resolution Of both Congress houses
They would require that when Con
gress had appropriated moneys the
auditing officer of the same Congress
should make sure that these moneys
had been properly expended within
the authorization and intent of the
appropriating power. This is right
because the Administration which
spends should not be the auditor OF
its own spending.
The bills would require that Bud.
get Bureau should be established in
the Treasury Department to provide
an administrative organization fol

mates They would require that the
Executive power. through the Secre.
tary OF the Treasury. reduce, change
or otherwise revise any Of the est.
mates Of departments except the es.
Inmates for the technical branches OF
the War and Navy Departments,
But with this Executive coordina'
ton Of estimates achieved the legis
lative control Of appropriations would
remain unlmpaired.
1t Is Interesting to note also tha!
another measure Of efficiency Is am
braced In this programme. Ono bill
would divest the Treasury Of its non
germane functions, such as the Coast
Guard, the ONCE of the Supervising
Architect and the Public Health Ser
vice. In the vast and complicated
financial business Of this Government
ono might now say Of international
Governments-the Secretary Of the
Treasury has too heavy fiscal burdens
upon his back, has too many mex.
orable fiscal demands upon his atten.
ton, to justify any Of his efforts going
to such matters as the Coast Guard
the Public Health Service, &c, which
never had any proper place In the
Treasury Department, which always
could have been better handled some
where else, and which, budget system
or no budget system, ought not to be
left in the Treasury Department a
minute longer than 1t would take to
enact the needed legislation.

eminent changes In Germany, which
the authorities at Weimar have
warned the world to read with eau
ton, II is possible to make one deduc-
ton with safety. This is that the
united German opposition" to the
treaty Of peace is a myth. There may
be responsible men in Germany who
favor rejection of the conditions pro-
posed in the hope that better terms
might be obtained after a renewal Of
military activity by the Allies, though
this is open to question; there GER
tainly are powerful influences at work
In Germany in favor Of accepting the
treaty. The political turmoil Of which
we now have glimpses does not sup
port the often repeated prediction Of
unanimous refusal to sign.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
the reported fall Of the Scheidemann
Ministry and the resignation Of Pre-
mier ORLANDO Of Italy occurred at
practically the same time. Neither
victors nor vanquished have found the
making Of peace easy.

More Money for Air Service.

The Houses picayune appropria-
tion Of $4,000. 900 each for the army
and navy aviation services has been
increased by the Senate Naval Affairs
Committee to $4,000, 900 for the navy,
while the subcommittee Of the Mill
tary Committee will recommend $75,-
100000 for the army.
This isn't so bad. but 1t Isn't good
enough. We can't afford to be at the
tail end Of aircraft preparedness; we
can't afford to be In the middle. The
only place for this country, with all
its coast lines to be forewarned, with
all Its sea approaches to be patrolled,
with all It's riches to be safeguarded,
Is at the top of the list.
Nobody Is more earnest for national
economy than We are. Nobody has
urged more strongly the cutting Of all
needless expenditures to the bone.

payers money more than we do; we
hate 1t like poison. But aviation has
