letters, representing various business
interests. commend the courage of
the Montgomery County manufactur-

Keep up the fight; We are back of
you"
While the majority of the letters
deal strictly with a recital of the bus
mess depression generally, and the
hope of relief through President Will
son being made acquainted with the
actual conditions. others have a dis
couraging tone and call atteption to
the fact that on various occasions
Secretary Redfield, of the Depart
ment of Commerce, has expressed his
hostility to Tariff. The writer's of
these letters see little chance of a
square deal at the hands of man
hostile to Protection politics.
One of the letters from a South

hem works are making seven 12-inch
guns for the Allies but in addition
to what is turned out here he has
sublet orders in dozen different
cities. Morgan is now the general
purchasing agent Of the British gov
eminent and all orders go thru his
firm.
Every section of the country where
. manufacturing is a large feature of
business is benefiting from war or
ders altho these orders in many
cases are not large enough TO Offset
the depression in domestic trade.
Many orders are from govrnments
which never before bought in the
American market and American bus
mess men believe they can hold this
trade after the war is over. They
argue that much of the work now
being done here for Great Britain,
to take an instance. has previously
been done in Germany. and that the
bitter feeling after the war will pre-
clude its being done their again.
A Philadelphia faefory is making
swords for the British army Such
a contract had never before been re-
ceived in this country. In the past
British swords have been made in
Germany.
In the Pittsburg district. which in
cludes Bethlehem. many Germans
who formerly worked for the Krupps
are employed. They are now making
war material for the Allies. altho, of
course, they do not know this def
nitely. The men in the factory are
not informed for whom a particular
six-inch shrapnel shell is being made.
Some odd items are reported. The
French government has paid New
England manufacturers s260.000 for
snowshoes. One concern in Philadel-
phia is turning out a folding saw
with wooden handles for cutting
wire entanglements. When the war
started the armies used steel pliers
for this work, with the result that
many men were shocked to death by
high voltage electricity.
All sorts OF factories have been
pressed into commission to make
things useful in war. A company in
Bridgeport. Conn, which usually
makes cemetery monuments of
bronze, is now turning out forgings
for an auto truck concern which has
large order from the allied coun-
tries. Bridgeport, by the way is en-
joying huge prosperity because most
of it's industrial concerns are work
ing on war orders.
All thru Massachusetts and Con-
necticut war orders are helping to
overcome the depression of the first
few months OF the war. The Rore
River Shipbuilding Company is very
busy. II is generally reported it is
making ten submarines for the
British lazy, these to be delivered
at the end OF the war. In addition
it is making about twenty-five other
submarines.
Demand for many particular ar
ticles has been so great that the al
lied governments have signed con-
tracts at prices most attractive for
the manufacturers. In addition, it
is pretty we'll established that mid
dlemen. brokers and agents are
gathering in millions in commissions,
some of which are exhorbitant.

reckless expenditure of the public
money has always been a cancer that
in the end destroyed republics" and
that the way to escape was TO cen
tralize the control of the appropria-
tions." Chairman Fitzgerald of the
Appropriation Committee declared.
"One thing that is essential to &C
complish in this body is to deprive
the individual member OF Congress
OF the right to initiate expenditures"
He went on TO commend the English
budget rule, by which il is out of
order to propose any appropriation
not requested by the government.
In calling attention 70 the disas-
trous consequences OF the right now
possessed by individual Congressman
in initiate expenditures, Mr.. Fitzger-
aid undoubtedly pointed to the es-
sential defect of the existing system
OF appropriation and to its one pos
sible remedy. To leave the initiation
OF appropriations to individuals is to
expose the public treasury to sys-
tematic raids undertaken by combi-
nations of individuals. What is
needed is a centralized budget con-
troll, but even tao responsible Con-
gressional leaders such as Messrs.
Underwood and Fitzgerald have
come to favor centralized budget
and limitation upon the initiative
OF individual Congressman. Congress
will never, except perhaps at the time
of some terrible crisis. willingly con-
sent to the reform of its own method
of appropriation. At one time an at
tempt was made to organize some
kind of budget control by appropria-
ton committees. One conference
was enough to develop such conflicts
of policy and purpose that il broke
up without accomplishing anything.
The attempt was never repeated.
Congress is full of ardent reformers.
but they prefer to reform other peo-
pie. Any reformation of Congress
itself will have to be imposed from
without by sufficiently powerful
body OF national public opinion, and
the most effective instrument of ma
tional public opinion is the Presi-
iency. Some day a President will be
