 WANT REASON WASTE FUNDS

LONDON, Sept 27 (by Associated Press).-British papers are printing almost daily examples of what they term a waste of public funds. A report just issued by the committee of pub lie accounts sheds fresh light on the governments plan to finance the Rus sian General Alexieff just before the bolsheviki revolution brought about his collapse. Part of the plan was to set up a Cossack state bank in Si- beria, and for that purpose $2,5O0,000 Vas loaned to the Russian financier. But the bank was never set up and the committee wants to know what hecame of the money.
 he ministry of munitions paid out $12,250,O00 for plant begun in 1917 and which, when the war was ended, was only half finished. For this de- lay, the committee points out, the country received no benefit whatever except through the ''stimulus to the steel trade.'
 Waste of nearly $5OO,OO0 is charged by the committee to the Admiralty on a scheme for establishing schools to train boys in pneumatic riveting.
 Cases are referred to by the com mittee where government officers holding responsible positions allotted contracts either to themselves or to firms in which they were interested. Such cases the committee assert, 'are especially liable to become an occasion for scandals"
