PORT CHANGES FAVORED.
Chamber of Commerce Urges Stand
ardized Facilities.

Standardization Of port facilities 10
advocated by American delegates for
discussion at the first annual meeting
of the International Chamber of COM
merce, now in session in London. Set
ting forth its reasons for advocating
such Standardization. the American
committee on port facilities says:
"A general and complete Standard
sation of those physical elements
which in the aggregate constitute the
facilities of a port is impracticable.
Differences in conditions, some Of
them natural and others fixed by
custom long established. impose limi-
tations upon Standardization which.
In the near future at least, are prob
ably insurmountable. Nevertheless.
the committee believes that great
economic benefits will result II the
improvement of port facilities At
home and abroad can be carried on in
the future with the aim Of attaining.
wherever practicable. uniformity of
design, equipment and practice. To-
ward this attainment the committee
believes the International Chamber
Of Commerce can largely contribute"

should amount to that much. What may
be true of the War Department Is true
Of other departments Of the government
Another menace to economy IS IN
the handling of government lawsuits.
Congress always hesitates to authol
ize the expenditure OF large sums OF
money for legal talent. Yet the law
yers for the claimants usually get Dig
fees, ranging all the way from $4,000
to 100000 Such fees on the side OF
the government are unknown. The
government. therefore. is frequently
outwitted and must pay millions OF
dollars in judgments simply because
it will not spend the relatively small
sums to win lawsuits.
Another factor in the same sltoa-
ton is the tendency to ignore the OUT
come of government lawsuits because
Congress always appropriates money
for the payment of judgments.
Thus a department officer doesn
feel that the judgment must be PAID
out Of his own appropriation for TINS
year Usually the lawsuits take years
to settle in the courts. Congress mas
not insisted that any special sums
be set aside by any department 70

Indeed. it has happened in certain
cases that certain department set

that was a fair price. The courts have
since decided that IS per cent wasn't
enough. Congress has had to make
good the balance.

to bad accounting and the vague and

Problems like these will engage the
mind of Gen. Dawes when he gets
deep into his job far more than the
salaries of government clerks. Mil.
lions of dollars are spent annually for
river and harbor works and construc-
ton projects in which constant ad-
justment must be made between
money authorized III one FISCAL year,
but for one reason or another is un-
expended. and sums authorized the
next year for the same general OBJ
ject without taking into account a
surplus that may have been available
from previous years. Government
economy is as much a matter Of good
bookkeeping as watchfulness by Con-
gross of expenditures. There is very
little dishonesty in the whole busi-
ness, as the records Of the government
detective agencies will show. but the
money spent as q result of careless
ness and inefficie ency is astonishingly
large. Gen. Dawes may not be popu-
lar with the rank and file Of govern
ment officials when he gets through.
but he has blanket authority from
President Harding to go ahead. and
the executive will support him un-
flinchingly.

Senator Harrison said that he had
called up several heads of depart
ments on the telephone today and had
been informed by them that they
we're not being guided by the appor-
tionment law in making dismissals.
From this Senator Harrison said he
judged that the matter had not been
taken up with department heads by
President Harding. although the
President hatH been requested by
members Of the civil service commit

Many of the states are below their
quotas in the list Of civil service en-
