
real evil. The matter was discussed
at some length at the cabinet meet
ing today and although it is under
stood that no definite conclusion was
reached regarding plan of action.
IL is int'mated, however, that the
Presidents interest will be made
known to Congress and that the
preparation of the necessary legis!a-
ton Immediately will be entered
upon.
Toll of Overhead.
A spokesman for the President to-
day s iii that information received
by the Pres dent and members of the
cabinet show very plainly that only
uted annually for charity ever
reaches its intended destination. 1t
IS pointed out that in most cases the
overhead and running expenses of
the organizations engaged in collect
ing money for charity are so great
shat they generally eat up the major
portion of the contributions. The
President and his cabinet, after re-
viewing the situation. are represent
ed as believing that there should be
greater protection for the giver of
money 10 charity and for the ulti-
mate receiver or beneficiary.
1t has been suggested that If the
government is to take steps to cor
rect this alleged evil it either
should bring about the creation of q
central charity agency or else
stringent government supervision
over the existing charity organiza-
tions It is contended that few of
the latter make any reports con-
rerning their activities for the dis
posal Of the money collected by
them.
1t iS considered likely that the
bill to be prepared will be confined
entirely to the jurisdiction of the
District OF Columbia. but that the
effort of another nature will be made

PARIS, May 29.-Belgium's plan
to make Germany, according to LIE
Matin suggests the formation in the

bacco together with the exploitation
of the railroads and state property.
The proposed monopolies would be
managed by international syndicates
on which the allies would be well
represented.
The newspaper says Premier
Theunis estimates that this plan
would furnish a minimum of 2,400,-
100000 gold marks annually. 1t
would have the advantage of making
Germany's debt a commercial one
and would mean that she would find
ways of meeting it within her own
