iX-n

Republican senators and representaivesare becoming more and mora ax- ,ircised because of the apparent tin- '

iveness of the "economy" in govern-'nent expenditures, which was prodpSed the people by the republican partyluring the national campaign last Sumnerand fall.As week after week of the present

Congress has rolled by the appropriationshave rolled up in staggering figiresand promise to continue to do somless a determined halt is called.Some of the republican members'rankly are admitting that even a beginningin a curtailment of expenditureshas yet to be made, and some>f them are wondering what is gongto happen to them in the electionslext year, if steps are not taken to

:ut down these expenditures.i

Huge Appropriation Increases.

The naval appropriation bill, as .itpassed the Senate, is approximately(100.000,000 larger than it was whent passed the House, nearly half a

billion dollars all told. It is about1(0,000,000 greater than was the navalappropriation act for the fiscal yeartow ending.The Army appropriation bill, which

s to come before the Senate this week,carries in the neighborhood of1335,000,000.T$e secona aenciency om wmca uan

lust passed the Senate, carries about1150,000,000, including millions of.dollarsfor the Shipping Board, which s

was the subject of severe attack bySenator Kenyon of Iowa and others,who declared that the Shipping Board 1

is wasting millions of dollars each 1

month.

Banking on Budget Bill. IJust where the promised cut in expendituresis to come has not yet been

made clear, it is said. The republicans,however, are banking upon the 1newly enacted national .budget billand J.he coming reorganisation of theexecutive departments to work foreconomy o< expenditure..-fAt .the same time that],these large

appropriations are being made, thel(veterans of, the world war are preas. r

ins for bonus legislation. The Colore*Wan treaty has been ratified by theSenate, agjeeing to pay to Colombia125,000,000 whioh must come out ofthe revenues of this country.The democrats In the Senate and

A joint resolution "concurring:the declared purpose of the Presiden:of the United States to c&l^ an internationalconference to limit armaments,"was agreed upon yesterdayby republican members of the Houfor*ip-n -j #To -»- .'*

o.. x»ano v.uiuiiimee, as a suuetllute for the Borah disarmament amendmentto the naval appropriation bill.The text was drafted by Hlairma"Porterafter a conference with Pres

ident Harding at the White HouseFriday night and is believed to havemet with his approval. It will be introducedtomorrow, and while itapassage may be somewhat delayed,, itis intended to convey to House confereeson the naval bill the attitudeof the House on the whole question ofdisarmament.Assistant Secretary of the Navy

Roosevelt, who discussed the proposalwith Chairman Porter Friday, metwith republican committeemen andtalked over the mode of procedure.

President WssU Be t ender.In the dozen or more disarmament

resolutions introduced heretofore inkite- iiduk, me pnraseoioey was quitedifferent from that finally agreedupon by the foreign affairs committee.Some of them "directed." "'requested" or "urged" the President tocall a conferenoe of the nations, others"expressing the hope" that he woulddo so. In the final form, however,

the would' actually boplaced at the head of the movement,with Congress expressing "its fullconcurrence" in his declaration, anset forth in an address to Congress"that we are ready to co-operate withother nations to approximate diearmament, but merest prudence fo.bidsthat we disarm alone."

Text of Resolntloa.The resolution follows:"Resolved by the Senate and HousofRepresentatives of the United

States of America in Congress assembled,that the Congress herebyexpresses its full concurrence in thedeclaration of the President in hisaddress to Congress on April 12. 1921that 'we are ready to co-operate withother nations to approximate disarmament, but merest prudence forbidsthat we disarm alone,' and furtherfully concurs in his declared purposeand intention to call an internationalconference to consider the limitationof armaments with a view to lessenmaterially the burden of expendituresand the menace of war. andthat for the expenses preliminary toand in connection with the holdingof such conference, the sum of $100,000,to be expended under the directionof the President, is hereby appropriated."

Will Hasten Action.

Representative Mondell of Wyoming,the republican leader, said that with Jhevarious views on the subject It had beenthought beat to have the foreign affairecommittee, in touch with the situationabroad and with the administration, oatlinewhat it construed to be the wissetpolio* at tho moment. While the resolutionitself will not be binding on theconferees, Mr. Mondell said, it woaMserve to "give them judicial notice" asto the feeling and attitude of the House..The naval bill, as returned from the

Senate, will be called up tomorrow uirQia rule which will give it privileged stetjMand immediate consideration. Mr. Mondellsaid the conferees to be named bySpeaker Gillett would not be instructedon the Borah amendment, but that.tfieresolution, while still leaving them freeto act as they saw fit, could hardly beignored, considering the agencies concernedin its preparation.Although the resolution made no refenceto land or sea armaments, Mr.

Porter said both were included under thebroad and general term.
