REDUCTION OF PUBLIC DEBT
is FAXED; FORDNEY
From the Chicago Tribune.

Washington, d. c., April IT,
Demonstrating that the public debt
has been reduced less than $786, ,000,-
900 during the present fiscal year, and
that the state of the treasury on Mar.
81 was less favorable by $214,000,000
than on June 80 last, Representative
Fordney of Michigan, chairman of the
house committee on ways and means
vigorously attacked the administra-
ton today for extravaganza and lack
of sound postwar fiscal policy.
Mr.. Fordney's remarks were called
forth by a widely circulated state
ment, inspired by the administration,
that the debt had been reduced $7O5,-
100000 in the last month alone, an
alleged accomplishment which was
cited in the statement as "sound evi-
dence" Of the success of the treasury
program.
Improvement Offset
"That alleged Sound evidence" u"
said Mr.. Fordney, ais based on a
wholly fictitious reduction of the ma
tional debt, Such claims, if made,
deliberately resolve themselves into
sheer OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
sentation which raises false hopes and
a. false confidence in the public mind
The outstanding fact is that since
July 1, 1919, our disbursements have
exceeded our revenue from all sources
by $214,207,713.
"Our public debt since June 30,
1919, the close of the fiscal year 1919,
has been reduced TO the extent of but

net reduction during a period which
