by that difference.
The next item of the so-caIled
savings in the political statement Of
the gentleman from Wyoming (Mr.
Mondel) is 1925, 600, 900 in the ma
val bill This is absolutely untrue.
and there is not a republican on the
naval affairs committee that Will
approve that statement, because ev-
cry single. solitary one Of them
knows that it is not true.
The gentleman from Wyoming
has been imposed upon. There is
no doubt about it. The report o.
the gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Butler), the able and distin-
guished chairman Of the naval af-
fairs committee, shows that there
was only a reduction in the amount
Of appropriation of 100000
not 1925, 100000. But what matters

when political advantage is sought

attribute that reduction to republi-
can economy in this house l will
tell you what Mr.. Butler in his hon
est and candid report shows. He
shows that these reductions were
caused by conditions, plans, or
events occurring subsequent to the
adjournment of congress"
What is the change in the events
and conditions. mentioned by Mr..
Butler in his report? 1t was esti-
mated last session by the commit
tee and the house that the average
of the enlisted men in the navy for
the year would be 225.OOO, and an
appropriation TO take care OF them
was made, but on account of the
changed conditions the democratic
administration efficiency in bring
ing the men in the army back from
France and demobilizing them fast
er than was anticipated so that a
large number of the navy person
mel could be dispensed with. at this
session they were enabled TO rea-
sonably estimate an average naval
personnel of 1890 men and to
provide for that number instead of
the 225,00O men estimated at the
last session. And yet, with the facts
of the record, the gentleman from
Wyoming issues this propaganda
throughout the length and breadth
OF the country that the republican
house saves $225. 900 900! His own
committee will not sustain such
statement.
Some More savings
Mr.. MOndell says. further, that the
republicans of the house have saved
