ECONOMY THAT COUNTS.
Up to the last of June, the War De-
{ -rtment had liquidated war contracts
i inounting to approximately a billion
sd a quarter dollars, By this process,
$1 279,158 000, or 86 2 per cent of the
coutracts, were saved. There remained
more than two billion dollars ot unful
fitled contracts to be cancelled or liqui-
dated, On these, it was estimated, ap-
proximately two billions of dollars would
be saved, A total saving of more thau
three billions of dollars will accordingly
have been effected.
Republicans in Congress are attempt-
ing to take the credit for these ravings,
New appropriations are much smaller,
and the departments of the Government
are sending to Congress estimates great.
ly below what would have been necess-
ary and what were requested before the
armistice was signed. In their claims of
“economy” and their boasts about ‘re.
trenchment,” Republicans in Congress
are attempting to deceive the public into
believing that if it had not been for their
precautions, the appropriations would
have been vastly larger. As a matter of
fact, it is the departments, and partic.
ularly the War and Navy departments,
that are showing the way to lessen ap-
propriations,
