NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE THINKS TRUTH SHOULD BE KNOWN
 IN PRESENT NATIONAL EMERGENCY

President to s217.o76.z42-the Presi- dents own figures The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Garner) who has wide knowledge of revenue matters, says in his judgment it will be six or eight hundred millions. and this may be true by the time Congress gets through making deficiency appropri- ations and new commitments on the treasury.
 q wish to say to my friend from New York (Mr. Snyder) that we are not going to get very far in the prac- tice of economy if the House con tinues to pass bills. increasing sal aries in one bureav of the government | to the extent of s447,74c, as it did this morning. (Postoffice appropriation biIi)
 Members of this Congress cannot afford to continue to make new com mitments and thereby increase the great burden now resting on the peo- pie. (Applause). And yet the re- publican majority continues to do so. And let me say, further that there Is this increase of estimates despite the fact that. hundreds of millions of it are for supplies. such as coal, furni- ture, bookcases, stationery, printing and the like. which everyone figures will be reduced 15 to 25 per cent in 1923 from prices paid early in 1922 If this is considered there is no way to determine just in what sum the President proposed to increase the ap- propriations for 1923.
 The people were promised there would be downward cut in appro- priations. If the President should have his way. the result will be an enormous increase and our govern ment will have to borrow money to meet it's ordinary expenses in peace times-a condition which no one wilt defend"

She has seen his name on the passenger list She has ins her possession a ring be- longing to Reggie Van lyle, man about-town." to whom she has lent money with the ring as security.
 Camille turned round haughtily.
 Then her expression altered, soft ening a little. For the owner of the voice was tall thin, kindly looking man in the uniform of ships off, cer with red braid round his cuffs and g-ay threads in his well-brushed d hair
 Then why do you leave it7" asked Camille, thoughtlessly. He smiled rather, wanly at her. q suppose I'm a rolling stone. Re- 1 sides, one must make a living. There are too many like me in England better than me-" he added, with a sigh.
 Camille knit her brows. What did he mean?
 I'm the ships doctor" he ex- plained. Twice I've tried to build up a decent practice in London. and l failed. Anyhow,"-more brightly-"I love the sea. and sailing into ports and queer corners of the globe has always fascinated me" Camille was interested. This was we'll bred, charming man. He had history. too, and that fact did not decrease her interest.
 q haven't travelled great deal ex- cept on the continent, and not even much of that. This is my first trip to South Africa she confided.
