MONDELL URGES CUT I'M
WAR APPROPRIATIONS

Washington: Republican Floor
Leader MondelI recently declares a
mid applause from the House, that we
shall never be able to make adequate
appropriations for internal improve
ments and other constructive govern
ment works unless we reduce the enor-
nous total Of the appropriations car
ried in the Army and Navy bills.
This year, he pointed out, we have
appropriated $845, 100000 directly
for military and naval purposes, more
than three times as much as in any
Ipre-war year. cit is much more than
we should appropriate for the coming
fiscal year" he said, and yet the War
Department is asking us for $500
600 more. f"
Congressman MondeIl criticised Sc
cretary Baker for recruiting the army
far beyond the number appropriated
for by Congress and declared it was

Secretary from squandermg the peo-

Department Is an unwelcome Christ
mas gift from Secretary Baker to a
Congress harrassed by financial rou-

ity demanding tax reduction.
This action Of the Secretary lends
point to Congressman Mondell's de-
mand that Congress cut the war APP
preparations not only below the bloat-
ed estimates just submitted but below
the swollen figures of the present year.

the constructive activities of the gov

himself in trying to save anything for

voracious demands of the Army and
