today on his way to Washington as
an adviser at the coming sessions Of

said.
The debt of France to America
now amounts to s3,300.000,0 600 but
it cannot be considered alone. he
said. I'VE must consider it as part

The Developments of the next few
days will determine whether the con-

the confiscated property. If they
admit the principle of restoration.
the details of a compromise can then

The day passed quietly at the shops.
only two shots were fired during

The question Of working with guards
and troops on duty was expected TO
be one of the matters taken up at to-
morrow's meeting.
Another issue TO he discussed will
be the alleged iisistence of the car
riers that members OF the big Four
do work regularly assigned to the
crafts now on strike.

that the members of one craft of work

the strike and that some already
were comforting with the system fed

President Pleads
For Strict Economy
During Coming Year

Washington. July 11.--Administra-
tive officers of the executive establish
ments of the government who were as
scmbled today for their third semi-an-
nual business meeting, were called
upon by President Harding for "the
utmost economy" Of expenditure dur
ing the current fiscal year and the use
of their pruning knives upon the es-
Inmates for the succeeding - months.
The president further urged ccono-
my by federal officials as an example
for the states and municipalities,
whose mounting debts he described as
a menace" unequalled in America to-
day.
For the fiscal year 1924 the presi-
dent announced. receipts are est lmated
at $3.19S. 100000. or approximately
100000 less than authorized expendi-
lures for the current fiscal year. I'VE
must keep constantly in mind he
said. that The probable receipts for
1924 will not permit us as liberal APP
preparations in 1928. IN that connec-
tion I may say frankly to you that |
will not send to Congress estimates ex-
cecding the probable receipts of the
government, and ! must warn you that
unless you use your pruning knives the
executives will be compelled 10 cut
deeply the estimates presented.
Our country is one Of the few in
he world which is now paying it's way
as it goes. and | must regard with dis
favor any tendency to interfere with
this condition or to increase taxes"
Also he told the meeting that no less
