DAWES FIRST TASK
T0STOP BIG LEAKS
Watching Appropriations
Spent More important Than
Cutting Off Clerks.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Gen. Dawes. in charge of the budget
job. will try to establish definite
relationship between the income and
outgo of government funds. He asked
the government officers to meet him
in mass meeting today. That's only
u small part of the drive for economy.
The real trouble is something with
which the average government en-
ploye has little to do-namely. the
method by which Congress appro-
PIRATES money and fails to keep track
Of appropriations spent.
The biggest abuse in government eX-
, penditureS today is tine so-called re
volving fund" 1t grew up during the
war. but is the same in principle as
the practice of Congress in past years
Of authorizing specific appropriations
to be reimbursed by moneys received
from sales of government property
and supplies.
Automatic Increase Criticised.
This automatic increase of funds
available to government departments
without the necessity of reporting to
Congress has been severely criticised
by students of government economy.
Roth Secretaries Glass and Housto on of
| the Treasury Department attacked it.
and President Wilson gave special at
tention to the subject in his last mes
sage to Congress. recommending that
! Congress discontinue the practice.
The revolving fund was necessary
during the war, when it was desira BILE
to grant wide discretion. but since
| then it has developed into a conven-
! lent device for the spending of money
not specifically ordered by Congress-
1t works out this way: Supposing Con-
| gress has appropriated s100. 100000 run
ming expenses to the War Department.
The same act of Congress gives the War
Department the right to use such re-
Consequently. the $1o0.000.00 fund is
automatically kept intact. but what
actually has happened is that Congress
has indirectly given the War Depart
ment the right to spend $500. 900. 900. il

government property or unused supplies

MeiEhen Presents Case.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June ga speech by
Premier Meighen Of Canada on the
Anglo-Japanese treaty entirely oc-
Cupied this mornings session OF the
conference of imperial premiers. This
afternoon Premier Hughes of Aus
tralia will give his views.
Mr.. Meighen is understood to have
opposed a renewal of the treaty on
the ground that 1t already has
served its purpose. and to have strong
ly presented the case Of Canada
which is that everything possible
should be done for preservation and
improvement of the, good relations
between the United States and the
British empire.
Mr.. Meighen was accompanied by
Loring Christie. adviser to the
Dominion government on foreign af-
fairs. and Capt. Armstrong, his pri-
vate secretary. 1t is understood the
proposal was made that the question
of renewal of the treaty should be
postponed several months-in which
case it automatically would continue
in order to enable the Canadian and
Australian premiers to return home
to consult with their colleagues. and.
il necessary. to have referendums of
their people to uphold or reject the
proposals settled at the imperial con-
ference,

L. R. CHM GIVEN POST.
Made Assistant Controller General
Under Budget.

Lurtin r. CHM of Indiana has been
nominated By President Harding to
be assistant controller general Of the
United States under the provisions of
the new budget law.
Mr.. Ginn's appointment marks an
other promotion for man who has
spent practically all of his mature
life in the service of the govern
ment. He left his home at Middle
town. Ind. in 1884. to enter the Treas
ury Department as a clerk in connec-
tion with the Treasury accounting
system. Step after step he advanced
until he was made law clerk ir. the
office of the controller of the Treas
ury.
With the coming of the world war
and the NEEDY for Treasury represen-
tation overseas, Mr.. CHM was selected
as assistant controller of the Treasury
to serve with the expeditionary forces.
That work led to appointment as one
of the official representatives of the
Treasury in dealings with the foreign
powers When this work was COM
pleted last July he was appointed an
attorney for the controller.

Language Used in Amendment OF
Little Importance, Mr.. Harding
Saws in Letter.

1t is wholly desirable" to have the
expression of favorable opinion on
the part of Congress relating 10
world disarmament. "and 1t would
seem to me ample II it should be ex-
pressed in the broadest and most gen
eral terms" President Harding wrote
today to Representative Monoell OF

would read it to the House when tne
Borah disarmament amenomeht Mss
reached during consideration PROB
ably late today, of the conference re-
port on the naval bill. He has indi-
Gated that a substitute for the boran
proposal, probably the Porter amend
ment, would be offered.
Text of Letter.
The text of the Presidents commu-
nication follows:
There has come to my attention
the questions in disagreement De-
tween the two houses Of Congress on
the naval bill, and l understand they
are in process of adjustment, but that
some difficulty has been experienced
in arriving at a satisfactory agree
ment with regard to the language to
be used in expressing the favorable
attitude of the Congress toward ell
forts to secure international agree
ments for the limitation OF arma-
ments.
"A number of members of Congress
have been good enough to inquire as
to the form of expression on the part
of Congress which might seem most
advisable from an administrative
viewpoint.
Wording OF No Importance.
II have said to inquirers, as I am
now pleased to say to you. that 1t is
not of particular concern to the ad-
ministration what form the expression
of Congress shall take, though it is
most agreeable that Congress shall
express itself in favor of securing. II
possible. an international agreement
upon d program for the limitation OF
crmamentS.
Il think it has been pretty well un-
derStood that the administrative
branch of the government has already
been seeking information with regard
to the attitude of foreign nations on
the general subject of disarmament
These inquiries and negotiations will
be continued, and the time and man
ner in which the matter may be for
mally presented to foreign govern
ments can only be determined after
the fuller development of inquiries al
ready initiated.
1T is wholly desirable to have the
expression of favorable opinion on
the part of Congress relating to this
world question. and it would seem to
me ample if it should be expressed in
the broadest and most general terms.
IT am vastly more concerned with
the favorable attitude of the Congress
on, this question than 1 am as to the
form of expressing that attitude. You
may be sure that the executive will

to such expression as the members OF
the two houses of Congress find them
selves disposed to make

LONDON, June 20 canadian Press).
The Anglo-Japanese alliance is not
to be renewed in its present form. it
has already been made abundantly
clear. although the discussion of the
treaty by the conference Of British
premiers has just begun.
While Arthur ]. Balfour and Lord
Curzon, the only members of the con-
the subject, used due diplomatic eau
ton in their speeches. according to in
formation which may be regarded as
authoritative. they left clear impress
sion that while the British govern
ment would like to have some form Of
understanding with Japan 1t is not in
cllned to continue the present purely
military agreement.
1nasmuch, therefore. as Premier
Meighen of Canada and Premier Smuts
Of South Africa will strongly urge
against an alliance of any kind. but
will advocate British-American-
Japanese understanding instead, the
clear prospect is that If the alliance
Is renewed at all it will be little more
than a shadow of it's former self.
Premier Meighen prepared for to-
days conference a stated case against
the alliance which, it is understood,
will be circulated in the conference
