cations bill, carrying $S.210,6El in.
stead of s3S,iI3,99i asked for by tho
war department, was reported today 70
the house committee on appropriations
| by the subcommittee.
The subcommittee felt, aside from
other considerations, that tc recon-.
mend the appropriation of thirty-eight
millions for Notifications at this time
would be an action which might be
very reasonably construed by Japan as
an official declaration that the United
States was preparing aginst war
with that nation.
The amount recommended by the
committee is larger than any which
has been annually appropriated since
the Spanish-American war. Cutting
down of the department estimates by
$50, ,233,S34 means among other things,
that the committee has recommended
practically nothing for the continental
United States and has appropriated
mainly for the Hawaiian and Philip.
pine Islands.
The committee has turned down en-
tirely the departments proposal for
he fortifcation OF Manila harbor by
construction and fortification of an ar.
tiflcial island, and nothing Is carried
for Subig Bay but provision is made
for the fortficaticn of Carabao Island
