NEW JUVENILE COURT
LAW TO BE TAKEN UP
Commission on Public Welfare to
Discuss Subject at Public Hear
ing Wednesday.
ASK CHANGE IN BILL
Cramton Measure for Feeble
Minded Discussed.

The commission on public welfare
Legislation will hold public hearing
in the boardroom of the District
building at $3.50 Wednesday afternoon
to consider new Juvenile Court law
for the District.
William Hodson, consultant to the
commission, said today that the com
mission is not committed to any def
mite plan for reorganizing that court,
but will offer as the basis for discus
sion at the hearing the recommenda-
tions made by former commission
appointed by the Attorney General
in 1914
One of the principal aims of the
commission in dealing with the Juye-
nile Court will be TO eliminate the
criminal nature of proceedings
against children and to give such
cases the character of equity pro
ceedings.
To Ask Law Changes.
The commission, at an executive
meeting yesterday, decided to recon
mend to the Commissioners certain
changes in the Cramton bill providing
a method for committing persons to
the new Home for Eeeble-Minded.
The commission will recommend
that instead of creating a new board
of seven members to operate the
institution for the feeblem minded that il
be placed under the board of charities.
Then, if the proposed public welfare
board is created by Congress later to
bring about unified control of all wei
fare work in the District, the direc-
ton of the home for the feeble minded
would be placed automatically under
that board along with all other func
tions of the board of charities.
The bill for creation of a board of
public welfare to take the place Of
existing independent boards is now
pending before a subcommittee OF
tthe House District committee.

British Navy Plans
To Seize Dutch Oil,
Australians Charge

10y The Federated PresS)
SYDNEY, N. S. W., April 16.-That
the militarists and imperialists OF
Britain, unless checked by the British
Labor government, intend to seize the
Dutch oil supplies in the East Indies,
is the charge made by the Australian
Worker. the leading labor journal in
Australia.
Says the Worker:
1.-THE next world war, unless II can
be prevented, will be an oil war. Up
to date the imperialists of Britain
have been outmaneuyered in the fight
to secure domination in the oil world.
Now they have awakened to the fact
that Singapore dominates what is gen.
orally known to be one of the richest
oil regions in the world-the East In
dies.
IF the imperialists OF Britain sue
coed in their efforts, these oil fields
sooner or later are going to be seized
in the name OF British patriotism
And a naval base at Singapore would
provide an admirable jumping-off
place when the gong sounded.
"The seizure of the East Indian oil
fields is the real purpose behind the
Singapore scheme. II the British La.
Dor government turns II down, and
halts the mad rush for oil supremacy
there will be no world war in the near
future. There is peace in the far east
and in the Pacific, and that peace will
continue as long as the British i'm
perialists are prevented from having
their way in that part Of the globe"
