The national committee on calendar | simplification, in a formal report of 120 printed pages, submitted to Secretary of State Stimson today finds that & large and representative body-of Amer- ican opinion favors the adoption of & new calendar and the participation of the United States in an international conference to provide for the' best method of simplification. ‘The committee's conclusions are based on a year of investigation, and are re- ported to Secretary Stimson for his use in replying to an inquiry on the sub- ject made by the League of Nations of this Government in 1927, The League has in view the calling of an interna- WoobpWARD & LoTHROP tional conference on calendar reform as | soon as enough nations have expressed their interest in participating. Eastman Gives Stimson Report. George Eastman of Rochester, N. Y., chairman of the committee, handed the report to Mr. Stimson today, accom- panied by Dr. Charles F, Marvin, chief of the Weather Bureau, vice chairman. With. it was an official letter of trans- mittal from Secretary Hyde of the De- partment of Agriculture, which, at the suggestion of the State Department, last year assisted Mr. Eastman in enlist- ing as unofficial members on the com- mittee representatives of Government departments interested in calendar sim- plification. Mr. Hyde commended the report and expressed his aproval of calendar sim- plification. He said he believed the United States was justified in forward- ing the report to the League of Nations 43 & reoly to its inquiry. Similar letters of indorsement were sent to the State Department by other interested Government departments, ‘The national committee consists of rep- resentatives of these departments, un- officially co-operating, and of men and ‘women prominent in national life.
