The foreign policy, for instance, is
purely administrative in its method of
application. No legislation Is required
to give effect to the new governments

ton of a disarmament treaty and the
convocation of general disarmament
conference. Nor is legislation neces-

Similarly in the domestic sphere,
much can be done by the adninistra-
tive method with regards to housing,
education, trade and industry, the re-
conditioning Of railways and overseas
trade credits.
The administrative machinery itself
will be improved, effect being given az
the earliest possible moment TO Mr.

Of the departments concerned with in
dustrial and economic affairs being CO.
ordinated by a committee over which
the premier himself will preside. This
committee will consist Of a nucleus
made up Of the chancellor Of the ex-
