abolish the budget system, and re-
turn to the old pork barrel methods
Of Government expenditures.
Since the introduction Of the Fed
eral budget by the late President
Harding. the Federal finances of
the country have for the first time
been economically and scientifically
administered.
Budget IS Model.
The national budget has been
taken as a model by many OF the
States and cities, and thus its bene-
fit has been multiplied.
It will be a surprise and a disap-
pointment to me If there is any
chance of Congress throwing over
such a progressive and universally
beneficial system as the new Fed
eral budget.
AS we'll talk Of abolishing the civil
service or the customs organization.
Points Out Economy.
Perhaps the thing which appeals
most strongly to the people today
Is the fact that, under the budget,
Federal expenditures have been re-
duced $500, 100000 as g result Of
which consideration is being given
to reduction of taxes.

ARE WORST
PROBLEM
Asst. Atty. Gen. WiIIebrandt So
Says, Telling Of Dry Law
Enforcement.
By III. X. REYNOLDS,
International News Service.

Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, the
Assistant Attorney General in
charge of prohibition enforce
.ment, declared today in a report
to Attorney General Daugherty
that sea-going rum running re-
mains the greatest single enforce
ment problem which the Federal
Government has to face, and adj
mitted that no accurate approx
nation could be made of the vast
amount of liquor struggled into
the United States each year.
Greatest Criminal Problem.
'"The liquor smuggling business II
the biggest criminal problem the
United States has ever faced on the
high seas" Mrs. Willebrandt said.
"The Coast Guard is our police
force within our territorial waters,
and is assisted by the customs Of
ficers and the prohibition unit of
the. Treasury Department, and the
United States marshals and their
deputies of the Department Of JUS
tice in the coastal States.
1.-THE Coast Guard is the only force
having equipment to deal with
smuggling on the high seas and OBJ
serVation is convincing that its
equipment is not sufficient to sup
press it along our Atlantic and
Pacific coast lines"
After stating that it was impossi.
BILE to estimate the amount of liquor
struggled into the United States,
Mrs. Withdrawals report called at
tention to the liquor exports from
Nassau, in the Bahamas, to this
country during the past fiscal year.
These exports reached a total Of ST.
O59 ,294.
Nassau's Profits Huge.
1.-THE importations of liquor to
Nassau for the same period" Mrs.
Willebrandt said, amounted in value
to approximately $4,500.000, the diff
ference in the figures representing
the bootleggers' profits as a result
of operations carried on through this
one West Indian port
With reference to the Daugherty
ruling that foreign vessels may not
carry liquor within the American
three-mile limit, the report cites a
number Of instances where foreign
registered vessels have been seized
and libeled and the officers and
crews indicted. Cases against nine
such vessels are now pending in the
courts.
Another problem discussed by
Mrs. Willebrandt was the problem
rof keeping at a minimum the stor-
age charges for liquor, automobiles
and other property seized by the
Government.
These charges amounted to $780,.
900 last year, and the Department
is insisting that United States at.

as possible.

SANS CUSTOMERS

Your ~poeketbook eventually may be affected by this very
important business development: The tide OF foreign trade
United States. That's how the economists express it. In
simpler words, our country is now buying more from foreign
countries than it is selling to them.
In March, the latest month fully reported to the govern
mont, our exports totaled about BAL million dollars. That's
what we sold to other countries. In the same. month we
bought Gmported) 402 million dollars worth of goods.
This means that we are "out" 81 million dollars for March
foreign trade. April will show another loss. And it is not
improbable that the loss will become chronic despite any
thing that may be done to attempt to regain and hold the
big trade lead we built up during the war.
Our excess of imports over exports will soon become a
political bone of controversy fl t continues. Nothing peases
the average national politician more than to be able to shad-
ow-box with the tariff.
To reason accurately on the subject, we must remember
this:
Since the beginning of the war, we have loaned foreign
countries particularly Europe, billions of dollars. 1t natur-
ally was quite easy TO build up a tremendous export business
when we were willing to extend tremendous credlts-sup-
ply our customers with foreign money for buying.
We now have about half of the worlds gold. There isn't
enough gold left in Europe to pay us even 30 cents on the
dollar, of what they owe us.
Any child with a fair knowledge of simple arithmetic can
see, therefore, that the only way We can get back the money
We loaned to foreign countries is to let them pay us in goods
-materials-import more than We export.
It's a simple matter Of merchandising. And any cross
roads s~torekeeper knows that it doesn't do him any good to
have an enormous business unless he gets paid for it. There
is a limit to charge accounts in foreign trade, the same as
The London banker, F. C. Goodenough, recently told the
American Bankers Association that, on account of tariff
bars, Great Britain could pay her debt to America only by
exporting from Canada Or other British possessions raw ma
terial or supplies acceptable to the United States.
1t doesn't matter much where the stuff comes from, but
Americans soon will have to decide this:
Shall we go ahead doing foreign business on credit and
supplying customers with money to buy from us9 Or should
we be content to import more than We export, as the only
possible way to get paid for what we have already soldf
Talk about being between the devil and the deep sea!

and the girl who has taken charge

Several of the older members of
DR.. Anderson's Junior church have
announced a desire to become med
zeal missionaries. and they are PLAN
ming their school courses with this
end in view.
The chief difficulty of a junior
church is the usual difficulty of any
organization composed of boys and
girls of different ages. The nine
year-olds are proud to join with the
older members, but each older
group is apt to feel that anything
suitable for younger children is too
simple for it. To interest an audience
of this sort without getting beyond
the understanding of the younger
members, or without boring the ad-
olescents is a serious proposition
for any preacher. That DR.. Anderson
manages to maintain this delicate
balance successfully is indicated by
the fact that a good many boys and
girls who have o%utgrown the junior
church age continue to take an in
terest in the affairs of the organic
alton.
The junior church is only one Of
the rather unusual features of the
Presidents church. This, church is
n of the largest in Washington. 1t
has a membership of about 1900
and a Sunday School of $500. One
of its Sunday School classes boasts
an enrolment of nearly 1000 young
women, mostly employees. pd MS
women, mostly government employ
ees.
Every Sunday the church con-
ducts Chinese church services which
are attended by 200 Orientals, and
a service for deaf mutes, at which
the sermon is preached by a deaf
mute. Babies are taken care Of dur
ing services in a nursery, and young
children are told stories in another
group. Yet with all this segregation
any one has to arise early of a Sun
day morning il he is possessed Of
the desire to attend worship in the
