PHILADELPHIA. Pa. March H.
The Coleman dupont League. with
headauarters in tie Bulletin Building,
an organization working to secure the
nomination OF General T. Coleman du-
Pont. Of Delaware. for the presidency
has issued the following statement:
"A peculiar phase Of the present
national political situation is that the

more being brought TO the realization
that the biggest business In the world

that would wreck the business Of any
or individual.
Under the present system. men
experience or knowledge Of
the technical or business phases OF
their work. head departments OF gov
that equal or exceed the
largest of the countsy's Industrial,
or financial institutions.
The consequent lack Of efficiency
means n small return in actual value
for the millions OF dollars raised by
taxation
This deplorable absence Of eff
cheney is the reason for the high cost
OF government. the tremendous eX-
Densc OF a far-too-small army and a
fleet that ranks below that of several
other powers.
1T is this lack OF efficiency that is
responsible for the delay in accom-
plishing things that. handled by a
manufacturing concern or a banking
house. would be done in a fraction
OF the time and at a decided reduc-
tion of cost.
This situation has continued
through succeeding administrations,
and is due TO the fact that there has
never been a business mind at the
head OF the government
"With efficient business manage
ment the normal revenue from tariff
and taxation would be sufficient to
provide an army and a navy OF proper
