mass OF DATA GATHERED
ON GERMAN PREPARATIONS

BERLIN, Jan. 81 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Both sub-commit-
tees of the budgetary experts met
today. That of committee number
one conferred with DR.. Schacht,
president of the Reichsbank to OBJ
tain fuller details of the currency
situation. The second sub-commit-
tee began a study of the replies OF
the German government to the ques-
tions regarding the budget.
Among the mass of official data
which the commission must examine
is the Reich's budget for 1924 which
is drawn up in terms of gold marks.
In this the ordinary revenue from
taxation is estimated at 5, 900
gold marks while the extraordinary
revenue is estimated at 13O, 00O,0 ,0OO
making a total of 5,254,000, 1000.
Against this the ordinary expen-
diture is estimated at 4,942,0O0,0 600
and the extraordinary expenditures
13O.OOO,00O, which together with
expenditures in connection with the
execution of the Versailles treaty es-
timated at 10000, 900 make a total
of 5.712,0O0,O0 so that the budget
thus concludes with a deficit of 45S,-
00O,0 gold marks.
The budgetary statement stresses
the point that German finances are
still in a state of transition. 1t pre-
supposes complete restoration OF
Germany's economic sovereignty in
the occupied zones and also that
the central government will be ac-
corded complete jurisdiction in the
matter of levying taxes and the
execution of other administrative
functions in the occupied Arrears.

URGENT APPEAL is MADE
BY CHURCH WORK HELP

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. S1.-An
urgent appeal for better field sup
port to carry on the church work
was contained in the report of the
committee on missions before the
te..-h annual synod of the Episco-
pal church province of New York
and New Jersey, in session at the
Ascension church here.
The committee, of which Bishop
Lloyd, of New York, is chairman,
deplored the fact that but two-fifths
of the quota of $1,543,000 appor-
toned to the districts had been
raised.
This failure to meet the appor-
tionment is embarrassing the pro-
gram the situation must be met. The
American Episcopal church will be
soon called upon to provide not less
than $780, 600 as special donation
to rehabilitate the church in Japan.
We should anticipate this coming
budget by creating surplus rather
than going In arrears" the report
declared

WASHINGTON, Jan 3f:-Secre-
tary DENLY Initiated transfer OF
the California and Wyoming naval
oil reserves to the interior depart
ment, Rear Admiral Latimer. judge
advocate general of the navy, today
told the House naval committee.
The admiral said Mr.. DENLY had
told him he had initiated the trans
fer after investigating the question
and consulting with various ex-
psrts".
After becoming member of the
cabinet. the witness explained, Mr..
DENLY became convinced of the nee
essity Of taking prompt action 10
prevent further depletion of oil in
the navy's reserves, but had no or-
ganization in his department which
could function to that end.
Admiral Latimer said that even II
It were proven that the Doheny and
Sinclair leases were tainted with
fraud and corruption 1t might be
poor policy for the government to
cancel them.
'If the government would lose
money, he added, 1.-The government
would merely be cutting off its nose
To spite its face to throw up the
contracts. If, however, the con-
tracts are not to be best interests oi
the public, they should be revoked
Questioned by Democrats on the
committee, Admiral Latimer said
he did not pass on the legality oi
the transfer of naval oil reserves
to the interior department or oi
the contracts with Doheny and Sin
clair at the time they were effected
He 5teadfastly declined to be drawn
out as to whether he believed the
leases as a whole were legal.
