MIR. BORGLUM's "sTOLEN BILLION.n

The fact that President Wilson has commissioned Judge Hughes
to go to the bottom Of the ai1plane charges it enough to remove
them, for the present, from the field if discussion. The appoint
ment is ample warrant for the assurance that the truth will be re-
vealed, spa1ing nobody, that if there is guilt it will. be placed
where it belongs, and that if innocent men have been wronged by.
hasty accusations their names will be cleared.
But the sculptor Borgum in his wild charges has left an i'm
preston, more or less vague but still too definite, that a billion dol
lars was appropriated for airplane production; that it has vanish
ed; that there have been no results; and that, therefore, somebody
porbably stole most Of it. If the charges of the sculptor Borglum
have left any impression at all, that is the impression they have
left. %
So. before we leave the case to the mercies Of the Hughes inves-
tgahon, it may be worth while to analyze that idea.
ance sheet as of April 30 that appears on the first page of the Con-
gresslonal Record for May 10. Before examining it let us refresh
our minds by recalling that the sculptor Borglum virtually has
charged that a billion dollars has been s%quandered or stolen with
out results.
Now this balance sheet shows that the appropriations for the en-
tire signal corps, of which the airpane production is but one Sec
ton, have been $749,886,O52.68 which is a 'bilion' only for pur-
poses of loose argument.
But that is only the appropriation. Under the heading "cash
disbursements" we find that of this total appropriated only $780,
517,81636 has been spent: Our billion is shrinking.

chase or lease of lands, and the construction Of schools, flying
fields, etc, both at home and abroad,.#@s
The items to which an airplane scandals apply, if they apply
anywhere, fan under Title 1, Equipment Division, 'including air
planes, engines and their spare parts, transport, general equip
ment, special clothing, ordinance and ammunition; :" and the TOTAL
expenditure under this head, which it will be observed includes
If q billion dollars has been lost, s%quandered or footed, it must
have been lost, squandered or looted out of this item, which
amounts to one-seventh of a billion.
In Judging the temper, spirit and purpose of critics who charge
that a billion dollars has been wasted without results" it should
