unique position today in being the
only major power in the world
that has not granted some degree
Of recognition to the Moscow gov
eminent, which is, incidentally, the
oldest today in Europe. One by
one, Great Britain, France, Italy
Germany, and the others have
fallen into line and sent diplo
matte representatives to Russia
and Japan has just completed a
treaty of alliance and amity with
the Soviet authorities.
1t was regarded with some
significance today that even while
the White House was denying that
any change in the Russian policy
was contemplated, President Cool
idge permitted it to become known
that he, at least, considers that
Russia has made material. even
though slow, progress toward the
conditions laid down as precedent
to renewed relations with America.
And even more significant was
the action of Mr.. Coolidge in refer.
ring inquirers to his first message
to Congress in which he said: II am
willing to make large concessions to
Russia"
Another Change Hinted.
Coincident with the Cabinet and
diplomatic shake-up that has
startled Washington as has nothing
else since the war, there were re.
ports In reliable quarters today that
Frank B. Kellogg's tenure as SEQ
rotary OF State probably would be
a brief one, and that he would be
succeeded within the year by anoth.

the name Of Charles B. Warren to
this post. Warren will become At.
torney General within q few days.
He has had considerably more di.
plomatic experience than has KEEL

Japan and Mexico, besides having
served as attorney in much inter
national litigation, and Is known to
be a receptive candidate.

self now almost entirely from re,
ceipts and not from taxes.
Now how does it happen that
Congress is appropriating $1,000
900 more this year than last year
in its first three appropriation
bills?
Is it because it is defying the
economy policy of the Bureau Of
the Budget?
Not at all.
In the three bills together the
lekisla tors in the House Of Repre-
sentatives and in the Senate went
many million dollars lower than
the Bureau OF the Budget itself.
For instance, the Bureau OF the
Budget recommended $137,7O9,00O
for the Treasury Department. Con!
gress, in giving the Treasury De-
partment only $127, 0S9, 900. was
actually more than $4,000, 600 more
economical than the economical
budget experts and specialists.
The situation is that the Presi-
dent and the Bureau of the Budget
made to Congress certain recorI.
Inendations regarding these first
three appropriation bills and that
Congress bettered those recommen-
dations in the direction OF saving
money. The blame. for the : in
creases therefore, If any blame ex-
lists, certainly cannot be put upon
Congress.
Recommended Too Much.
Can it then be put upon the
President and the Bureau Of the
Budget?
They recommended more than
Congress was willing to grant, and
they recommended more than was
appropriated last year.
Are they TO be blamed?
In the view of this writer they
cannot be blamed at all.
The voters, in their successive
special groups, demand from the
Federal Government new services
and ever new and newer services;
and then these services inevitably
and irresiStibly grow, and the
appropriations grow with them; and
nothing can stop this process ex.
cept some new state OF mind on
the part Of the public toward the
Federal Government.
This generalization will now be
illustrated by one instance which ID
all the more TYPICAL because it is
at its beginnings-sman.

FARM HELP
HEADING
LIST !
Millions Added for Services in
Other Lines Only Voters
Themselves Can Kill Off
By WILLIAM HARD.

In the opinion of many people
here the large lesson to be learned
from the first three appropria-
ton. bills passed by this session
Of Congress is that further drastic
economies in the Federal Govern
inent are going to be virtually i'm
possible unless the voters them
selves come forward to say that
they do. not want certain Of the
services which the FedGaal Govern
ment is now rendering them.
AS long as the Federal Govern
nent is required to render all the
services which the voters, in sue
cessive special groups, now de-
mand from it, the chances Of any
further drastic reduction in Gov
ernmental expenditures would
seem to be slim indeed, if the
lesson apparently taught by the
first three appropriation bills can
be trusted.
Increases for Farms.
Last year the bill granting appro-
priations to the Department Of Ag-
riculture carried $65,714.000. This
year, in its final form, as just
passed, it carries $124,906, 900.
The Treasury Department appro
priation last year was $3.50, 76s, 900.
This year the Treasury Department
appropriation, as enacted by Con-
Rress in the joint Treasury and
Post Office appropriation bin, IL
9127, 039 900.
These bills together show an in
crease this year over last year Of
more than SIS, 900, 900.
The third bill in question-name.
ly. the bill for the Interior Depart
ment-shows indeed. on its surface,
q considerable retrenchment.
Last year Congress appropriated
@26s ,959 900 to the Interior Depart.
ment This year it has appropri-
ated only $239. 1915
This reduction, however, is only
slightly due to any accomplishment
Of economies.
1t is mostly due simply to the
fact that our old soldiers and their
widows are dying off.
Deaths Reducing Pensions.
In the Interior Department there
IL the Pension Office. The money
appropriated this year for pensions
il some 5000, 900 less than the
money appropriated last year.
The total reduction in Interior
Department appropriations this year
Is some $29, goo, 900.
With demised soldiers and soldiers
widows accounting for $25 .000, eco Of
It, there remains only $4,000, 000 Of
It to be attributed to any ingenuity
Of administration by the executive
branch or to any ingenuity Of legis-
lation by the Congressional branch
Of the Government.
II pensions are discarded from
consideration and IL the 81 900 900
Of economies shown in the Interior
Department are balanced against
the 65,000,000 of increases shown
In the Department OF Agriculture
and in the Treasury Department,
the net amount of increases in the
three departments shows finally at
the quite impressive figure of
$61 900 900.
Not Defiance Bills.
The Postoffice is omitted from
these calculations because it is q
business department supporting it.
