three years of existence was made up,
but it was not made public until six

report is before US and it states that at
diff erent times Congress made appropria-
tons for carrying on the operations of
the Board to the amount of $3,213,217,-
$40 and the Board spent every cent of it
and 1887, 529, 1856 more, total of $4,000,
TAG, 800, on an average more than $l3,-
OO0,GOO in every working day during
three years was expended.
The revenues from operations and sales
of ships were reported as being 81, 1885,
928, 1856. The expenses of operation and
cost of ships sold amounted to 81. &c.,

The Federal Executive d apartment of
the United States are made up of the
President, 10 cabinet officers and about
200 boards, bureaus, commissions, COM
mittees, etc. 1t is the duty of the Cen
eral Supply Committee to purchase all
he office equipment Notwithstanding
this fact it has been the general practice
of all of the departments to buy these
supplies in the outside market with little
or no regard to what the Supply Commit
tee might have on hand. A new depart
ment, the Budget, has been created. Mr..
Dawes has been appointed Director and
he has decreed that supplies are to be
furnished only when actually needed and
only from the Supply Committee. Mr..
Dawes has also ordered every bureau to
make an inventory of its Office equip
ment and hand it over with such surplus
supplies as it may have, to the Supply
Committee. There has been a wicked
waste and a prodigal superflulty Of office
supplies for Washington or long time,
especially of furniture and typewriters.
Mr.. Dawes proposes to put stop to this.

All the above except accounts receiv-
able, notes receivable, cash and cash
funds and investments are. not listed at
their value June 80, 1920, but at their
actual cost which was more than three
billion dollars.
No balance sheet has been made up for
the fiscal year following June 80, 1920.
Mr.. Lasker, the new chairman of the
board, appointed by President Harding,
has 200 auditors at work on the books
and they have been unable thus far to de-
termine what the losses of the last year
have cen, owing to the lax and imper-
feet method of booking which the Board
allowed. Speaking to the President about
this, Mr.. Lasker said: 'Had the books
been kept with the view of cheating and
deceiving Congress and the country, they
could not have been kept in much differ
ent shape than they have been and
measure the words l am saying. 1t has
almost worn me out physically and men,
tally to get anything from the books
It hat could be regarded as complete"
Mr.. Lasker estimates, however, that
during the last year the Board spent
about 5000, 900, 900 and that the net loss
of the years operations had been more
than 5000, 100000. The admitted loss
during the first three years and the esti-
mated loss during last year amount to
about three quarters of billion dollars.
The Shipping Board now has property
in charge acquired by paying war time
prices and some of it at cash plus prices,
to the amount of nearly two and half
billion dollars. If Mr.. Lasker succeeds
In disposing of it at half its cost he will
do we'll. In wastefulness and incom-
etency the Shipping Board has out
footed McAdoo and distanced Baker.
