JAPANESE PREMIER
VOICES GRATITUDE
Message to Hughes Ex-
presses Appreciation of
Mikado ndNation.

Secretary Hughes has received,
through Ambassador Hanihara, a
message from Count Yamomoto, prime
minister of Japan, expressing the
gratitude of Japan for this precious
gift of American sympathy" which
he declares cannot but serve the
peace of the world in drawing still
closer the bond of friendship and trust
between the two countries"
"At time when Japan was making
her best endeavors to follow the let
ter and spirit of the Versailles treaty
ana the Washington treaties, which,
we believe, have laid the foundation
OF world peace and will greatly pro-
mote human welfare" the prime min
lister said. the empire was visited by
most appalling disaster, in which
all the elements combined.
In this hour of deep grief and an
xlety, felt alike by the emperor and
all his subjects. the President of the
United States issued a proclamation
urging the American people to come
to the aid of the stricken people of
Japan and designating the American
Red Cross to administer the relief
work. Then the commander of the
American Asiatic fleet lost no time
in dispatching the ships under his
and offered the services of the entire
fleet for the immediate relief of the
sufferers. Some of these vessels have
already arrived in the harbor of Yo-
kohama. AT the same time the Phil
ippine government sent transports
loaded with full Cargoes for the re-
lief
In the midst of the bewildering
devastation American Ambassador
Woods, together with the staff of en-
bassy and Americans resident in
Japan, are helping the relief work
with a marvellous spirit of self-sac-
rifice, in spite of the fact that the
embassy itself was destroyed by fire.
Causes Deep Gratitude.
The report of these spontaneous
and prompt measures taken by the
President. the government and peo-
pie of the United States, is creating a
profound impression in the grateful
hearts of suffering Japan.
With these facts in mind, / desire
nese government their most heartfelt
and at the same time to convey to
United States the deep sense of graft
tude of my sovereign and of the en-
tire nation of Japan for this noble
manifestation of a sincere and gem
erous sympathy. / am happy in be-
lieving that this precious gift of
American sympathy in the hour OF
greatest trial for the Japanese ma
tion cannot but serve the peace of
the world, in drawing still closer the
bond of friendship and trust between
the two countries"

LORD WARNS j. S.
EXPENSE TOO HIGH.
First Two Months 0utgo In
dicate Need of Economy,
Says Budget Director.

Director Lord of the bureau of the
budget. in a statement issued today
upon his return from vacation, re-
viewed the income and expenditures
Of the government for the first two
months OF the new fiscal year, and
warned that even greater economy
must be expected of the departments
than had prevailed so far.
His statement in part follows:
Receipts totaling more than SAL
100000 have exceeded those for the
corresponding period of the prior MS
cal year by about $19,500,000 This
does,not indicate, however, a continu-
ing increase for the whole fiscal year,
since account has to be taken of the
fact that under certain headings
such as income and profits tax. re-
ceipts do not accrue in approximate
ly even monthly amounts. The rec
ord for the first two months sub
stantially supports the June 80 es-
innate of receipts for the fiscal year
1924.
h One Reduction Noted.
with regard to expenditures, the
item of general expenditures which
covers ordinary departmental cash
Withdrawals, is approximately $322,-
600. 900, and is $9,00o.000 less for the
first two months of the current nscal
year than for the corresponding
period of the prior fiscal year In
cluded in this amount is $5.000,000
advanced to intermediate credit banks
for which no expenditures was made
during the same period last year, so
that q comparison on the same basis
shows a reduction of $14,000,OO0 this
year for the two months in question.
While this is a substantial re-
duction, Gen. Lord states that it does
not represent rate OF reduction
which is satisfactory when consid-
cred in the light of the administra-
tioh program, which Is to keep all
expenditures for the current fiscal
year within $4,000, 100000. exclusive
of public debt redemptions and postal
expenditures.
Deeper Cuts Expected.
This program necessitates a
greater reduction in routine depart
Gated by the rate which obtained for
July and August.
"A total reduction of sl62, 100000 in
expenditure below the estimates fur
nished by the various departments
and establishments is to be accom-
plished during the current fiscal year,
and under the item of general ex-
pendttures' most Of this reduction
must be effected.
"A grand total of expenditures
chargeable against Ordinary receipts
for the current fiscal year of more
than S476,000.000 exceeds the CORES
ponding total for the fiscal year 1923
by S29. 500,0 600. but this is more than
offset by the fact that public debt
retirements have been more than
S66.000,000 up to August 81 of this
year, while for the corresponding
period of last year little more than
100000 was so expended"
