In those few words Secretary Hous- ton reflected the sentiment of official ‘Washington that the war is not over, that, although the army has been demobilized and it has been sixteen months and one day since the Amer- fean expeditionary forces fired their final shots at the German lines, we should continue spending money as though the hostilities were still prev- alent somewhere, The Secretary of the Treasury agrees with the Secre- tary of War and the Secretary of the Navy that war basis military and na- val expenditures are necessary in Coming from the official of the Government having the most to say about expenditures, the doctrine of department and bureau heads that the war is still on could not have been more clearly nor forcibly ex- pressed to Congress. Fortunately, there are members of Congress who iknow the war is over and there aro many far-sighted financiers and men, and even politician ‘who are not connected with the na- tional Government, with vision enough to see that the country is at ‘peace. LOWDEN’S .WARNING OF HIGH | COST OF GOVERNMENT. The declaration of Gov. Lowden of penols. one of the leading candidates for the Republican nomination for the Presidency, that the high cost of Mes cannot be reduced until the high cost of government is reduced and the place to begin the reduction is here in Washington and tho time is right now has created quite a rip- among Republican members of Gov. Lowden knows the war is over and that the high cost of government at this time is due largely to lack of knowledge of the fact on the part of ‘now the war is over too, WAR BASIS COSTS NATION $63 al SECOND. |run The practice of banding all |eun, mm of importance in commit- tees leaves the ordinary Congressman bereft of definite knowledge about the | business of the country. As a matter | of fact, it is quite too much to ask of the ordinary Congressman to keep himself fully informed on all the af- fairs of the vernment when #0 much of his time is taken up with the affairs of his small vonatituency. Few of them are accustomed to looking upon their job as a national job. What Congress apparently does not see—even in the light of the declaration of the Secretary of the Treasury that “at present we are faced with @ mill- tary and paval expenditure war has taught us is necessary”—is that the great war plant upon which the War | Department is expending $1,000,000,000 this year and the Navy Department is spending $650,000,000 this year is buzzing and roaring and weaving just as though the country were at war Congress has not as yet been brought to the realization that the war plant of ‘the War and Navy Departments, running on a war basis, is eating up $5,480,000 a day, $228,833 an hour, $3,806 a minute, $63 a second, right now. So as the reader's eyes traverse this paragraph the war plant of the Wer and Navy Departments has consumed more than $3,000 of the taxpayers’ money, The Evening World's plan—which, by this time, has pretty generally been brought to the attention of the members of Congress—provides for the stoppage of expenditures on a war basis immediately, By that meank $500.000,000 could be saved be- fore the fiscal year ends on June 30 in the war plant now being conducted by the War Department, to say noth- Ing of what could be saved by aban- doning the war plant at other points.
