FOREXCE:E:D|NC
RECRUIT QUOTA
Congress Will Take Care
of Disabled Heroes,
States Chairman.
Behind Measure Is Ur-
gent Desire to Lift Tax
Burden, He Ayers.

Washington, Dec. 80. - In
opening house debate on the
sundry civil appropriation bill,
Chairman Good, of the appropri-
ations committee, Thursday,
served notice that if he could
prevent it mot single penny
would be appropriated for the
shipping board. He added that
his committee felt "that it had
to get behind the shipping board
and compel it to sell it's plant
and equipment"
House leaders took up the big appro-
priation bill with the avowed purpose of
dlsposing of it as soon as possible to
make way for other important supply
measures. The bill contains more than
1000 items and calls for an aggregate
appropriation Of $3S3, ,611 1893. General
debate on the measure will be concluded
Friday, and it's consideration, item by
item, will begin next week.
Attacks War Office.
The chairman also attacked the war
department for spending more money
than congress had appropriated in re-
cruitlng the army. He said he was in
favor Of limiting the army to 10000
men and "make them learn to work"
The committee chairman, however, in
urging economy, said that the salaries
of many government officials and en-
ployes were too low.
Commenting on the care and training
of disabled war veterans Mr.. Good said
that both the war risk insurance bureau
and federal board of vocational educa-
ton would have unexpected balances at
the end of the current fiscal year and
that with these amounts available, TO-
gether with appropriations carried in the
bill, the war risk insurance bureau
would have approximately S1600O0,000
and the board for vocational education
S75,0O0,0O0, luring the coming fiscal
year-the amounts, he said. they had
estimated they would need
Assures Wounded
Congress will take care of the dis
abled soldiers" Mr.. Good declared
He pleaded for passage of the bill as
presented by the committee, declaring
it was necessary to pass on it without
regard to personal considerations.
Behind the whole measure, he said,
was an urgent desire to reduce the ex-
pense of the government and lift part
of the heavy tax burden.

Palestine Boundaries,
Mesopotamia, Persia,

Has Divided Cabinet,
Are Perplexing Ques-
tions in Foreign Field.

London, Dec. 31.-Britain's s
outlook for 1921 is pictured in
rather sombre colors by politi-
clans, economists, financiers and
labor leaders. At home two out
standing problems - unemploy-
ment and Ireland-have baffled
the government, while it is also
concerned with a vigorous news
paper campaign against so-called
government extravaganza.
In the foreign field looking eastward,
there is the perplexing problem of sett-
l;Eg the Palestine boundaries promising
some pointed exchanges of opinion with
France; Mesopotamia, with its huge ex-
pause, and its oil; the ever-present Per-
sian difficulties. which the last agree
ment has not allayed; India, which is in
greater state of unrest than for years,
requiring an exceptionally large garri-
son; Russia with her trade proposals,
which have caused split in the British
cabinet, and the uncertain Greek situa-
ton.

Merchants Dump Goods
Some relief is promised in reduced
cost of living except in the price of food
which rose steadily during 1920. With
industry hard hit and a million jobless
merchants who had been holding COM
modities for higher prices, are expected
to continue to dump their goods at Il
loss.
As the year opens, the Lloyd George
government apparently is maintaining
firm hold and there is little evidence
that any of the many small factions in
parliament. either separately or in con-
certed actions, is able to defeat the cab
met and force general elections. Strong
political barricades still obstruet ap.
proaches to government buildings and
huge iron gates at the entrances to
some official buildings are kept closed.
This is done, the government announced,
because it feared Sim Fein outbreak,
tut it is known also that it considered

have on the restiye minds OF the un-
