Refrain from Spending.

From January to March I, this country's
gross and floating debt increased $262,8I6,soo This
is not sehous matter Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon shows, since this is period of light
receipts and the receipts for the eight months of
the fiscal year to February 2s, exceeded expendi-
lures by around $Iooooo,ooo
1t is not serious that another $4oo,oooooo of
tax certificates must be placed to unusual ex-
penditures in liquidating' obligations the rail-
roads, and like indebtedness. Mr.. Mellon states in
his notification to this fotation, that the
national finances are sound. but that there is no
room between receipts and expenditures for the
play'of anything save strict economy. He says:
The people generally must become more in
terested in saving the governments money than
in spending it. thoroughgong national budget
system must be established, and the govern
ment's expenses brought into relation to its in
come.
Over the heads of the bankers or through
them, this is message to the people and to Con-
gress. 1t says in effect that this is not the time
ask for of national benevolence, called
social justice" of by any other name. 1t is not
a time to tax the States and then give the tax
back to them,~ provided they tax themselves to an
equal amount for some altruistic project Of ques-
tionable practicability.
1t is not the time to undertake great projects
of supermposed socialization bringing into being
another horde of place filters. 1t is not time to
add to the army OF Federal employees, nor to under
take to regulate by law what is the natural choice
of free people. On the contrary, this is time
not for experiment with ideals, but for strict
omy.
There should be no new demands upon the
Treasury is what Mr.. Mellon says in this first
public statement, but the institution of complete
budget system that will save expenditure and help
in tax reduction 1t is the conclusion of busi-
ness man who brings to the nations business the
long experience and training of one who has had
large part in framing the financial policies OF
corporations, which in the aggregate are second to
that of Uncle Sam.

Making an Army.

: The United States showed what it could do dur
ing the war. But it took a full year for it to get
ready and at the end of nineteen months 1t was
but prepared to get in full swing. Never before
has any country had such condition; never has
another had that time for preparation.
mans enemy does not wait for him to take
off his coat, roll up his sleeves, spit on his hands
and take lessons in boxing, cut club, before
hitting him. Secretary of War Weeks realizes this
unique situation of the world war, and the present
situation.
He accepts the judgment of Congress for a
small standing army But he also sees there are
ways to re-enforce this in of need and to cut
down that year and the nineteen months to the time
which would probably be available for defensive
mobilization. He has asked the former members
of the world war army to join the National Guards
or the reserve.
In this he but asks them not to forget their
training but keep in fair condition for emer-
gency. He would unity the regular army, National
Guard and reserves into well balanced harmonious
effective army of all services. He would have this
army completely offcered, organized as divisions
and auxilares. They should also be fully equipped.
This is practical. 1t is sensible preparedness
through civilian forces, kept in sufficient training
without being Withdrawn from their occupations
and without interference with production 1t shows
what can be done without burdensome expense.
without shade of militarism by a man who is
resourceful and has initiative.

Whoever heard Of picnicking IN
Arlington?
The writer has by pen and tongue
protested against private ownership
Of Mount Vernon for years, as one
of the most discreditsble things
of our government. il not the most
amazing thoughtlessness- Far be
il from the writer to depreciste the
grand. patriotic women who saved

spirit that actuates these fine Amer

enough TO admit that il should be
open to every man, woman and
child to go there and MI his soul

with veneration by seeing the sim
( pie and beautiful old place and the
tomb that preserves Washington s
dust. They must know that this

impressing any child or adult that

may learn a lesson.

is a very poor plea. Millions Of

arranged by the local chapter Of the
Society of Sigma Nj.
This honor society, to which many
scientists Of Washington belong.
and which is TO the scientific world
what Phi Beta Phi is to the academic
world. is planning to visit scientific
bureaus and other places of gen.
eral interest. Most OF the scien-

scientists, as they work during the
same hours and the laboratories are,
closed to visitors at the time that
they are not at work. Under the
proposed arrangement. trips will
be made under a cooperative plan
whereby men in the institutions Wis
tied will arrange to escort the other
members OF the society through
these institutions at a time outside
of the regular working hours and
when other visitors are not pres
ent, in order that the members may
be given an intimate view Of the
workings OF the institution. 1t 10
