both nations understood the temper OF
the American Congress practically as
we'll as President Harding himself.
Despite the strategic disadvantages of
the situation, President Harding called
the conference, making it rather clear
in advance that the Pacific and Far
Eastern questions must be settled if
limita tion.
And when the conference, after some
three months deliberation, adjourned
last month, more than the most opti-
mistic statesmen had hoped had been
accomplished.
The four-power treaty affecting the
Western Pacific is virtually an expan-
sion of the old Bran "breathing spell'
treaty idea. While there is no promise
to use force, there is the promise, made
by the four nations, United States
Britain, France and Japan, to consult
over any controversy which may arise
in that part Of the world. The general
impression, even of the most cynical
diplomats, is that it makes it practi-
cally impossible for any war to arise

to any difference in the Western

by Indian runners. On that he trav-

the Madeira-it really is on the Benz,
d fork-and there were eighteen more
falls below this. At Riberalta, just
above the Esperanza, there is city.
When the explorer was there in the

the fall and then boarded a railroad
that parallels the course of the stream

whole days train ride, at the end of

Treaty it is better understood here.
The domestic situation, for accurate
apprsisement, should be divided into
two parts, one affecting purely the ad-
ninistrstive end, and the other having
to do with legislation.
One thing cannot be said too strong
" in favor of both, and that is. there

! Estimates made by Representative
Fess, of Ohio, are that the cost of con-
ductlng the government in the year
1922 will be $4,000, ,000, 900, as against
100000 for 1921, $500 ,ooo, 900
for 1920 and s1s 900, 100000 for 1919.
Madden Explains
Cut in Appropriations
This idea is elaborated a little by
Chairman Madden, of the House Ap-
propriations Committee, in the follow
ing statement:
The appropriations for 1922 were
S4,o65, 100000, and the estimates were
$500, 100000, showing an approximate
reduction of $1,000, 100000. These es-
Inmates were submitted by a Demo
cratic Administration and the appropri-
ations were made by Republican Con-
gress. The estimates for the fiscal
year 1923, which begins July next, sub
mitted by the present Administration
are $3,853, 100000. 1t is too early 10
say how much the appropriations will
be, but estimate them at $4,000 ,o00,-
0O0. Each of these figures include the
postoftice cost, which amounts 10 $780,
100000 year.
There are now three fixed items of
charges approaching s2,0oo,oOc,OOO
which did not exist before the war, as
follows: s975,ooo,o0o interest en- the
public debt, 1881 100000 sinking fund,
and approximately S5o0,000,o for the
cost of the Veterans Bureau in connec-
/ tion with the care of the wounded SOL
dlers. There are other items like the
shipping industry and increased outlay
Tor law enforcement to be added to
these three. 1t will be seen that these
three liked charges cannot be elimin-
ated, so we begin to make provision for
the operation of the government after
! VIC cease providing these two billion of
liked charges created by the war.
IF yousdeduct the two billions from
the 50, o0O.O00,000, which l estimate
will be the aggregate of the appropria.
tions for 1923, it will be seen that we
have only $1,500,0O0,e0O for the con-
duct OF every activity of the govern.
ment,. including the army and navy
! which is only s25O,OOo,ooo more thai
the cost of the government before the
war, and Sl50,0OO,O0o of this is repre-
sented in the increased volume of busi-
ness done by the Postofice Department,
so that when we take the S250,000,000
and deduct the increased volume Of
postal business, s15o,00o,ooo, we will
only be as low as the people Of the
United States can expect the govern
ment to be conducted.
