For Coast Junket

would expend appropriations. may be
recalled without offense, if the de-
partment finds that the invitation itself
is going to cost real money. In other
words. there is no hard feeling among
members of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs because of Secretary
Daniels action in withdrawing an in
vitation to visit the naval stations on
the Pacific coast.
Il am learning slowly" said the Sec
retary today. but I'm learning. /

coast, but I didn't know, that. under
the law, the expenses of the trip,
amounting to between $4,000 and $12. 600.

Departments contingent fund. When

wise to spend that much money at
