WAR EXPENSES CUT
Representative Fess Said Many
Important Interests Would
Demand More Money

Washington, Nov 26.-The contem-
plated saving of several hundred mil
lion of dollars through the limitation
of ornaments will result in hundreds
of attempted raids on the United
States treasury with freak Legislation,
said Representative Fess, chairman
of the Republican congressional COM
mittee, in statement today.
Congress will have to be constant
ly on its guard to forestall in its in
cipiency freak legislation aimed at
the funds saved by the administra-
tion's disarmament policy" he said.
From everywhere will come demands
for a slice of money to be saved
which would not save the federal gov
ernment anything but only divert its
present expenditures" k'
THE fact that 81 per cent of the
total federal revenue is now being
expended for wars that are past will
remain unchanged for some time" he
explained. THE 23 per cent that now
goes for future wars will be curtailed
we hope but in no way will make
available large sums for any pur-
pose"
Representative Fess, who is chair
man of the house committee ON edu-
cation. said the records showed that
less than one and one-hundredth per
cent of the federal appropriations
went for educational purposes.
AN ever-growing popular demand
for greater national interest in edu-
cation, the most important features
of which is the physical education OF
the coming generation, demands frst
call on our resources" said Rep.
