Cermany's Budget Calls
For 40 Billion Marks
Railway and Postal Deficit of
1900, 600, 900 May Be Added
tn 1920 ExDcnditurcs

to 19ZO Expenditures
BERLIN, April 2o.-Expenditures of
10000, 900, 900 marks, to which may be
added the railway and postal deficit
of 1900 600, 900 marks, are provided for
in the budget for the fiscal year of
1920, which was laid before the Budget
Committee of the National Assembly
by DR.. Wirth, Minister of the Treas
ury, to-day. The ordinary budget
showed revenues amounting to 26,000,-
100000 marks, but expenditures totaled
27,950 900, 900 marks, SO there is def
cit of 1880 ,0O0, 900 marks.
The deficit for the state railways will
reach a huge total, DR.. Wirth said,
owing to new demands by the men,
which cannot be granted without the
assent Of the National Assembly and
the Budget Committee. He confessed
himself at loss to provide new
sources of revenue by taxation, unless
it be by the creation Of state monop
olies.
DR.. Wirth also foreshadowed the
consolidation of Germany's floating
debt, which step, he hoped, would be
conducive to the granting of credits
by foreign nations.
The Minister of Transportation said
the present system under which the
railroads are being operated could IT
possibly continue. Herr Hoch, Social
list, said, in his opinion, heavier taxa
ton on large fortunes was imperative.
Herr Pachnike, Democrat, asserted the
limit of the country's financial capacity
had been reached.

Civilian Force
To Economic
1880 May Be Released
This Month as the Result
of Rejection of Request
for Deficiency Funds
All Bureaus Making Cuts
Extent of Curtailment Is
Held Contingent on the
Future Action of Congress

From The Tribnnc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The re-
fusal of the House and Senate to grant
so-called deficiency appropriations has
compelled the War Department to re-
duce its force of civilian employees,
which until few weeks ago was larger
than on the day the armistice was
signed. Despite the pressure from all
over the country for cutting down Of
governmental expenses, SO that the
wartime taxes could be reduced. the
nuHaheg of employees in practically
etar ryosOvernment department has been
gfAattahy tending upward since the
aypaistNe instead of downward.
sThsi War Departments reduction, an
n6aneed' to- day, is the first real effort
toward economy. Hitherto the Ad-
minNtneteon has been ignoring cuts by
ConffEszRnd then coming IN with "ue-
fcieNd4 appropriations to take care
of tkaeXtra employees. This situation
alwatS. is embarrassing, since to deny
the tAHpropriation would in some in
stanhM mean that the clerks would not
InHlarch the War Department, as d
sof the refusal Of Congress to
grartf 5the deficiency appropriations, let
1,833eAmployees 60, and it is estimated
tha4Mis redYation will be slightly ex-
see seehlthis th: SIM, Since ); April da about out
the h{Eio will be increased in the re-
mai&k days of the month. Every bu-
reaJi Hnd bsaRch of the department,
withlthe single exception of the ad-
juta3jtl generals office, is steadily re-
ducMH its working force, and the
prodkSS will continue until July l.
wheHifhe reduced appropriations for
the t}44t fiscal year become operative.
WMeh the armistice was signed, No
vemtH3 Ii, 1918, the force in the adiu-
tanal GENERALS Office numbered 3.185
SindR !fhen it increased to $500. That
excdptional increase is due to special
legiO{tion designed to facilitate the
handling of the records of the soldiers
whost$dok part in the World War.
T4Hf are now about $4,000 employees
Of tHklWar Department in this city, and
it iamughly estimated that the number
willtM reduced by 5000, and possibly
morHtby July / next. The actual ex-
tenHM the curtailment required during
the Intervening period is said to be
confHgent on the future action of
Congress.
Wherever possible, the temporary
employees now being released by the
War Department are given employment
in other departments of the government,
like the Census Bureau. Within the
last month 121 clerks, mostly in the
army finance division, were transferred
to the Census Office, and places for
others were found in the adjutant gen.
erals Office and elsewhere

Commerce Chamber
To Organize Public
Welfare Committee
$50 Business Men Pledge
Aid in Plan to Guard
Against Strik ke Menace;
Soldier Bonus Opposed

Condemning the recent unauthorized
railroad strike as the act Of IAN ire
sponsible minority which sought to i'm
peril our form of government" the
Chamber of Commerce Of New York
State, at a special meeting at 65 Lib
erty Street yesterday, decided to or
ganze a committee on public welfare
to protect the public interest in case of
future strikes.
Three hundred and fifty prominent
business men pledged themselves to
support the plan. Alfred E. Marling,
the president, reported that several
thousand volunteers had been enrolled
as the beginning of an organization
which will undertake to maintain trans.
portation systems in emergencies. Mr.
Marling was authorized to appoint a
committee of ten members to perfect
the plans. He said the committee prob
ably will be selected to-day.
Resolutions embodying the plan, as
presented by E. II. Outerbridge, de-
clared:
"Civilizaton is now menaced by false
and distorted economic and politica
ideas. An irresponsible minority Of
the population has been organized with
the purpose of making unreasonable
dem ands, interrupting the normal chan
nels of communication and Of public
service and pursuing a course incon
sistent with our form of government
The resolutions provide for the ap
pointment of committee to draw
plans of organization whereby the
New-York tribune., 1920-04-22

public may by volunteer servicesaid in
maintaining the transportation OF
passengers food and fuel and in as
sistng the duly constituted authori-
ties in preserving law and order"
Emphatic protest was voiced by the
chamber against the granting of Fed
eral or state blanket bonuses to for
mer service men. Charles D. Freeman,
Lconor F. Loree, John T. Pratt and
Howard C. Smith presented report
showing that if the Federal govern
ment granted blanket bonuses $2,000,-
100000 would be added to the national
debt. The added expense, the report
said, would require retroactive excise
tax on war profits, revival of the rates
levied for 1918, heavy tax on lux
uries, a general sales tax or another
bond issue.
"Any one of these methods of raising
additional revenue would mean an IN
creased burden" the report set forth
land is neither just nor expedient ~
There exists no convincing evidence
that the veterans of the World War
are willing to become beneficiaries OF
public expenditure which will in
evitably bring serious economic con
sequences and will endanger the public
welfare"
Concerning the proposal for state
bonuses, the chamber adopted this re
port: "If the principle is fallacious fo1
the Federal government it is equally
so for the state government. Especially
is this true when the appropriation
contemplated by the Legislature ant
estimated at $50,0O0,o00 is endanger
ing the greatly needed appropriation
for school teachers salaries
Pensions for disabled soldiers ant
for dependents of soldiers killed il
service were favored.
The adoption of national bulge
system under the supervision of tn
Treasury Department was recon-
mended. The chamber voted it's sup
port to Representative Good, chairman
of the House Committee on Appropria
tions, in his assertion that the govern
ment ought to be conducted along bust
ness lines. The Good bill, providing
that the term of Office Of Comptrollc
General be made permanent, was ap
proved.
A resolution was adopted invitin,

United States would assure its former
allies that this country would join with
them in preserving peace in Europe
whenever peace in Europe was threat
ened as 1t was in 1914.
Senator Knox was selected to write
the new resolution after members of
the committee had expressed the opin-
ION that he was qualified to draft a
measure whose constitutionality could
not be attacked, in view Of his services
as former Attorney General and later
Secretary OF State.
The resolution which Senator Knox
will draft and submit to the committee
for approval within few days will re-
peal the declarations of war against
Germany and Austria, repeal all war
time legislation and provide for the re-
establishment Of commercial relations
between the United States and Germany
and Austria. The Foreign Relations
Committee has not decided whether
