tlrely on the economy ak" OF Charles

tho law appropriation measure-the naval
bill.
Congress, summary shows. has
authorized tho expenditure OF approx
mately $3.5S5, eco. 900 during the present
fiscal year, which began July 1. Last
year. for the same purpose, a total OF
$3,717 27i, ,3G2 90 was appropriated, the re-
duction thus being only about SlS2 600,
600. This represents reduction Of Cnly
thirteen days governmental spending as
the expenditures have been ayerr ging
S1O,O0o0O0 a day.
Dawes has stated that he proposes to
reduce the appropriations by 25 per
cent during the coming year, wh!ch
would effect a reduction Of approximately
nine hundred million dollars.
The total appropriations do not in
clude any appropriations nor the railroads.
which last year received SO0,000,000. SO
far no appropriation has been made for
the current year. but 1t is expected that

He recited the huge expenditures al.
ready made through the war risk bu-
reau for disabled soldiers and promised
more at a more ausplcious time
Three things are essential for return

/. Lower taxes.
2 RefuHding of the war debt
g. Adjustment OF foreign loans.
The overburdening of the Treasury
now means positive disaster in the years
Immediately before US, President Hard
ing warned.
"Merest prudence calls out in warn
ing"
He emphasized that Congress should
proceed on the tariff and tax bills, for
which the special session was called.
President Harding confessed "disap-
pointment' that so little had been done
toward reducing war time taxes.
He read his message to the Senate,
leaving the White House for the capitol
shortly after the Cabinet meeting.
Harding read his message deliberately,
finishing it at 2:2o to a burst of ap-
plause.
Sesnator Penrose, Pennsylvania, chair
man Of the finance committee, moved
commitment of the bonus bill to that
committee within two minutes of tbs
conclusion Of .Harding's address.

LONDON, July f2-Premier Lloyd

disarmament conference, it was Of
hcIalIy announced this evening.
Premier BRAND had already in
formally announced his intention Of
participating personally in the con-
ference and with the precedent set
10y Lloyd George it was believed that
Italy and Japan also may be repre-
ssnted by the heads Of their govern

Two of the four nations invited 10
participate - Great Britain and
France-had accepted his invitation.
OF the others, Italy was reported
TO be ready to announced her accept
ance, while Japan, who through the
pressure OF worldwide public opin.
ion, was believed to be sure to &C
cede regardless of. her individual
feeling.

known in Washington concerning the
real attitude Of the japanese people on
the question. Some japanese leaders

agreement but on the other hand the
