The Benevolent Autocrat of the Dress
Industry.

How n reporter of q newspaper
and the son of a rabbi became the
autocrat of the dress industry of
this country, doing a S1,o0o.oOo,o0o
business u year, and with trading
posts reaching all the way from
New York TO Alaska, is told in Popu-
lar Finance. Fully half million
persons are employed in the making
of apparel for the eternal feminine,
or in trying it on, or in selling 1t.
To those who cut and stitch and
sew, the industry pays each year at
least quarter of a billion dollars
In wages, exclusive Of salaries and
commissions Thirty thousand stores
look to this mighty commercialt en-
terprise for their stocks OF women's
wear. And over all this wide ela-
pire rules the comparatively youth
full David y. Mosessohn as supreme
arbiter. whose word is law and from
whose decision there is no appeal
Bankers, manufacturers. merchants
and laborerS all over the country
bow to his irretrieVable decisions.
At his nod business troubles cease,
contracts become DEGREES, and dis
putes treaties of peace.
David y. Mosessohn is the son or
n learned rabbi. He was brought to
Portland Ore. where he was edu-
Gated in the public schools. He

thereby contracted a malady trans
mitted by printers ink-journalism.
Both became reporters on the Oregon

law, in which their father joined
them, father and sons receiving
their diplomas at the same time.
Father and sons soon began to
look eastward, and moved to New
York, whittier they took with them
their. modest Jewish newspaper, the
Jewish Tribune. which. combining
with the Hebrew Standard became
one of the most popular Jewish pub
lfcationS in this country.
David n. Mosessohn is a scholar
as well as an organizer. His proud
est possession is his library of 5000
volumes, to which he often refers
for inspiration when fatigued with

Palestine and National Honor

Under this title, L. p. Hewitt, a dts
ringuished London lawyer. contributes
an article to the Jewish Chronicle of
London, England. He speaks of the
honorable obligation under which
Great Britain has placed itself to the
Jews by the Balfour declaration.
With the keen analytical sense of a
practical lawyer, he states that the
agreement into which England en-
tered with the Jewish people is not
only valid and binding, but cannot be
abrogated without dishonor of which
no Englishman would be proud He
shows that the terms of the mandate
which England accepted make it for
its aH-governing object the estab-
jfshment there of a national home for
the Jewish people, and his regret is
that, under anti-Semitic influence, the
natural meaning of the Balfour dec
iaration has been SO whitfield down as
to make it subject to all kinds of in
terpretationS.

Jews Celebrate Anniversary of H0l-

In common with their fellow citi-
zens, the Jews of Holland have joined
in celebration of the twenty fifth an
niversary of the Queen of Holland.
Jews everywhere else will desire to
join in this celebration, and surely In
association of the Jewish people with
Holland has been a notable one.
Dutch Jewry has produced great

almost equally great painter. 1t was

The beginnings of American Jewry
were likewise intimately connected

of what now comprises the United
States was a Dutch colony, and New
York was known as New Amsterdam

A test Of the success of q de.
mocracy is the capacity of the
great masses Of people occasionally
to become aroused over important,
but undramatic processes Of gov
ernment.
When a battle axe is figuratively
swung, as director of the budget
Herbert NJ. Lord is now doing,
there is ordinarily little emotional
interest in what is going on. Ad,
Justing the balance sheet Of a ma
ton is hardly a soul stirring proce-
dure.
+. A little more than two years ago
the United States set out upon the
adventure of applying the princi-
pies of business efficiency to Gov
ernment expenditures and has been
making noteworthy strides in cur
failing Federal extravaganza and
waste. The campaign of pruning.
however, goes on quietly, as the
public focuses it's attention on
more picturesque happenings.
Meantime crooked politicians who
thrive by granting special favors
to individuals and to localities
where they seek votes, find the
budget system a barrier to their
nefarious enterprises. An under
ground movement has been under.
way to wreck the new system, and
return to the old ways Of the pork
barrel, out of which each unscrupu-
lous politician could grab special
favors, irrespective of the national
good.
The destructive campaign was to
be centered against the rules of the
house of representatives, which, as
a supplement to the budget act,
provided for the Capitalization of
appropriation measures into the
hands Of one committee, instead of
eight. Under the new system there
IS one appropriation bill, instead of
fourteen as before.
The politicians attack was to be
concentrated first on the committee
system in the house and may still
be, although a very high official of
the Government told me that ne felt
confident that the direction Of at
tentton by the Hearst newspapers
TO the threatened destructive move
ment would head it off. Like the
house, the Senate more than two
years ago took the power to ap-
propriate money out Of the hands of
nine committees and put it into the
hands of one.
Lord to Present Figures.
At present the director of the
budget is going through the pain
full stage Of telling the various
executive department heads to re-
duce their estimates of expenditures
for the fiscal year, beginning July
l, 1924, which will be presented to
Congress In December. .---

in regulating his private expendi
lures.
The American people have had
two years experience with q Fed
eral budget. They would not toler-
ate return to the old system
Of appropfiating and expending
public funds. The wonder now is
that the United States Government,
the biggest business concern In
America, could have operated as
long as 1t did without -budgetary
system. a
The reduction in the routine
public expenditures in the last two
ears exceeded $4,000, 900 900. There
s not the least doubt that this
remarkable achievement, unparallel-
I'D by any other country in the
world. was made possible by the
udget system.
II rigid public economy IL to con.
inue the budget system must be
maintained and observed both In
letter and in spirit. There ik
greater need for an orderly handling
of our public funds today than ever
before in our national history. A
few years ago the country was
had a "billion-doIlar Congress" To-
day the interest on our public debt
amounts to more than q billion dol
lars. One.fifth OF our appropria-
tions are to sustain the veterans
bureau, an institution made neces-
sary by the world war, and which
requires q half a billion dollars an
nually for its maintenance.
Many other items might be cited
to show that never again will this
nation be able to return to pre.War
level of public expenditures. There
fore, 1t is necessary that every ap-
preparation requested be carefully
scrutinized and justified by the prirt-
ciples Of a budget system, and
every appropriation made be ex-
pended in compliance with its pro-
visions.
Wilson Vetoed Bill.
The Republican Congress, elected
in 1918, passed a Federal BUDGET
law which was vetoed by President
Wilson. One Of the first acts of
the Republican Congress elected i'll
1920 was the re-enactment of this
law. 1t was promptly signed by
President Harding and both branches
OF government under Republican
control worked speedily and nar-
moniously to erect the budget bu-
reau machinery in time to have 1t
in operation by the beginning Of
the fiscal year, July /, 1921. Il
Therefore, 1T Is not even probable
that so long as Republicans remain
in control OF the Congress and the
executive departments of the gov
ernn1ent there will be any departure
from the businesslike procedure of
handling our public funds by a
budget system.

Others contend that If Zev attempts
to cut out the entire pace over the
mile and three quarters he will be
a beaten horse.
Then there are others who say
that Hildreth will order Sande to
take the lead and hold it at all
costs and let Zev Idle out in
