(Continued From First Page.) show $563,601,223 had been saved by reductions in supply bills for 1933 as compared with 1932. He said the House had cut Mr. Hoover's request for Gov- ernment funds by $161.455,101. Byrns told the House that, including the $42,000,000 economy bill, more than $600,000,000 had been saved. This, he said, was in addition to the savings ef- fected by the Senate in its 10 per cent slashing campaign. Meanwhile in the Senate, Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, | challenged a statement in_President | Hoover’s message that the Executive's recommendations for expenditures have been $369,000,000 below those of last year. It was clear, however, the Democrats in Congress, and particularly those in {the Senate, must decide whether they would go forward with the budget-bal- ancing program, as demanded by the President, or would undertake to stall |it off. | Some of the Democrats frankly ad- { mitted that, in their opinion, the coun- try was in no mood for further delay | They said they believed the Democratic | party would lose if its members in the | Senate and the Houre, for any reason | \whatever, undertook to bring about a | legislative jam. Hope to Adjourn in June. The practical problem which con- fronts Congressional leaders is to get through with the tax and economy legislation and the appropriation bills before the Republican National Con- vention opens June 14 in Chicago. If such a program can be concluded an adjournment of Congress will be pos- sible. Otherwise a recess of Congress from June 10 until early in July would become necessary. Such a recess would permit members of Congress to attend the Republican and Democratic Na- tional Conventions, the latter being set for June 27. : With only five weeks remaining. the task of completing the necessary legi. lation is admittedly difficult. Senator Fess of Ohio, chairman of the Repub- lican National Committee, said he hoped and believed adjournment would be possible. If a recess becomes neces- sary, Congress may be in session most of the Summer. Democrats as well as Republicans said today they were anxious to complete legislation and adjourn Congress, and | would do all in their power to bring about a completion of the necessary legislative program. A comparatively small group of Pro- gressives in the Senate is not only in- different to the demand for an adjourn- ment of Congress in June, but appar- ently prefers to have Congress remain in session this Summer. So far the Democrats flatly decline to follow the lead of the Progressives in this matter. The Senate Finance Committee is rewriting the tax bill today and with that measure ready to be reported to the Senate early next week, Chairman Jones of the Appropriations Committee will cali together the subcommittee to consider the omnibus governmental economy measure which possed the House as a part of the legislative ap- propriation bill.

Wants Further Economies. Emphasizing that the most expedi- tious action 1s necessary if the desired end is to be accomplished, the President advocated prompt enactment of a tax bill “adequate to produce the necessary revenue and so designed as to distribute the burdens equitably and not to im- pede economic recovery.” He coupled with this a second recommendation for “a drastic program of economy which, including the savings already made in the executive budget of $369,000.000, can be increased to exceed $700,000,000 per annum.” In urging further economies beyond the savings made in the original budget, however, the President made a plea for the humane treatment of Government employes " “With the reduction proposed in the original budget, together with the fur- ther reductions here proposed, it will be necessary to discharge 50,000 to 100,000 employes unless we divide the remaining work of the Government among the whole of its employes, just as has been done in industry. I know of nothing more inhuman in the present situation than for the Government to add to the pool of unemployment and destitution when it is entirely unnecessary.” “First Campaign Speech.’ To Hoover's arraignment of the House, the Democratic ficor leader, Representative Rainey of Illinois, re- | sponded with the charge that this was the President’s “first speech in his | campaign for re-election.” Senator Robinson took the floor to say the plight have developed if the administration had not made unaccountable errors in presenting its estimates of the revenue needed, and that not general advice, but specific suggestions were required. Others joined in. They met with ready and hot repflies. Representatives Snell, Republican lead- er, sald campaign material or not the Democrats would “have to answer” for the present situation. Senator Reed, Republican, of Pennsylvania, told Robinson the definite suggestions had been presented cften enough, but that congressional courage was lacking. In the ensuing debate Reed ob:erved that “if this country ever needed a Mussolini, it needs it now,” immedi- drawing upon his head a spirited castigation from Senator Johnson, Re- | publican, of California.

Hoover Blames Action The text of President Hoover's mes- | sage delivered to Congress yesterday afternoon follows: “I should not be discharging my constitutional responsibility to_ give to the Congress information on the state of the Union and to recommend for its consideration such measures as may be necessary and expedient, if I did not report to the Congress the situa. tion which has arisen in the countr: | in large degree as the result of inc | dents of legisiation during the past six weeks. | “The most essential factor to eco- nomic recovery today is the restora- tion of confidence. In spite of the unquestioned beneficial effect of the remedial measures already taken and | the gradual improvement in fundamen- | | tal conditions, fear and alarm prevail in the country because of events in Washington which have greatly dis- turbed the public mind. “The manner in which the House of Representatives rejected both the rev enue program proposed by the Treasur and the program unanimously reported | by the Committee on Ways and Means: | the character of the "tax measures| passed; the action of the House which | | would 'increase governmental expendi- ture by $132,000,000 for road building: the action further to enlarge expendi- tures in non-service, connected bene- fits from the Veterans' Bureau at the very time when the House was refusing to remedy zbuse in these same services the virtual destruction of both the na- tional economy program proposéd by the executive officials and the program of the Special House Committee on Economy; the failure of the House to give adequate authority for early re- | duction of Government bureaus and commissions: the passage of legislation by the House placing burden of im- possible execution upon the Federal | Reserve System over the protest of the Pederal Reserve Board: the threat of further legislation looking to un- | controlled inflation—have all resulted | in diminishing public confidence and | | offsetting the constructive, unified ef- | | forts of the Executive and the Con- | gress undertaken earlier in the yeal | for the recovery of employment ‘and | agriculture. ‘ Revenue Decrease. | “I need not recount that the reve- nues of the Government as estimated for the next fiscal year show a de- rcrease of about $1,700,000,000 below the fiscal year 1929 and inexorably re- | quire a broader basis of taxation and @ drastic reduction of expenditures in order to balance the budget. Nothing |is more necessary at this time than balancing the budget. Nothing will | put more heart into the country than prompt and courageous and united action in enacting the legislation | which this situation imperatively de- | mands ‘and an equally determined stand in defeating unwise and unneces- sary_legislation. “Most expeditious action is necessary if the revenues, appropriations, economy legislation and a balanced budget are | to be attained before the beginning of | the new fiscal year on July 1, next. | “The details and requirements of the situation are now well known to the Congress and plainly require: | “I. The prompt enactment of a revenue bill adequate to produce the necessary revenue and so designed as to distribute the burdens equitably and | not_to impede economic recovery. | %2 A drastic program of economy‘ | which, ingluding the savings already | made In the executive budget of $360.- | 000,000, can be increased to exceed | $700,000,000 per annum. Considering that the: whole Federal expenditure, except about $1,700.000,000, is for un- | | controllable obligations this would rep- | resent as unprecedented r..uction. Such |a program, to accomplish its purpose, | must embrace the rejection of all meas- | ures that increase expenditures unless they be for undoubted emergency; the | reduction in appropriations now pending below the figures submitted in the ex- ecutive budget on December 9, last; a | | reconsideration of the legisiation cover- |ing those economy projects which re- | quire repeal or amendment to the laws, and an effective grant of authority to | the Executive to reorganize and con- solidate and eliminate unnecessary Gov- ernment bureaus and establishments. “In the category of appropriations within_the authority of the Appropria- tions Committees those committees have given some months to devoted con-| | sideration _of the executive budget, vhich, as I have said, in itself carried a reduction of $369,000,000 below the expenditures of the current year. Con- | | sidering the situation in the country |and a study of the results so far at- |tained by the committees, together with a review by the executive officials. T am convinced that, subject to the inclusion of conditions mentioned later, a reduc- | tion of at least $230,000,000 below the executive budget can be made in the | supply bills (of which some $70,000,000 or $80,000,000 may be the subject of deficiency bills at the next session). In order to effect these economies, to pre- serve the efficiency of the Government and to assure the humane treatment of Government employ authority must be given to meet emergencies which may arise from such close | budgeting by the transfer of not to | exceed 15 per cent of any appropriation |to any other appropriation within the | same department, provided no appropri- |ation is increased more than 15 per cent but subject to the approval of+the di- | rector of the budget, and to suspend | the leave with pay so that the five-day | week and its equivalent to salaried em- ployes can be installed where necessary. “With the reduction proposed in the | original budget, together with the fur- ther reductions here proposed, it will be necessary to discharge 50,000 to 100.000 employes unless we divide the remain- ing work of the Government among | the whole of its employes just as has | 2400 16th St. [| Usfurnished house - keeping apartment of living room (ISx 25), dining voom, library, foyer, three bedrooms, two baths, kitchen and balcony, from $240 || wp.

I know of noth- ing more inhuman in the present sit- uation than for the Government to add to the pool of unemployment and desti- tution when it«is entirely unnecessary and can be provided aganst by the same measures which were undertaken | by industry at the request of the Gov- ernment itself nearly three years ago. “In the category of further economies | which can only be made by changes in Ia: which would give authority to the Executiv and the Appropriations Com- mittees, many items were proposzd by ecutive officers of the Government, d some portion of them were em bodied in the bill presented by the| Special Economy Committee to the House of Representatives. Less than $30,000,000 direct and definite savings were covered in the bill which finally passed the House. Many of the in- determinate and indirect savings in that legislation cannot be realized until late in_the year or after that “Many of the recommendations which were rejected by the House of Repre-| sentatives should again be considered.| Aside from the economy proposals | affecting employes which are here in- cluded in the above discussion of the supply there are opportunities to increase the direct savings provided for in the House economy bill from $30,- 000,000 to from $130,000,000 to $150,- 000,000, plus many indeterminate items which would result in further economies. “These savings would be over and above the amounts of savings referred to in the direct appropriations. With- out ~oing into the merits or demerits of the proposals, they do represent the correction of abuses and the curtail- ment of unnecessary functions of the Government and embrace items that can be dispensed with during the pres ent critical period. ‘ Authority Restricted. “In the category of economies that | can be made by consolidation, reorgani- zation, and elimination of the less| necessary bureaus, commissions, etc., the authority given in the measure passed by the House of Representatives is so restricted that it cannot effective until late in the n year. In order to expedite this econom I earnestly recommend that the Execu- tive be authorized to proceed immedi ately in the consolidation of public works, and personnel, partly provided in the House economy bill, public health, merchant marine, conservation, | education, munitions ~manufacture, Army and Navy hospitals, aviation fields and other specific Army and Navy activities which may advantage- ously be consolidated for the purpose of economy and more effective administra- tion. The savings to be made are in determinate but very considerable. If made by Executive action within the above direction from the Congress they can be made promptly. “The imperative need of the Nation today is a definite and conclusive pro- gram for balancing the budget. Un- certainty is disastrous. It must be in every sense a national program. Sec- tional, partisan, group or class con- siderations can have no place in it.
