White House Callers Cannot
Reconcile Reasons Given
With Recent Facts

Why the Shipping Board In
vestigation Committee junket to
European ports?
White House visitors are ask
ing the question.
They find it hard to reconcile
the reasons given for the six
weeks sightseeing tour Of Eu-
rope for the Congressman COM
posing the committee, under the
chaperonage of officials Of the
Shipping Board and of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, with
recent developments.
Lacked Funds for Reports.
A few days ago, when the com.
mittee asked for special reports, 1t
was informed by the Shipping
Board officials that it would be
impossible to get out the reports
as no funds were available to meet
the expenses Of preparing them.
Yet funds can be found, 1t IL
insisted, for a summers trip abroad
under the supervision of Shipping
Board officials, and the invegtigat-
ing committee IL dated UP to sail
from New York on the George
Washington July 4.
During the summer all investiga-
ton into the operations Of the
Shipping Board will be discontinued.
Later a subcommittee will be
named to continue the probe, 1t il
promised, and will procede to func.
ton until Congress reconvenes in
December. Vice-chairman Piummer,
1t ts announced, has been selected
to chaperone the Congressmen, out
he will be assisted by other Off.
Gals OF the Shipping Board and
the Emergency Fleet corporation.
Quotes Times Article.
1t strikes me that only . short
ume ago there appear in The
washington Times an article sug.
gestlng that a Conscience Fund be
sctarted to aid In financing the IN.
vestigation Of the Shipping Board.
Tnat was when it was learned the
board had no funds for providing
the investigating committee with
special reports" said q White House
caller today. The article indicated
that fund Of several millions of
dollars could be accumulated in that
way II a few Of the concerns, in.
dividuals and corporations, admit.

through receiving overcharges, were
TO contribute one per cent of what
they had grated to the fund. It
created a nasty stencil. and was
commented on in shipping circles
generally. Now comes this junket-
Ing party, composed of the COM
mittee, sailing under the supervision
OF Shipping Board officials, pre-.
sumably to determine whether It is
practical to establish American
owned fueling stations in foreign
ports.
What the public expects Of that
investigating committee is that II
Will get busy with the irregularities
practiced by the Shipping Board, its
OFFICIALS, and under its sanction, II
they can be established, and that
those who profited by them be
forced to disgorge, go to Jail, or be
punished in other ways.

the District commissioner nave
It entirely within their power 70
make the money available to these
District employees Immediately, pro-
vided the Budget Bureau and Presi-
dent Coolidge support them in the
procedure that has been outlined,
1t is said.
This procedure is as follows:
The District Commissioners can
issue a waiver under the anti.
deficiency law, the effect of which
will be to enable the District dis
bursting officers to disregard the
allotment of the total appropria-
tons for the salaries Of teachers,
firemen and policemen into fiat
monthly sums and to permit them
to pay the full salaries authorized
by Congress.
This, of course, would create a
deficiency, but Congress again
meets in December, seven months
in advance of the close Of the COM
ing fiscal year, and in ample time
to appropriate money to make good
the deficiency.
question OF Emergency
The only question in the way Of
this procedure is:
Have the District Commissioners
the power to create such q
deficiency?
The anti-deficiency law declares
that the head of any executive
VsfVP -
Government, shall have the power
to sign a waiver releasing the appro.
prtatlon for his department from
their strict month.to.monrn appOr-
tionment whenever there Is an
extraordinary emergency or an
unusual circumstance"
While there can be no claim
that the failure of the three local
pay bills constitutes an emergency.
yet it is truly an unusual circum.
stance. in the view of certain Gov
eminent officers and to that extent
fills within the scope of the law.
The unusual circumstance lies in
the fact that the pay bills actually
passed both the House and the
Senate and failed of becoming a
law merely becaused the enrolled
copy on parchment paper arrived
at the Capitol from the Government
Printing Office five minutes after
Congress had adjourned. It was
probably the first time in the his.
tory Of the Government that such
an accident had occurred.
Legal Phases Studied.
Officials Of the Budget Bureau to-
day were examining this phase Of
the question. and 1t Is understood
win confer with the District Com
missioners upon 1t In the near flu
ture. The legal phases Of the mat
ter are being carefully analysed,
and a decision favorabl to the pro.
cedure outlined is looked for.
