Hess, mo have we ever heard of any claim of breach of con tact having been made. formally or Informally. We are, therefore. ex- ceedingy gratined that the United States courts have seen fit to protect the interests of the Mexican govern ment by setting aside the attempted service in this matter of Finance Min ister de Ia Huerta.

 When the Mexican government i several months ago brought suit for $50o,000 damages for breach of con- tract against an American concern for alleged failure to deliver submarines | suit was thrown out on the ground ttat as an unrecognized government Mexico had no standing in the courts of the United States.
 Mir.

This contract. 1t was stated, was later re- pudiated and the action was for dam- ages by reason of the repudiation, or for commissions which would have been due had the contract been car- | ried through.
 Afidavits of Mir. Hess and Barthol- omew Carba1al showed that the con- | tract was discussed by Karfka with the Treasurer General of Mexico, an official corresponding to the Treas urer of the United States and that an entirely different position was held

mittee. who in a formal statement
voiced the fear" that Mr.. Harding
had been SO absorbed in other mat
tsrs that he was not conversant
with the existing situation" in gov
ernment finances.
Points Out Requests.
According to the press" Mr.,
Byrnes' statement said, "a direct saw
ing of s32.0O0.O00 and an indirect saw
ing Of more than $104,000.000 had
been accomplished in less than six
months The fact is that as against
this alleged saving. the President. at
the instance of the budget bureau,
has recently submitted requests for
additional appropriations as deficien-
cies. amounting to s1s0.7O4.2S6, and
within a few days the Congress will
commence considera tion of another
deficiency bill to take care of this
shortage in funds. This amount is
in addition to the urgent deficiency
bill appropriating $50,556,222, and the
first deficiency bill appropriating
$1O5,277.443. If the $1SO.704.2S6 now
asked by the President is granted, 1t
will make the total deficiencies to
date s336,537.953.
Il rejoice that the President reiter-
ated his opposition to deficiencies, be-
cause hesitate to think what amount
would be requested if he were not
opposed to deficiencies"
Only Postponed. He Says.
Representative Byrnes said that If
the amounts mentioned had been
saved the Treasury would show It.
He declared that no such showing,
however, had been made and added:
Il fear the reason why it is not
done is that the alleged savings in
most instances consist only in the
postponement of actual expenditures
until the next fiscal year."
Mr.. Byrnes declared that the sup
Elemental estimates for the next fis-
cal year, amounting to $80.0s3.220,
added to the total amount requested
for the fiscal year 1923, would make
the total $109.296,365 more than tie
