the comptroller general who will
compare work needed with work
done and report waste; and the bur-

improving service to get better re-
suits for the money expended.
The budget director, according to
the Herald, will be under and an

BARUCH SAYS LIARS"

stigmatized as Glars" the persons
behind the attack on his. war record.
He says that from the time he be-
came a "$1 year" man until he left
his government office, he did not
participate in any gainful pursuit,
although he had opportunities to
make millions. The principal charges
of the whispering campaign" are
that Baruch fixed the price OF cop
per, while the war industries board
head, and that he secured an allow
ance of $15O,O0O for the economic
section of the peace conference.
Baruch was in charge of the econ
omic section.
Mr.. Baruch disposed of the copper
price charge by stating that the
price was fixed by committee ap-
pointed by President Wilson. With
regard to the item of $150,000, Ba-
ruch said that sum was allotted to
the economic section, but that less
than $4,000 was spent. The balance
of the sum was deposited with the
Department of State ,he said. Ba-
ruch in a letter to Senator Kenyon
asks him to help "still the tongues
of my traducers."

SENATE OLIGARCHIES
Republican factions have subdued
their differences rather we'll, but it is
observed that the political gunners
are already aiming at Secretary Of
State Hughes. The story goes that
the Foreign Relations Committee.
headed by Senator Lodge is seekin J
to "take over" control of internation-
al affairs. Senator Penrose in his
post-election statement, declared
that this policy would hereafter be
carried out by the United States
Senate. If Secretary Hughes heard
the warning it is plain that he did not
heed it, and his friends say that his
magnificent work in scoring one
point of triumph after another in
international matters, has filled the

Daniels and Baker out of business
had not President Wilson stood
stubbornly by them. Now there
are rumors that mysterious cam

Hughes and Hoover as the intended
victims. Just what objection can
be raised against Mr.. Hoover has
not yet appeared as clearly as in
the case against the Secretary of
State, whose appropriately with the
Senate is likely to increase. These
two Cabinet ministers have made a

lPOACHING ON SACRED
RESERVATIONS
Self constituted guardians of the
public interest in Washington are
always pointing out instances in
which they seek to prove that the
President is encroaching upon the
rights of Congress; or in which Con-
gress is interfering with the rights
of the Executive. Quite recently
the Senate unanimously asked the
President to invite the governments
of Great Britain and Japan to con-
fer with us upon disarmament. Ac-
cording. to Senator Borah disarma-
ment rests largely with the deci-
sions of these three governments,
because all of the rest of the world
has been put out of business by the
world war. The race is now on be-
tween Great Britain, Japan and
the United States to see who can
build the greatest navy. Certain
newspapers interpret the Senate
resolution as encroaching upon the
rights of he Executive. Undoubt-
eddy President Harding will be very
glad to have this expression from
the Senate, despite on the part of
the Senate to assume dictatorship
with regard to foreign affairs.

SOCIALIST PAPERS
RESTORED TO MAIL

Postmaster General Hays will dip
into government Treasury for an adj
ditional few thousand dollars as the
cost he believes, the department
should pay for the former Postmas-
ter General Burleson's illogical
policy of nonmailability in the case
of the New York Call and the Mil
waukee Leader. Hays has just an
nounced restoration of second class
mailing privileges to both papers,
withdrawn by Burleson during the
war.
Mr.. Hays will compute the refund
due the Call and the Leader from the
date of their application for the de-
MED second class postal privileges.
The refund will be the difference be-
tween second and third class rates
between August 1920 and this date.
Mr.. Hays bases his course on the
principal that the papers are en-
titled to the second class rates, if
mailable at all, and that the higher
rate was purely an arbitrary hard
ship.
