The nations military budget for
next year depends upon What
Japan and the other powers are
going to do" Representative
James P. Buchanan (D0 of Texas,
chairman of the House Appro-
priations Committee. said today.
If Japan goes through with her
plan to renounce the arms treaty
and limitation of armamentS fails,
Congress will provide whatever Is
needed for an adequate national
defense" he asserted.
Although President RooSevelt's 8
annual budget is to be submitted
to Congress in 30 days, the Army
and Navy estimates have not been
completed. Mr.. Buchanan said:
"The Army and Navy figures
will be ready sometime in Janu-
ary when our subcommittee are
ready to begin work on them,
but we don't know what the ap-
preparations are going to be be-
cause we don't know what
Japan and the other powers are
going to do.
ADEQUATE DEFENSE SEEN
"If the international situation
Is disturbed, whatever amount
may be necessary can be taken
care of in a deficiency appro-
priation bill or a resolution
near the end of the session.
eff the arms conference
breaks down, 1 believe that Con-
gress will be willing to provide
the funds necessary for an ade-
Quate national defense.
"Our initial appropriation
bills will provide funds for carry

the Navy along the lines of the
VinSOn bill. I expect the budget
estimates to provide for further
mechanizatiOn Of the Army.
81 express no opinion on the
number of naval vessels to be
provided. Whatever is neces-
sary for the national defense,
determined after full and care.
full hearings, should be pro.
vided."
Seek More Men
Mr.. Buchanan conceded that
Army and Navy appropriations
: probably will be increased be-
. cause of the rise in cost Of food
: and materials. The Navy expects
its costs to be higher because of
!: a rise in the cost of oil, food,
: clothing, and both services will
be affected if the full pay cut is
= restored.
: Appropriations for the Navy in
the last session totaled 1924, $685..

for the purely military activities

disputes which may from time to
time arise between employers and
laborers."

are accepted as members of the
union.

j. s. To EXPLAIN
To HIGH COURT
STANDONNRA
Will Claim Justification for
Drastic Law Because of
Economic Situation

The Governments official legal
conception of the National Indus
trial Recovery Act was barred for
the first time in a 50,000-word
brief to the Supreme Court today.
It presents the Governments
stand in the Amazon and Panama
oil cases, slated for argument
Monday, and combines a defense
both of the MIRA, the oil code and
the oil provisions of the recovery
law.
The Governments constitutional
authority for MIRA is based upon
its right to control interstate COM
merce and acts affecting inter
state commerce, the brief as
serted.
Problems Are Complex
Delegation Of vast power to the
President to approve codes of fair
competition was defended upon
the practical ground that the
problems of trade and industry
are so complex that it would be
impossible for Congress to enact
specific legislation.
Although the constitutionality
Of the recovery law was sup
ported on general grounds, the
brief also cited the economic Situ-
alton as Justification for drastic
legislation.
Protects Commerce
Likening the intent of Con-
gress in MIRA to prevent monop'
oily and restrain acts affecting
interstate commerce, the brle1
said:
"In the recovery act Congress
adopted the view that inter-
state commerce required pro.
lection from overproductiOn and
commemorative prices. These
acts thus represent different
economic policies, but so far as
concerns the kind of activity
subject to Federal regulation
there can be no difference in
constitutional power because
of the difference in economic
policies.
"The Federal Government may
properly seek to protect the
economic welfare of an industry
which is predOminantly inter-
state"
DEFENDS ITS POWER
Defending the delegation Of
legislative power to the PreSi-
dent, it said:
eff the power granted the
Executive by the recovery act
seem extensive. it must be borne
in mind that the subject mat
ter with which the act deals
is extensive and complex.
ut is precisely the magnitude
of the problem which makes a
broad delegation necessary. 1t
is submitted that no conStitu-
tiOnal provision, no decision Of
the court, and no accepted pO-
itical theory or social policy
stands in the way of the valid.
ity of the present relegation."
The brief was filed by Solici-

and six other Department Of
Justice attorneys; Nathan R. Mar

partment, the assistant solicitor,

CITIZENS ASKED
FOR IDEAS ON
COURT PLAN
Financing Justice Building
Project For City Subject
Of Civic Confab

Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman today called on local
civic organizations for a plan to
finance the construction of the
small courts building of the NUM-
cipal Center projects.
Unable to include the building
in the 1886 fiscal budget. the Com
missioners are interested in some
means of starting construction on
the first unit of the center. The
courts building would include
police, juvenile and the U. S.
courts.
Taxi Insurance, Too
District officials have no con-
crete plan for the financing of the
project, and the citizens were
called upon for advice.
The request also outlined drafts
of legislative measures which may
be submitted to Congress during
the coming session.
Among these is the taxicab in
surance bill which was defeated
in the House at the last session.
Numbers" Also Topic
The measure would require
taxicab and other public vehicles
to carry liability insurance. It
was pointed out that higher rates
probably would result but that
the riding public would be af
forded protection from careless
and reckless drivers.
Other legislative m assures
which were submitted to the
citizens are laws to curb the
numbers racket" and the small
loan regulations.

the switch then to the robust
Sibelius was somewhat of a must
cal shock, though it proved ex-
tremely acceptable.
Chabrier's "Espana," a stirring
rhapsodic number, brought the
program to a brilliant conclusion,
and the audience applied it's ap-
plause to a we'll conducted and
we'll played program.
But to digress from music, it
is to be hoped that before another
concert the management of Con-
stitution Hall will do something
to quiet it's heating equipment.
There was a distracting clank
which at times all but ruined the
effects of the music, and some
thing should be done about it.
The concert, the first of the
evening series, attracted a large
and fashionable audience, with
society and the diplomatic corps
filling the boxes.
In honor of the playing of the
Slbelius symphony, the Minister of
Finland entertained box party.

SCHOOL HEADS
BACK PLEAFOR
MOREFUNDS
Budget Bureau Told of Needs
Piled Up BY Economy
During Slump

With the pairing knife of
stringent economy held over their
heads, school officials today are
appearing before the Budget
Bureau to explain their need of
more than $12,000,000 to operate
the District school system.
Already the specter of portable
schools has been brought to the
attention of the bureau. If the
bureau does not grant the add.
tional Federal sum of $2,580,00
asked by the Commissioners for
the fiscal year, 1896, the school
appropriations probably will be
cut down by more than $1,000
900.
BallOu Tells of Needs
Presenting the needs of the
schools to the bureau today are
Superintendent Frank w. Bal
lou, Assistant Superintendent
Robert Haycock, Stephen E.
Kramer G. C. wilkinson and
Jere ]. Crane and members of
the Borad of Education.
In the 1896 budget estimates
the Commissioners asked $10,620,'
962 for operation of schools, ST.
10000 for buildings and grounds,
and $4,000 for purchase Of land.
The estimates provide for sala-
ries on a 100 per cent basis and a
general so per cent restoration of
funds cut off because of the bust
ness slump from construction and
other items.
1923 More Rooms Needed
A survey of school house &C.
commodations ordered by the
Board of Education indicated the
need of 1919 additional claSs-rooms
to relieve congestion.
The original estimates presented
by school officials totaled $14,117,.
Gil, but the Commissioners re-
ouced this to the figure which
will be asked from the Budget
Bureau.

Stars at Symphony

1t was program of decided
contrast that the National SYM
phony Orchestra presented last
night, yet it won the audience
that packed Constitution Hall to
hear the first-night concert, with
the added attraction of the ever
popular Lucrezia Bori.
To take the pastoral music of
Seventeenth Century England,
follow it by the Second Symphony
in D minor, work of Finland's
Sibelius. and top it off with
French modernism on a Spanish
motif is contrast indeed.
Yet DR.. Kinder handles his
orchestra so well the program
scored a tremendous success.
Nine. Bori was enthusiastically
received and responded with a
number Of encores. Hr best work
was done in the two Mozart num-
bers on the program, sung with
the orchestra.
Sibelius the Highlight
Her voice in the middle regis
tiers was splendid as ever. but
there was a decided tendency tc
force her high notes. which al
times we're flatted. But Bori is g
gracious singer with mannerismS
all her own, and she has endeareo
herself to the concert goer.
The orchestra reached its high
est peak in the Sibelius Second
Symphony which is truly great
though unfortunately it is played
so seldom.
Sibelius has been compared to
his native country, a rocky, hard
land. This may be true in sense,
but there is about his music a
vaStness and an understanding
that makes it a joy to hear.
For the opening number, DR.
Kinder had selected a charming
group of English music of the pas
toral type, the work of Henry
Purcell, arranged by that splendid
musician, Albert Coates.
It is arranged for strings only
