u. S. EXPENDITURES
WILL BE REDUCED
BY OYER TWO-THIRDS
The Expenses for the Fiscal Year Begin
ming Next July Are Estimated at
$7,443,415,s3s, McAdoo
Reports.

Washington, D. c., Dec, 3.--Cessation
of war will result in a reduction of gov
eminent expenses for the fiscal year 1920,
starting next July !, to $7,443,4l5,s3s
from S24,599, 900 appropriated for the
current year, according to tentative esti-
mates submitted to Congress yesterday
by Secretary McAdoo, transmitting the
reports of the various departments.
The principal reduction was for the
military establishment, which estimates
its needs at 1892, 100000 in 1920, as
compared with $l2,274 100000 appropri
ated for this year. Before the signing Of
the armistice with Germany it had been
/ figured that the army alone would need
more than $l9,000,000,00O for 1920,
The nayy's estimates for 1920 are 49,.
500, 100000 as compared with ST ,59l ,000,-
600 appropriated for the current year, an
increase Of billion dollars, despite the
closing Of the war There is nothing To
show what it was estimated the navy
would have needed had the war contin-
ued.
These estimates may be pared down
considerably later when the actual needs
of the government in closing out war
contracts become clearer.
Including S574,237 900 estimated for
Notifications, the total contemplated out.
lay on the army amounts to 81, 497 ,000,-
900.
| A striking figure in the army estimates
is the Sl44,943,000 for air service pro.
duction. The appropriations last year
under this head were ST60,000,000. 1t il
evident that in reducing war estimates
the war department is proposing not 10
lose all that has been gained in aircraft
development during the war, but plans
to continue construction and manufac-
ture on fairly large scale.
| The largest single reduction from the
appropriations for this year for the army
is in pay, travel and general expendi-
lures, the new estimate for next year
being 1927 $4,000, as against 81, 1861 ,000,-
600 appropriated for this year. Similar
ly large reduction Is made in quarter
masters estimates for supplies, clothing
| quarters, including cantonments and
similar expenditures, the new figure be-
ing S0ll $4,000, as compared to $5,45l,.
000,000 appropriated for this year.
/ Virtually all estimates for various
navy purposes show substantial increases
over appropriations for the current year
The pay item goes up TO $579, 046,00C
from 1927 $4,000; expenditures on ships
already authorized goes to s233,9s5,0 DOC
from $59,3e7 900 this year, and an addi-
tional S200,000,000 is asked as the first

PRESIDENT WILSON'S TEMPORARY
VALEDICTORY.

In his address to Congress on the eve
of his departure for Paris to engage in
the peace conference, President Wilson
was the most plain spoken that he has
been in any of his recent utterances Of a
public nature. The address was not so
much like a studied oratorical effort as
it was like a plain msnto-man CONVEX
sation on matters which are of pre-emi-
nent concern to the whole American peo-
pie. And yet its very contents must
have been eloquence itself. That the en-
tire assembage, Republicans and Demo
Gratis, who heard the address, did not ac-
cord it cordial reception at the close
must have been due to the continuation
of state of mind which had been built
up long time before and which was
brought into the chamber of the national
House on the occasion of the Joint as.
sembly that marked the opening of the
last session of the 65th Congress. 1t is
probable that the Republicans and Demo.
Gratis alike would have applauded en-
Enthusiastically all that President Wilson
said up to the point where he began to
explain why he was going abroad to en-
gage in the peace conference, which ex.
PLANTATION, unfortunately for the psychic
logical effect on the entire audience, came
at the very conclusion of the address.
The silence on the part Of one side Of
the chamber when the presidents words
had ceased must have been protest
against his going to Europe at this time
rather than a protest against the senti,
ments expressed through the whole bull,

ton over his proposed departure from
the United States and dissatisfaction
over his determination to participate in
the peace debates were probably reflected
in the strange silence which enveloped
the Republican wing and part Of the
Democratic side of the assemblage And,
it must be admitted, there are two sides
to the question of the desirability of the
presidents choice, albeit the executive in
his talk stroye to make it plain that his
proposed participation was wholly i'm
personal and that it was simply his de-
sire to give his fourteen points" clear
Interpretation to the conference, mas
much as both friend and foe had accepted
those points in their general aspects, that
he was going TO the conference. Perhaps
Americans viii always differ on the wis
dom of President Wilson's action in go
ing to the conference. Nevertheless, even
that consideration should not cause us to
overlook the major points of his address
to Congress in which he outlined, briefly,
some of the proposals for reconstruction
of the country following the year and a
half on war basis.
In some of those problems of recon
struction, President Wilson was far from
dictatorial and opinionated; indeed, as in
the railroad matter, he was frank to adj
NIT that he was at loss how to solve
the matter to the best advantage Of the
railroads and of the country as a whole
and he appealed to Congress for help, In
his treatment of other matters he indi-
Gated that hi was anxious to arrive at
the best results, whether by his own pre-
conceived notions or not it made no par.
ticular difference to him. But to get the
best results was his desire, Surely there
was nothing in the address, except for
his explanation why he was going to Eu-
rope, which would cause the noses Of any
political party to be twisted out of shape,
