TREASURY
FORWARPURPOS
- EXPLODED THEORY
Fallacy Is Shown Up Through
Completion of Budget of
U. S. Government for Year
of 1923; Costs Are listed.
LARGE SUM IS SPENT
UPON WATERWAYS
Nearly Half of Expenses Are
Taken Up in Payment On
Federal Outstanding ' Debt-
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.--(Special
Correspondence). The estimat of ap
propriation8 needed for- the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1923, and end
ing June 30, 1924, as submitted by
the budget bureau, completely de
molishes that standard piece of fiction
which! shas been in service many
years, to the effect that 90 cents out
of every dollar expended by this gov
ernment is expended for war purposes.
The budget bureau analyzes' the esti
mated expenditures, showing how the
average dollar appropriated will be
divided. The division will be as fol
'lows: For support of- the . legislative
branch of th government, 4 cents;
for the veterans bureau, 14.5 -cents;
for other commissions, boards and
bureaus outside the regular depart
ments, 1 cent;. department of agricul
ture, 4.9 cents; department of com
merce, .6 "cents; department of the
interior, 10 cents; department of jus
tice, including United States supreme
court and other federal judiciary, .6
cents; department of labor, .2 cents;
navy department, 10.1 cents; state
department, .5 cents; treasury de
partment, including appropriations for
payment of interest on public debt
and reduction of principal, 46.5 cents ;
war department, including administra
tion of Panama canal, river and har
bor improvements and other non-military
activities, 9.9 cents; District of
Columbia, .8 cents. The postoffice de
partment is largely supported from
postal revenue.
This clearly shows that the United I
States is far from being a militaristic
nation. In fact, in another chart fur
nished by the budget bureau it is
demonstrated, that out of every dol
lar expended, only 13.5 cents goes to
purely military and naval purposes
in the interest of national defense.
The total expenditures charged as
"military funclods" are 32.7 cents out
of every dollar. This includes . the
13.5 cents above mentioned for strictly
defense purposes and 19.2 cents for
pensions, retirement pay, veterans bu
reau, etc.
According to this chart 34.4 cents
out of every dollar expended by the
government goes for what is classified
as "non-functional" purposes. that is,
payment of interest on 'public debt,
retirement of principal of public debt,
etc. For the purposes "of "general
functions" such as cost of the legis
lative branch of the government, and
general overhead of the various ad
ministrative agencies, 2.8 cents of
every, dollar is expended. For what
are known as "civil functions," which
constitute practically all of the ad
ministrative agencies of the govern
ment, 27.3 cents are expended.
A table accompanying' this chart
compares the expenditures of the
present fiscal year and the estimated
expenditures for the next fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1923, with expendi
tures as far back as the fiscal year
of 1915. Thisi comparison shows a
'general reduction in all classes of
expenditures, but the greatest reduc
tion to be in the expenditures for
military and naval purposes. In 1915,
41.5 cents out of every dollar was
spent for military functions. -
The budget bureau also submits a
comparative statement of the appro
priations proposed for the fiscal year
beginning next July with those which
were made for the current fiscal year.
This shows a decrease of $169,656,934.
The principal decreases are in the de
partment of the interior approxi
mately $11,000,000; treasury depart
partment approximately $12,000,009;
war department approximately $20,
000,000; shipping board approximate
ly $50,000,000.
A few departments show an in
crease in estimated appropriations
for the next year over this, but with
the ' exception of the department of
agriculture and the veterans bureau,
these increases are small. The de
partment of agriculture shows an in
crease of - approximately $20,000,000
due to the increased appropriations
for highway improvements. The vet
erans bureau shows an increase of
$18,000,000 over this year.

LOAN TO GERMANY
BY AMERICA NOW
HELD IMPROBABLE
New York Financier Declares
Teuton Government Is Not
In Position to Sell Bond
Issue to People of U. S.
FUTURE HELP MAY BE
EXTENDED IS THEORY
Reparations Difficulty Said
. Fault of Stand Taken by
Administration of Wilson.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20. An address
by Thomas W. Lament of J. P. Morgan
& Co., before the council of foreign
relations last night in which he dis
cussed prospects of a loan to Ger
many, wag regarded today as one of
the most significent statements yet
made on the question.
The American people have no in
tention of making a loan to Germany,
ha said, because she is not in any po
sition at the present time "to inspirit
our people with confidence to buy her
bonds-"
Lamont stated conditions under
which he believed a German loan
might be floated in this country at
some future time not a large loan
but enough to enable Germany "to
get over the hill."
These'conditions, he said, were the
settlement of the reparation problem
and the fixing of a definite sum so
that Germany would be- aware of her
obligation.
"Following the fixation of this
sum," he continued, "Germany must
set out on a period of deflation. There
may possibly come with that a scheme
of the allies for the supervision of
such deflation, including the adminis
tration of Germany's customs."
"Even if a loan is- advanced," he
said, "i doubt if Germany will be lent
a sum sufficient to discharge her
reparations debt."
- Lamont denied that the state depart
ment had sent the German ambassa
dor to confer with Morgan here re
cently. He further expressed his
opinion that the people of this coun
try have the utmost sympathy for
France and that they would be glad
to lend money to her "on a large
scale.
Another speaker, John Foster Dulles,
a former member of the reparations
commission, declared the present
difficulty In the reparations question
was due largely to the stand of for
mer President Wilson.
"It la the situation which Mr. Wil
son created then that now affects
the whole problem, said Dulles, "and
the American ' people should not be
disinterested in undoing it."
Dulles related that the move of the
allies at the peace conference to force
Germany to pay the total war debts
was oiocKed oy a wireless message
sent by Mr. Wilson -from the George
Washington when he was returning to
America. In this radiogram the for
mer . president declined to . put war
costs in the reparations ftafrm
CHICAGO CRIME WAVE
IS INCREASED BY COLO
CHICAGO, Dec. 19. Death, fire and
crime stalked with the cold wave
.which continued to hold Chicago in
its grip today.
Zero temperatures which prevailed
over the city for the past three days
causey five deaths, thousands of dol
lars damage from fire and hundreds
of minor robberies.
;With- freezing weather coming just
before the holidays, the crime and fire
wave was one of the worst in the his
tory of the city, police declared. Acute
suffering was reported among the
poor in several sections of the city
and relief societies wera rushed with
work.
Four men were found frozen to
death last night Another man was
killed when he slipped on the icy
pavement and fell in the path of a
skidding automobile.
The fire department has had hardly
a moment's rest in the last three days.
More than 200 alarms of fire were
answered. Scores - of families were
forced to flee from their burning
homes onto the wind-swept- streets,
clad only in night clothes- Ninety
per cent of the fires were caused by
overheated furnaces, fire department
officials said.
Pickpockets, shoplifters, second
story workers and holdup men worked
overtime. Police headquarters was
deluged with reports of robberies
ranging from a few dollars to thou
sands. "Cold weather always brings more
crime?" police said. "So does the hol
iday season. Combine them and we
have a bad situation."
The weather bureau predicted mod
erating temperature tonight," but in
dicated another cold wave would fol
low at the end of the week.
