MCDONALD PLAYED
 BY LLOYD GEORGE
Liberal Asserts Premier Wasted Time On Disarmament

London. Dec o6 LP-David Lloyd George, the liberal leader. today turned his verbal artillery once more against the labor government, charging that Ramsay Macdonald spent altogether too much time in the negotiations of the London naval conference which might well have been left to some other member of the ministry.
 His latest onslaught, which set political observers to asking them selves how much longer the labor liberal continuation can last. was contained in statement to the press in connection with a controversy be- tween Lloyd George and Vernon Hartshorn, Lord Privy Seal, some of whose statistics in connection with government unemployment relief the liberal head has challenged.
 Not Justified By Result
 "The prime minister" said Lloyd George. "spent the first half of his term of office negotiating the naval agreement which could well have been left, like it's more far-reaching predecessor, the Washington naval agreement to the foreign secretary or the first lord of the admiralty.
 Neither the task nor it's results have justified his practical abandon ment for nine months of control of the principal item in the program ;,l> I.s {,
 This last was Interpreted as a reference to the unemployment problem.

 All government departments have presented their estimates of needs for the 1892 fiscal year, which be- gins next June 30 and extends until July 1, 1892. The budget containing these figures must be ready for con- gress by the second Monday in De- cember of this year.
 Just before the hearings began. government departments again were warned by President Hoover that stringent economy is necessary if deficits and higher taxes are to be avoided. It is the custom of the budget bureau to prune the estl- mates somewhat and congress usual ly reduces them still further so the figures presented today were mere ly preliminary.
 The budget for the current fiscal year aggregated s3,S30,445,231, but omitted s100.o00.Oo0 subsequently appropriated for the federal farm board and more than s10,000, 100 required to begin work on Boulder Dam
