Taft's Plan for Pact
Is Attacked by Borah

WASHINGTON, D. g, July 90
Senator William E. Borah, Republican n
Of Idaho. in a speech in the senate to-
day regarding former President Taft's
suggestion for adoption Of senate in
terpretations of the peace treaty. said
the former president had taken the
amazing" position of infering that
opposition to the treaty was largely
the result of President Wilson's par
tisan course last fall and during the
peace negotiations.
The real debate in the senate on a
league of nations, Mr.. Borah said, had
begun two and half years ago, and
he and other senators had taken the
same positions they now take.
Il am opposed to any interpreta.
tions. reservations or amendments in
this treaty" Senator Borah said, "and
I hope the opportunity will be pre-.
sented for me to vote against it as a
whole"

ExTRAvACANCE
IS MENACE TO
U. S.--STRAUS
Waste in Public Expenditures
to Become Grave Problem,
He Declares.

NEW YORK, July 26-Oscar Straus,
former ambassador to Turkey and Sec
retary Of Labor under former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt. declared to-
day that unless the United States
takes steps to eliminate waste and
extravaganza in governmental admin
istration the huge debt accumulated
during the war will become a grave
problem to the nation.
He said the downfall Of the French
government during the Napoleonic per-
iod resulted from extravaganza and
waste In national expeditures. AL
though the American government Is
not threatened with disaster he said
It has financial burdens which are
causing concern to the statesmen of
the country.
Mr.. Straus believes that a perman-
ent organization of banking and bust
ness experts should act in an advisory
capacity to the 10 major departments
of the government and assist them In
preparing their annual statements OF
money requirements.
He said that the different govern.
ments undertake this task without
adequate coordination of effort, and
that in spite Of new problems Of ma
tional finance the departmental esti
mates are the same today that they
were decade ago.
