from the Navy Department to the

Although private industry has been
struggling with this question for
months, the Government has avoided
giving any moral support to either

arose the issue was inescap pable, and
now the word has gone forth from
the Administration that the quickest

felt that wage cuts, especially IN
Government enterprises, are an in

demand for economy.
Cu!iously enough, the business men
OF the national capital pleaded for
labor in the sense that the Govern

cuts so drastic. The Washington
merchants were led to take this action
by the argument that a cut In wages
meant a curtailment Of buying power.
