This fine response to your request
from the heads of the departments
and Independent organizations and bu-
reau chiefs, incidental to your assump-
ton Of responsibility as the business
head Of governmental administration,
infers the existence In their minds of
three principles involving improve
ment In governmental business, which
should not be overlooked
First, that the business crganIza-
ton of government hereafter assumes
that the minimum amount Of money
to be expended In any fiscal year Is
not, of necessity, the sum appropri-
ated In advance by congress. but the
smallest amount upon which the bust
ness of the government can be efi-
ciently administered under the pro-
gram outlined by congress.
Second, that the minds Of the bust
ness administrators Of government
have been diverted from too easy
reliance upon the custom of deficiency
appropriations
Third, that where congress has d.
rected the expenditure Of certain sums
for specific purposes. an executive
pressure will now be exerted for more
efficient and economical administration
In order to produce greater result from
the given expenditure, and also wher-
ever possible, to complete the given
project for a less amount than the
total appropriated for the purpose"
The budget system was established
because of an acute public interest in
the expenditures of government, ac-
lively and continuously displayed by
the tax payers. 1t was established In
response to a public demand. The
house of representatives has changed
Its way OF appropriating money to con-
form to the budget system. II has
only one great appropriation commit
tee which authorizes all the eIpendi-
lures for the house. The senate has
not followed suit II this newly IN
stalled budget system Is TO be a sue

makes excellent silage; and when
ground into meal it is a good and
easily handled feed In addition to
those good qualities 1t Is OF great value
as a soil improyer. Attempts have
even been made to introduce 1t as a
human food and as q medicine. but II
cannot compete with other staples as
properties.
Although not detailed enough to
make laborious reading, each subject
from haymaking on through to alfalfa
meal manufacture, and a consideration
Of fake and fad alfalfa products, is
treated so fully as TO give the reader
a thorough understanding of the pos
sibillties Of this great crop Those
who are inclined to be too enthusiastic
over certain uses will find reason In
the collected experience Of many grow
ers and feeders to modify their views,
for alfalfa is not a panacea for all the
troubles of the farm and feedlot Con-
sideration Is given TO the needs of
Hairy cattle, beef cattle, hogs, sheep,
horses and poultry, and to the crop in
various forms, including hay. pasture,
silage. straw, soiling feed, tea and
meal.

BUDGET SYSTEM A START

The remedy Is already being applied
to remove some Of the conditions 1
have described. budget plan has
been put Into effect. A director OF the
budget, In the person Of Gen. Charles
G. Dawes. has been appointed to Of
fee. General Dawes is at work now
trying to find out In detail where the
money comes from which you pay to
run the government and where II goes
and how properly to apportion 1t
among the spending agencies Of the
government. He is just at the begin
ming of his big task, but the work has
begun. That Is the important thing.

vides for the presentation by the
President Of a regular and alternative
budget Of the United States to congress

which executive policy and pressure
Involving better business admfnistra-

first time. the heads Of departments
and Independent organizations and bu-
reau chiefs, and after announcing
government policy of economy and eff
fciency. directed that an immediate
attempt with the budget machinery be
made to reduce expenditures under the

The chief defects, or places where
waste is apparent in the conduct OF
the business of the government, that
/ have pointed out in these articles,
have been, first, the excessive proper
ton of the government income that
went for military expenditures sec
ond, the chaotic condition and lack
of adequate supervision and control
of expenditures, which have been in
part remedied by the introduction of
the budget system; and third, the hap
hazard organization of the govern
ment departments and the morgan
lied condition that prevailed in gov
eminent employment.

two Immediately preceding articles l
come now TO the matter OF reorganiza-
ton of the departments and the re-

on both OF these matters.

AMOUNT OF FOOD
SENT TO POLAND
Try The Associated Press. }

Warsaw, March 27.-It would take
freight train AZ miles long to carry
the American food distributed to hun
CRY Polish children since 1919, accord
ing to figures shown in the graphical
exposition given here by the American
relief administration. Large crowds
are visiting the exposition.
The exhibits show that 1,O72,1S4 tons
of food were given Polish children from
April. 1919, when the Hoover mission
began its work here to January l, last.
This supplied 67O,OOO,OOO meals, at an
actual cost of about two American cents
il meal. On account Of the enormous
need to be met. however, these rationS
eQhalled only about One-third Of the
food required by a normal child.
Tho money value OF this three-year
food distribution runs over $50 900, 900.
The Polish government supplied one
third of this, mostly in flour and other
produce.
On June l the American child-fecd-
ing operations will cease hut plans al
ready are made for their continuance
by the Poles.

Manila, p L.. March 27-The mis-
sion composed of members of the Phil
ippine legislature which 1t is proposed
to send to Washington to lay before the
president statement Of conditions
in the archipelago and to make a plea
for independence, should not be nam
pered by instructions, in the opinion
of Sergio Osmena. speaker of the house
of representatives. In statement he
says:
"The only instruction that may be
properly given to any mission that is
sent to the United States is to work for
the independence of the Philippines. No
detailed definition Of the work that
1t must do or of the policies that we
are to follow here is necessary. The
mission should adjust itself to cir
cumstances as they are in the United
States and get what it can. If we
send mission to the United States. for
instance. with instructions to work for
absolute independence. and it does not
get it. then comes disappointment"

N. E, CHURCH REACHES
HIGHEST MEMBERSHIP
Biggest Attendance Of Year
at Services Yes
terday.

The largest congregations of the yeal

vices yesterday, and Sunday school
attendance of 331, testified the effec-

ance of the church last year was 2G5.
At both cnurch services yesterday it
was necessary to open rear rooms of
the auditorium to accommodate the
congregations and the balcony was well
filled.
Newspaper advertisements, circular
letters to all members of the church
and personal invitations to those out

attendance at the Sunday services.
The church also has organized an
automobile brigade with J. h. Hughes
as Major General" Mrs. y. b. Trum-
bauer is chairman Of the Lookout COM
mittee." the purpose of which is to
provide transportation for those who
wish to attend church but have no way
of getting there.
Aged people or those who. for other
reasons, find it difficult to attend Sun
day services are asked to communicate
with Mrs. Trumbauer. who will give
their names to the auto brigade which
provides transportation.
A. w. Armstrong, chairman of the
committee, said today that
the church is especially proud of the
condition of its Sunday school. There
are plenty of rooms. he says. for the
various classes and the school also mas
a large supply of capable teachers.
Next Sunday evening the regular
musical service will be held.
This always provides n great treat in
a musical way. There will be a church
orchestra on hand and several vocal
numbers.
