REPUBLICANS CHARGE
GOVERNMENT WASTE

The republican national committee is

Here is story recently current
at the capital which sheds interesting
light upon the universal query as to
where the governments money has
gone during the last few years:
"A manufacturer of airplane parts
was asked to submit a bid for 1000
airplane accessories which were need
ed by the War Department. These
articles ordinarily cost about SIS each.
and the manufacturer thought bid of
SIT each for the number required by
the government would be about right,
in view of the fact that they were
difficult to get in large quantities.
so he instructed his stenograpHer
to submit bid at that figure. But
the stenographer, being of wartime
quality. made an error. and instead Of
quoting a price of SIT each, made the
figure s117 each.
"And the bid was accepted"

ROME, June 20 (Correspondencesof
man influence has been exercising it
self in Italy in an endeavor to win
back its pre-war trade. which annual
ly amounted to nearly $2BO. 600. 900
exports and imports.
Interviews have recently been pub
liShed in Italian papers which en-
deavor to establish the idea in the
Italian mind that had Germany been
consulted in the matter of Italian
claims at the peace conference Italy
would have secured all that had been
asked. This has been interpreted by
subtle bid for Italian patronage antic-
ipating the resuscitation of friendly
commercial relations between Italy
and Germany.
Won Buelow's Alliance Used.
Chief among the interviews appear
ing in Italy were those Of Prince Won
Buelow and Count Won Bernstorff. The
former was married to an Italian and
maintains in Italy one of the most
celebrated villas. Italians contend that
it was his object to solicit Italian
favor when he said: Plume is an
Italian town and must go to Italy.
All it's inhabitants are Italian except a
small minority. Everything in Fiume
is Italian. In fact. most Hungarians
living in Fiume are more favorable to
Italian than to Jugoslav rule"
Count Won Bernstorff seeks in his in
terview intended for the Italian peo-
pie to forgive Italy for allying herself
with Germany's enemies. He admits
that had the ancient German despotic
rule won, Italy would have never been
forgiven. but that the new Germany is
ready to forget the lst and start over
again.
