as the national financial body in re-
gard to appropriations and said lack
Of any plan in Congress in making APP
preparations has led to extravaganza,
inetficiency and waste
The people of the United States"
said Senator Kenyon, have a right to
demand that their money be appro-
priated, expended and accounted for
in some systematic, Intelligent bust
ness way and that a public dollar
should do as much as a private dol
lar"
Senator Kenyon reviewed the stua-
ton with regard to appropriations for
the current fiscal year and predicted
there was a reasonable possibility that
before all loose ends had been tied
and the business of the year wound
up it would be shown that the gross
expenditures of the nation had been

The Senator quoted Chairman
Sherley of the House Appropriations
Committee as having placed the total
appropriations made by the second
session of the Sixty-fifth Congress at

added the following tabulation:
