war department estimate Of $4,000,

war was declared
We didn't get the money until
June : 3, said CroZier
This was a lump sum estimate
which We asked authority 20 spend

OF time was lost
Frankly now. general. there IS

Wen, how can 50 be eliminated -
For one thing congress could
have. taken our word for this lump
appropriation and gotten detailed
explanation Afterwards, replied
Croker
Senators Hitchcock and Chamber
lain forced him 10 admit that when
estimates are made, lney must be
approved by the var college. then
by the general star. and last by the
secretary of war before congress
sees them.
This process. Crozier insisted. IS
unavoidable
