Revealed in Britain.

By the Associa ted Press.
LONDON, August 16.-The report of
the committee on public accounts,
just made public. calls attention to
the widespread practice of the treas
ury in sanctioning payments of large
sums for purposes not authorized by
parliamentary grants. Gifts of pub
lie property to allied powers and to
the dOminions are particularly refer
red to. The report mentions the
warship Encounter, with guns and
stores. and three mine-swespers as
having been given to the Australian
commonwealth, two submarine en-
gines with spare parts to the Aus
tralian navy, two submarines with
torpedOes and stores to Canada and
certain hulls to an allied govern
ment.
Big Gift to Poland.
The report adds that 100000 in
surplus army stores were given the
Polish government without charge
and nearly t1S.UOO,UO0 worth of stores
issued to the RUSSIAN forces from
1915 to 1920. together with f6,5OO,VOO
in cash surplus airplanes with spare
parts were presented to Greece, the

Dealing with the departmental
trading account covering various
periods up to March 81, 1920, some
cases dating from the beginning of
the war, the report asserts that in
the case OF the sugar account 1t is
expected loss of E24,oOO,OUO will
accrue.
The report says the expenditure of
the government hospitality fund
needs to be carefully watched. 1t
remarks that there is want of tinan-
ciai grasp over expenditures in con-
nection with the foreign office and
special missions.
$4,OOO.OOO Lost i'm Shipyards.
With regard to the ministry of
shipping the report mentions that the
estimated gross cost OF national ship
yards totals f6,50O.00U, while the
amount realized from sales and dis
posals was f2,500,0O0. The committee
IL not satisfied that the ministry of
mutations in January. 1919. took
adequate steps to ascertain whether
there would be sufficient demand
abroad for railway cars of the con-
tinental type to justify their con-
tinued construction. II these steps
had been taken, it says, it would
have been possible to build cars more
chet ply for the use of the English
hnes' where they were badly needed.
