But Director Dawes simply consented to devote his time and attention for the period of a year, That he has done, and done in 8o excellent a manner that he has clearly established the fact that the president picked the right man for the job. Putting the budget system into opera- tion was no easy task. The man who oould see what was needed and etick to it regandless of the influences brought to bear from various directions was the one needed. It was new work for him, but he buckled down to it from the begin- ning in a manner that Indicated he ‘would make 3 success of the bureau of such a thing were possible, and he has amply proved that it was. Tt was a case where needless expend!- tores were to be eliminated. It was a time for the removal of waste.

Thus thers iy sufficient reason why his relinquishment of the duties should be regretted. From the example which ‘he bas set, however, there are reasons to believe that his muccessor will fully profit.

Since BSecretary Hughes inet are heartily in favor of it. and why shouldn’t they be? hands, the object is clearly to give 2 much desired improvement to leglslative action. misleading statements are put forth for political effect. Possibly that wouldn't be ended, but whether such was dong or not it wouldn't be necessary for the sen- ate to accept a lot of misguiding mfor- mation, or for a head of a department to write a letter to some sepator, in order to have facts which are in the posses- slon of government officlals placed be- fors the lawmaking body. Facts ere what congress should be guided by, and it is reasonable to expect that Qepart- ment heads are in a much better position to furnish rellable information to cen- gress than some others, who may be striving for political effect instead of serving the best interests of the ooun- try. The idea of giving the cabinet mem- bers a chance to be heard and questioned s not 2 new ome. It has been urged| in different forms for a considerable time. Legislation upon this métter Is even now being sought. Incremsed at- tention has been directed to the ne of it by the frequent misrepresemtation of government intentlons within the past year. It discloses possibilities of closer cooperation between congress and the de- partment heads which would be benefi- clal. The president sees it, the cabinet members ses it and it remains to be seen whether congress can be impressed with Its merits. e e CHANGES IN JAPAN.
