cessful mining engineers:
John w. Weeks, Secretary OF War.
formerly owner of a large Boston
banking and brokerage house;
Colonel Charles r. Forbes. Direc-
tor of the War Risk Insurance Bu-
reau. a leading Pacific Coast busi-
ness man.
Dawes job consists in complete
reorganization of the government
financial machinery, elimination OF
overlapping and duplicating expendi-
lures and the drawing up OF a new
system of estimating for expendi-
lures. He must also make recon-
mendations to the President and
Congress for government reorganiza-
ton.
Dawes said "pitiful machinery pro
vided by the budget law" for this
task makes it necessary to rely on
volunteer assistants. Only four men
are given him under the law, he
said
"One might as well be handed a
toothpick with which to climb Pixies
Peak" Dawes declared, in referring
to the task before him
1T is evident that II this, the
greatest business crisis which our
government has ever confronted is
TO be properly met chief reliance
will have to be placed upon some
thing else than the pitiful machin-
cry provided by law.
81 am therefore accepting the po-
sition of director of the budget only
with the idea that the patriotism OF
the bureau chiefs and the country
as a whole can be so aroused in this
emergency that it will be met as was
the emergency OF war four years
ago.
Unless the bureau chiefs and the
leading business men Of the Goun-
try respond to the call Of the Presi-
dent as they did four years ago, the
situation Is hopeless so far as any
material relief for two years is con-
cerned from this course"
Dawes spent an hour with Hard
iIsg and then issued his long state
ment outlining his plans.
He said he expects to work out a
new budget by December 1 and then
retire to private life again. The
business men whom he expects tc
call to Washington will be planted
in various departments so that work
can be delegated TO them. The first
budget report must be ready fol
Congress December /.
Dawes announced that his busi
ness associate William T. Abbott
will be acting assistant director fol
two months pending selection of Z
permanent assistant. The War De
parement will be asked to detail
General George Van Horn Moselel
and Colonel Henry c. Smithers VIII,

Dawes also announced that twl
others who will be associated will
him in the bureau are Francis j
