China.
Second, why don't they explain, that to en-
ter such conflict Americans must be willing
to spend more in four years than they can
get back in 5000 years of trade?
Why don't the Washington diplomats openly
tell the public, which shoulders the rifle and
marches away 70 die when the diplomats pipe
the tunes, that for every dollar we get out Of
China, we put in many more dollars?
Why don't they tell that the cost of maintain
ing troops and naval forces Of the United States

profit we might receive from Chinese sales?
There Are Other Factors
But suppose we leave the commercial side of
the argument for moment and consider other
factors. Remember that most of China was sliced

Chinas fate at the hands Of Japan.

Rep. Collins Tours
D. G. Agencies for
Study of Budget
Personnel Problems
Are Considered

First actual steps toward prep.
aration of the District appropria.
ton bill for the coming fiscal year
were taken today when Repre-
sentative Ross A. Collins CD, Of
Mississippi, chairman Of the Dis
trict subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee, started
on a tour of inspection of local
government agencies.
Determined to keep operating
expenses of the city to the level
provided by current law, Mr..
Collins is delving particularly into
personnel problems of the institu-
tions and bureaus which he is in.
speeding.
ASK MORE PERSONNEL
Most of the heads Of depart.
ments have asked for increases ir
personnel over the current provi.
sion and in most instances Repre-.
sentative Collins is convinced that
such increases cannot be justified.
In addition to studying per-
some requests, however, Mr..
Collins is collecting data on the
various requests of the agencies
for permanent improvements. To-
ward these the chairman looks
with more sympathetic eye.
Mr.. Collins Is convinced that If
the coming bill is to be increased
over the approximately 81, 000, 900
carried in the current law, the in.
crease should be devoted to CAPT
tai expenditures. These, however
will have to be justified beyond
any shadow of doubt as to their
necessity before Mr.. Collins and
his colleagues on the District sub
committee will approve.
ESTIMATES FORECAST
The Commissioners requests to
the Bureau Of the Budget for the
coming year totaled approximate
ly $50, 000,0 900. Just hCw much Of
these estimates will be transmitted
to the House by the bureau is
problematical, but it is considered
probable that they will be reduced
by at least two million dollars.
Both the House and the Senate
are expected to make a deter
mined effort to hold the new ap
preparation bill to approximately
the same figure as that for the
current year. They are persuaded
to this view by the complicated
fiscal situation which the city is
facing and the necessity which
Congress will face in the coming
session of passing new tax bills.
