WASHINGTON, May 3 Con
fronting deficiency estimates of
upwards of a half billion dollars
President Harding informed the
executive department of the gov
ernment today they must end the
habit of living beyond their al
lowances and then calling on
congress to make .up the deficit.
In a letter to each of his rec
retaries, ud In an extended dis
cussion at the cabinet moef.ng.
the president laid It down as a
policy that only grave emergen
cies should warrant expenditure
of public funds prior to their ap
propriation. Practice Held Dangerous
The practice of making such ex
penditures without congressional
authority was one of the most
"dangerous tendencies' of admin
istrative government-and one of
. the. greatest barriers, to national
economy. -
At the cabinet meeting there
was some discussion of creating
a permanent commission to pass
Judgment on emergency expendi
tures which department heads
might recommend when congress
Is In recess or cannot be acted
upon Immediately. The sugges
tion did not lead to ft definite
decision, but so far as It took
form, it provided that the chair
man of the senate and .house ap
propriations committees and dir
ector of the proposed budget sys
tem should hold membership on

Mr. Harding sent his warning
to department heads at the re
commendation of Chairman War

committee, who pointed out de
' ficiency estimates before congress
amounted to $211,000,000 and
that others to be submitted prob
ably would bring the total above
1400,000.00. Wont of these sums
were said by cabinet officials to
have been expended by the lajt
administration or in projects in
augurated by it.

PROTECTION OF LARGE

WASHINGTON, May 3. Im
mediate congressional action to
heck the inroads of German for
eign trade in the t'nitod States
was urged today by Secretary
Hoover before the house ways and
means committee. A revived Ger
man commerce, lie said, was driv
ing certain American line out of
business.
He declared for a protective
tariff "of a large order" and
spoke favorably of the contem
plated change in policy as to the
basis of assessing import duties.
The committee is considering the
establishment of an American
standard of valuation to supplant
the system of levying tariff on the
value of imports in the land of
producton.
Xo Other Plan Seen.
Such a plan. Mr. Hoover sald, (
appeared to be the only solution :
to the problem of meeting sales by ;
Germany and other foreign coun-'
tries, whose currency is badly de-;
predated. '
Germany continues the policy
of indirectly subsidizing her indus
tries. .Mr. Hoover said, adding
that on the basis of reports by fed
eral agents the subsidy amounts
to around 5 Oper cent of the pro
duction costs.
The methods pursued in subsi
dizing the industries of Germany.
according to Mr. Hoover, include
a heavy contribution to the rail
roads and other public utilities.
expenses for services, he said.
"which justly should be assessed
through channels not governmen
tal." Many local subsidies exist,
he added, all of which have an Tn-
direct effect on the selling prices
of German commodities abroad.
(icmian Method R.ioel.
The Germans accomplish the
program by the issue of unlimited
paper currency. Mr. Hoover said.
He expressed the belief, however,
that this policy would lead to "in-
evitable disaster.
He made it plain that while
subsidies were continued the Ger
man industrial nation was placed
in a position for cheap production.
He cited steel prices quoted by
German firms In neutral markets
as $12 a ton below
American
prices. Other lines of American
trad ewere suffering likewise out
side of the United States, he said.

It follows:
"Whereas, this nation has been conceived in prayer
and devotion by men and women who were moved under
God to found a nation where principles of right should
form the lasting cornerstone; and
"Whereas these principles purchased at the price of
great sacrifice have been fostered by a worthy poster
ity; and
"Whereas the great war has laid its costly demands
upon our land ; now,
"Therefore, I, Warren G. Harding, president of the
United States, do hereby proclaim Monday, the 30th day
of May, a day already freighted with sacred and stimu
lating memories, a day of public memorial. I invite my
fellow citiens fittingly to pay homage on this day to a
noble dead who sleep-in homeland, beneath the sea or in
foreign fields so that we who survive might enjoy the
blessings of peace and happiness and to the end that lib
erty and justice, without which no nation can exist, shall
live forever.
"In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
