the War and Navy departments, the
Executive and the state Department, but
the greatest cut in outlay was on the
purchase Of obligations OF foreign Gov
ernments. which Is the heading for car
ryiag the credits paid out to the Allies.
Expenditures by the War Department
for the frst eight months OF the present
fiscal year were $3.50. 000. 900. compared
with s1,222, 900, 900 for the same period
last year Expenditures by the i'resi-
dent dropped from 100000 to less than
half a million. and those by the State
Department from nine and a half to fve
and a half million. Navy expenditures
decreased from s565, 100000 to S44+,-
000.o0
Shipping Board expenditures for the
period dropped from S394.0o0,000 to
S6s, 900, 900. but, as was explained. the
board spent Its own funds instead of
drawing from the Treasury, and these
are not shown In the Treasury figures.
The Treasury Department spent $780,
900, 900 In the first eight months OF this
year as compared with s220, 100000 for
the same period last year. but this was
due to increased interest on the pubic
debt and expenditures for internal rev.
enue organization for tax collection and
prohibition enforcement.
With ordinary peace time operations
costing more when other costs are going
down there is little hope of getting any
where near pre-war basis OF Govern
ment expenditures without general re-
organization, consolidation of bureaus
and cutting OF forces Senator Smoot 10
prepared to cut 20. employees from
the Government payroll, which Is still
greatly swollen as a result OF the war
The force OF workers in Washington has
been cut in six months by something like
5000, but the number. 10000, Is still
regarded as excessive. The cut contem-
plated by Senator Smoot. however. ex-
tends to forces throughout the nation.
