We have other great programs OF eX-
penditurcs which could not have been
financed without economy in our opera
tionS.
Navy Program Viewed.
"A construction program for the Navy
is now receiving the consideration OF
Congress. The authorization OF 1915
was the last complete Navy program,
and that has been practically completed.
The recommendation now before the
Congress to replace obsolete naval YES
sells and moderately increase our naval
strength contemplates an orderly con-
struction procedure. nothing more. IL
contemplateS that the construction pro-
gram will be carried out as conditions
dictate and Treasury balances warrant.
1t considers our own requirements alone
and carries no thought OF entry into
competitive construction with any other
nation. The plan I have indorSed does
not contemplate any limitation of time
as TO the beginning or the completion OF
this tentative program. But 1t does con-
template the building Of the ships as
fast as possible.
In preparing your estimates for 1929
YOU were advised that only S3.300.000.-
600 would be available for that pur-
pose, exclusive of tax refunds and GER
tain other excepted items. The budget
now before Congress carries for the
comparable items which that limiting
amount was intended to cover a total OF
approximately 326l 900 900. It will be
seen that we were well within the limit.
This proved most fortunate. as it en-
abled us TO provide for urgent needs
not contemplated when the maximum
was established. One Of these was the
item of nearly s20.0000 900 for meeting
the Governments obligation In connec-
tion with the retired pay Of Federal en-
ployes. We were enabled. because OF
that margin between your estimates
and the limiting amount. TO provide
for other equally urgent requirements.
THAT Is the meaning of constructive
economy. It Is not policy OF mega
ton. It calls for positive action. 1t
proceeds in accordance with the die
tateS OF common sense and the princi-
pies OF sound business. 1t Is provident.
1t looks ahead. 1t undertakes to make
plans today for the needs of tomorrow.
1t is because Of care in expenditure
that the surplus has been accumulated
which reduced our debt, which cut
down our interest, which gave relief
from taxation. and which has still left
a margin for public buildings. for in
ternal Improvements. for national de-
fense. All OF this is pre-eminently con-
Structive. As / indicated at the outset,
It has brought brighter opportunities
TO every home In the land. II there
is any one thing on which the people
OF this Nation should insist. 1t is the
continuation of this policy in the han
ding of their national finances

of the Budget Bureau is coordination.

It Is bv this method that the bureau
maintains contact with all the depart
mentS. and to a certain extent the de-
partments maintain contact with each
other. This enables considerable body
of men to have very clear compre-
hension of the entire financial strlic-
ture of the Government. This has
been brought about, not by bringing in
experts from the outside. but by TAX
ing people already in the service of
the various branches of the Govern
ment and securing the full benefit of
their knowledge and experience. In the
functions which they perform. the CO.
ordinatorS are the representatives OF
the President and entitled 10 his pro-
lection. 1t is an exceedingly important
work that is done by them. and they
are entitled to great credit for the sue
cess of our efforts.
Success Due to Many.
at would be impossible to designate
all the people who have contributed to
the success of the efforts for the orderly
financing OF our national revenues
under the budget system. In the first
place. 1t has been a success because 1t
has had the active and energetic sup
port of the people themselves. To this
has been joined the approval OF al
most every one connected with the
Government. both in and out Of the
Congress. AS all appropriation bills
originate In the House. it is evident
that the chairman Of the appropriations
committee. Representative Madden of
Illinois. has had very large part in
wisely balancing our expenditures IN
accordance with the policy of economy.
In the other chamber. this problem has
had the advantage Of the experienced
wisdom of Senator Warren of Wyo-
ming. While 1t is the President who de-
termines and submits the budget TO the
Congress. he has TO rely 10 great ex-
tent on the Investigations and recon-
mendationS carried on under the direc-
tor Of the Bureau OF the Budget. II
there Is any organization within the
confines OF our country that has ever
made a request for cutting down an
appropriation. do not know where 1t
is. The number who are engaged in
advocating increased appropriations Is
more than legion. Gen. Lord has been
success as the head of the bureau
because he has had the judgment TO
say yes when the facts warranted and
the courage 10 say no when the facts
warranted. His only desire is to find
out what each situation requires, and
recommend that ii be met. Any worthy
object, any needed appropriation. could
have no better friend. He has had
great experience In Government financ-
ing. He is clear thinker and plain
speaker. great benefactor TO those
who administer the affairs of the
United States Government. One OF
the chief reasons for holding these
conferences is to listen TO the counsel
OF Gen. Lord, who will now address
you"

II has made a rich contribution To the
present splendid financial status of the
country. II has enabled us 10 hire
money at lower rate than any other
business in the world. II has been
effective In the maintenance OF pros
perity. 1t has the hearty Endorsement
OF the taxpayers.
The budget for 1929. which forecast
a surplus OF $252. $4,000. is now before
the Congress. The action so far taken
by the Congress on that budget indi-
Gates no intention OF diminishing the
expected surplus. With continuation
OF the efforts for economy in Federal
operations, we can have moderate re-
duction In taxes and at the same time
adequately meet the urgent national
problems which are now confronting us.

means for internal improvements and
Developments and more adequate ma

no tax reduction than TO have too much.

has been filed by the Bethlehem StecI
Co. and the American Universal Mil
Go. of Scranton, Pa, against the United
States Steel Corporation and two of its
subsidiaries.
The complaints charge infringement
of patents covering the manufacture of

napt injunction, on accounting Of profits,
Sayment of court costs and treble

Papers filed in Federal Court yes

Steel Corporation and the American
Bridge Co. The plaintiffs asserted that

Henry Gray, the inventor, to the
American Universal Co. of New York in
March. 1904 Subsequently they were
assigned by That company TO tne Scran-
ton concern and the Bethlehem Steel Co.
Prior to the time the Bethlehem

He is now relegated to the background. His pow

agreement that will be satisfactory.
