virtually this Is as far as Italian
penalties against Greece are likely
to proceed, according to present in
dications. The cry goes up in press
and political circles that Greece
must meet the italian demands, but
there is no intimation that Italy will
insist on carrying out to the let
ter Premier Mussolinfs ultimatum.
There are general demands for the
fulfillment Of the italian terms. but
no stand is taken that Italy is not
ready to discuss the question.
1t is the unanimous feeling that
Italy should be Arm in refusing to
permit Interference by other powers
and it is pointed out that France has
practically been given a free hand
in the occupation Of the Ruhr and
the occupation of Corfu by Italy was
carried out according to the same
principle. namely. for the payment Of
reparations.

buildings occupied only two government

condition from this standpoint.
He emphasizes that the difficulties
of administration present a serious
problem. In all the large bureaus.
such. for example, as the bureau OF
plant industry, the chief has to have
frequent conferences With his prin-
cipal men When they have to come
from nine buildings. far apart, seri-
Gus and costly delays are caused. The
necessary intercommunication be-
tween divisions and bureaus in the
transmission Of papers and books
also complicates the problem.
Besides the delays. this requires a
larger messenger force than would
otherwise be necessary. means ad-
ditional truck service and in some
cases makes duplication in the cler-
ical force necessary.
Secretary Wallace's recommended
tions. based on the report of the
special committee which carefully
studied the problem from a business
standpoint. are:
First. to complete the connecting
link between the two wings occupied
by the bureau Of plant industry and
the bureau of animal industry. This
has been awaiting action for more
than fifteen years. The Treasury
hna hax
connecting link would cost about
100000
Second. he advises that a city square
be acquired south OF the main De-
partment of Agriculture reserva-
tion--that is. south OF B street south
west-and that thereon should be
constructed big office building OF
plain factory type, six stories highs
which the Treasury estimates say
would cost s4,35o.0oo for site and
building.
Those two items he recommends
for immediate action.
Then. as a future program Secre-
tary Wallace proposes the construc-
tion of large office building on the
north end OF the Department Of
Agriculture grounds. This would
have seven wings left open on the
south side. This building would be
OF gray granite base and white
marble facing Of the same type as
tho two wings now occupied by the
bureaus Of plant and animal in
dustry and would conform with fine
arts commission requirements. The
cost of this building is estimated at
$4,000. 900.
The fourth item Of Secretary Wal
lace's proposal is that in q few years
the open wings be Joined together
by new building on the south side
identical with the north front. which
would cost about 100000 more.
This would mean an ultimate ex-
penditure Of $15,35o,o00. The Score
.tary's Recommendations, however. on
which he has received encourage
mont from the members OF the appro-
priations committees Of the House
and Senate, are that s3.0o0.0o should
be appropriated the first year, made
continuingly available until expend-
ed; with s3,350,oo0 appropriated the
pended.
One point about the housing Of the
Department of Agriculture which is
generally overlooked. but which Sec
rotary Wallace and his committee
had to take into careful consideration
It that the Department of Agriculture
has thirteen scientific bureaus which
require extensive laboratory space,
and which make the moor space re-
quirement for the department very
large. In some instances, per man.
