The reich still has some bargaining power, since the Rhineland commis- slon, apparently under combined Brit- ish and Italian pressure, has recent- ly permitted the new rent mark in the Rhineland, though the French stubbornly exclude it from the Ruhr. Further, the Ruhr industralists are Tegally liable for seventy million gold marks, a Ruhr credit advanced by the reich for passive resistance, and guaranteed by stocks of coal and iron, part of which the French have seized.

He s considered to be an unusually strong Secretary of the Treasury. Notwithstanding, we do not find ourselves in full agree- ment with hi¢ recommendations.

Effort to break up the existing i supercommittee on appropriations and i to restore appropriating power to the major committees of the House, which previous to the adoption of the federal budget system exerclsed this power, is belng made today by the circula«< tion of petitions by Representative Wallace Dempsey of ~New York, chalrman of the rivers and harbors committee, The first signer of the petition was Representative William R. Greene of Tow: prospective chairman of the w and means committee. The petition calls for the establish- ment of a budget committee which will have the power to prescribe the amount that may be appropriated by these other major committees. That budget committee would be composed of representatives from the major committees, such as agriculture. rivers and harbors, war, public bulldings and grounds, ete. The proposal 18 that the budget committee would have as members the chairmen and two majority mem- bers from these major committees. It has been emphasized by those supporting this effort that no attempt is being made to destroy or weaken the budget stem. They claim, rather. that t fect the budget system. Since the federal budket went into #ffect there has been considerable criticism. especially from members of the major committces. which had been shorn of their appropriating power, that the new master commit- tee on_uppropr a number of subcommitte on which only the chalrman had particular ex- perience and famillarity with the particular line of work for which ap- propriations were made. Such as agriculture, rivers and harbors, pub- lic_buildings and grounds, navy, etc. They have urged that il the ap- propriating power has been centered in this one committee and that only a ursory examination could be given hy this one committee to the recom- mendations m by subcommitt which did not have background familiarity with the subjects for which appropriations were being made. Objection was also made that too much power was centered in this one committee, mittees which handied legisiation us. ing the various funds appropriated ought to have some say in determin- ing what should be done. Those circulating the petitions claim that their proposal would per- fect the budget system by bringing to the consideration of the various items veteran members with long ex- perience in each particular line.
