evolved the idea of having his Sec

tally down in French and then read
it bnek to him in French. while he
made phonetic notes OF the English
version. Fortified with these notes
which he had practicod many times
in the past few weeks. he essayed 10
speak In English tonight. He had
not proceeded very far when there
were cries OF Louder Please
Please speak in French" and other
cries" No let us have it in Eng
lish." An attempt was finally to
solve the difficulty By having DR..
Merle ST. Croix Wright interpret for
Masterlinek Masterlinck would read
a line in French md DR. Wright
would then speak il in English. This
lasted just two minutes. when Master
linck flung up his hands and quit.
DR.. Wright then read the lecture from
the manuscript, Pine audience stuck

SECRETARY ALEXANDER

strictest economy, Joshua w. Alex.

secretary of commerce by Prestdcnt

field, resigned, gave out statement
endorsing national budget system.
As member of the sixty -sixth con-
gress, MIR. Alexander gave his hearty
support to the Good budget bill,
which was passed at the extra session.
The statement follows:
I'm view of the tremendous in
creases In our national expenditures,
every effort should be made to secure
economy In expenditures and to elinf-
nate unnecessary bureaus and dupii-
cation of service. To my mind. only
the establishment of national budget
systom will introduce economy and
efficiency in the government
with expenditures for the COM
ing fiscal year running into six bill
lions. there Is no other way out but
to economize without limitation. The
country faces financial problems as
serious ms during the war. As for
duplication OF service, ! md that
there are, for example. ten bureaus
collecting information on the cons
sumption OF coal, six on the export Of
coal. and six on the import Of coal.
THE Good budget bill. cor the
greater part, emhndies my views as
regards the necessary legislation to
create the system, and I sincerely
hope this bill or one including its
general features will become law
before the end of the present con-
gress.
The Good hill provides for sweep
irg changes In the existing system Of
making federal appropriations rxid Is
calculated to reduce the cost OF
operating the executive departments
through increased economy and eff
cheney.
Before the congress finally passes
a bin for the budget, beffeve some
provision should he made eliminating
legislative riders from money bills.
except in clearly defined cases and to
meet emergencies.
THE time has come when every
legislator must realize that the budget
matter in national issue. There has
long been agreement on some form
of a budget. IT IL now time to effect
the speedy passage of n measure that
Will be comprehensive in it's provfs-
ions. 1t l. a good thought for the
