aes ‘ + Sundry Civil Estimate, Alone, Exceeds All Cost of Gov- ernment in 1916, ‘STILL ON WAR BASIS. No Tax Relief in Sight and Expenditures Kept at Dazzling Height. By Martin Green. ' (Special = Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15.— “The action of the Congressional com- mittee in cutting off $997,000,000 thus far from estimated expenditares of the Government next year and the opening of a prospect that the trim- ming of estimates will ultimately amount to $1,260,000,000 or more, in- spired some searching into the rec- erds of our astonishing nation by students, occasional students, of pub- lic affairs in the capial to-day. The reader will agree with one of these stadents, who said that if we make a couple of more spurts in our career, such as that which we have made in the past four years, we will run our- selves off the map. Before Congress adjourns it will have passed upon proposals te expend for the cost of Govern- ment, exclusive of the interest on the public debt, in the year end- ing June 30, 1921, approximately $5,000,000,000 and will have au- thorized expenditures amounting to between $3,500,000,000 and $4,- 000,900,000. We experienced a shock of mingled apprehension and pride a few years ago when we became a billion dollar n tion. Now we are a five bill dollar nation and going strong. COST OF GOVERNMENT IN 1916 ONLY $716,367,674, A few thousands of the people oc- casionally think about the pace the United States has set in spending money in recent years. Comparisons will establish amazing facts. We have to go back only four years for our basis of comparison, It wil be well to bear th» figures direotly fol- towing in mind for association with figures of & similar purport to appear later on. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, about nine months before we entered the war, the ordinary gov-| ernment expenses of the United States totalled $716,367,674. We spent on the army that year $172,973,000, on the navy $141,835,000 and on pensions $164,387,000. The Sundry Civil Bill for n Next year, based on qstimates of de-, partment|and bureau heads, amounts to $906,725,387. This one item in the Government tentative budget for 1921, t6 $190,000,000 in excess of ail the ordinary expenses of Govern- ment in the fiscal year that was drawing to @ close just four short years_ ago. The total disbursements of the United States for cost of Gov- ernment from the time the Gov- Canal and the interest on the public debt. Our Government cost us $26,000,000,000 in the 127 years ending June 30, 1916, (Continued on Fourteenth Page.)

Tells Cabinet Care Must Be Taken.in All the Judicial Processes By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Evening’ World.) WASHINGTON, April 15—(Copy-| right, 1920.)—President Wilson has | asked both the Department of Jus- | tice and the Department of Labor to! inquire closely into the relationship between so-called “radicals” and! “communists” and the industrial dis- | turbances which have been aren | out of late throughout the country. The President gave the impressiof | |to his Cabinet that while the Gov- ernment should proceed relentlessly | against disturbers of industrial | | Peace and deport Aliens found guilty | | thereof, he wanted the Judicial pro- cess to be painstakingly fair. | Mr. Wilson's first Cabinet meeting | dn nearly eight months was extraor- ‘dinarily interesting. The President su behind a mahoguny desk in the| upper apartments of the White| ‘House. It is a room used by him as} @ study, There was‘a tablet on the wall which reveals that President ‘Lincoln held. his Civil War sessions ‘with the Cabinet in the same room. Mr. Wilson sat with his back to the light, which streamed in from the south portico, Members of the Cabi- |met shook hands with him as he sat wit his desk. To each, he had a pleas- ant word of ting. Chairs were drought from adjoining rooms, and as the room is rather spacious, the Cabinet members moved up close to tthe desk in semi-circular array. No- tbody smoked. MEETING OPENS WITH STATE- MENT BY WILSON, The President opened the meeting with a brief statement of the ap- parently critical situation in which the country had been plunged by the strike ‘of*railway employees and said he wanted the benefit of the counsel and advice of the Cabinet, Attorney General Palmer, who had brought a portfolio of papers to the meeting, immediately responded with an analysis of the underlying cur- rents of mischief making which had been injected into industrial troubles by I. W. W.s, “Radicals,” “Commun- ists” and other malcontents. He said that wherever a strike existed or was threatened these disturbing elements promptly availed themselves of the opportunity to stir up more trouble, He told of the policy which his de- partment had pursued in investigat- ing aliens and bringing the cases to the attention of the Department of Labor for deportation, A rather pointed colloquy occurred on the subject of the law involved in deportations, and President Wilson asked many questions. When the At- torney General had concluded the President turned to Secretary Will- jam B, Wilson and asked for the viewpoint of the Department of Labor, whioh is charged entirely with ‘the enforcement of the deportation laws, There had been during the ses- sion a plain intimation that the De- partment of Justice was not of the same opinion as the Department of Labor in handling deportation cases, DIFFERENCE OF OPINION BE- TWEEN THE DEPARTMENTS, This fundamental difference has long been known and involves really an attitude of mind. The Depart- ment of Justice views the radicals as persons of whom short shift should be made. It contends that the pro- cedure with reference to deportation is purely adminisrative and not criminal and that all the Department of Labor needs to do is to be satis- fied by the Department of Justice's investigation that a man comes with- in the meaning of the deportation laws and he should be deported. On the other hand, the Department of Labor insists that while the pro- cedure -may be administrative, it is as serious as a criminal matter, for It and drives him out of the country Such an action should not be taken, in the view of the Department of Labor, without being absolutely sure Therefore, this depart- ‘uem trges that every defendant be | | b ALIEN FOMENTERS. @e) 0 opportunity to be represent, —™ BO Wo erect 'smocx STYLE |e by counsel and witnesses who can refute the testimony of the Govern- tment agents who make the complaint The debate in the Cabinet, more- over, developed another vital. point Thousands of so-called “Communis' were originally members of the So- cialist Party and never conscientious- ly participated in any campaign to preach the overthrow of the Govern- ment by violence. However, many | Socialist organizations and unions of foreign-born workers have been transferred’ to membership in the} Communist Party. Oftentimes the action occurred at} a convention where the simple pas- sage of a resolution by oral vote con- stituted the transfer of membership. Does that make an individual, who had previously belonged to the Social- lat Party, a member” of the Com- muniat y? The law reads “Membership” in the Commpnist Party.” It isn't even necessary to prove that individual himself believes in violence. The law is drastic and rigid and the Department of Labor officials claim, that only 2 per cent. of all the indi¥iduals arrested for de- portation expressed a personal belief in violence. On the other hand, the department is deporting men’ and women in accordance with the law and qhen it is satisfied that an indi vidual is a bona fide member of the Communist Party, DIFFICULTY IN PROVING GUILT OF INDIVIDUALS. The hitch comes ‘in establishing! the fact of “membership” which is contractual relationship. Many in dividuals had knowledge of its revo- lutionary manifesto but did not con- strue its meaning to be inimical to the country’s interest, This defense has not been accepted by the Depart- ment of Labor, But an individual, it is insisted, must be given a chance to show that he did not sanction the en- rolment of his name in a Communist Party or that he was unaware of the kind of doctrines being preached by the party with which he was con- sciously or unconsciously enrolled. It is a question really of fact and the Cabinet closed its discussion of the subject when Secretary Wilson expressed the belief that he and As- sistant Secretary Louis Post, of the Department of Labor, and: 'At- torney ‘General Palmer could unques- tionably come to a harmonious agree- ment when they sat down to thresh the matter out. ‘Mr. Post. has ‘been handling the question during the unavoidable absence of Secretary Wilson, The entire session of the Cabinet didn't last more than an hour and 4 half, The President took « lively part in the debate and one of the older members of the Cabinet told the writer that with the exception of a drawn look on his face and his white hair, the President seemed as vigor- ous ‘as he ever had been. On the whole Mr, Wilson was quite himself, He took occasion ,to inter- ject a bit of humor now and then. Several times the President's r marks drew a hearty laugh. members of the Cabinet, for insta mentioned the speech of a certain Senator. ne “Oh, he has a habit of speaking without the facts,” interrupted the President, “a very convenient ar rrangement by the way.” ust which Senator was mentioned the writer was not informed, but from viewpoint it might the White ‘Hou: apply to"any of a considerable num ber. The President goodby to the Cabinet as they. filed by his desk and shook hands, He said he had been refreshed by the meeting and didn't feo! —in fact liked the contact very muc He suid nothing about future meet- ings but doubtless they will be held more often thereafter. The Cabinet members who have known Mr. Wilson for many years were wuthonity for the positive statement that the President, while physically worn out, is never- theless on the job and while he may look like & convalescent, he doesn’t act like one, —— Taxt Speeder Held for “Killing.
