Would Care for Expenses IF
Government for Fiscal ,~
Year 192l.1922 :
WAR APPROPRIATIONS
FORM LARGE AMOUNT
Navy Department Estimate for
Next Year Exceeds that e
of Current Year
BY United Press)

\
Washington, Dec. s. lBy Herbert
Walker. Appropriations, Of $4,000
449.S57.32 for the regular expenses
OF the government for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1922, was requested
of congress today by Secretary Of the
treasury Houston. In submitting the
actual estimate of the executive de-
purtment.' the amount exacted ex-
ceeds the appropriations for the tis
cal year by $S55,407,372.GS, al
though ii is approximately four mil
lion less than the actual e"tinats
submitted by the secretary in 1919.
Congress as ii passed finally on the
cuUent appropriation bill reduced
the last estimate by more than six
millions and republican leaders have
already served notice that the esti-
mate submitted by Houston today
will receive similar treatment. Com
pared to annual appropriations OF
the pre-war period. the Houston esti-
mate is nearly four times as great.
But, despite efforts toward eco
nun,y. the actual expenditures may
be larger than estimated because the
amount Houston asked does not in
clude the appropriation necessary
for the payment OF siX-months guar
lntee by the government to the rail-
rCrds after they are returned to pri-
vatc ownership; increased naval
building programs that will be
recommended by Secretary Daniels
are not allowed for; increased COM
pensation which some government
employees are demanding will have
to be met.
Three huge appropriations made
for the war and still outstanding
represent about IS per cent OF the
total estimate. The first is $l,l88,-
404.SS4.S7 for the interest on the
fund to pay of the national
war debt OF more than twenty-fOur
billions. Another is for S922.659,-
900. The total for the two accounts
was forty million. The appropria-
tons during the fiscal year due to re-
auctions in the public debt were ap-
DroX imutely $35. 100000 or almost
equal to the total expenses OF the
ten years ago. A sim
liar appropriation for the present
year amounted to only S4s5.0O0,00O. I
y
that IL will need more than $685.
900 900 during the next year. or ap-
S255, 100000 more than
was granted by congress during the
current year. The estimates for ma
val construction calls for expendi-
lures OF $lS4,O0O.0OO. This IL to
complete the naval craft authorized
in 1916 and in addition Secretary:
Daniels will ask for authorization OF
another building program.
The main divisions OF the govern
mcnt that are asking less money for
next year than received during the
present year are the War Risk In
surancc Bureau, the pension depart,
mont. the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education. the Department OF
and the White Houss.
The executive appropriation for this
year Is $7O1.32O. while for next year
the request Is for $436,8O0.
