PLEASE PRESIDENT
Believes Public Will Be Salts.
fled With Economies
Proposed.

After reviewing carefully the fig
ures contained in the tentative draft
of the budget of expenses for the
government for the next fiscal year,
President Harding is known to be
highly pleased by the progress made
in this work and to be convinced that
the American people will be satisfied
with the economies to be effected by
his administration.
COnfers With Dawes.
1t was made known at the White
House today that the President dis
cussed the budget for a number of
hours with Gen. Dawes, director of
the budget, who accompanied him on
the weekend cruise aboard the
Presidents yacht. the Mayflower
They went into much detail regard
ing the figures for the proposed cuts,
and, although no definite information
known, it was intimated that the
greatest saving will be made in the
proposed reduced expenses for the
War Department.
There was every evidence about the
White House that the administration
garding the reduction of governmental
expenses. In fact. the President and
his cabinet are known to be more de-
termined than ever to bring about the
necessary economy.
Believe In Action.
The administration has determined
that the only way to chop expenses
is to chop and not to talk about it, OF,
as one high official of the administra-
tion puts it, I'VE are going to make
the garment according to the size Of
the cloth, and we are going to do 1t
only one way. that is by chopping and
slashing everywhere possible"
1t has been pointed out that there
exists some reluctance on the part of
officials when it comes to making re-
ductions in their respective depart
ments, but these differences are being
smoothed over. and, according to the
White House opinion, there exists to-
day general degree Of cooperation
among the department heads.
Committee Work Pleases.
The administration also is pleased
with the progress being made by the
joint committee on reorganization of
the departments and bureaus. and it
expects complete tentative reports
within the next two or three weeks
which will suggest initial means of
reducing the annual running cost of
the government, principally by means
of consolidating bureaus or divisions
which are now duplicating work.
One of the problems of this work
before 1t will be in shape to place
before Congress for the necessary
legislation Is necessary for harmo-
nizing various departmental heads
who are necessarily opposing the con-
solidation Of their respective bureaus
with similar bureaus in another. de-
partment. However, the White House
anticipates no difficulty from this
quarter. ~
The progress being made by the new
Shipping Board is known to be highly
satisfactory to the President, and the
greatest optimism is expressed re-
garding the future outcome Of this
governmental agency.
