NO SIGN Of
RETREVcHMENT
GOVERNMENT ESTIMATES. on A
LARGE SCALE.

Washington, ID. c.. Nov. 29.-
members of the house committee on
appropriations who are already here
preparing for work on government
supply bills at the coming session of
congress are amazed and astounded
at the government estimates of ex-
peditnres TO be submitted TO them
officially when congress reconvenes.
Some members of the committee.
IL has been learned. have been furn-
ished in confidence with a summary
of the estimates TO come forward
from the secretary of the treasury
They had expected that these estim-
ated would at least show some stud
led effort in view of general condi-
tions and the absolute necessity for
reduction of expenditures at effec-
tive economies. In this they were
disappointed.
I'VE were absolutely amazed. .
said a member of the committee to-
day today. who has seen a summary
of these estimates. There is abso-
lntely no evidence of any attempt on
the part of the heads of government
departments to cut down expenditur-
es. 1t is astonishing that in the face
of the nationwide agitation for cur
taIlmenr of government costs. for re-
duction in living costs and reduction
in taxation, there has been no APP
parent effort made by government
officials to economize In not one
department. SO far as we have been
able TO see. has there been any plan
ming for reduction of stupenduous
government drain upon the finances
of the nation No department has
made any provision for reduction in
working forces. In Washington
there are $4,000 government en-
ployes. whereas there were 37.800
before the United States entered the
war in 1917. and now, instead of re-
ducing this unnecessary force. some
department heads are actually in
cluding in their estimates provisions
1t lis sufficient to say that they are
going TO get some jolts when the APP
preparations committee gets through
with their estimates"
The estimates, il is believed. will
afford stimulus to the hearings on
tax and tariff laws which win start
soon after the holidays in advance
Of the special session of congress ex-
pected to be called after March 4.
Senator McCumber, of North Da-
kOta. who has acted as chairman of
the senate finance committee during
the illness of Senator Penrose, said
today that while he believed no final
action would be taken at the short
session of congress. no time should
be lost in getting the hearings under
way with q view to making consid-
cradle progress before the new ses-
sion begins. Although the present

OPPOSED TO JAPS
BEING NATURALlZED

San Francisco, Nov. Ex-senator
James D. Phelan of California today
sent a telegram to governors and
senators of western states asking
them to "please telegraph your poll
teal protest to the state department
against any treaty which gives for
eign-born Japanese now in this coun-
try the rights of citizenship"
The telegram was prompted, Sena-
tor Phelan said, by news dispatches
from London which said an agree
ment was nearing completion between
the United States and Japan which
proposes full citizenship for japanese
now in this country and under which
Japan would absolutely restrict fur
ther immigration to the United
States. He further said in an inter-
view that very often where treaties
were in course of consummation re-
ports often were allowed to be circu-
lated of the plans to test public op-n-
ion.
"Citizenship for japanese" said
the telegram, "would give them not
only control of the land, but also a
dangerous political power"
The telegram said in, part:
Experience teaches us that Japan
ese exclusion can be effected only by
United States laws. To grant rights
of citizenship, including land owner
ship, to the 100000 Japanese in Cali
fornia and the other thousands scat
tered throughout the western states,
would be nothing less than the de-
structionsof the white population.
"The japanese invasion has taken
the form of land purchase and under
the constitution persons now born on
the soil can own land and enjoy the
voting privilege. The Japanese al
ready here have birth rate three or
four times as great as the whites.
Resident japanese have recently
returned to Japan in large numbers,
since the picture bride abuse was
abolished, to bring back wives, with
the studied plan of increasing their
numbers.
"The initiative anti-alien land
law just passed by an overwhelming
vote by the people, indicates their
temper. Such a treaty as proposed
instead of producing better relations
would cause greater antagonism and
possibly lead to war. The japanese,
as usual are preparing for war as a
background for forcing their diploma
tic negotiations, and the state depart
ment evidently is frightened.
"a treaty should not be allowed to
attempt to override q state law pass
ed by people, who understand their
own peril and are acting for their
own preservation.
