The economy policy has done more than reduce the cost of govern- ment, the president said, for Fe in itjan example to the world in ad- ministrative effort. Speaking at the semi-annual bud- get meeting of department and bu- reau heads, the chief executive re- viewed accomplishments of the per- iod since the first meeting of the ‘business organization” of the gov- ernment in June, 1921, and declared that the things done in perfect efficency had been “tremendous results and of overwhelming sign ficance in implications.” He suggest- ed, however, that the part playee by this government in its own house- hold and in world affairs would not be complete unless it was “rein- forced” by adhesion to the World Court. To Wield Economy Rod The president’s exposition of what he ‘believed should be the gencral policy in governmental affairs wa: supplemented at some Jength by Di rector Lord of the Budget, Bureau, who described an economy’ rod plans to wield in dealing with future federgl expenditures. General Lord announces tering” of a One Per Cent club with- in-tire government, 4 igen of pers . a ta reduce oxpenditures by one per py of the total authorized. Last Per Cent club had fallen ohjective by only three million dollars, he explained, in set- tidg the figure of $38,000,000 as the umount towe saved The president's idea of construc- tive economy was to climinate as many non-essential: possible while Dolstering the agencies whose fun tion developed better order of na- tional} life. Question of Efficiency “Merely to reduce the expenses of the government,” he anid, “might not in itself be heneficial, Such action might be only the discontinuance of a wholly necessary activity. No civ- jlized community would close _ its schools, abolish its courts, disband its police force, or discontinue fire department. Such action could not be counted a9 gain, but as irre- parable loss, The underlying spirit ‘of economy is to secure better educa- tion, wider administration of justice, more public order, and greater 5 curity vey bales & superior ofgan! decrease the unit of cost.
