to the employees and officials of the

AN AK MUST BE
USED OCUT WAR
EXPENDITURES
House Committee Plans to
Force Retrenchments by
Recalling Appropriations

Washington, Nov. 26.-Use the ak
not the pruning knife.
That is the almost unanimous an
swer of Congress to the. lack of a
policy on the part of the administra-
tion for cutting down quickly and ef-
fectively the swollen war eXpendi-
lures.
Thoroughly dissatisfied with the
course followed thus far, the first
move was made to-day in Congress
to take the matter of quick and thor
ough retrenchment out of the hands
of the executive departments and put
it into the hands of Congress. ~
When told to-day of the demand
from Congress and elsewhere for the
wholesale use of the AK on eXpendi-
lures, Secretary of War Baker said
to the correspondent: 81 can only say
this-the AK is falling very generally
now. 1t may not be hitting every
head, but it is hitting a great many"
Those members of the House APP
preparations committee who are here
will be called together this week to
begin an immediate survey of appro-
priations with the idea of repeating
as much of them as possible and e.
storing these sums to the Treasury.
Chairman Sherley of this commit
tee conferred with the President and
it is understood the Presidents ap-
rrnNva1 nf 10 r1np uiNnn The
recovery of the appropriations al
ready made will be done as part of
another deficiency bill 1t was ad-
mitted last night that the deficiency
part of the bill would consist merely
of minor matters.
No Definite Policy Discoverable
Inquiry at the departments most
concerned in war expenditures, and
at the boards and commissions that
have had much to do with spending
failed to reveal any definite policy in
cutting off war work. The nearest
approach TO any sort of policy eX-
pressed was that it was the plan to
cut off contracts and other eXpendi-
lures as fast as possible
To the suggestion that it would be
greater saving through conserving
at least the materials now going into
war work if the work were stopped
completely and the pay of the work
men continued, the answer made was
that the plan was not practicable.
Congressional leaders of both
parties and in both branches who arc
concerned with granting the appro-
priations are insistent in their de-
mands that war expenditures, so far
as munitions is concerned, be chop
ped off short. Not all legislators
agreed that there was sufficient need
of labor in ordinary peace time in
dustries at this time to absorb quick
ly the entire labor supply, but not
one questioned the fact that very
large percentage of this labor could
be taken up quickly by non-war in
dustries.
