PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH
While Country Faces Crisis, Many Peo-
pie Have Turned Gamblers and
Wasters-Opposes Bonus and
Increased Pensions.

New York, May 3.-The govern
ment of the United States ''is dead
locked against itself, a government of
obstruction" Assistant Secretary Lef-
fingwell of the treasury declared in a
speech before the Academy of Politi-
cal science.
Failure of the government to deal
In a constructive way with any one
Of the vital national problems he at
tributed largely to the fact that the
government is divided against itself"
1T is at least questionable" Mr.. LET
fingwell continued. whether the prog
ress of reaction would have been so
complete or so disastrous if our insti-
tutiOns had not given this country.
during the most critical period of the
worlds history, government divided
against itself and therefore incapable
of effective leadership in national or
international affairs.
eat this most critical moment in the
history of Europe, when financial and
economic stake in EurOpe's affairs is
so great that disaster there could
mean only disaster here, many of our
own people have turned gamblers and
MASTERS. For plain living and high
thinking we have substituted wasting
and pickering We enjoy high living.
while we grumble at the high cost of
living"

fingwell said. The nation must get
together stop pickering and face the
critical situation which cOnfronts the
world as we should foreign war"
Government expenditures must be
cut to the quick" he said. and I'VE
must adjure bonuses and realize
promptly on all saIable war assets,
including ships. applying the proceeds
to the war debt" He argued for
national budget with teeth in it."
Mr.. Leffingwell assailed the govern
ment's administrative policy as pen
ny wise and pound foolish" reciting
how congress had struggled to effect
economies at the expense of efficient
administration while it takes time to
add $65,00O,OOO to Civil war pensions"
Instead of telling the people frank
ly and boldly" he said. that prices
are high because they are wasting. we
fix prices and prosecute prOfiteers in
order that the people may buy more
and pay less. Instead of telling the
young men who were drafted to fight
the war, and who came back better
and stronger and more fit TO fight their
own battles than they ever were be-
fore, TO go to work and save their
money and look out for themselves
as any self-respecting man should, we
listen cOmplacently to their organized
demands for a bonus, euphemistically
called adjusted compensation
Senator Edge told the convention
that there is too much government
in business and not enough business
in government"

"Such impertinence, Quigg, merits a
reprimand, but I'll give you truthful

Mr.. Quigg placed his glass on the
table with elaborate precision. His
puffy eyes narrowed.
Fit" said he. I'm going to take a
chance. I've watched you twice today,
and / think I've found the man l want.
I'm no bad judge of a man, either

Fitzhugh glanced at the bill, ard

you're playing?"
Quigg chuckled and raised a fat,
gloved hand in protest. Il beg TO be
excused until I've seen my attorney.
Here, boy" A waiter came hurrying.
Get me taxi. I've twenty minutes to
spare. Well hustle over to my tailor
That's bum outfit you're wearing"
Fitzhugh, in accordance with prior
arrangement, reported to his new ell
ployer at nine-thirty Wednesday morn
ing. He had given up his room in
Illinois street, and had taken an un-
pretentiOuS apartment in pretentiOuS
hotel farther north.
His correct morning attire, fault
less, well-tailOred. expensive; his fire.
~ pointed beard and mustache brushed
away from his lips in French fash
ion, even the red flower in his button
hole, lent to his inches an air of dis
tinction foreign to ChicagO's higgledy-
piggledy financial district. He was
acting perfectly the popular conception
of a gentleman of leisure" and
quick. sidelong gIanCes of surreptitiOus
interest were cast his way by the hur-
rying clerks and traders, pressing
down La Sale street toward the boar
of trade as he entered the building
where was the abode OF Quigg and

On a narrow platform before the

youth walked up and down chalking

across the floor, clutching at their

And in all this feverish animation
there was something vaguely artificial
too subtle for the casual OnlOOker,
perhaps, but there nevertheless.

ALLIES ARE IN ACCORD
Lloyd George Says All Are
Pleased Over Farley.
Tells House of Commons There Is Nc
Difference of Opinion as to En-
forcement of Treaty

London, May 1.-Premier Lloyd
George. speaking in the house of com.
mons on the subject of the recent al
lied conference at San Reno. said
that before the conference there had
been some misunderstanding serious
enough in themselves, but made grave
by deliberate fOmenting on the part
of very reckless persons.
But" he continued, Il am glad to
say that the day is once more clear
So far as can see. everyone is salts
fed at what happened at San Reno
The premier declared the confer.
ence had been the most remarkable
one in every respect held since the
armistice. There never had been such
a conference as regarded satisfaction
with the agreement by all the parties
concerned, or the happiness which had
been brought about, he said.
The conference, declared the pre-
mier, dispelled all suspicion that the
treaty of Versailles was not to be en-
forced.
Mr.. Lloyd George said there had
been no difference of opinion between
the allies as to enforcement of the
treaty.
There was no difference of opinion
on disarmament he said, but when it
came to ordering disarmament there
was no one n Germany who seemed
to have the power TO enforce the de-
cree, and that was one of the great
est difficulties the allies had to face.
Let the German minister come to
Spa with some definite proposal re-
garding the sum she can pay and the
method by which she proposes to pay,
or any other suggestion for the liqui-
datiOn OF her liability"
