DAWES GETS RESULTS.

Drector-Genera Dawes exercising the powers ferred on him by President Harding is reentlessly well effectively putting into force program of economy among the various departments, bureaus and commissions at Washington. In a recent letter to the President Mr. Dawes reported an estimated sav- ing for the fiscal year ending June 30 1922 of 62S32 made possible, he said by co-opera- tion with the heads of the various organizations.
 This fine response your request from the heads of departments and independent organizations and bureau chiefs he wrote. incidental to your assump- mental administration, infers the existence in their minds of three principles involving improvemnt in governmental business, which should not be over looked
 First. that the business organization of the Gov ernment hereafter assumes that the minimum amount of money to be expended in any fiscal year is not, of necessity, the sum appropriated in advance by Congress. but the smallest amount upon which the business of the Government be efficiently admin istered under the program outlined by Congress
 Second, that the minds of the business admin istrators of Government have been diverted from a too reliance upon the custom of deficiency ap- populations.
 Third, that where Congress has directed the ex- penditure of certain for specific purposes ar executive pressure will be exerted for more eff cient and economical administration in order to produce greater results from that given expenditure and also. wherever possible complete the given project for less amount than the total appropriated for that purpose"

The ifs are numerous, Confirmation of this is supplied by a recent news story concerning the approaching trial flight of the R-3S Americas dirigibe. Judging by this story, any statement concerning balloons conduct or future must contain many qualifying phrases as a political prophecy of what a New York pol- tician may or may not do provided and if something else does not happen in the meantime

Other information to the effect that the R-38 almost fills her shed, and necessarily the test can be made only perfect day, as it will be as difficulty to get the craft back into the shed as to take it out" This is frequently true of candidates.
 The further possibility is suggested that a storm rises while the R38 is in flight it will be necessary to keep her in the air until it entirely subsidies" (Cf. Mayor Hyan's aeronautics affected by the activities ofthe Meyer investigating committeeD

 Just when the country is learning the interesting if depressing that it has hundreds of millions in trying to in the shipping business, along Senator Norris Nebraska with siverplated plan for losing at least another hundred million He wants bill passed by Congress authoriz ing the creation of hundred million dollar corpora ton, the Government to furnish the funds the general management to be in the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury and few others to be by the President the corporation to purchase products from the farmers and sell abroad If the lamp of exper- fence supplies any light for guidance Congress would do well to dump that bill unceremoniousy deep waste basket
 Every right-thinking would be delighted if some plan devised for betterng conditions for the producers on the farm. But business is needed in handling that proposition Moonshine and half-baked ideas will to make conditions complicated and unsatisfactory The country has laws authorizing the creation of foreign trade cor porations But no one private corporation or sub sidized by Government, sell goods abroad until some means has been provided by which the people piled to foreign buyers Getting the goods to them is the smallest part of the business If private owners will take longtime paper, if the Government will supply credit abroad, there be volume of trade developed.
