Although school authorities have
refrained from publicly expressing
their sentiments regarding the dras-
tic cut in the school budget, it Is
known that the slashing of the esti-
mates has deeply affected them. espe-
cially. in view of the fact that the
budget for the next fiscal year car
ried a building program designed pri-
marily to relieve the seriously over
crowded conditions in the high
schools. The pruning OF the esti-
mates makes the carrying out OF this
construction program impossible.

Of the schools. and will cite those
which cannot be provided on the re-
duced estimates. 1t also Will point
out that the original estimates. call
ing for $s.4oo.0oo. were not padded:

aries of the 2.200 teachers and meet
the maintenance expenses of the

Action Pending Inquiry Into

The United States consulate at

Department.. pending an investiga-
ton of the grounds on which the
British government based its action
in withdrawing the exeQuaturs it had

suit Mr.. Slater has been transferred

sulate. 1t Is declared, will depend on
whether the British governments ac-

and Brooke as individuals. or was an
official protest against policy of
the United States. II the British
objection was merely against in
is said that the matter can easily be
remedied by the transfer to the New
castle station Of consuls at other
posts, who are not Objectionable to
the British authorities.
As understood here, the British au-
thorities held that Consuls Slater and
Brooks had exceeded their official
duties in attempting to "coerce" Brit
ish subjects to patronize vessels of
the United States Shipping Board,
especially in the viseing Of the pass
ports Of prospective visitors to the
United States.
1t was said at the STATE Department
that 1t was the duty of American

whether the actions of the two on
cials were within the limits OF vf;1-
cial propriety. 1t, also was stated
that no question affecting the appli-
