SION OF COMMITTEE
SLASHING BY THE WHOLESALE
Diplomatic And Consular Service
Amerieanization And Other Appro-
priations Fall Before Ak.

Observation-Disclosures held It's
three week" celebration, a wave OF
economy sweeping both the senate and
house. The net result was:
Decision by the house public build
ings committee not to recommend the
passage at this session of a public
buildings bill.
Reduction by the house foreign af.
fairs committee of the annual diplo-
matte and consular service appropria.
ton bill to SS,S43,O38, which is 3d..
OS5, 125 less than the state department
request. and S1,OS2,O74 less than was
appropriated for the present fiscal
year.
Elimination by the senate of an
appropriation of $42,50O,O00 from the
Americanization bill and substitution
therefor of an appropriation of $780,
900, restricted to use until the end of
the 1921 fiscal year, instead of an ex.
penditure over four years, as the larg
er appropriation contemplated.
Democrats and Republicans for the
most part joined forces in the slash
ing away at appropriations, the vote
to eliminate the customary "porky'
public buildings bill being unanimous
The reduction in the Americanization
bills appropriation was advocated
jointly by Senators McCumber, Re
publican, North Dakota, and Dial
Democrat, South Carolina.
The North Dakota senator told his
that according to careful |
the government would start
he fiscal year, beginning July l, with
4 deficit of three billion dollars. And
should expenditures for 1921 be kept
within the conservative estimates OF
Tx billion dollars, the senator thought
hey might be provided for, for there
would be nothing left to take care Of
he leftover deficit.
