DAWES TO ASK FOR
 HELP WITH BUDGET
Will Ask Experienced Business
 men to Work Without Pay
PRESENT STAFF TOO SMALL

Horn Moseley and Col. Henry
 Smither Be Detailed to Aid in Or
 Washington, June 23-CharIes G. Dawes, chosen by President Harding to head the new government budget system, announced after a conference with the president today that he would call on a number of experi- enced business men to serve in the budget bureau without pay because he considered the staff provided by congress wholly inadequate.
 MT. Dawes declared in a. statement that if the budget system was to be "a success, reliance must be placed on something else than a pitiful machinery provided by law
 'One might as well be handed a toothpick with which to tunnel Pike's Peak" he said.
 MT. Dawes, said he would ask that two army officers who distinguished themselves for organization work in the American Expeditionary Force be detailed to the bureau and had asked his business associate in Chi cago, William T. Abbott, to serve temporarily as acting assistant di- rector.
 Names Army Officers.
 The two army officers are Brig. Gen. George van Horn Moseley, for mer assistant chief of staff in Gen. Pershing's headquarters in France and Col. Henry Smither, former as- sistant chief of staff in the service of supply. Both were associated with MT. Dawes in France during the war.
 -fo{ o-f
 We all know the desperate con- dit.on of. the business of the country at present-industrial agricultural and commercial-and that it is stag gering under a tremendous burden of taxation from which it must be relieved if it is to properly revive.
 Congress has passed the budget law in order to give the president the machinery with which to secure the information necessary for him to direct the reform of government bus mess administration and save taxes.
 Staff Is Limited. ....<
 Let us see what congress has done to give the director of the budget the machinery to attempt this col ossal task. He is given an appro- priation of two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars for expenses and employees and an assistant each in each department appointed by the ca binet head. But from the two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollar appropriation besides the as- sistant director of the budget he can employ for this stupendous work only four men of his own selection at not over six thousand dollars each. For the rest of his force he is compelled to take his chances on men to be certified to him by. the civil service commission.
 "One might as we'll be handed a toothpick with which to tunnel Pike's Peak.
 Tt is evident that if this, the great est business crisis which our govern ment has ever confronted, is to be properly met, chief reliance will have to be placed upon something else than the pitiful machinery provided by law with which to exercise the wide powers extended to the budget only with the idea that the patriotism of the bureaucrats 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."

Members Vote to Have Usual
 Celebration
LUCIUS STORRS IS SPEAKER
Delivers Interesting Talk At Noon Day Luncheon-Committee Re-

The city of New Britain will have a display of fireworks at Walnut Hill park on the eveeing of July I as the result of action taken by the Rotary club at the luncheon of that organization held at the Elks' club this noon. Leon A. Sprague, presi- dent of the club expressed his opin- ions to the club in which he stated that he thought that the working class of the city should be given an opportunity to enjoy the night with tho urual display of fireworks at the park. as they had been in the habit of doing in the past.
 The majority of those present agreed with MT. Sprague, with the result of motion being made that a committee be appointed to prepare for the affair and make a call for subscriptions to defray the expenses. Arthur kimball was chosen chairman of the committee.
 President Storrs Speaks.
 Lucius P. Storrs, president of the Connecticut Company was the speak CT at the noon day luncheon. MT. Storrs gave an interesting talk in which he discussed the trolleyjitney situation throughout the state and how the situation affects New Britain.
 According to MT. storrs New Brit ain has a s3.000,0O0 electrical plant and is one of the best in the state. From the year of 1916 to 1921 in elusive which is a five year period the revenue in this city has increased 54 per cent. At the same time the sort of maintenance has increased T., not been a paying proposition for five years and the revenue for this time has only been $7o,0O0 which is not considered a large amount for a three million dollar plant.
 In his talk MT. Storrs said that the jitneys or in fact any sort of, motor vehicle transportation methods cannot take care of the masses of people desirous of travelling at cer- tain hours of the day. They can. however. take care of them during the usual slow period of the day.
 Non-Paying Lines.
 In looking over the New Britain trolley situation MT. Storrs stated that the Farminston avenue line since it was built some five years ago has never paid for its upkeep. There are several lines in New Britain which are non-paying and which may be abandoned" said MT. Storrs. A little later he added that the Arch street line may be abandoned by the company if jitneys are allowed to operate on that street after July Is.
 In Regards to Fares.
 Following his talk MT. Storrs an- swered many questions in regard to the trolley situation and more par ticularly on the present basis of fares. Asked if ten cents was fair charge on the Arch street line MT. Storrs replied in the affirmative. Tt is." he said, when one takes into consideration the fact that person may ride on a long run for the same price as he can on a short one. The idea of paying for the distance person rides was brought up last year with the zone system. It proved a failure and the public utilities commission decided that fiat rate would be better. We could not oper- ate on a five cent fare and therefore I think ten cents is just, he said.

fltty-siN years ago poor but honest Irish family emigrated from the Emerald Isle to America and on November 25, 1865, settled in New Britain. or that immediate family group, all but one son have subae- quently passed away. John Nc Donough, typical of the sturdiness of Erin's sons went to work immediate ly and has worked for but two differ ent firms in the ensuing 4S years.
 When that little Irisp family settled on Sexton street, 56 years ago, there were less than 5000 people in the town of New Britain and many sec tions, which now contain city streets were farm sites.
 Young John secured employment in the machine department of the Russell X Erwin plant. Fourteen years later he was promoted to the molding department, where he spent the succeeding 14 years. Then he made his first change of employment in the country and went to selling insurance for the John Hancock company, which business he followed for an even score of years. He is observing the anniversary, of his ar rival in the country today

BELA KUN SEES
 RUSSIA ON TOP
Prominent Hungarian Says Coun-
 try Will Be on Feet

Moscow, Nov 25,-(By Associated Press) -Russia will be on her feet again and take her place among the wealth producing nations Of the world within the next four or five years, says Bela Kun, formerly Hun garian communist leader, He is now living with his wife and child in a small house attached to q hospital in the outskirts of Moscow,
 He writes for the Communistic press is active in the third intcrnationale and is well thought of in the councils of inc Big Five" who control affairs in Russia namely, Leninc Trotzky Kaminiey, Djer2nslSy and Boul,harin.
 It will be recalled that Bela Kun was head of the communist govern ment in Hungary for five months in the spring and summer of 1919 and had to flee when the Rumanian army invaded the country and completed the wreCkage wrought by the world war. To the correspondent of The Associated Press he said
 We are on the right road now, here in Russia. l am not speaking IS an official of the Soviet republic, but it is evident that the new economic policy will succeed. Russia will come back in four or five years.
 You have just been through Rus sia. You see how rich she is, rich as the United States in forests in soil, in mines. Her people have broken down the old feudalism. They are at last free. They are being educated, and that is wealth, too,
 Surely, such a country should have a better chance of repaying for eign investments than bankrupt coun- tries of western Europe lacking Rus sias natural resources.
 The government here is finished with revolutions and is growing more stable and will and can protect for eign investments. Industrial or social revolutions may come elsewhere but we arc through with them.
 Communism has not failed. Until now we were running a sort of war communism and we were hit by the foreign blockade too. With peace, the government will continue to con trol and own the great industries, and in the end will absorb all but the smaller ones. That doesn't mean there isn't room for foreign Conces- sions, Russia is so big.
 we are not getting around to democratic government like that of the United States. We are doing bet ter. We are working to libarate the workers and try to prevent their cX- poitation.
 Tn considering business hazards with Russia, let the American busi- ness men remember that so far the United States has obtained only nice bits of paper, promises 10 pay from France, England and Italy on the huge sums loaned them"
 Bela Kun is working 10 overcome the famine. which he fears may eX- ! tenl far into the next year, partly be- | case of the lack of seed grain, which ] the Soviet government cant provide in sufficient quantities. partly due to
