BY dint of ruthless economies and
shreWd reorganization of depart

trify the country by reporting
wholly unexpected surplus of f10O.-

hit by recommending drastic tax re-
auctions, mainly on beer and incomes,
which he found possible even while
providing for the heavy annual pay
ment he had agreed to make on ac-
count of the American debt. A sue
cessful budget is additionally the
symbol of a promising career for

The improvement in the external
condition of Russia generally. and of
Moscow and Petrograd in particU-
lar, during the last eighteen months
has been great. When / arrived here
in the autumn of 1921 Moscow was
a city of tragic gloom. Most Of the
shops were closed and the streets
were incredibly shabby. Ruins of
burnt-out houses were prominent
landmarks and there were many va
cant spaces where wooden tenements
had been torn down for fuel. The
dress Of the people was mostly fit
for the ragbag. The peoples minds
were still under the shadow of the
terror. Nearly all were employed in
government departments or works
and lived on government rations. in
which very black bread. potato soup
of Incredible nastiness and herring
soup played large part. The
streets were in such a bad condition
that to walk down them after dark
was perilous adventure.
People FIRST Doubted the Change.
For more than three years all pri
vate enterprise had been forbidden
and a rigid communism had been en-
forced. Communism in practice had
been SO notorious an economic failure.

Now the Army has taken up
'don'ts." At the suggestion of Sec
rotary Weeks. War Department Of
fcials are working out a chart of
'don'ts" based on war experience.
This chart is being handled by those
charged with drawing up industrial
mobilization plans and IL will set
forth those things d. e during the
war which should not be done in
future war emergency.
The Army is taking a big lesson
from mistakes. Men who handled
supply and equipment problems dur
ing the war and who are now in
civil life are coming to the front
with suggestions for changes which
will annihilate the chances of max
ing again the same errors.
Assistant Secretary Davis. who has
charge of this phase of War Depart
ment planning, recently wrote num-
Der of men who saw service on the
War Industries Board, the priorities
board and similar agencies in war
in touch with war activities that
proved non advantageous.
Confers With Baruch.
Il am writing TO ask if you would
be kind enough to give us the benefit
of your observation as to errors that
were committed or as to things which
were omitted the letter said. which
ought to be foreseen in order to make
our industrial effort in another war
more harmonious and effective"
Among those whom Mr.. Davis
wrote and with whom important con-
ferences have been held at the War
Baruch, who was chairman of the
War Industries Board: Alex Legge
of the International Harvester Com
pany. vice chairman, and Leland l.
Summers of New York, who served
as chairman of the foreign mission
of the board. Within the last week
also Charles F. c. Stout of Philadel-
phia. who headed the hides and Ieath-
err section of the board. and Freder-
lex Darlington of the power section
of their visits. it is stated, construc-
tive suggestions materialized.
For Centralized Control.
Mr. Stout pointed out that as to
leather requirements there should be
devised a definite system OF working
up sch edules as far ahead as possible
and that a plan of centralized control
was necessary. AS to power, Mr..
Darlington drew attention to the
value of the present commercial tend
ency toward centralized power sta
tions, quickly susceptible of expan-
sion, and to the movement to con-
meet various power systems. making
surplus power of one available to
meet a shortage in another
Such development, it was pointed
out, would permit applicat ton of war
industrial loads within any given
power district, so that housing, la
Dor and transportation factors could
control the location of new plants
rather than availability of power.
In all, Secretary Davis has been in
personal touch with about thirty in
tlustrial leaders who played important
