FIX ESTIMATE
OF EXPENSES
OF new YEAR
Various Departments Prepare
Proposals Upon Which Con-
gress Will Make Appropriia-
tlons for Administration.
CHANGES ARE EXPECTED
(BY Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. s.-Es-
Inmates upon which congress will
make appropriations for the first fiscal
year OF the new Republican admins
tfatlon are now being prepared by the
various government departments un.
der the direction of Democrat cabinet
OFFICES and in accord with the policies
OF the Wilson administration.
The estimates will be submitted TO
congress on the opening of the next
session on Dec. s. Since the Republi-
cans have a majority in both the SEN
ate and the house sharp changes are
expected to be made in most OF the es-
Inmates under revision plan which Re
publican congressional leaders are ex-
pected to work out in cooperation
with other leaders of the Harding ad.
mlnlstration which takes office March
f.
Same As In 1912.
The present political situation with
regard to the annual appropriations is
similar to that which obtained eight
years ago after the first election of
Woodrow Wilson. but. the economic
situation in the country was vastly diff
ferent. At that time the Republicans
were in control of the executive
branches of the government under
President Taft, but the Democrats
had majority in both the senate and
house. At that time, however, condi-
tions in the nation and world gener-
ally were normal and government ex-
penditures were only one-fourth of
what they are at this time.
Based On Requirements.
The forthcoming estimates for the
War Department will be based upon
the requirements of an army, the size
of which has been fixed by the Repub-
lican congress, but the naval esti.
mate to be submitted next month will
be based on the Democratic program
Secretary Daniels has repeatedly said
that unless the United States became
member of the League of Nations.
it must maintain the most powerful
navy in the world.
Under the program authorized in
1916 the government now is construct
ing five great battle cruisers and more
than that number of superdread-
| noughts and the forthcoming naval
estimate is expected not only to in
clude appropriations for carrying on
this work but also recommendations
for additional war craft
Estimates for all the government de.
partments are expected to exceed
$4,000, 100000. this total including
amounts for refunding portions of the
public debt.

Res: Vacation.
From the time of his arrival at Point
Isabel small and remote village on
the southern Texas coast, he was
ready TO plunge unreservedly into the
swing of a real vacation. Hunting,
fishing and golf are the particular
vacation offerings of the place, but of
the three he expected to omit hunting
because it never has been among his
favorite sports. A mornings fishing
expedition and an afternoon on the
golf links were to constitute his rou-
tine during virtually every day of his
visit.
The fact that Point Isabel lies only
six miles from the Mexican border, has
given rise to many whisperings of pos
sible conferences between the new
President-elect and representatives Of
the new regime in Mexico, but those
closest to Mr.. Harding were inclined
tc throw cold water on such of these
reports as have come to their atten-
tion.
No Conferences.
Mr.. Harding himself said today that
70 such conferences were in pros
pect", and that he had heard them
expressed only in newspaper specula-
ton The same attitude was taken by
the Presidene-elect toward published
suggestions that he might begin. be-
fore his Inauguration, informal con-
versations with European govern
ments regarding the formulation of an
association of nations. Not only does
he want his vacation undisturbed, but
he has said in public utterances that
he desired to have no negotiations
with foreign agents until he actually
had come into authority.
