tried to compliment Mr. Dawes on
his work, but he told them, be
tween putts on his pipe to ";ut it
out." Harry Higgs, financial ad
viser to the government of Egypt,
also spoke, but since he did not go
into Mr. Dawes' record he escaped
interruptions.
Cabinet Talked Revolt-
1 ve lost the art of moderate
expression," said Mr. Dawes and
he went on to tell what he thought
or some congressmen who "run
like rats when any one shakes the
name of the American Legion in
their faces as on the bonus question."
tie said the public was not
aware of the temper of the cabinet
on the budget policy, or how cabi
net officers "talked revolt" in re
spect to it.
L-iting an instance of cabinet
opposition, he said that when he
asked Assistant Secretary of the
avy uoosevelt to permit him to
transrer a million dollars worth or
mine sweepers from the naVy to
tne coast and geodetic survey, Mr.
Roosevelt refused.
I called Roosevelt to my of
fice," said Mr. Dawes, "and he
came. I asked him if he wanted
to go to the mat with me before
the president. He withdrew the
letter."
Mr. Dawes said that when he
asked for some information from
the chief of naval operations, the
orncer replied that he considered
it his duty to the people to main
tain the navy efficiently.
"I said to hiin 'the hell you
do,' " Mr. Dawes remarked. "I
told him it was the president who
had that responsibility. I said
either he or I would leave office.
I got the information and that lit
tle talk saved just $10,000,000."
Referring a complaint General
Harbord made. General Dawes
said. his own reply was:
"Your's is like the plaintive call
of the peewee when its nest in the
brush is being cut down for some
great public improvement."
Mr. Dawes said he received no
answer from General Harbord.
