Mr. Johnson concurred in the view of Mr. Humphrey that Southern Demo crats will use their influence with the War Department to get most of ' the $20,000,000 lump appropriation, and that the projects of the West Coast will get only as much out of the $20 000.000 as they would recetlve from a $5,000,000 appropriation. He thought the Democrats might better practice real economy by appropriating $5,000,- 000 to maintain existing projects rath er than appropriate four times that amount to maintain the projects of the North while continuing work on the projects of the South.
