4 L] GEN. LORD DEFENDS FEDERAL WORKERS Declares They Stand With Best; Tells of Magnitude of Tasks. The impression “that government per- £onnel are incompetent and Incapable” was branded today by Director Lord of the bureau of the budget as ‘“not rranted.” Such an impression should never be ziven, he sald, in any discussion of needed improvements In the federal service, adding that it should*be borne 1+ mind “that the federal government is carrying on projects that surpass in agnitude, importance and dimiculty of accomplishment anything carried on b any o any time. one . anywhere, Many Methods Suggested. H Speaking before the husiness or- | ganization of the government at Me- mortal Continental Hall, Gen.

It was a new kind of meeting. There had never been one of such wide scope before, nor one discuss in detail the text that was chosen as ity key: The theme of that meeting was cconomy and effi- clency in conducting government affairs. It was the first time in the history of this nation that the Chief Executive personally out- lined and presented to a gath ing of the officials of the busi- ness organizution of the govern- ment an executive plan sor the unitied conduct of governmental business and retrenchment in gov- ernmental expendiiure with effictency.

When Con- s, rep ating the people, has appropriated the funds with which to carry on the Lusi ov- ernment we mus our oper- ations within the of these funds. We have neither the au- hority ror the right to incur ob- ligations beyond such limits. On the other hai duty is to make every effort to effect some savings from these funds. This public trust which 1 hold and which you hold ix a sa- cred trust. 1:s fulfillment as such should and must be our only ideration and duty. The budget reflects a financial program which is impersonal, impartial and non- nolitical. This same poliry should Zovern you in your expenditure rogham. T realize that pressure ay he brought to bear to make rovision for this or that project from vour avaflable funds. It is sometimes difficult under these conditions to give the matter im- partial consideration. But I urge upon ail of you to view your re- auirements in the sole light of their necessity from a standpoint of the s of the whole gov- crnment. f take this occasion to state that have given much thought to the question of federal subsidies to state governments. The federal appropriations for such subsidies cover a_wide ficld. They afford ample precedent for unlimited ex- nsion. 1 to you, however, that the financial program of the Chief Executive does not contem- plate expansion of these subsidies, My policy in this matter is not predicated alone on the drain which these subsidies make on the national Treasury. This of itself i sufficlent cause for concern. But L am fearful that this broad- «ning’ of the fleld of government activities is detrimental bLoth to the federal government und the state governments. Efficiency of federal operations is impaired as their scope is unduly enlarged, fliclency of the state governments is impaired as they relinquish and turn over to the federal govern- ment responsibilities which are rightfully theirs.

The executive branch of the government and the legis- lative branch have stood side by side In this Intensive campaign for economy. It has requircd courage, patience and scrifice. We can now truly speak of a business organization of the gov- ernment, for it is a business or- ganization conducted on a busi- ness basls. This joint executiv leglslative mpaign has nade it possible to present taxation. Ieon- has no other .nurpose. The budget for the coming fiseal year, transmitted to €ongrexs De- cember 5 last, carries estimates of appropriations for all purpe approximately $332,000,000 than the actual appropriations for the current fiscal year.

We have inherited from our beloved leader, President Harding a taek to which he devoted hin self unceasingly and urtiring He had before him the vision o co-ordinated business organizatios of the government functioning eff ently und economically. He worke without ceasing to Lring this vision to reality. His inspiration will always be with us. It will he 4 privilege to be of aid in carrying to completion the task he began. We can best his memory by pledging ourselves to further and greater offort to bring more complete eMciency and m cconomy {nto the busines he Zovernment. Now T turn this meeting over to the budget director. He does not occupy a place of ease and insig- nificance, but a place of difficulty and of honor. He (s the eyes and vars of the Executive and the managing director of the fiscal policy of the business organiza- tion of the government. If you think he cannot see the detafls of cach department as you see them, You must remember that you car not see the requirements of the whole government as he ee them. He occuples a position re- quiring the greatest amount of candor, tact and good judgment. It is well to remember that his real object is not to hinder, but to help you and to help me, and, most of all, to help the country His efforts have been successful. You and I, and especially the na- tion at large, are under great ob- ligation to him for his sclf-sacri- ficing service. J present to you Gen. Lord. - REVERSAL IN TWO CASES FROM LOWER TRIBUNALS U. §.
