Rome. Sept. l4.-F-On the NOR
row of sweeping reorganization Of the
Fascist ministry, with the relinquish.
ment by the duce Of all but one Of
his cabinet posts, Premier Bcntto
MusSolini today reviewed tho work
done by the fascist government in an
address to the grand assembly Of the
party IN the venezia palace.
The Duce, after recounting the
governments achievements and its
plans for land reclamation OH vast
scale. dwelt at length on the relations
between church and state. Before
going on to trkc up the intriguing
question Of the reorganization Of the
ministry.
He minimized the importance Of
certain differences of views between
Rome and the vatican, saying the
new rules established by the Lateran
treaties we're working well. But he
emphasized the point that the change
IN name of the ministry Of public in
struction to the ministry Of national
education. was intended to confirm
in the most explicit manner the prin-
ciple the state alone has not only the
right. but the duty. to educate people
instead Of merely instructing them.
His views appeared to be somewhat
In conflict with the previously cx-
pressed opinion Of Pope Plus.
Speaking Of the recent reorganiza-
tiOn Of the cabinet. the Duce said the
new administration bears still more
the Fascist imprint which. however,
did not mean that the dictatorship
did not permit criticism.
What is forbidden. he emphasized,
is attack on what are the fundamen-
tai principles Of the Fascist revo-
luton.
The composition Of the Fascist
grand council is to be modified, Mus
solini saying that with the present
So members it was impossible to dis
cuss or decide anything In secret The
general staff Of the party would be
reduced to q minimum.
.Fascism is unique and the only
new thing that the first 80 years Of
this century have seen in the political
as we'll as the social field" the Duce
said.

washington, Sept. l4.-(F,-Anxious
to avoid all possible delay In the con-
sidcrati0n OF the tariff bill. the senate
debate today dispensed with its usual
Saturday holiday.
Although the administrative pro-
visions Of the measure framed by the
Republicans Of the finance committee
were the official subject OF debate,
general attacks upon the bill by
Democratic members and replies from
the Republican side Of the chamber
were proving the accepted order Of
procedure.
Thus far, two Democrats. Simmons
Of North Carolina. the minority lead
cr Of the finance committee. and
Harrison Of Mississippi, together with
Brookhart OF Iowa. member Of the
independent Republican group that
has allied itself with the Democrats
In opposing the Republican measure
have assailed the bill with denunci-

Brookhart late yesterday told tn

BABY CARRIAGES A PROBLEM

Koenigstcin. Germany, Sept. IA
R,-Today was packing day for Brit
ish troops In this Taunus mountain
spa, to which has fallen the happy
lot Of being the first Rhineland point
evacuated BY the British under the
agreement reached at the Hague re-
parations conference In August.
It was packing day, not moving day,
as the troops had hoped. It was orr
ginally planned to have the evacua-
ton begin today, but bureaucratic
difficulties necessitated postpone
ment until Monday.
Four hundred officers and men are
stationed here, and they will be trans
ported in groups during the next fort
night SO that Koenigstein will be conf
pletely freed Of foreign occupation by
Sept. %.
Troops Vanish Quietly
Under q tacit agreement between
British authorities and the Germans
the evacuation will be most prosaic
affair, the troops simply vanishing
quietly. without great ado or military
display, and the German civilians as
well as military refraining from 1ub-
ilation.
Perhaps the staunchest supports Of
Anelo-G German rappr0chcment will
nroye to be the marriages estimated
It about a hundred here, contracted
between British officers or privatcs
and German frauleinS.
Officers in charge Of the troops say
that these marriages have made It q
bigger problem to move the families
than the soldiers, and that the trans
portation Of baby carriages IS q more
difficult affair than that Of military
equipment.
For Koenigstein evacuation means
much more than appears on the sur.
face.
FOREIGN Flags Disappear
Outwardly It means the disappear
ance Of foreign flags and the display
Of the German colors alone, It also
means that, In addition to barracks.
some 65 houses can be restored to
their owners, thus considerably re-
lieving q housing shortage.
This first contingent will be fol-
lowed daily by other contingents un-
I'll December Is when the last OF the
5000 British Tommies will be With
drawn and the British flag hauled
down. s.
