expects to have these details
when it meets again. Also Sec
retary Morgenthau will make
some recommendations Of his
own as to how money may be
saved.
Financial security is of vital
Importance to the country, Just
as much. indeed. as military Sc
curity, If the Republic is to con-
tinue. The Government is faced
with the need Of borrowing more
huge sums from the people If
1t can show that it is really doing
something about curtailing ordi-
nary expenditures and saving
money. it will be far easier to ser
the required loans from the
people. After all, the American
people are not anxious to see
their money wasted or thrown
away. even If they are terribly
anxious to do everything they
can for the defense of the coun-
try. The Byrd committee, there
fore, has a job of great impor-
tance on It's hands.

Doubles World War Cost.
This country is on the verge OF
great war. Indeed, the Presi-
dent has declared that the shoot
ing already has begun 1t has
pledged itself to be the arsenal
Of the democracies," which means
tremendous expenditure. 1t has
become increasingly necessary to
watch the dollars, If not the PEN
MES. When the United States en-
tered the first World War in 1917,
the national debt-publlc debt
was one billion dollars. Today, it
is nearly 50 billions.
AS Senator Byrd points out. the
Congress already has authorized
and appropriated for national
defense funds twice as large as
the cost of the first World War.
The vast part of this money is
still unspent, but it is all COM
mitment on the Treasury of the
United States. Including the Sec
ond lease-lend appropriation bill,
about s6,0O0,00o,o00, the total
authorizations and appropria-
tions for national defense now
exceed 10000, 100000. No one
knows how many more billions
will be required before the war is
won. If it is long war, the cost
will be huge, and the American
people will pay.
Spending money Is an easy
Job compared to raising it
through taxation. The Ameri-
can people are facing the heavi-
est taxes in their history; some
of them already have gone into
effect, and others are just
around the corner of New Year
Day. And yet with these new
taxes added to the old, we will
raise only so cents for every dol
lar expended in the current year.
and only IS cents for every dollar
expended in the next fiscal year,
unless there are still additional
heavy taxes imposed
Reduction Estimates Received.
The new committee has re-
ceived from the Budget Bureau
estimates showing how non-es-
sential expenditures could be
reduced by $1,000, 900 900, s1,5O0.-
100000 and $4,000, 900, 900. These

her. And unless there is a col
lapse of the morale of the Soviet
Army in that region, it is unlikely
that the Germans will be able 10
reach the Azerbaijan oil fields.
So sure is the Soviet govern
ment that the Germans won't
penetrate that mountain-bound
region that they have discouraged
a British mission which arrived
about a month ago in Moscow TO
help destroy the Baku oil wells
and tanks.
Stain is reported to have ad-
vised the British that he felt sure
the rich oil region would never
fall into the hands of the Nazis
and consequently the "wrecking"
mission would not have TO go to
Baku. It's members have joined
the British Embassy staff at
Kuibyshev, where they are await
ing further developments.

A somewhat gloomy picture Of
Russias situation has reached
Washington during the last few
days.
Russian troops at the frcnt are
fighting as valiantly as ever.
But the situation behind the
actual fighting lines is not par
ticularly cheering. There is a
good deal of confusion among
the generals in the rear and
equal confusion among those
responsible for transportation
and supplies.
While until about month ago
communication with the front
line was good, it has now become
chaotic. Those in charge need
not be blamed. The deeper the
Germans penetrate into the
country the more difficult It is
to maintain adequate commune
cations between the front and
the rear.

with Senator Byrd as chairman
and Representative Doughton of
North Carolina, chairman of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee, as vice chairman. Asa its
name indicates. the committee~
has been set up for the express
purpose Of pruning Government
expenses. 1t is expected at first
to deal with the so-called Or
dinary expenditures of Govern
ment, although some members
believe that it should also tackle
the job Of cutting down expendi-
lures on the big defense and
lease-lend programs-at least to
the extent Of seeing that no
waste occurs in those vast ex-
penditures. II 1t is found wise
and necessary, the committee
undoubtedly will 60 into these
extraordinary expenses later.
This years appropriations have
been made. The new committee,
therefore, will 60 to work on the
expenditures of the Government
for the next fiscal year begin
ming July /, 1912. Senator Byrd
expressed regret that it would
not be practicable to do anything
about the expenditures in the
present fiscal year, which began
last July. But he has high hopes
of accomplishing much next
year. In the first place, Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau, who
with the director of the budget
Is also a member of the new COM
mittee, has expressed a very firm
opinion that something must be
done to cut down Government
spending. This has encouraged
the Virginia Senator. And the
fact thet when the committee re-
ports it will express the views not

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

More than eight years ago,
President Roosevelt came into
Office on a Democratic platform
which pledged reduction in
Federal expenditures of rs per
cent. The country was in the
depths of the great depression.
The Hoover administration had
been denounced by the Demo-
Gratis, including Mr. Roosevelt for
its wasteful expenditures. In the
first year OF his administration,
Mr.. Roosevelt did succeed in
cutting the ordinary expendi-
lures of Government about Is
per cent. This was notable
achievement-but 1t was the last
along that line.
Since then expenditures, both
ordinary and extraordinary, have
been constantly on the rise.
There were number Of years in
which the President, in pre-
, senting his budget to the Con-
gress, expressed a hope that a
balance between expenditures
and receipts would be possible in
the next year or two. But even
that hope was abandoned, Now
the ordinary expenditures for the
Government, including ordinary
expenditures for the support of
an Army and Navy in ordinary
times-sn Army and Navy are
necessary even in times of peace
are approximately $4,000, 900, 900

the city and many refineries are
situated there. But geographical
ly the occupation Of Rostov will
not affect the military position
of Russia's oil region.
The Germans will still have to
cross an almost insuperable bar
rier Of high mountains which
separates that region from the
rest of the U. S. S. r. And al
though the army commanded by
Marshal Budyenny has been bad
ly damaged by the Nazi forces in
the Ukraine, enough forces have
managed to withdraw towards
the south, where they are joining
the army of the Caucasus.
Aid From Wavell Doubted.
Military observers in Washing
ton are skeptical over the ability
of Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavells
Indian army to join the Russian
forces in the near future. There
are no communications between
the British forces in the Near
East and the Caucasus. Further
more, the plan Of the British TO
bring vast force from India
into Persia seems hypothetical.
There are only caravan routes
between the Indian border and
Iran, either through independent
Afghanistan or B luchis t n.
Light columns using camels as
the principal means of convey
ance for ammunition and sup
plies might get through in the
summertime. But modern force
with mechanical units could not
possibly do so, according to mill
tary experts.
Thus Gen. Wavell could trans
port the force Of 100000 men
now being trained in India to the
Persian Gulf only by boat.
Thence it could easily be sent to
Iran but not to the Caucasus. be-
cause there is no railroad con-
nection between Tehran and
Tabriz; neither does the motor
road lend itself to the transpor-
tation of supplies needed by a
large army.
The Caucasian chain, fortified
by pillboxes and blockhouses
constructed in the side of the
mountains, will offer better
guarantee against invasion from
the Ukraine than anything Rus
sias allies may want to do for

a year. When the President took
over, they were around $780,
100000. That represents a gain
Of about $50 per cent.
These are not the extraordinary
expenditures OF Government, the
billions required for relief, the
billions required for national de-
tense and the lease-lend program.
They are the expenditures for the
regular departments of Govern
ment. The growth these depart
ments and their expenditures
have shown is both tremendous
and unfortunate in view of the
fact that the Government has
been engaged in deficit spend
ing for years. Men in Congress,
like Senator Byrd and Repre-
sentative Woodrum, both of Vir-
ginia, have raised their voices
time and again to deplore this
growth. Nothing has been done
about it

Americans on Rations.

The American Embassy at Kui-
byshev has food for~ several
months, but just enough to put
members Of its personnel on
strict rations. When a Quaker
organization suggested that some
of its members 60 into Russia to
relieve the situation among
stricken civilians 1t was warned
that they would have to bring
every bit OF food with them.
There is nothing in stores behind
the front and the Embassy is un-
able to help any one outside its
own staff.
The most productive provinces
of Russia are now in tie hands
of the Nazis. The principal rail-
way centers are located In the
occupied regions whence a fair
network of railway lines spreads
throughout the country taking
food supplies to some regions and
bringing raw materials to indus
trial centers from remote dis
tricts.
This system has now collapsed,
and the various provinces of
Russia must feed themselves
with whatever they have on
hand-for they cannot hope to
obtain anything from the out
side.

make high speeds impossible, storms
restrict vision and impede the
operation of aircraft. These condi-
tions are to the advantage of the
defense. The armored fighting vehi-
Gle, the aircraft, the rapid and
steady flow Of motor tranSport-are
all essential to the modern attack.
Good infantry and artillery, proper
ly dug in on a well-selecteo position
and provided with ample ammuni-
ton. are not easily or cheaply dis
lodged by ordinary means The loss
of velocity is a loss of striking power
which the German tacticians will
sorely miss.
Perhaps the greatest effect Of
winter on rapidity of military move
ment is the effect of extreme cold
on personnel. Human beings simply
cannot be exposed to the rigors Of
Russian winter for long periods
of time without ruinous casualties.
Shelter and warmth. especially at
night, are essential. Troops cannot
bivouac in the open without fires,
but fires in large numbers are sui
cidal In the face of an active enemy
air force. Adequate billets in a
country such as Russia can hardly
be found, at any rate without a dis
persal of troops which would be
tactically disastrous.
To attempt to carry along any
form of artificial shelter such as the
pre-fabricated cantonments which
the Germans have been reported as
building, would impose a fresh and
enormous burden on a transport
system already laboring under heavy
difficulties. When it is recalled that
| the bulk of the German infantry
divisions still use horse drawn artil-
lery and transport, so that the ques-
| ton of shelter for animals all un-
accustomed to the rigors OF Rus
sian winter must also be solved
there can be no doubt that German
enterprises in Russia must move
more slowly and seek less distant
objectives than in the autumn cam
paigns. -

Voroshilov has left the Leningrad

the Russians anticipate the pos

an attempt to cut the Archangel
railway, the most important outside
line of supply for the northern
front: but also that the offensive
