PRESIDENT A P SKS CHIEFS TO SLASH U. S. EXPENSES fiudggt Must Be Kept Within Federal _ Income, He *Warns Executives—Gen. Lord Asks Honest Estimates. President Harding, as business head of the largest workshop in the world, appealed to the administrative officers of the federal government at the third semi-annual business corf ference, held yesterday in the New National Museum, for the heartiest 7o-operation durjng the present fis- cal year in keeping expenditures within the federal income. He in- Yited them to bring to him recom- mendations of any activities or ex- penditures that could properly be curtailed or eliminated. He warned them that the budget now being pre- ared for the next fiscal year will be eld by him strictly within the esti- mated revenues. Brig. Gen. Herbert M. Lord, the new budget officer, taking his cue from the v “Hell Maria” Dawes, his predecessor in office, stampeded the conference last year with a burst «f economy oratory. waving aloft two Navy brooms, used a skeleton, £hoestrings, a drunken man and a biting dog to illustrate his economy Viea Budget Economy Real BWoth the President and the budget officer quoted the fiscal statistics, showing income and costs of govern- ment. as proof that the economy pro- &ram of the present administration and the operation of the scientific budget system are overcoming the extravagant or slipshod expenditures of the past and placing the big gov- ernment workshop on a strictly cash asi s ‘There is not a wenace in America today equal to the mounting state and sunicipal debts, President Harding de- clared at the close of the meeting in asking the co-operation of federal ex- ecutives in practicing economy as an example tof the nation. Debts of the iates and municipalities, the President declared, were mounting to such heights that there was no way of knowing the obligations of the American people. Referring to the operations of the ‘budget bureau during the fiscal year Just ended, during which withdrawals from the Treasufy were reduced by 759,000.000 from the earlier estimated total of $4,554,000,000 as “a record of Teal achievement,” the President de- . that “the prospective net deficit of $425,000,000 for the current fiscal year 1s a challenge to us all.” Receipts for the current year, he stated. were es timated at $3,074,000,000. while expendi-. tures were placed at $3.771,000,000, an apparent excess of expenditure amount- $637.000,000, but offset to the 272,000,000 by the general balance in the Treasury on June 30. Actual Surplus Produced. Experience of the past year. President continued, has demon- strated that there need be no undue mcern over prospective deficits, re- calling that. while a deficit of .000,000 was forecasted last vear, urplus of $313,000,000 was realized. his was accomplished. he asserted, despite the fall in government re. ceipts for the year of $1.315.000,000, the equivalent of the reduction in the amount collected from the people. yet. because it pruned its expendi- ures by $1.743,000,000, it produced an actual surplus. “This,” he sai s certainly gratifying accomplishment,” but ided that expenses must be kept within_income this year, and called . upon the government's executives for stilll closer scrutiny of their activi- and expenditures. . isdiction,” the Presi- dent said. “you find activities and expenditures that can properly be curtailed_or eliminated, you to do it; if the laws do not jeave it within your power to do this submit it to the President for recom- mendation of congressional action. The business head of the government does not and cannot cantemplate or expect expenditures this year will exceed income. If they do it will be regarded as most unfortunate. and therefore 1 bespeak your fullest co- operation. Warns of Deficiency Estimate: Warning against _ deficiency es- timates was sounded by the Pres dent, who declared that officials would be held strictly to account for the observance of the policy against such demands upon Congress, Which in the - past fiscal year in deficiency and sup- plemental ~ estimates submitted amounted to $661,000,000, although many were unavoidable, he declared, because of war-time conditions. For the fiscal year 1924, the Presi- dent announced. Teceipts are estimat. ed at $3.198.000,000, or approximately $600,000,000 less than authorized ex: penditures for the current fiscal vear. “We must all keep constantly in mind,’ he said, “that the probable receipts Jor 1924 will not permit as liberal ap- propriations as for 1923. In that con- nection, I may say frankly to you 1hat T will not send to Congress es- timates excceding the probable re ceipts of the government, and I musi warn you that unless you use You pruning knives the executive will b compelled to cut deeply the estimate: presented. . “Qur country is one of the few fin the world which is now paying its way as it goes, and 1 must regurd with disfavor any tendency to inter- the | 1 admonish | fere with this condjtion or to increase taxes.” President Lauds Dawes. President Harding paid a glowing tribute to Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes of Chicago, the first director of the budget “I.know,” he said, “how deeply you all regret the going of that charming, fascinating -personality who led in.the institution of the budget system.” He pledged to Brig. Gen. Lord, the new director, the same “whole-hearted support” he 'had given Gen. Dawes. e told the meeting that no less than a score of citizens of forelgn countries had Informed him they wer: watching this country's efforts to- ward systematized economy with a view to its duplication in their gwn nations. Lord Asks Honest Estimates. Gen. Lord, the new budget officer, after submitting his annual report, as an example of slipshod methods, said that a shipment of hospital supplies| was made which contained one ‘human keleton, as well as laundry bags. in- strument tables and other articles, but because of failure to classify properly the shipment the rate of the skeleton, which was three times first-class rate, was applied to the entire lot, which was shipped at a minimum of 20,000 pounds. Describing the workings of the bud- get bureau, he declared that while formerly an expenditure for a pair | of shoestrings out of the' wrong lfl’l propriation could not have been made without the error being detected, un- wise disbursements of millions out of authorized appropriations could have gone undisturbed before the inaugu- ration of the budget system. \Asking for honest estimates, Gen. Lord described his own experience. “The first estimate I submitted to Congress,” he said, “was an honest minimum es ate without one penny of padding. I was new at_the busi- iness and went before the House ap- propriating committee as innocently and guilelessly ag a dove. I shudder now when I recall what they did to that carefully drawn, unpadded est mate. - “I can fllustrate if, perhaps, by the experience of the man who was ac- customed to arrive home late from his club in a highly inebriated condi- tion. The first night he went home sober his dog bit him. And that was what Congress did to me. “In submitting honest estimates you may get bitten, but it is worth It if the executive bureaus succeed by such a policy in rehabilitating themselves in_ the estimatfon of congressional committees.” FOR BENEFIT OF MOTHERS iI.aw Proposed to Avoid Sending Children to Placement Homes. | Enactment of a law for the Dis- trict extending relief to mothers whose sole wish is to raise their chil- dren at home under their own eyes, {instead of having them separated by platement homes, is approved by women of the District high in social and welfare work as a solution of | many vexing problems the city gov- | ernment must meet and also as a means of raising the future citizen- | ship of Washington to a higher plane, { Some of the city’s social workers who have given public expressions of opinion on the passage of such legis- lation are: Mrs. Edna K.

LONDON, July 12.—A rumor that an Irish republic has been proclaimed at Cork is printed by several of today's newspapers under ‘Belfast date lines. It is not confirmed from. any other source. The isolation of southwestern Ire- land is practically complete, and both the republicans and Freo Staters are imposing censorship, so that their of- ficial statements comprise almost the only_information reaching here. - An Exchange Telegraph Belfast dis- patch says that twelve young women working in farmhousss have been conscripted by irregular troops in raids from Glenveigh Castle, giving a Londonderry as authority. trict are said to haye fled. An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Dublin says that mational forces have occupied the town of Wexfor: which had been strongly held by # regulars. Upon learning of the ap- proach of the Free States men the ir- regulars evacuated the town. BOMBS OPEN HOLIDAY. Belfast Celebrates Boyne Anniver- sary by Ceasing Work. By the Assoclated Pres: * BELFAST, July 12.—Rain threaten- ed to mar the spectacular features of Belfast's celebration of the Boyne an- niversary today. The entire ¢ity was taking a holiday—in fact, work virtu- ally ceased throughout the six-county area. Three bombs were thrown in Bel- fast soon after the curfew was raised today, but only a few windows were smashed. 19 SOLDIERS KILLED. Official Figures on Recent Fighting in Dublin—111 Wounded. By the Associated Pres: DUBLIN, July 12—The full list of military casualties in the recent fight- ing in Dublin, issued by the national army headquarters, shows that nine- teen soldiers were killed and 111 wounded. It is estimated that sixty- five civilians were killed and 281 wounded. Nowhere do the irregulars appear to be disposed to make a serious stand against the national troops, and lat- est news of the guerrilla warfare in the country districts indicates contin- ed success for the Free Staters. Num« bers of prisoners who have fallen into Free State hands increase dail Train service has been re-establish- ed between Dublin, Wexford and Waterford. TO CONTROL COAL COST. Non-Union Mine Operators Seek to Prevent Raise in Price. Representatives of non-union coal operators are expected to meet with Secretary Hoover tomorrow or Fri- day to disciiss means of checking the advance in prices by smaller ope ators, it was said today at the Com- merce Department. The National Coal Associatiol which met today, through its direc- torate in Pittsburgh, was invited by Secretary Hoover to send representa- tives to Washington to discuss the coal price situation with him. RESCUE WORK PRIZES. $1,000 for Trophies to Life-Saving Miners Authorized. An expenditure of $1,000 has been authorized by Congress for the pur- chase and bestowel of trophies to be conferred by the bureau of mines of the Interior Department upon miners who have performed noteworthy feats in rescue work in time of mine dents and disasters. The bureau receives many reports of stirring, redblooded deeds of hero- ism by miners and this is the first government recognition of the sort for the life-saving work of the miner. According to present plans the medals or other trophies will be presented to winners at the international mine rescue and first aid contests #hich are participated in annually by miners from the United States, Can- ada and Mexico. P NO U. S. ENVOY TO CUBA. President Opposes Appointment Until Island Affairs Settled. President Harding is understood to believe that appointment of a minis- ter to Cuba is inadvisable at this time on account of unsettled condi- tions in the island. and it was r ported at the White House'today that no selection of an envoy would be made for some time. Senator Calder, republican, New York, conferred with the President today concerning the post and is said to have suggested the appointment of Nelson O'Shaughnessy, former charge d’affaires at Mexico City, as minister to the Cuban republic. CONFIRMS LONG SENTENCE. The President confirmed th: sentence of dismissal and eight year: imprisonment imposed by general court-martial, convened at Governors Island, N. Y. in the case' of First Lieut. Harold L. Turner, United States infantry, convicted of charges of violating the 94th .article of war while serving as post quartermaster at Fort Ontarlo, N. Y., in 1920. Abe Martin Says: GERMAN COALITION MAY BE CONTINUED Responsible for Aversion to New Elections. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, July 12.—The reichstag leaders no- longer reckon with the forced dissolution of parliament in consequence of an interparty agre r.nont. which definitely indicates & continuance of the present coalition. The Wirth cabinet also is assured of the active support of the independent soclalists for the government's measur pmlcul-rlr the law for the defense of the republic, which is. ex- pected to be adopted on its- third reading tomorrow. ‘Foreign pressure on the reichatag is said to be one of the factors con- tributing to the growing aversion io new elections among all parties, the impression prevailing that entente influence has been brought to bear on the cabinet heads in the direction of urging them to use their efforts to prevent internal turmoil, which would inevitably result from a n: tional campaign under present condi- tions. Official quarters declined to dis- cuss the July payment of repara- tions. SOVIET PLEA TO LABOR. Weight Applied to Radical Left Side in German Deadlock. BY A. R. DECKER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1922. BERLIN, Germany, July 12—The soviets are applying weight to the radical left side in the German politi- cal deadlock. The Rote Fahne (red flag) devoted its entire front page to an appeal to German workers. This appeal is signed by the ‘“executive committee of the communist interna- tionale” and is dated Moscow, July 8. Moscow declares itself solidly with the German worke: “German social democracy,” read the appeal, “has reaped as it has sow- ed, when {n November, 1918, it turned its power over to the bourgeoisie who with the help of officers are making Germany a gold bag republic. The socialists have disgraced their prin- ciples by a coalition with the bour- geoisie. Do not permit the social dem- ocrates now as before to go from words to machine guns against your advance guards. Down with reaction! Down with the bourgeols coalition government! Long live the fight for the workers' government! In the socialist paper, Vorwaerts and one or two other socialist organ: is_another appeal signed by the com mittee of the “international syndicate” declaring that the syndicate is ready to support “an action and plan to conserve the fruits of the revolution |and if suportea by the international [s)‘ndlcne the German proletariat will conquer. - ONDON SEES DEBT NEEOTATIONSNEAR Mission to Leave Soon for U. S. Refunding Conference, Says Daily Mail.’ By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 12.—The question of funding the British war debt to the United States, reported to be under consideration by the British govern- ment, is given prominence by the newspapers. Overtures for the funding of the debt were made by the United States some time ago, aoccording to the Times, acoompanied by an invitation to a conference in Washington. » The Dally Mail aseerts that im- portant communications are passing between the two governments, adding that a British mission will leave soon for the United States to discuss the question and while there will also talk over the possibility of an inter- national economic conference in ‘Washington. The Morning Post says: “Unques- tionably this matter plays an impor- tant part of the whole problem of international indebtedness and it is America is looking lead to recognition of these external obligations. N ‘The writer in the Post ridicules the report that repayment of the. debt to the United States in a lump sum in the near future is contemplated, adding: “We must remember that from the question of beginning the liquidation of our lasge debt to the United States in the autumn we have smaller obligations to meet during the present year. It is understood that there s a liability of something like £3,000,000 due to Japan, while there is a large line of three-year British notes in America, which will mature November 1, amounting to about $50,000,000.

S: Can Usefully Belfast Report Unconfirmed |Foreign Pressure Believed | Cn-_operate_” Words More Generally Under- stood, View of American Observers Abroad. By the Associated Press, , LONDON, July 12.—The best inform- ed American opinion in London in- clines to the view fhat the state of af- fairs in Europe is generally trending tb betterment, notwithstanding the situation ' in Germany and the economic -chaos in Russis. This is based on muitiplying signs that Euro. pean statesmen are realizing that Secretary Hughes meant what he said when he declined their igvitation to g0 to Genoz and_ plamly 'told them that they must' “clean house. before America can usefully, co-opérate. Slow acceptance of this fact is seen by American official-observers here in recent utterances by the French pre- mier, M. Poincare who is believed to be cautiously feeling his way to the more concillatory attitude respect- ing Germany.and Russia ‘teken some time ago by Premler Lloyd George. M. Poincare was given a powerful lever with which he may be able to budge the French public from their “search. Germany’s pockets” attitude when the franc began following the mark on its downward path. See Change In Polley. M. Poincare's recent stagtements are interpreted here as being carefully de- signed to keep the “make Germany pay” slogan waving in order to dis- arm his political opponents, but at the same time calculated to point out the dangers of too intransigeant a policy, as indicated by the depreci- ation of the franc. It is bejieved that the report of the French expert commission which is soori to return to Paris from its in vestigations in Germany will rein. force the premier's arguments in favor of moderation, as this change of front is believed to show a French zation of the fact that little prog- be made without getting the United States once more actively at the nation’s conference table, and that the first condition made by Secretary Hughes, namely, Anglo-French solid arity, may soon be reality. - Addi. tion impetus in this direction is be- |lieved to have been given the French WANTS BETTER SERVICE.

Dissatisfied with what was termed the “inefficient service” of the Washington Railway and Electric Company, the Con- gress Helghts Citizens’ Assoclation, In meeting Monday night, went on record as demanding improvement. Complaints that the trip to Congress Helghts is made unnecessarily long by improper routing, and that cars are run infrequently, caused the citizens to di- rect a communication to the company asking that the terminal for this section be_designated as Sth and G streets.

Differently designed' detached brick and by Italian eohl'lon to the British policy. What may occur in Germany mean- while is the darker side of the pic- ture. In American quarters here it 15 believed that the slump of the mark ,was engineered by German backers of a policy which resulted in the aesassination of Foreign Minister |Rathenauy but which was unable to check the depreciation of the German eurrency once the toboggan was well .greased. It is feared that the danger ‘of monarchistic or other civil perils in Germany may continue or may ‘even break forth in serious disorders, but it s thought that ultimately these dangers will. serve to drive French Aand British policies nearer together, ito get the only help that may avert a calamity—American “finance. Until JFrench and British policies are co- ordinated. according to the American official view, there is not"a chance i for resumption of the loan negotla- éh";’ which broke down recently in aris. Supreme Comnmcil May Meet. | That the Anglo-French views are {becoming more consolidated may de- {velop in a meeting of the allled su- ‘nrema council, which Downing street during the last few days has been hinting at as likely to be called soon. .Euch a meetipg probably will be ummoned in any event if The Hague negotiations fall down, as it will be necessary then to make some mnew attempt to solve the Russian puzsle. It is pointed out that the summon- {ing of the supreme council may be deemed helpful it it serves to bring an American to the conference board, even in the capacity of an observer. Should any interpational gathering be called soon to sound the Ameri- can attitude respecting Russia, it is likely to be disappointing to the creators of such a meeting. Former Gov. Goodrich of Indiana, who is now returning to Americ: after extensive investigations in Rus: sia, will doubtless report to President Harding that there is no dnger of a counter revolution in Russia,that the heads of the soviet government are beginning to accept the advice of more practical men like Krassin and are prepared to make further con- cessions to capitalistic pressure. The extremists are still powerful and any alterations in the communistic pro- gram must come slowly, Mr. Good- ly will declare. Middleton, Inc. Realsors 1334 H Street N.W.
