SCHOOL FUNDS
|FORD,C,SLASHED
i'm CONFERENCE.
Most of Senate's Boost
Are DeIeted

District public schools took
beating in the final agreements
on 1899 appropriations, the con-
ference report on the annual sup
ply bill disclosed today.
Senators on the appropriations
subcommittee in charge Of the bill
added $500 900 in round figures to
the total Of school appropriations
as approved by the House, the larg-
est two items in this increase being
$177,416 for teachers salaries and
$242,585 for furnishing and equip
ping the new junior high school
at Banneker Recreation Center
and the senior high school at Fifth
and Sheridan Streets Northwest.
This increase put the school ap-
preparations back almost to the
Budget Bureaus figure, before the
House cut.
On the showdown the House
conferees forced the Senate to
back down on most of this in
crease, leaving only q modest gain
in the school total over the orig
inal House figure.
School officials, including ad.
ministrative and supervisory Of
ficers and employees, lost a $40, 900
increase in the shuttle.
Teachers generally had $177.4
the entire amount of the Sen
ate increase-knocked off in the
interest of a more nearly bal
anced municipal budget.
House conferees agreed to a
Senate amendment cutting the
fund for development of voca-
tional education from 100000 to
$17.69s.
Public school Fairgrounds won
out as the Senate went along on
a House provision appropriating
$25, 900 to keep them open during
the summer.
School janitorS and caretakers
lost a $4,000 pay increase which
the Senate tried to give them.

JAPAN WEIGHS
WAR MEASURE

TOKYO, March II Q.N.S0.
The japanese House Of Peers be-
gan discussion Of the national mo-
bilization bill today following its
unanimous passage by the house
of representatives last night.
Passage Of the bill by the lower
house climaxed a long period OF
political wrangling during which
opposition spokesman charged the
government with attempting to
establish what amounted to a 1aS-
ciSt dictatorship in Japan. .
The bill gives the government
dictatorial powers in time Of war
or. during other incidents" such
as the present updeclared conflict
with China.
Attached to the bill as passed
by the lower house was a resolu-
ton expressing hope the govern
ment would not "abuse" the
powers given it under the terms
of the bill.

For just as they want us to
know What They're Saying in

(Honest) Harold Ickes to broad
cast to the British and tell them
What We're Saying in Ameri-
ca" And inasmuch as the Ickes
broadcast was not for American
ears, but solely for Empire con-
sumption, Honest Harold did a
noble job of his "hands-acroSS-
the-sea" stunt.
New York lecture managers
have been doing a right good
business this seaSon-booking
the steady stream of British
lecturers, all the way from
bloomin' belted earls down to
mere London labor leaders.
This is an odd contrast to the
picture on the other side of the
Atlantic. The only things Great
Britain seems to have a pen
chant for that is American are
Hollywood movies and American
actresses. Rarely does one near
of an American going over there
to lecture. Evidently they feel
we can amuse them, but when

them you can get the best in
ner glance available at the
pocketbookS in Europe. It fur
nishes an entirely different pic
ture than the diplomatic yard
stick of success which Hitler
now is proudly waving over
Austria.
Briefly it indicates Mussolini
Is beyond hope of financial re-
demption and Hitler is nearing
the same abyss.
IN ITALY the partly published
L ordinary budget last year con-
tanned a grand 24,702 million
lire of revenue and only 23,413
millions of expense.
That sounds like afruence,
but according to the most au.
thoritative reports reaching
here. MuSsolini had q secret
budget of about II billion lire
of additional expense, and,
needless to add, no additional
revenue. (The wedding rings
offered by Italian womanhood
were considered as ordinary
receipts.)
The secret II billion lire
budget contained Ethiopian ex.
pense, one billion for East
Africa, two billions a year for
six years for public works in
italy, one billion a year for four
years for state road building at
home.
From these and other figures
available, it Is evident Musso-
lini is living from hand to
mouth and cannot lay his hand
on enough income to sustain
himself much longer. In fact,
authorities here wonder what
is holding him UP. Dictators
have many tricks through
their control of all national
economics, but this trick seems
to be a miracle.
THE Germans publish no fig
l. ures whatsoever on t h ell
budget, and Hitler's actual con-
dition is harder to gauge.
However, six years ago, before
Hitler, in 1892, the German
budget of expenditures was ST.
billion reichsmarks. In the last
fiscal year 193O it nearly
trebled that figure at 1873 bill

taxes and revenues, but with all
his efforts, his 1887 deficit Is
estimated at 4.3 billions.
All his increases are going Tor
armaments. In 1884 the German
armament expenditure was 3
billions, in 1887 it was 1875 bill
lions-more than four times as
much as three years earlier.
The German public debt Is
supposed to be around 16 billion
reichsmarks which simply
means that if the normal pro-
cesses of arithmetic prevailed IN

LEGISLATION ASKED
Several agencies and de.

explained Chairman Lea.
"They believe it would aid in

'"The extent to which such in

whether it should be used, is

to state their views on the queS-

1T may be that there should
be some limitation not contained
in the bill. The provision in it
requiring a certificate by heads

wizard Of the Reichsbank has
worked out bilateral trading
agreements like the one by
which he gets cotton from Brazil
without money, and he is max.

even DR.. Schacht is cutting
deeply into Germany's few re-

Hitler, therefore, might pos

For the current year Great
Britain is raising S23 million
pounds in revenue and spending
938 millions; deficit Is millions.
Last year Britain raised 1865
millions and spent 902 millions;
deficit 5.4 millions; these fig
ureS indicate England, with all
her armament expenditures,
comes closer to balancing than
the United States does.
Furthermore her public debt
has not followed the upward
spiral Of that Of the United
States, although it is now about
the same size as ours. In 1881
the British public debt was
7,413 million pounds; in 1887
