The estimates of appropriations in the Alternative Budget have been so assembled and correlated that all esti mates for any given department are included in one chapter. W arken T he W h it e H o u se, , . December 5 1921 G. H a r d i n g . v MESSAGE TRANSMITTING THE BUDGET. To the C o n g r e s s o f t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s : I submit herewith the budget of the United States for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923. It will be noted that the estimated ordinary expenditures for 1922 show a reduction of $1,513,537,682.20, compared with the actual ordinary expenditures for 1921; and that the estimated ordinary expenditures for 1923 show a reduction of $447,704,239 under 1922, making the estimated ordinary expenditures under the budget for 1923, $1,961,241,921.20 less than the actual ordinary expenditures for 1921. Including transactions in the principal of the public debt and investment of trust funds, the total estimated expenditures for 1922 show a reduction under the total actual expenditures for 1921 of $1,570,118,323.30, and the total estimated expenditures for 1923 show a reduction of $462,167,639 under the total estimated expenditures for 1922, making a reduction in total expenditures in the estimated budget for 1923, as compared with the total actual expenditures foi\1921, of $2,032,285,962.30. It will also be noted that the total estimated receipts for 1922 are in approximate balance with the total estimated expenditures, including reduction in the principal of the public debt, and that the total estimated receipts for 1923 are within approximately $150,000,000 of a balance with the total estimated expenditures of that year. Such a discrepancy is unavoidable, when authoriza tions of expenditure are being enacted during the process of budget closing, but ways are provided for relatively easy adjustment without added taxation. For the purpose of providing a portion of the funds necessary to balance the budget for 1923, in which the esti mated expenditures exceed the estimated receipts by the sum of approximately $150,000,000, I recommend the following legislation in connection with the naval appropriation bill for 1923, which would result in the eventual automatic release of $100,000,000 now held in the naval supply account of the Navy Department: “ Hereafter, until the naval supply account shall have been reduced to a maximum sum of $150,000,000, which shall not thereafter be exceeded, one-half of all reimbursements otherwise due to the naval supply account, whether from current issues or from sales, shall be covered into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts, and only one-half shall be credited to the naval supply account.” With continued pressure for economy in all departments and the passage of such legislation, the balancing of total receipts and total expenditures for the fiscal years 1922 and 1923 should be accomplished. I also transmit herewith the report of the Director of the Bureau of the Budget on the budget of the United States and the operations of the Bureau of the Budget. The details of the budget are shown in the accompanying statements, and may be briefly summarized as follows: Budget Summary. {Exclusive of postal revenues and postal expenditures paid from postal revenues.] 1923, estimated.

N ote 1.— By continued pressure for economy and if the recommended legisla tion in connection with the naval appropriation bill for 1923, directing the reduction of the naval supply account in the sum of $100,000,000, is enacted, it is estimated that funds will be provided to balance the budget for 1923 as above. Note 2.— In 1923 war savings certificates of the par value of $5S5,000,000 will become due, It is assumed that these maturities will be met by refunding. Since these notes were discounted at the time they were sold, by prepayment of interest, the Government did not realize par upon the same to the extent of $125,000,000. It would be consistent, therefore, with conservative business prin ciples if the amount of the discount should not be permanently funded but should be retired as soon as possible out of surplus income. N ote 3.— To reconcile these totals with those shown in the Treasury Report it is necessary to add to the above figures for both receipts and expenditures for the fiscal year 1^22 the sum of $25,000,000, and for the fiscal year 1923, $7,000,000, on account of reduction of capital stock of the United States Grain Corporation. This transaction occurred after the preparation of the statement of estimated expenditures for the fiscal year 1922, made by the Secretary of the Treasury August 4, 1921, amounting to the sum of $4,550,000,000.

Concurrently with the establishment of the Bureau of the Budget the President announced his determination, to assume his full re sponsibility as the head of the governmental business organization, and directed the Director of the Bureau, in accordance with the pro visions of the budget law, to immediately suggest to him such im provements in existing governmental business methods as could be legally inaugurated by him through Executive orders. Upon the submission to him of information revealing certain defects the Presi dent decided to use the Bureau of the Budget as his first agency for imposing the pressure of an Executive plan for the unified con duct of governmental routine business and for retrenchment in governmental expenditure where consistent with efficiency. Coin cident with this also came his consideration of the principles, cus toms, and precedents which should accompany the creation by Executive order of appropriate machinery designed to create a situa tion in the affairs of the Government business corporation such as exists in every well-managed ^private corporation where the head can transmit with the minimum of obstruction and delay a unified plan of routine business to be carried out by his subordinates. The President then followed the only possible course by which, as in a private corporation, all those in authoritative relation to expenditures of Government could be impressed with an Executive plan, and on June 29, 1921, called them en masse for instruction. Xn REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET* At this meeting, attended by the Cabinet and some 500 department heads, heads of establishments, and bureau chiefs, he outlined his position, and under his instructions and in his presence the Director of the Budget explained the methods to be followed in carrying out his purpose. As a result of this meeting at the end of 30 days a reduction in expenditures for the present fiscal year (1922) was promised the Executive by the business organization in the amount of $112,512,628.32. A part of this sum was expected to be realized by actual economies and part by the deferring of expenditures to subsequent years. In this connection it should be stated that there will never be expended during a fiscal year all of the moneys appro priated for that year. A limited percentage is expended during subsequent years and a much smaller percentage is never expended, but is subsequently covered into the Treasury or reappropriated for similar or new purposes. As a result of the Executive pressure upon the departments this percentage has been largely increased, as will be apparent from the amounts here stated. On August 4, 1921, the Secretary of the Treasury stated to the Committee on Ways and Means that “ according to the latest ad vices received from the spending departments and after taking into account all estimated reductions in expenditure reported to date the Treasury estimates that the total expenditure for the fiscal year 1922 for which provision should be made out of the current revenues of the Government will be about $4,550,000,000. This in itself would mean a substantial reduction in current revenues and expenditures below' the fiscal year 1921.” At the time that this statement was made by the Secretary of the Treasury the results of the imposition of Executive pressure upon the spending departments, inaugurated at the meeting called by the President of the body of the business organization of Government, had not been fully developed. On August 10, 1921, after a confer ence, announcement was made through the Secretary of the Treasury that the administration, in cooperation with the Committee on Ways and Means, had determined to reduce the ordinary expenditures of the Government for the fiscal year 1922 by at least $350,000,000 below the revised estimates presented by the Treasury on August 4, to wit, about $235,000,000 in addition to the $112,512,628.32 above men tioned. It was also announced that the Treasury would provide for two items of estimated public debt expenditure for the fiscal year 1922 out of other public debt receipts during the year to the extent of $170,000,000. Thus the expected aggregate reduction in expenditure for the fiscal year on the above basis was announced as $520,000,000, leaving the estimated total expenditure for the fiscal year 1922 as of date August 10, 1921, about $4,034,000,000. It will be noted from the foregoing statements that the present estimated expenditures for REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XIII 1922, including sinking fund, are $3,967,922,366, thus indicating that the $520,000,000 reduction in ordinary expenditures determined upon August 10 will be exceeded by the sum of $62,000,000, making the total reduction $582,000,000. As compared with the actual total ex penditures for 1921 of $5,538,040,689.30, the total expenditures for the Government for the present fiscal year 1922 of $3,967,922,366 in volve a net reduction from all causes of $1,570,118,323.30. Further more, continued Executive pressure, affecting also the estimates for 1923, enables the budget for that fiscal year to be based upon an esti mated total expenditure of $3,505,754,727, which is a still further re duction of $462,167,639 under the estimated expenditures for 1922. The attitude and determination of the President of the United States in relation to the use of the Budget Bureau as an agency for the imposition of his policy for the reduction of governmental ex penditures not only as regards the expenditures for the fiscal year 1923 but for the present fiscal year 1922 is most important. I f he had not taken this position and action, the expenditures for 1922 and the budget herewith presented for 1923 would have been far different as regards the majority of their items. For the first time in the history of our country a national budget has been prepared based on estimates from the spending departments acting under a strong and continued Executive pressure for economy and efficiency* T H E BUDGET PRESENTED FOR TH E FISCAL TEAR 1 9 2 3 IS BASED U PON TH E A M O U N T OF CASH W H IC H M UST ACTUALLY BE W ITH D RAW N FROM THE TREASURY DURING T H A T FISCAL YEAR. In presenting the budget of the United States for the fiscal year 1923, covering the sum of $3,505,754,727, in compliance with the requirements of the budget act, the Director of the Budget has prepared it upon the basis of the amount of cash which must actually ,be withdrawn from the Treasury during the fiscal year 1923. The method of appropriation of money heretofore followed has resulted in a condition of things under which it is almost impossible for either the Executive, Congress, or the Secretary of the Treasury to have before them a true picture of the fiscal condition of the Government at any particular time. Although Congress has by stringent penal law prohibited the creation of deficiencies and clearly indicated that its annual appropriations were intended to limit the amount to be expended for such period, yet millions of dollars have been annually spent by the departments above the estimates sub mitted at the beginning of the fiscal year, and in recent years, due to the great sums appropriated in connection with the war, hun dreds of millions of dollars have been so expended, by the depart ments, a course made possible by deficiency and supplemental appro priations, the existence of revolving funds, and unexpended balances. XIV REPOET OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. The distinction between the appropriations for a given year and the actual expenditures for that year should be clearly borne in mind. Appropriations for any given year do not represent the money actually spent during that year, but are intended to cover the obligations which ure incurred in that period, part of which are paid currently and a part of which mature and are discharged in sub sequent years. Consequently the expenditures of a year must be composed of the amounts maturing in it, some of which were appro priated in previous years and some of which are covered by the current appropriations. In addition to this should be added the use of permanent and indefinite appropriations which require no annual action by Congress and funds from other sources. While the Director of the Budget presents with the estimates the information necessary to enable Congress to make its appropria tions in the former way, it is urged that if it will pass the budget providing simply for the amount actually to be expended during the fiscal year, with Executive pressure now being exerted to keep the departments within the limits of this expenditure, a continuance of the method will automatically largely eliminate the indefinite cash demands currently made in the past by departments on account of unexpended balances in addition to their current appropriations. A system by which requests for appropriations are based upon the actual need of money for disbursement during the fiscal year for which the appropriation is made will thus tend to prevent hereafter the wide, indefinite, and fluctuating margin between the expenditures for any given year and the appropriations requested of Congress to cover the same period. Again, if Congress will follow this method, it will at the end of each fiscal year of necessity direct its attention to the relative im portance of existing work and projects, considering the then state of the Government and public business, thus promoting a moi*e intelligent consideration of appropriations. Under the old system, where after the authorization of a project a continuous appropria tion was made in an amount estimated as necessary to complete it. it passed, for all practical purposes, outside the ken of Congress. It is inconceivable that as the fiscal condition of the Government changes'and as business conditions in the country change, to say nothing of the particular conditions which surround any given gov ernmental project, this annual reexamination of the project or ac tivity in connection with the advisability of passing the enabling appropriation will not be beneficial in tending toward the elimina tion of useless expenditure and waste. The fact that contracts are let by the Government which, of neces* sity, can not be completed within the fiscal year during which they are let does not imply the necessity of immediately making available REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XV to the contracting department the entire sum of money eventually to be expended on the contract. While in many instances the amount appropriated has been only that which- could properly be expended during the year for which the appropriation was made, there have been other instances in which the total amount called for by the project was appropriated at one time, without regard to the need for expenditure during the current year. No properly organized private corporation would handle its business in this way. The head of a private organization in charge of policy would have in mind, as a matter of course, his sources of revenue at the time the contract is Jet, and also the demands upon them which will result from the carry ing out of the contract. But he would not complicate his entire busi ness system by announcing to the subordinate in charge of a certain contract that he could draw indefinitely, and without notice to the head of the corporation, whatever money was necessary in carrying out its terms. On the contrary, in order to insure the best attention on the part of the subordinate to the contract, and to insure that he himself would be properly informed as to the work being done under it, he would require the one in charge of the contract to report to him periodically his need of cash to complete payments under it. It is a fallacious argument, therefore, to maintain that a continuing appro priation must accompany any contract extending beyond a single fiscal year. The whole habit of making continuous appropriations to which the Government has been committed in the past is only an encourage ment to a lack of scrutiny of public work by the head of the depart ment under which it is carried on, and an encouragement to shift lessness and carelessness on the part of the subordinates more directly concerned in it. The more rigid the system under which continuous attention to the conduct of the business of Government is made man datory on the part of Congress and the business administration the more efficient will be the conduct of Government. Finally, this system of preparing the budget will confine the at tention of the Executive, of Congress, and of the public to the one great important question, to wit, the relation of the money actually to be spent by the Government to the money actually to be received by the Government in any given year, all its outstanding obligations and indefinite commitments, projects, and enterprises considered. This will enable Congress, with more intelligence, to determine at any time both the necessity for retrenchment and the ability of the Gov ernment to engage in additional projects to be initiated by Congress outside of the budgetary provisions. There exists such a mass of undetermined liabilities arising out of unexpended appropriations of former years, and so much resulting uncertainty as to the true amount of expected receipts and expendi XVI REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. tures? that it would seem that Congress should recognize the situa tion and immediately repeal all outstanding continuous appropria tions and “ revolving funds/’ save in those cases, if any, where the particular character of governmental activity may require a limited fund as working capital, giving, of course, proper recognition to legally enforceable obligations standing against them. Thus again the relative importance of projects may have the consideration by Congress and the Executive alone made possible by this course. By such an act there will be uncovered for reconsideration a number of practically forgotten projects which are eating up money that would not be devoted to such a purpose if the present situation had been in the mind of the appropriating power when it first acted. The naval supply account fund is a conspicuous example and one as to which (because of intensive study given it) an immediate spe cific change can be recommended. This fund is the outgrowth of several acts of Congress, the latest being the act of March 1, 1921 (41 Stat., 1169). It constitutes a “ revolving fund ” or permanent working capital for procuring and issuing standard supplies, and under the legislative provision last mentioned it stood at a total on June 30,1921, of $255,476,277.54. The existence of such fund, in some reasonable amount, is un doubtedly advantageous to the Navy in many ways in permitting supplies to be purchased through one central authority at times of low prices, in eliminating competition through bids by different pur chasing agents against each other, in avoiding middlemen’s profits, and in preventing waste through deterioration. It also permits a reserve to be created and maintained, particularly of imported ma terials necessary in the event of war. The fund is kept intact in actual operation by charging against the proper appropriation the cost of supplies as and when issued to ships, etc., and at the same time crediting the fund with the same amount. The report of Col. John Stephen Sewell to the Bureau of the Budget, prepared after careful study, indicates that if the present inventory of supplies were properly balanced $150,000,000 would be a suitable amount for this fund. The present inventory, however, is not so balanced that each item bears the same proportion to the total of all items in stock as its annual consumption bears to the total con sumption of all items. To the extent that the account is used for procurement abroad of standard commercial supplies, he recommends $90,000,000 as a reasonable amount, and $60,000,000 for the balancing of the inventory and procurement of standard supplies originating in this country, a total of $150,000,000. I f this limit were to be placed upon the fund, then in three to five years $100,000,000 would be auto matically released and made available for other uses. This reduction would require action by Congress. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OP BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XVII Based upon Col. Sewell’s recommendation, and with the concur rence of the Secretary of the Navy, I therefore recommend legislation in connection with the naval appropriation bill for 1923 embracing substantially the following provision : Hereafter, until the naval supply account shall have been reduced to a maxi mum sum of $150,000,000, which shall not thereafter be exceeded, one-half of all reimbursements otherwise due to the naval supply account, whether from cur rent issues or from sales, shall be covered into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts, and only one-half shall be credited to the naval supply account. PRINCIPLES INVOLVED IN METHOD OF PREPARATION OF TH E BUDGET FOR 10 2 3 AND TH E SELECTION OF NECESSARY PERSONNEL IN TH E BUREAU OF TH E BUDGET. In preparing the budget the director has availed himself of advice and experience from every available source, both inside and outside the Government agencies. He has received generous and valuable assistance from both the Bureau of Efficiency and the Institute for Government Research. The aim has been to submit the facts re quired in the different portions of the act in the most simple, con densed, and easily understood form consistent with full and accurate information. The statements include all ‘ordinary expenses of the governmental operations proper and so much of the public-debt expenditures as is required to be made in the year out of the current revenue; that is to say, the sinking fund and debt expenditures out of receipts especially earmarked for the purpose. The statements do not include publicdebt obligations intended to provide for maturing obligations by new loans or refunding operations. This information appears later in the balanced statements of Treasury operations furnished under other subsections or paragraphs of section 201. The attempt is made in this table only to reach a comparison in summary form between the ordinary receipts and the grand total of the expenditures which have to be met out of ordinary receipts. This summary statement is followed by detailed statements of expenditures arranged, first, in the order and amounts of expendi tures by departments, and, second, with relation to the objects of expenditure; and these in turn are followed by a detailed analysis of the revenues from the various sources of Government income. The budget concludes with a statement in detail of appropriations requested by the several departments for the fiscal year 1923 as revised by the bureau. This takes the place of the former Book of Estimates. In the budget the estimates follow the same order and arrangement as the appropriation acts for the fiscal year 1922, in order to enable a more ready and accurate comparison by Congress between the 77891— 21------ ii XVIII REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. appropriations for the two years. This form and order is changed in the alternative budget so that all appropriations for any given department may appear together in one appropriation bill or chapter of the bill. It is understood that the committees of Congress have been rearranged for the purpose of considering the alternative budget in this form. This rearrangement, together with a continual revi sion of the wording of the estimates eliminating useless duplication, is in itself a decided step in advance and will gradually reduce into a more workable document the departmental estimates. Between the period of September 15, at which date he receives the details of the desired appropriations for 1923, and December 1, the Director of the Budget was expected, under the provisions and spirit of the budget act, to so pass upon the appropriations re quested as to 'enable him to express an intelligent opinion in con nection therewith to the President of the United States. The mere statement of the fact that there are submitted to him the items of desired expenditures on the part of 41 departments and independent establishments of Government, each with its perplexing problems and many separate items of requests requiring investigation and dis cussion, will indicate the difficulties of the situation. Under the provisions of the law the budget officers are appointed by the heads of the respective departments and independent estab lishments of the Government. The assumption underlying the law probably is that through officers acquainted by contact with the business of their respective organizations, and acting under the supervision of their chiefs, the Director of the Budget could secure that information upon which it would become possible for him to base intelligent recommendations to the President in connection with the adjustment, increase, or curtailment of departmental demands. At the same time the law recognizes the desirability and necessity for impartiality in connection with the consideration of the re quests of each department. In fact, the whole law is based upon such an assumption, and the recognition of the necessity for this by Congress has resulted in the creation of the Budget Bureau. As he found it necessary, it was, therefore, in accordance with the spirit of the law that the Director of the Budget, in considering the requests made by the departments and establishments for appro priations, and the reports of the respective budget officers of the departments, interjected wherever possible a consideration by an impartial mind. The recommendations made in the present budget, herewith submitted, are not, therefore, those of the Director of the Budget, following simply the interpretation of departmental needs made by the department head and a budget officer responsible to him, but they are also made after approval of impartial investiga REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XIX tors representing the Director of the Budget and acting under his authority. Even if the Director of the Budget had not done this, still the ma chinery of the budget law, used as an agency for Executive pressure, would have produced a great improvement over the old system in connection with appropriations, for it must be remembered that, for the first time in our history, departmental heads and budget officers have been making estimates of their necessities after a strong impo sition of an Executive policy of retrenchment preceding the prepara tion of the estimates. The importance of this can not be overstated. The reductions in expenditures outlined in the budget herewith pre sented are largely due to the proper interpretation of the President’s policy by the heads of departments and the budget officers. Under the budget law as it now stands the work of intelligent busi ness revision of appropriations involving the expenditure of over $3,000,000,000 must be done by the Director of the Budget, the as sistant director, four advisers of the director’s selection, to be com pensated at the rate of $6,000 per year, the balance of the organization being secured under civil-service rules at salaries not exceeding $5,000 per year. The Director of the Budget has no hesitation in stating that this could not have been done this year, and in the future it can not be so accomplished without recourse to personnel already in the Govern ment employ, no matter to what extent the appropriations or salary limitations involved in the law might be increased. The Director of the Budget was fortunate in being able to call in a body of business men who, at a time of emergency in the Government’s business affairs, responded to that patriotic instinct characteristic of every good American and left their business to become Federal employees at $1 per year. The Director of the Budget has also been assisted by Members of Congress and others whose connection with gov ernmental business affairs in the past enabled them to give in valuable practical advice in connection with the estimates. As a result of this experience the Director of the Budget is satisfied that the solution of the problem of intelligent revision of appropriations is to be found, as usual, in the principles recognized in a successful private enterprise. The Director of the Budget, as the adviser of the President, who is the head of the Government business corporation, must have the advice of those who are experienced in the conduct of the business, by practical and continuous contact with it. Their advice, however, should be impartial and given in terms of the President’s policy, dis tinguished from the necessarily partial viewpoint of one connected authoritatively with the given activity. This must be accomplished by drawing upon the personnel of the different departments in build ing up the organization of the Bureau of the Budget, selecting such XX REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. men as have shown in the preparation and revision of the estimates for 1923 their qualifications for this important work. It is necessary that all connected with the Bureau of the Budget realize fully the fact that they are responsible, under the Director of the Budget, solely and alone to Executive authority, so that the President of the United States, through the Director of the Budget, may have truly impartial as well as accurate and authoritative information upon which to base Executive policy. This principle must also be recog nized and its necessity understood by the heads of the departments from which such personnel is drawn. It may be necessary in some cases to obtain this personnel by detail for a probationary period, in order to fully confirm the qualifications of the man in question, before transferring him to the Bureau of the Budget. The Director of the Budget, becoming acquainted progressively with the business of the Government and with the men carrying it on, will thus have built up an organization of experienced assistants, which organization could not be duplicated in any other way, even with greatly increased appropriations by Congress. Selection for this work, responsible as it is directly to the President of the United States, should be looked upon by the body of the organization as a high appreciation on the part of the Executive of the ability, char acter, and competence of the men selected. Such a plan is that pur sued in all successful business organizations of calling into contact with the executive and his agents the impartial minds from the business organizations best qualified to aid in thinking in terms of policy for the entire institution as distinguished from any particular portion of it. The temporary service so splendidly rendered in this formative period by minds drafted from among the leading business men of the country is being gradually taken up by men selected from the various departments who have been found qualified to continue the work. The Director of the Budget states without hesitation that the Government has at its command among the existing staff of its business organization men of the high ability demanded who, because of their large experience, it would be impossible to match, what ever the compensation involved, by recourse to outside employment. These men in the office will be assigned particular departments, between which and the Budget Bureau they will function continu ously as liaison officers. Charged with the duty of thinking in terms of the President’s policy, they will bring to the heads of the departments and the chiefs of bureaus with whom they will be in continual contact a better realization of how the plan of their par ticular department can be made to better accord with the plan which the President has established for the Government as a whole. Con tinued contact with the departments, moreover, will enable them the REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XXI more intelligently to advise the Executive, through the Budget Bureau, upon the irreducible minimum of expenditures beyond which, with a due regard for efficiency, the Executive will not de sire to go. With the passage of time this body of practical advisers will improve in efficiency and effectiveness, and the estimates of the Budget Bureau in consequence will be received with continually in creasing confidence by the Executive and by Congress. The fact that these men will not be political employees, coupled with the fact that the administration of the Bureau of the Budget must be entirely nonpartisan, will tend to establish in the minds of all that the Budget Bureau is only an agent of ordinary routine business, work ing alone for economy and efficiency, and not at all as an adjunct of party or administration. The Director of the Budget desires to express his sincere appre ciation of the invaluable service in connection with revision of the estimates of the first budget rendered by the following gentlemen, who, at the nominal compensation of $1 per year, accepted appoint ment as advisers and gave unstintingly of their time and labor. They have had a most important part in the work of the bureau: A. R. Barnes, Chandler B. Beach, R. Floyd Clinch, Henry M. Dawes, Rufus C. Dawes, A . J. Earling, Samuel M. Felton, Floyd Charles Furlow, E. F. Mack, Alexander H. Revell, Col. John S. Sewell, Hon. Lawrence Y . Sherman, Ernest J. Stevens. FU N CTION S OF T H E BUREAU OF T H E BUDGET. There is a tendency on the part of many to assume that the Bu reau of the Budget is established primarily for the sake of reducing expenses. The Bureau of the Budget is designed, through its facili ties for securing information, to be in a position to give impartial advice to the President and to Congress in all matters regarding the proper business functioning of Government. Because at the time of the establishment of the Budget Bureau there was a great neces sity existing for the reduction of governmental expenses, and since under the old decentralized system of governmental business great ex travagance existed, the activities of the bureau which became most prominent were those where it acted as an agent for the imposition of Executive pressure in forcing down expenditures where not in contravention of congressional mandate and efficiency,. ^This is but one function of the Budget Bureau* It must be as willing to advise an increase in appropriations where the same is clearly in the interest of governmental efficiency and true economy as it is to advise reductions in expenses, which at the pres ent time are so necessary. It;is only by this method, under which it gives an impartial business judgment as to the necessity for ex XXII REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. penditures and the functioning of Government, that it can, in the long run, maintain its proper influence with the Executive and with Congress and justify its existence. RECEPTION OF THE BUDGET BY CONGRESS. - In possession, under the Constitution, of the sole power of appro priation, Congress, in passing the budget law, has created an agency to assist in securing for its benefit impartial information from proper sources in connection with its intelligent consideration of appropriations. In the complete supervision of the budget which Congress of necessity must exercise in connection with the appro priating power the Budget Bureau will be of assistance in pro portion as its work is in "accord with the principles of common sense and correct business. It should be nonpartisan, impartial, and im personal, and so operated as to create that impression upon the mind of Congress. To the extent that it can, through the mainte nance of the necessary machinery for accurate preliminar}^ investi gation, make proper recommendations concerning the estimates to the President it will deserve and doubtless receive the approval of the Congress. The presentation by the President of the budget to Congress, as revised by him after receipt from the Director of the Budget, should create in any given matter of appropriations more than a prima facie case in the mind of Congress. Provided the bureau functions prop erly it should create a strong presumption that any particular case had been properly investigated and all the reductions recommended in connection with the expenditure involved which are possible with out material interference with governmental efficiency. It is to be expected that since the preliminary estimates have been made under pressure by the Executive for proper retrenchment, where consistent with efficiency, it will not be necessary, as heretofore, for Congress to make radical cuts upon the estimates of the budget with any un certainty as to what will be the result as it affects efficiency. The President of the United States, when he sends the budget to Congress, is presumed to send it with all the reductions in expenditures which can be effected without undue impairment of governmental business processes. In the preparation of the budget he has had at work an authorized agency in the bureau not only in ascertaining the reason ableness of desired appropriations but in continually imposing pres sure upon the departments for a reduction in the estimates wherever proper and possible. The examination by Congress of the items of the budget as recommended by the President in the same spirit in which he presents them will make impossible the recrudescence of the former condition of things, in which departmental officers have REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XXIII habitually made their estimates for a greater sum than they expected to receive from Congress. The course of Congress in the past in making radical reductions in the estimates presented has been the only protection which the public has had against departmental extravagance. There is now the pro tection afforded by Executive supervision of estimate making. The Bureau of the Budget is simply a business organization whose ac tivities are devoted constantly to the consideration of how money appropriated by Congress can be made to go as far as possible toward the accomplishment of the objects of legislation. I f it functions properly, it has not and can never have any purpose but that of the Executive and Congress in seeking the imposition, thrqughout the Government administration, of correct business principles in routine business administration. The investigations of Congress, made in connection with its constitutional power over appropriations, are an invaluable and indispensable protection to the public. Nothing but a wicked interposing of partisan motives into the discussion of that which is fundamentally a business question can make congressional investigations into public expenditures anything but beneficial. By a proper functioning the Budget Bureau in time should create such a feeling of confidence in its effectiveness as to make it continually of greater assistance to Congress in their consideration of appro priations. USE OF TH E BUREAU OF T H E BUDGET BY TH E CHIEF EXECUTIVE AS A N AGENCY FOR IMPROVING ROUTINE BUSINESS OF TH E GOVERNMENT. A. THE FAULTS TO BE CORKECTED. Heretofore our Government, in routine business administration, has labored under difficulties analogous to those of a private corpora tion in which— First, the president of the corporation gave practically no atten tion to its ordinary routine business. He avoided his responsibility for the proper conduct of the business of the corporation, and neither assumed nor delegated active control over it. Second, the administrative vice presidents of the corporation were allowed to run their several departments without any enforced con tact in the discussion of routine business matters of the corporation and as if each separate department was an independent authority in all matters of routine business. Third, because of the lack of any outlined business plan, resulting from the absence of executive pressure and supervision, the several departments operated with almost an entire lack of coordination. No system existed for making purchases or in selling material along business lines under a unified policy. A lack of material or facili XXIV REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET* ties on the part of any one department resulted in no adequate search being made for the existence of such supplies or facilities in the hands of another department, which might be available. In almost every case recourse was had to the open market. Fourth, the corporation was not operated for profit, and its prin cipal funds for operating expenses were obtained by a levy upon stockholders (an appeal to Congress for an appropriation, involving a collection through taxes or imposts). Fifth, no balance sheet of the corporation as a whole was ever pre pared. No complete inventories of its properties existed. No state ment of its current assets, such as salable material and current sup plies, had ever been made, nor was there any easy method existing of securing it. Sixth, when cash was placed by the stockholders at the disposal of the corporation for its purposes, the custom was to notify the different departments that a certain amount of credit was available with the treasurer of the corporation, to be drawn upon as might be necessary to meet any estimated expenditure involved. Each department would then enter upon its books the amount of cash allotted to it with which to pay for its projects, against which it had the right to currently draw. The treasurer, however, kept no accurate account of these con tingent obligations, which eventually crystallized into cash demands upon him, thus resulting in money being drawn from him continually in excess of the estimated annual running expenses. Nothing but very rough estimates could be secured at any time by the treasurer as to what the cash demands upon him in any given year would be, since to the estimates for annual running expenses was to be added an in definite amount of money demands arising out of former commit ments. Seventh, as a result of all this, the corporation, in effect, seldom reconsidered an unwise project entered into by any department. The custom grew up among the departments of the corporation to regard it as an obligation upon the part of each to spend any levy made for its benefit without reporting to the president of the corporation, to its directors, or to the stockholders as to whether continued expendiure upon the project was wise under any given new set of circum stances. Eighth, so firmly embedded in the minds and in the affections of the administrative heads of the departments became the feeling of independence of an executive control, owing to its complete lack of exercise, that conferences looking toward the correction of evils aris ing out of a lack of coordination in the business were apparently avoided lest out of that contact information would develop which might stimulate the head of the corporation to an invasion of the independent control of the deepartments. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XXV Ninth, the administrative heads of the departments of the corpora tion were selected, as a rule, with less reference to their business qualifications than to their qualifications as advisers to the president of the corporation along other lines than routine business adminis tration. At the inception of their appointment they were intro duced to a business with which they were generally unfamiliar and were compelled to rely largely upon the advice of subordinates who Avere wedded to the theory of the right of independent operation of a department. The tenure of their administration was often less than four years. As a rule, they became the earnest advocates of depart mental plans which their inexperience in departmental business pre vented them from fully comprehending in all their aspects. Being held to no responsibility by the executive head to operate their de partments along a unified corporation policy in routine business, they became, therefore, in general, only a shelter and protection for the independent operation of departments. Instead of becoming conduits, as in the properly run corporation, for the imposition of an executive plan, made in the interests of the corporation as a whole, upon the body of the business administration, they became, of neces sity, more or less of an obstruction to the occasional flow of execu tive authority in routine business. Their general position was, of necessity, determined by the advice of those operating the depart ment under the theory that it was independent, while there existed no one to place before them the necessities of the corporation consid ered as a whole. Tenth, the subordinate members of a departmental organization of the corporation were encouraged to state the needs of their particu lar subdivision of their department directly to the agency of the corporation (Congress), which made the desired levy upon the stock holders (the public). This custom, in violation of all the rules gov erning the correct functioning of the successful corporation, tended to increase the confidence of these subordinate officials in opposing any change operating to subordinate departmental control in rou tine business to an executive control of the corporation. Eleventh, a general public interest in the operations of the cor poration encouraged subordinate members of its business organiza tion, including its administrative vice presidents, in making pro grams of business and expenditure to consider their relation to pop ular approval, whether right or wrong, thus often foreclosing a question of policy which was properly in the purview of the presi dent of the corporation alone. A premium was often placed upon the expenditure of money as distinguished from its saving, since un informed public approval is often reserved for activity arid appar ent enterprise in extending the corporation’s functions, irrespective of their wisdom. XXVI REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. Practically all of the last ten defects of the corporation were the direct result of the first one, to wit, that the president of the corpora tion gave practically no attention to its ordinary routine business. B. THE COORDINATING AGENCIES ESTABLISHED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER FAULTS IN THE ROUTINE BUSINESS OF GOVERNMENT. TO RECTIFY For the imposition of unified methods in the ordinary business of the Government the President has established, by Executive order, the following agencies, which are engaged in coordinating, in all matters of routine business, the activities of the separate departments and establishments: , First, the Federal Purchasing Board. On the Federal Purchasing Board there is detailed the chief purchasing officer of each depart ment or establishment, with a chief coordinator as chairman, named by the President. The chief coordinator has the authority, limited by a right of appeal in case of any difference in opinion, to impose co ordinating orders. He can thus prevent competition between the dif ferent departments in outside purchases, not only by preventing them from raising the price on each other, but where large quantities of standard commodities are to be purchased, by ordering one depart ment to execute the purchase for itself and as agent for the others. By Executive order it was directed that in each executive depart ment and independent establishment of the Government there shall be a director of purchases and a director of sales, who shall coordi nate all activities involving purchases and sales within their re spective departments and be in direct liaison with the chief coordina tor. These directors of purchases and sales are subject to call by the chief coordinator for conference in all matters involving the co ordination of sales and purchases in the various departments of the Government service. This was the system adopted in the American Expeditionary Forces. It is the exact system existing in many large private industries which have been formed by the amalgamation of original units located in different parts of the country. The power in shaping a unified purchasing policy for the Govern ment is as great as that which would be possessed by a central or ganization which would take over all Government purchases, but with this great advantage over a central organization— that there is no interference with the pressure from a point of departmental sup ply necessity upon a procurement agent,directly responsible to it. Even where there is a coordinating order imposed, a representative of the head of the department which needs supplies is alwajrs able to interpret its necessities, both as regards speed in delivery and location of delivery. Again, the coordinating control does not interfere in a multitude of small purchase'transactions by the department where the ques REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XXVII tion of competition is not involved. A central purchasing agency for the Government of the United States which would assume to take over the procurement and distribution of all Government sup plies would be a complete failure. Not only has the Federal Pur chasing Board proved already by its successful operation its adapt ability to the necessities of the situation, but the principles which govern it have been tested out by years of recognition in practice by private business enterprises. Second, the Federal Liquidation Board, created in accordance with the same principles and form of organization, is now coordi nating sales, under a unified plan, of the large surplus stocks of the various departments of the Government. It is composed of one rep resentative from each department or establishment having sales activity, presided over by the chief coordinator, general supply. The decisions of the chief coordinator, general supply, as to any coordinating action is final, subject only to appeal to the head of his department by any member. The importance of the work of this board is self-evident. Under the old system, where surplus stocks were sold by the independent departments irrespective of each other an absurd and demoralizing situation existed. It was the custom of the independent departments to sell their surplus stocks with practically no reference to the needs of the other departments for the material sold. In some cases property was sold at public auction by one department, purchased by an outsider, who then reisold it at large profit to another department of Government. A t the time of the institution of this board departments were in the open market for large amounts of material which were on hand in the other departments. An enormous loss has resulted to the Government from this condition of things. The Federal Liquidation Board formulates policies and plans de signed to knit the activities of the several departments and estab lishments concerned with the liquidation of stocks into a Federal business association to bring about business methods calculated effectively to safeguard the interests of the Government. Third, the organization of corps area coordinators. For the pur pose of making a practical extension of the principles involved in the Federal Purchasing Board and Federal Liquidation Board over the entire country a system of corps area coordinators has been created. The points of location of Government stocks are so scat tered, and the diffusion of the points of purchasing activities so great, that central boards at Washington would be unable to cope with the situation without representation at all centers of govern mental purchasing and sale activities. Accordingly, for convenience, the territory of the United States was divided into nine areas, corre sponding to the nine Army corps areas, and in each area an official XXVIII REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. was selected by the President by detail from a department, who is known as the coordinator for general supplies for the several execu tive departments and independent establishments having activities in that area. It is to be noted that these corps area coordinators are responsible to the chief coordinator, general supply, and through him to the President of the United States, and not to the heads of the departments and independent establishments. They locate and inspect surplus accumulations of Government stocks, regardless of whether or not these stocks have been reported surplus by the de partments, and report thereon to the chief coordinator, general sup ply, Washington, D. C., as well as to the head of the department, having particular reference to the existence of accumulated stocks which appear to be in excess of reasonable reserves or current needs. In connection with the immensely important matter of interde partmental transfer of surplus stocks, the neglect of which in the past has involved the United States Government in the loss of hun dreds of millions of dollars, the corps area coordinators play a most important part in determining the field needs of the separate de partments and establishments. They extend the power to insure uniformity in prices received and sales effected in the corps area. They exercise general supervision over the purchase functions of the several departments and establishments in their section. They have the power to fix, over the head of the department, the price of the commodity involved in interdepartmental transfer, which, of course, is simply a matter of bookkeeping, but which, under the old system of independent functioning between the departments, proved a great obstacle to the transfer of property. In short, this corps area organization, together with the Federal Purchasing Board and the Federal Liquidation Board, the latter two located at Washington, enables the entire purchase and supply situation throughout the country to be properly handled. Fourth, the surveyor genera] of real estate determines, subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, as provided by law, in what manner and to what extent the premises of the Government of the United States outside of the District of Columbia shall be oc cupied and used, by what departments, bureaus or offices, and estab lishments. He has the power to assign and reassign rooms therein to all such Federal officials, clerks, and employees as in his judgment and discretion should be thus supplied, but he makes no assignment or reassignment until after full and complete conference with the head of the particular service directly concerned. He has the power to abrogate or terminate existing leases by negotiation or by notice or other action thereunder. No leases for Government uses for a period of longer than one year or for an annual rental of more than $500 REPOET OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XXIX can be made except upon approval of the surveyor general of real estate and the Secretary of the Treasury. The creation of this power in the surveyor general of real estate by Executive order prevents the large waste occasioned by renting from private owners space which the Government, in its buildings, already has at its disposal. In this power to determine what changes should be made in the interest of economical and efficient use of lands, buildings, and portions of buildings for the benefit of the General Government, he is assisted by the area coordinators, general supply, who report to him the necessary information as to real estate holdings under ownership or lease which are located in their corps areas. Fifth, Federal motor transport agent. A general survey of the motor transport situation throughout the United States revealed the fact that the rule of absolute fixed assignments of motor vehicles to executive departments and independent establishments of the Government was handicapping the Government in the use of its motor transport. The motor transport of a department might be overtaxed when there were motor vehicles standing idle in another department. Civilian trucks were being hired when a department was confronted by an emergency when the same service could be performed within the limits of the Government service itself. In the different corps areas of the country the coordination of motor transport will be put into effect by the area coordinators, general sup ply, upon the approval of the plan by the chief coordinator, general supply, at Washington. The head of each department or establish ment names a representative under the corps area coordinator for each area in which the department or establishment has motor vehicles in operation. The District of Columbia has been made a separate area for the purpose of coordinating motor transportation. A coordinator for motor transport has been designated for that dis trict and large savings are being currently effected by these or ganizations. Sixth, the Federal Traffic Board. The overlapping of .service and duplication of effort are nowhere more apparent than in the con duct of the traffic business of the Government. The expert, Mr. E. C. Caples, who examined this situation for the Director of the Budget, estimates that the Government’s transportation bill annually is ap proximately $200,000,000. In the present situation no attention is given to the proper classification of articles shipped by the United States, and Government classification is out of line with commercial business. Government property should be relisted under commercial names. Kaw materials should be billed out as raw materials and not as finished products. The classification committees of the rail roads in specifying rates applicable to the thousands of articles listed in the classification have given the Government little or no XXX REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. consideration as to the volume or nature of its business. The sav ings to be effected through proper handling of the Government’s traffic, including reclassification, the correct routing of its business, and a reduction in number of the various rate groups and depart mental traffic departments, is difficult to compute, but should be very large. The Federal Traffic Board is established under the chief coordi nator, general supply. Its activities are directed by its chairmen, under the title of coordinator for traffic, who shall, under the general direction of the chief coordinator for general supply, select the committees for the board and direct the time and place for their meetings. The head of each department and establishment making shipments from time to time shall designate one representative to serve as a member of the board. The classification of commodities and the instructions governing shipments and methods of settling transportation accounts, approved by the coordinator for traffic, shall, as far as applicable and in conformity with law, be binding upon and govern all departments, bureaus, agencies, and offices of the Government in all shipments made by them. A ll questions pertaining, to the classification of materials, or terminal switch ing, freight rates, etc., which require the application of remedial measures, will be submitted to the coordinator for traffic either for adjustment with the classification committees representing the carrier or for the presentation of a complaint with the In terstate Commerce Commission. The decision of the chief coordi nator, general supply, shall be final in the event of disagreement as to classifications, instructions governing shipments, and methods of settling transportation accounts, subject only to an appeal to the head of the department concerned. A committee composed of practical railroad men will be consulted in connection with securing from the carriers cooperation in impos ing coordination in Government traffic as regards classifications and economical methods. Seventh, the Federal Board of Hospitalization. The total appro priations in 1921 for the administration of the Veterans’ Bureau, the office of the Surgeon General of Public Health, the Surgeon General of the Army, the Surgeon General of the Navy, the Superintendent of Prisons, the president Board of Managers National Home for Dis abled Volunteer Soldiers, aggregate $745,985,292. Of this amount, ‘p489,000,000 were paid in pensions, leaving as a total expenditure outside of pensions, $256,985,292. There are engaged in the functions of these bureaus 47,512 people, with a total cost of salaries for 1921 of $85,430,177. In these departments at the present time, including the Army and Navy, the United States is feeding and housing about 500,000 people. The property under their control represents hun REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XXXI dreds of millions of dollars. It is necessary that the expenditures of these great departments should be coordinated, thus preventing over lapping of service, extra ownership of supplies, overemployment, unnecessary rentals, prevention of unnecessary installation, and various other incidental matters which naturally pertain to such large activities. The Federal Board of Hospitalization is created for that purpose. The duty of the board is : (a) To consider all questions relative to the coordination of hos pitalization of the departments represented. (&) To standardize requirements, to expedite the interdepartmental use of existing Government facilities, to eliminate duplication in the purchase of supplies, and the erection of buildings. ( c) To formulate plans designed to knit together in proper co ordination the activities of the several departments and establish ments, with a view to safeguarding the interests of the Government and to increasing the usefulness and efficiency of the several organiza tions, and to report to the President thereon. The chief coordinator of the Federal Board of Hospitalization presides over the board and is responsible for its efficiency and for developing its activities along practical lines. After a full discussion of any question by the board, the decision of the chief coordinator of the board will be final as to any action to be taken or any policy to be pursued, but any member may appeal from the decision of the chief coordinator of the Federal Board of Hospitalization to his own immediate superior. The recommendations of the board will be carried into effect by the head of the department or establishment directly concerned. Eighth, the Federal Specifications Board. A Federal specifica tions board has been created, of which the Director of the Bureau of Standards, Department of Commerce, is ex officio chairman. The head of each department and establishment purchasing materials or services in accordance with specifications prepared in such depart ment designates one representative to serve as a member of the Fed eral specifications board. The duty of the board is to compile and adopt standard specifications for materials and services, and to bring specifications into harmony with the best commercial practice wher ever conditions permit, bearing in mind the desirability of broaden ing the field of supply. In event of disagreement on specifications, or on methods of procedure, the case will be submitted to the chief coordinator, general supply, whose decision shall be final as to the action taken, subject only to appeal to the head of the department concerned. There was formerly in existence an interdepartmental standardiza tion committee composed of representatives of the following depart XXXII REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. ments: War Department, Navy Department, Treasury Department, Department of Agriculture, Department of the Interior, Post Office Department, Panama Canal, Shipping Board, United States Em ployees’ Compensation Commission, Commissioners of the District of Columbia, and Department of Commerce. The findings of this committee as to a common specification are in the nature of what is called <£a recommended specification.” No one had the authority to approve and make mandatory the adoption of such specification by the various departments of the Government; neither was there any authority competent to settle the case on its merits in the event of a disagreement. There is also in existence a committee on the standardization of petroleum specifications, authorized by Executive order dated July 31, 1918. The Federal Board for the Standardization of Specifications will take up and carry to a prompt conclusion a complete survey of all existing specifications, with a view to the adoption of common speci fications where more than one now exists for a particular commodity. Ninth, the interdepartmental board of contracts and adjustments. This board is in process of formation, and a description of its pro posed functions and field of activity is contained in the Executive order just issued for its establishment, as follows: 1. Without limiting in any manner the jurisdiction or authority of heads of executive departments and independent establishments over the subject matter of Government contracts as the same is now defined by law, but for the pur pose of standardizing contract forms, securing the adoption of uniform policies as regards construction work and uniform practices of interpretation and nego tiations both preceding and following the actual execution of such contracts, there is hereby established in the office of the chief coordinator, general supply, a board to be known as the interdepartmental board of contracts and adjust ments, the members and functions of which board shall be as follows: 2. The head of each executive department, including the Department of Justice, shall organize a department board made up of one representative of each bureau having the independent right to enter into contracts on behalf of the United States. Such department board shall recommend policies to control in the standardization of contracts within such department. They shall choose from their number a chairman and any other necessary officers. 3. The chairman of the several department boards, together with a repre sentative designated by the head of any independent establishment now authorized by law to enter into important contracts, and the chief coordinator, general supply, shall constitute the interdepartmental board of contracts and adjustments, and shall serve without additional compensation. ‘ REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XXXIIi 4. This board shall be presided over by a chairman, who shall be the repre sentative of the Secretary of the Treasury. The chairman shall, upon being advised of the complete membership, call the members of the board together for purposes of organization. The board shall adopt such by-laws and appoint such committees and subcommittees as may be deemed advisable and necessary to accomplish the end sought. 5. The functions of this board shall be— First, to standardize in general, wherever possible, the forms and methods of contract letting, to the end that a uniform policy on the part of the Govern ment may control the making of such contracts, and with a further view to such changes in the form thereof as will tend to enlist the interest of the con tractor on behalf of economy and promptness of execution and eliminate those uncertainties of construction and hazards to be assumed by the contractor which have hitherto operated to increase the cost of Government work and supplies. Second, to recommend general policies in the settlement of outstanding obli gations arising out of contracts of the United States, such as methods of de termining and enforcing damages, of settling disputes as to questions of fact, and of determining the final compensation of contractors. Third, in an advisory capacity and when requested by the head of any de partment or establishment or his representative upon the board—■ (а) To review and revise important contracts and agreements made or about to be made on behalf of the United States. (б) To advise officers authorized to contract and operating under contract as to the proper interpretation of contracts in process of execution. (t?) To assist in the negotiation of important contracts and agreements relat ing to personal services, supplies, or construction work. G. The chairman of the board is charged with the responsibility for the efficient working thereof and for its development along the practical lines above indicated, and in such other ways as may become apparent after full study of the situation by the board or any committee thereof. After a full discussion of any question by the board and a full opportunity to the members to be heard thereon, the decision of the chairman will be final as to the action to be taken or the policy to be pursued. But any member may appeal therefrom to the head of his department or establishment, who shall have final authority in the matter. The chairman of the board may detail an assistant to sit with the board to represent him in matters of routine. The General Supply Committee was created by section 4 of the act of June 17, 1910 (36 Stat., 531), which directed the Secretary of the Treasury to advertise and contract for all supplies of fuel, ice, station ery, and other miscellaneous supplies for the executive departments and other Government establishments in Washington, D. C., when the public exigency did not require the immediate delivery of the article. By Executive order of December 10, 1918, the General Sup ply Committee was designated as the agent through which the han dling and transfer of surplus office material, supplies, and equip ment of the executive departments and other establishments of the Government in the District of Columbia should be carried out, and the Executive order of September 3, 1919, extended this activity of the General Supply Committee to the field services outside of the 77891— 21------ in XXXIV REPORT OF DIRECTOR OP BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. District of Columbia. These Executive orders provided that pur chase in the open market should not be made of any materials or supplies which could be obtained through the General Supply Committee. The General Supply Committee, functioning under this act and these orders, handled large quantities of surplus materials and sup plies for the Government departments and establishments, but it could deal only with those articles which were reported to it as surplus and had not definite means of enforcing the obvious inten tions of the regulations where the materials or supplies available differed slightly from those required. With the establishment of the chief coordinator, general supply, the Federal Purchasing Board and the Federal Liquidation Board, the General Supply Committee, working in the closest cooperation with these agencies, has been of material assistance in working out practical operating systems, and has in return received great assist ance in the matter of locating surplus supplies which in some cases had not been yet reported surplus, as well as in securing the accept ance of materials and supplies differing slightly from the original request where this would result in preventing a purchase in the open market. This is unquestionably resulting in greatly increased economies in the matter of interdepartmental transfer of materials and sup plies, thereby eliminating the necessity for many open-market purchases. RELATION OF T H E COORDINATING M A C H IN E R Y TO TH E CHIEF EXECUTIVE, TO TH E DIRECTOR OF T H E BUDGET, AND TO TH E BUSINESS ORGANIZA TION OF GOVERNMENT. Where the statutes of the United States prescribe methods to be followed in governmental business administration they, of course, limit Executive discretion by their terms, but in all routine business of government, where a method is not prescribed by law, it follows of necessity that methods may be imposed by the Executive, as in all other forms of business organization. An Executive regulation covering governmental business methods is simply a formula in which a method of conducting business is outlined in an order. The executive powers which the President has invoked in the establishment of coordinating machinery for the unifying of gov ernmental business are therefore only those inherent in the position of the head of the Government business administration, where not limited by law. The Executive orders creating these agencies are signed by the President and are announced through the Budget Bureau. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XXXV In any discussion of these agencies created through Executive order by the President to assist him in the imposition of a unified plan for the transaction of the routine business of the Government it can not be too strongly emphasized that they are concerned only with routine business and not with matters of governmental policy. Policies of government are determined by the Executive and by Congress. When Congress passes a law appropriating money for the cost of governmental activities and projects it becomes the duty of the Executive, in so far as these expenditures are concerned, to see that the money is devoted to the objects of appropriation in the most economical and efficient manner possible. These coordinating agencies established by the Executive are for the sole purpose of enabling the President in matters of routine business to so coordi nate the activities of the different departments and establishments as will insure the most efficient and economical expenditure of the money appropriated by Congress. The powers they exercise, the questions which they consider, the circumference of their activities are all concerned fundamentally with the routine of business meth ods as distinguished from anything in the nature of governmental policy. They operate simply as a mechanism to make more effective the policy adopted by Congress and the Executive. These agencies, concerned alone with efficient and economical methods, should operate in the same manner whatever the political changes which may occur in administration. Like the Budget Bu reau and other agencies for the imposition of business policy, they are impersonal, impartial, and nonpartisan. They can never prop erly become the subject of partisan dissension. They must exist as agents concerned with routine methods of business at the disposal of the Executive and Congress indefinitely. I f they are not kept in existence there will be an immediate reversion to the demoralizing lack of coordination among the independent departments and es tablishments which has obtained in the governmental business ad ministration in the past. Made up from the continuing body of public employees and con cerned simply with the unification of the business machine, their sphere is one outside of politics and of general policy and in the realm alone of business common sense. These agencies derive their authority solely from the President, but the same reasons of convenience and efficiency which led the President to use the machinery of the Budget Bureau in connection with the imposition of Executive business policy upon the business administration make advisable d, close supervisory contact between the Director of the Budget and the coordinating agencies created by Executive order now in operating existence. The condition of gov XXXYI REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. ernmental business administration, developed by the investigations of the Budget Bureau, brought to the attention of the President, re sulted in his decision to establish them. They are concerned, as is the Director of the Budget, with a bird’s-eye view of the Government business situation and with the doing of business in terms of a single Government and its interests as distinguished from, but con sistent with, the interests of the separate departments and establish ments. To strengthen their supervisory relations to the separate de partments and establishments they need a constant and sympathetic liaison between themselves and the President of the United States, who is the source of their authority. I f in the future there should at any time come into office an Execu tive indifferent to the operation of the Government as a business machine there would, under the immutable laws of human nature, immediately spring up an effort on the part of the independent de partments and establishments at first to curtail and restrict the ac tivities of the coordinating agencies and then to wipe them out of existence. The fact that this country may be so unfortunate as to pass through an Executive administration indifferent to its obliga tions to apply correct business principles to the functioning of Gov ernment business makes it a supreme duty for the President to now protect as completely as possible, by Executive regulation, by custom, and by his authority, the coordinating agencies recently created by him. The Director of the Budget, being of necessity not only under the law but under the practical exigencies of the situation, in close con tact with the President of the United States in all matters of routine business policy, becomes the natural agent for the interpretation of the situation and needs of these coordinating agencies to the Presi dent. It is essential, too, that the Director of the Budget, charged with the duty of advice to the President in connection with the eco nomical and efficient operation of the Government in its ordinary business, should himself have the closest contact with them, since through them alone can he be properly advised as to correct business and interdepartmental relations. Besides being agencies for the execution of Executive policy, these coordinating agencies become the natural collectors of information regarding the processes of rou tine governmental business, which, in turn, may become the basis of Executive policy involving changes in the coordinating agencies themselves, and the creation of new ones. In the well-managed business organization the closest contact between the source of information and the power which can compel corrective action is always maintained. It must be remembered that we are discussing only routine business functioning. What we* call “ red tape ” in Government business largely results from the lack of REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XXXVII contact between those sensible of errors in administration and those in authority responsible for their correction. The less cumbersome the machinery for the transmission of the Executive will, and the closer the contact between those associated with it and the President himself, the more effective will be the functioning of the Government as a business machine. To sum up, the President, in assuming for the first time his posi tion of business responsibility over governmental business adminis tration, upon the advice of the Director of the Budget, based upon information which the investigation of the Bureau of the Budget has supplied, has created certain agencies of coordination through which his business policy will be transmitted to the business organization. This emphasizes the importance of the passage of Executive advice and instruction through the Director of the Budget to the coordi nating agencies. The same principle is involved as was recognized in the budget law itself when the Bureau of the Budget was made to operate directly under the President and not under any department of a lesser but coordinate authority. The only agency in existence which bears such a relation to the Chief Executive that it can be made a proper conduit for the transmission of Executive authority in routine business matters to the coordinating agencies for trans mission to all departments and establishments is the Bureau of the Budget. Coordinating agencies should be created from the body of existing employees and not by legislation, where their personnel would neces sarily be built up by outside appointments. I f the creation of these coordinating agencies were to be attempted by act of Congress, they would sink at once into the position of bureaus and lose almost en tirely the power inherent in direct representation of the President. The advantages of the creation by Executive order from the body of the administration of these coordinating agencies, which are now in successful operation, are: First, they more authoritatively will convey the pressure necessary in carrying out the plan of the Chief Executive in the interests of the Government as a whole. Second, they will be headed and composed of men appointed be cause of their experience and ability in connection with the work in question, familiar with the environment in which they are to work, and without the outside and distracting pressure of political con siderations. Third, while more effectively functioning because of the above rea sons, they will operate without appropriations being made necessary for their own salaries or for a large personnel. They will not afford, therefore, a nucleus for a steadily increasing cost and complexity of operation. XXXVIII REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. An examination of the Executive orders which form the basis of the organizations of the coordinating agencies above mentioned will develop: First, that they involve no transfer of authority the location of which has been fixed otherwise by statute. Second, that they involve the delegation of no questions of policy save that of economy and efficiency. Third, that they are simply agents by which, where not otherwise determined by Congress, unified methods of ordinary business can be imposed by the Chief Executive. Fourth, that they are created simply to give the President of the United States, in his relation to the business administration, the same agencies of contact and transmission of authority as obtain in any private organization. Fifth, that they involve no material addition to the expense of gov ernmental administration. Sixth, that they are nonpartisan, being composed of men already in the Government service, simply detailed for this duty. Seventh, that they are in effect simply a regrouping under an executive leadership of certain of the present employees of Govern ment of such experience, contact, and relation in its routine business as enables them, detached from departments and acting directly under the President, to make possible the application of common-sense business methods. It can not be too often reiterated that this most important reforma tion in the governmental business system is dependent upon the Pres ident of the United States himself, and upon his continued assump tion of his responsibility as its business head. The minute he relaxes his attitude of attention to this duty there will be felt the natural pull of the departments and establishments toward the old system of complete independence and decentralization. This is because of laws firmly embedded in human nature which have existed since man began. Budget laws or other legislative enactments can not change human nature, and, while compelling the letter of cooperation, can not compel its spirit, which is, above all things, essential in business organization. The President, and the President alone, can do this, for his attitude toward the heads of the departments and the inde pendent establishments is a matter constantly in their minds. What he desires it becomes their interest as well as their duty to do, where consistent with right principles and in accordance with law. In the absence of his expressed desire what becomes their selfish interest in action is inevitably along the lines of decentralization and the re establishment of the old condition of things, with everything running haphazard, REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XXXIX These great coordinating agencies have already effected large savings in Government business administration. They have pre vented the absurd duplication and competition existing among the departments and establishments. They have corrected the practice fry which the supplies and facilities of Government have been kept in water-tight departmental compartments, compelling recourse con stantly to the open market, notwithstanding the Government already had on hand the supplies or facilities purchased. They enable the Government to transact routine business with the advantages enjoyed by private business organizations, and prevent its spoliation, made easy by the former ignorance and indifference on the part of a de partment of the business status and transactions of another. Through their agency the routine business of the Government, for the first time, is being conducted along sound business principles. RELATION OF TH E BUREAU OF THE BUDGET TO THE CABINET. As stated before, the use of the Budget Bureau by the Executive as an agency for securing economy and efficiency in routine business has developed the fact that the advice and information emanating from the interested departments alone is not sufficient to enable the Bureau of the Budget to carry on its functions with full effectiveness. The first lien of a departmental policy upon a departmental mind, whether it be that of the head of the department, budget officer, or the chief of a bureau, is such that the Executive, to be safe in im posing a business policy in terms of the Government’s interests as an entity, must have an impartial consideration of the departmental view in order to determine the necessities of departmental programs as related to an executive policy for the whole. The Director of the Budget is glad to state that with the Cabinet, and with the heads of independent establishments, there has been evinced from the first a determination to think in impersonal terms, and to favor all regulations, customs, and precedents which would afford the Director of the Budget, in so far as he acted as the repre sentative of the President, the same ease of access to them and to their subordinate chiefs as would necessarily pertain in any well-managed private business organization. This required abrogation on their part of many of the old customs arising out of over 100 years of a decentralized status quo in the governmental business organization, which presented an insuperable obstacle to anything approximating unity of policy or plan in Government business administration. Under the regulations and customs now established, any such action and contact as the Director of the Budget must have with the heads of the different departments and establishments, where he repre sents the President in the imposition of a unified policy, he meets no XL REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. obstruction arising out of personal dignit}^ or past precedent. The Cabinet heads and heads of independent establishments immediately acquiesced in the principle that the President must establish an agency so empowered in its relations to them that, as in any private organization, his agent in gathering information could compel & contact of separate departmental authority in the consideration of any coordinated action for the benefit of the Executive. The Di rector of the Budget, therefore, under the regulations and customs now established, lias the same powers that an agent of the president of a corporation would have under the same circumstances. The departmental trend of thought, stabilized by over 100 years, manifested itself to some extent in connection with the establishment .by the President of the coordinating agencies essential to the carding out of the unified business policy in government. The detail of an employee from a department or establishment to the coordinating agencies established by Executive order occasionally evoked the objec tion that the salary of such an employee should no longer be charged against the department in question. The thought that through the agencies to which such detail is made an enormous saving will inure to the departments during the existence of such a coordinating agency was, in some cases, overlooked by the affected department head. It is, above all things, necessary in the institution of a proper govern mental business system to change certain trends of thought arising out of the old status quo which has been responsible for the destruc tive chaos in Government business arising out of the independent attitude of departments unsubjected to Executive control. It is to be remembered in this connection that no criticism can be properly directed against the department heads under the old sys tem for thinking alone in terms of the interests of their department and its program. The head of a department is not in a'position, except under very exceptional circumstances, to have a bird’s-eye view which will enable him to reason in any other than in terms of his own department; Again, it is his duty to think in such terms. The planning of coordinating action along the lines of a unified business policy is the function of the Chief Executive. A general line of demarcation between the viewpoint of the inter ested department or establishment and the viewpoint of an agency thinking in terms alone of the general business situation of the Gov ernment obtains practically in every department and independent establishment of the Government. The absence in the past of any authority thinking in terms of the common interests of the Govern ment as a whole has involved the United States Government in hun dreds of millions of dollars of unnecessary loss. Questions of busi ness policy important enough to demand the attention of the Execu REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XLI tive and of Congress have at times not even been presented for con sideration to the department head himself. There must be but one business head. Let no one misunderstand the importance of the power of the President of the United States in its relation to this universal disposition to submit to business co ordination manifested by the individual departments and estab lishments of the Government at this time. Underneath whatever has been done in the way of correcting the chaos in governmental routine business which the President of the United States con fronted was the sense of responsibility to him in the mind of each man to be affected. The Director of the Budget was authorized by the President to make a public statement of certain fundamental principles which must underlie the budget, to w it: 1. The Director of the Budget in gathering information for the use of the President acts for the President, and his calls upon the chiefs of bureaus and other administrative officers for purposes of consultation or information take precedence over the Cabinet head of a department or any head of an independent organization. 2. The budget representative in each department, being appointed by the Cabinet head, will present to the Director of the Budget the views of the Cabinet head upon the wisdom of conclusions drawn by the Director of the Budget for the use of the Chief Executive and Congress; but, as in the case of bureau chiefs and other officers, the call of the Director of the Budget for their presence and advice takes precedence over the Cabinet head. Upon the continued recognition of these principles the effective ness of the Bureau of the Budget must depend. RELATION OF BUDGET OFFICERS DEPARTMENTS, TO TH E OF BUSINESS DEPARTMENTS TO ADM INISTRATION TH E HEADS OF OF GOVERNMENT, AND TO T H E DIRECTOR OF TH E BUDGET. The same principles involved in the relation of the President of the United States to the Director of the Budget are involved in the relations of the department head to the official named by him as the budget officer of his department. The latter, charged with the duty of collecting information and the giving of advice relating to general departmental business for the use of the head of the department as well as for the use of the Director of the Bureau of the Budget, should be a man whose relation to the separate activi ties of the department is impartial. A department head should never appoint as budget officer of his department one who'is in control of an activity which will be materially affected by budgetary recommendations. XL II REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. The act approved June 10, 1921 (Public, No. 13), entitled “An act to provide a national budget system and an independent audit oi Government accounts, and for other purposes,” provides in part that— Sec. 214. (« ) The head of each department and establishment shall designate an official thereof as budget officer therefor, who in each year under liis direc tion and on ur before a date fixed by hiiu shall prepare the departmental esti mates. (£») Such budget officer shall also preparts under the direction of the head of the department or establishment, such supplemental and deficiency estimates as may be required for its work. S ec. 215. The head of each department and establishment shall revise the departmental estimates and submit them to the bureau on or before September 15 of each year. In case of his failure so to do, the President shall cause to be prepared such estimates and data as are necessary to enable him to in clude in the budget estimates and statements in respect to the work of such department or establishment. The foregoing provisions of law require that the departmental es timates, including supplemental and deficiency estimates, shall be prepared by the budget officer under the direction of the head of his department or establishment. They further require that the estimates shall be revised by the head of the department or establishment prior to submission to the Bureau of the Budget. The spirit of the budget law contemplates that the budget officer of each department or estab lishment shall represent the head thereof in the restriction of estimates to economical figures, and in such other fiscal operations as may be necessary from time to time in the administration of the budget law, and to this end that the budget officer should report direct to and perform his work directly under the head of his department or estab lishment. This should not be construed as investing in budget offi cers any powers or authorities which properly devolve upon the heads of bureaus or divisions within a department or establishment, but is intended solely to indicate that the duties devolving upon budget officers, as such, should be performed directly under the head of the department or establishment. It is essential, of course, that there be full and complete cooperation between budget officers and the heads of the operating, administrative, or supervisory bureaus or agencies within a department or establishment. To the end that nothing may interfere with the responsibilities de volving upon budget officers, it is desirable that the heads of depart ments and establishments clothe their budget officers with authority to call for such information and data from the several.divisions and branches of the departments and establishments as may be necessary to enable the budget officers to prepare the estimates under the direc tion of the heads of the departments and establishments. It is simi larly desired that the plans and policies formulated by the heads of departments and establishments as the basis of estimates for appropria REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XLIII tions be communicated to the budget officers and through them com municated, by and with the authority of the heads of the depart ments and establishments, to the several divisions or branches of the departments and establishments where such communication is neces sary. The adoption of the general procedure as above outlined will en able the Director of the Budget to obtain from budget officers definite and accurate information at all times concerning departmental esti mates or the requirements upon which departmental estimates are based, and there will be avoided the lost motion which might be occasioned if budget officers were not made the medium of the head of a department or establishment by or through which all informa tion essential to the preparation of estimates would -be transmitted and received. EXECUTIVE HEGUI-ATIONS. The Executive regulations provided by the budget law to be issued by the President as governing the operations of the Bureau of the Budget have been a matter of evolution arising out of the new en vironment of the Budget Bureau and the determination of the Presi dent to use it as an agency for the imposition of Executive pressure. It would have been impractical for the President to have drawn these regulations at the inception of the work of the bureau. Having di rected the bureau to proceed along certain lines, he has issued such regulations as, in his judgment, were necessary, after a report to him by the bureau of the authority required as determined by its ex perience. The Executive purpose which underlies these budget regulations, in addition to outlining the method of procedure under the express terms of the budget law, was to secure the machinery for the trans mission of Executive policy and control in the routine business of the Government such as exists in any well-organized private busi ness organization. It could only be determined from the actual ex perience of the bureau just where latent opposition having its roots in human nature and in a century of undisturbed departmental independence would show itself to the imposition of Executive authority along the lines of proper coordination and unified business policy. The bureau has, under these regulations, the same standing which similar agencies in private business must have to their heads to successfully function. DEFICIENCY AFPKOPRIATIONS. The effect of continuous Executive attention and pressure accom panying an Executive plan for economical and efficient methods upon the old custom on the part of the departments of an easy reli XLIV REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. ance upon deficiency and supplemental appropriations should be emphasized. It is difficult to overstate the influence upon the cur rent administration of governmental business of a determined atti tude on the part of the Chief Executive against requests for defi ciency appropriations. The head of a department or establishment will endeavor to evade, in every possible way, the asking for a defi ciency appropriation, and his one best way is by the reduction of expenses and the more efficient administration of his department. The Director of the Budget feels confident, therefore, that the estimate for expenditures for 1923, upon which the budget is based, will not be increased except through appropriations initiated by Congress or by the Executive as a result of emergency 01* unforeseen conditions arising after the preparation of the budget. There exists in Government now, because of the attitude of the Executive, a prime essential in the successful functioning of all pri vate and public business organizations, to wit, a continuing strong sense of responsibility to the policy and business plan of the organi zation as imposed by the Executive head. In any private business organization, in proportion as a lack of responsibility to the Execu tive head develops in the minds of subordinate officials of depart ments, the efficiency of the organization diminishes. There can not be, of course, in an organization as large as the Government, a con tinuous contact with the executive head himself in the matter of the details of functioning in the subordinate business units. There is in every property organized business organization decentraliza tion in connection with authority over the method o*f the functioning of a subordinate department, but machinery exists by which the head of the subordinate department is at all times, through contact and explanation, thoroughly advised of the general policy of the organi zation in accordance with which the activities of its subordinate units are to be carried on. The Cabinet is one agency for the establishment by the Chief Executive of his business policy. He has made the Bureau of the Budget another agency so far only as the conduct of the routine business of the Government is concerned. The coordinating organi zations created by Executive order are also means of supplying the departments the contact with the business policy of the Chief Executive as it relates to routine business. The continuity of Executive pressure through these agencies upon the body of the business organization is certain to be reflected in an almost complete cessation of the habit of reliance upon defi ciency appropriations. Besides preventing requests for deficiency appropriations, the imposition of Executive pressure along the line of a unified governmental business policy, and the information developed by the contact provided by the coordinating agencies be REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XLV tween the departments, bring about a comparison of standards of expenditures and efficiency, with resulting improvement. This con tact also encourages initiative in suggestions from the body of the different organizations along the lines of proper coordinating action. There are now implanted in the minds of the business organiza tion of the Government three principles: First, that the business organization of Government hereafter assumes that the minimum amount of money to be expended in any fiscal year is not of necessity the sum appropriated in advance by Congress, but the smallest amount upon which the business of the Government can be efficiently administered under the program out lined by Congress. Second, that there should not be in the minds of the business ad ministrators of Government a too easy reliance upon the custom of deficiency appropriations. Third, that where Congress has directed the expenditure of cer tain sums for specific purposes, an Executive pressure will now be exerted for more efficient and economical administration in order to produce greater results from the given expenditure, and also, whereever possible, to complete the given project for a less amount than the total appropriated for the purpose. Similar rules obtain in every well-organized private business institution. That they have not heretofore characterized the busi ness operations of Government has been because of the absence of Executive control and the habit of department heads of appealing direct to Congress, unsubjected to any business plan made in the interests of the Government as a whole, their action being deter mined by their conception of the needs of their department or estab lishment as an independent organization. In this attitude of the Chief Executive lies the hope and expectation of a great lessening of the amounts requested under deficiency appropriations. REGROUPING OF ACTIVITIES. Section 209 of the budget law provides that— The bureau, when directed by the President, shall make a detailed study of the departments and establishments for the purpose of enabling the President to determine what changes (with a view of securing greater economy and effi ciency in the conduct of the public service) should be made in (1) * * * (2) * * * (3) the assignment of particular activities to particular serv ices, or (4) the regrouping of services. By joint resolution of December 29, 1920, Congress has provided for the organization of a “ Joint Committee on Reorganization to make a survey of the administrative services of the Government for the purpose of securing all pertinent facts concerning their powers and duties and distribution among the several executive depart XLVI REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. ments and their overlapping and duplication of authority: also, to determine wlmt distribution of activities should be made among the several services with a view to the proper correlations of the same, and what departmental regrouping of services should be made.’* This joint resolution was supplemented on May 5, 1921, by another authorizing the President to appoint a representative of the Execu tive to cooperate with this joint committee. In order to prevent an embarrassing overlapping and duplication of activities between this congressional joint committee and the Bu reau of the Budget the President, at the suggestion of the Director of the Budget, concurred in a recommendation that the consideration of a general regrouping of activities should be left to the joint com mittee, who could, in their discretion, call upon the Bureau of the Budget to act for them as an agent in gathering information. Since, at this date, the report of the joint congressional committee is not available, the budget herewith transmitted is necessarily framed upon the assumption of the continuance of normal activities of the Government already in existence and as now constituted. The alternative budget, except as to changes in form only, is likewise based upon the same assumption. I f the report of the joint com* mittee is accepted in principle and followed by appropriate legisla tion, or if any of the existing proposals for the reclassification of the salaries of civilian employees should be enacted into law, such legis lation would greatly simplify the preparation of the budget in future years. Neither the budget nor the alternative budget, therefore, contain any recommendations as to the elimination or regrouping of activi ties. There exists in the present^ grouping of activities under the de partments a juxtaposition in many cases of activities so entirely unrelated to each other in their nature and scope that a regrouping of them will result in not only a larger measure of direct coordina tion by a single supervising authority, but in a more effective com mon functioning. The great waste and extravagance heretofore existing in govern mental business administration, however, has not resulted so much from an admittedly improper grouping of activities in certain de partments as it has from a complete lack of Executive control im posing coordination between departments and establishments them selves. From his contact with the departments and establishments of the Government the Director of the Budget is glad to state that as a rule they operate with efficiency and with a considerable degree of economy, considered as independent organizations. In so far as the regrouping of scattered activities under one department head imposes in him a power of coordination by order, regrouping is in REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XLVII the interests both of efficiency and economy. It must be remembered, however, that there is a limit, in a Government so large as this, to effective regrouping. In every well-organized business institution there must be, of necessity, in some of its constituent parts, certain agencies which function for the benefit of the part, to enable it prop erly to fulfill its relation to the whole. What is, therefore, an appar ent separation among the constituent parts of a business organiza tion of any given activity is often because the resulting efficiency of the part is more important than any economy which would be produced by the consolidation- of the activity. For example, if the Secret Service of the United States, now divided into many separate independent agencies responsible to dif ferent department heads, should be consolidated as a whole, the resulting economy in expenditure might produce an inefficiency in departmental functioning wholly incommensurate with the savings effected. Centuries of evolution in military organization have pre served the principle that in an}' separate service there must be a con tinuing responsibility upon any agent responsible for supply directly to the representative of the service at the point of necessity. A t the cost of certain theoretical economy each department, to be kept in the most efficient condition, must have reserved to it a complete con trol over certain vital functions. The secret service of the Post Office Department and of the Treasury Department, for instance, are highly specialized. The instructions of the head of either of these departments to the agents of a consolidated national Secret Service would probably not be carried out as effectively and promptly as where there is a direct responsibility and dependence on the part of the agent to the head of the concerned department. Pressure, to be most effective, must come from the point of necessity direct upon the agent upon whom is the responsibility for meeting it. The coordinating control exercised in the Government business organization by coordinating agencies, and in the military organiza tion by the General Staff, in no wise implies a substitution of a central body for the separate departments or services. Whether a regrouping of certain governmental activities will result in economy or not, great care must be taken under a general plan to not build up central organizations to take over activities heretofore scattered among the departments where such a course will break down, to a dangerous extent, the autonomy of the separate departments. In all successful business organizations there is a compromise, determined by experience, between a complete centralization of each activity and its decentralization. A regrouping of activities should therefore, in the f^rst instance, not be accompanied by plans setting up new organizations to take over, in their entirety, certain functions now separately exercised by the independent departments XLVIII REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET, until the practical effect of such a course has had most careful con sideration from the standpoint of the resulting effect on efficiency. THE RELATION OF A UNIFORM SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTING TO TH E PREPARA TION OF TH E BUDGET AND ITS CONSIDERATION BY CONGRESS. The purpose of the budget act is to enable the President, as the responsible head of the administration of the Government, to present to Congress an annual business program which shall contain the necessary information concerning the financial requirements of all the departments and establishments of the Government, and the resources from which this program of expenditures may be met, in such form as clearly to indicate the application of business principles to the Government’s administrative activities. One of the most important aids in budget making lies in the system of accounts. The object of keeping accounts is twofold: First, to furnish an open record of the financial transactions of the officers of the Government charged with the responsibility of spend ing public moneys; and, second, to furnish the means of holding the disbursing officer to the faithful discharge of his duties. The first relates to information, and the second relates to control, the control being exercised through the critical functions of audit operating on the accounts. The Bureau of the Budget is primarily concerned with the information feature of accounting, while the general ac counting office is primarily concerned with the control aspect. The detailed preparation of the budget is largely based upon the accounts. The presentation of the estimates must necessarily fol low the form of the accounts. I f there be confusion in the sys tem of accounts it will reappear in the budget. A uniform system of accounts is, therefore, essential to the intelligent preparation of the budget in whatever form the latter may be eventually pre sented. The records of the detailed receipts and expenditures of public money should be kept in accordance with some uniform classification in order that (1) the requirements of the different departments and establishments may be fully and readily com pared; (2) statements of expenditure for the same objects may be stated in identical language in each spending office, thus facilitat ing easy, rapid, and intelligent examination and control; (3) to furnish a basis for the estimates, the appropriation acts, the report ing of financial data, and the audit— all upon a uniform system; and - (4) to enable a sufficiently concrete picture of the total financial operations of the Government to be assembled within a reasonable compass, thus greatly facilitating the examination of the budget by Congress and eliminating the necessity for much detailed ex amination of witnesses. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. XUX At the present time there is no such uniform classification in use by all departments, and the established practice of many years varies widely in the different departments. Indeed, in the majority of cases there is no clear distinction drawn between expenditures of such widely different character as those for ordinary current expenses of operation and expenditures for the acquisition of prop erty which increases the permanent assets of the country. There is also no uniformity in nomenclature. Accounts are kept for identical objects of expenditure under various names, and this variety has naturally found its way into the estimates, into the ap propriation acts, and into departmental reports of receipts and expenditures. For example, “ Contingent expenses” may include one class of objects for one department and another class for an other. The same is true of the loose terms “ General expenses,” “ Miscellaneous expenses,” and “ Necessary expenses.” Each or ganization unit has, to a considerable extent, its own system of ac counts. Congress has attempted to control this situation by minute and specific designations and limitations for each appropriation in the appropriation acts, but this effort at legislative control has, as is generally conceded, broken down. It perhaps did operate with some degree of effectiveness when the Government organization was relatively small and the expenditures but a fraction of the present annual outlay. It is strongly urged that the Comptroller General prescribe the forms, systems, and procedure for administrative appropriation and fund accounting, including a uniform standardized classification for use in the several departments and establishments of the Government, and that this uniform system and standardized classification be en forced through the administrative examination of fiscal officers’ ac counts and claims against the United States. This will permit the preparation of the budget and the making of appropriations, as well as the reports of all receipts and expenditures of all departments, in such form as to be clearly intelligible. This procedure would not only permit a careful analysis of the expenditures of each department or establishment by its own ad ministrative officials, and a more rapid and intelligent audit on the part of the Comptroller General, but would also permit the Presi dent, through the Bureau of the Budget, to make intelligent com parisons between the different departments and establishments, as well as to furnish in much more detailed and instructive manner the information necessary to intelligently modify requests for appropria tions in such a way as to conform with the administrative policy. It would also greatly shorten the labors of the committees of Congress dealing with appropriations and the Congress in consideration and passage of these supply bills. 77891— 21------ iv 1, REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. The essential elements of such a classification fall into five groups: 1. Organization units. 2. Functions or activities. 3. Character of expenditure. 4. Object of expenditure. 5. Funds. The classification by organization units refers to the setting up of all records and accounts separately for each executive department or independent commission, board, bureau, office, agency, or other establishment of the Government. This primary classification is crudely accomplished under existing practices. Classification by functions involves a subdivision of the classifica tion by organization units with reference to the results to be accom plished by each subdivision of the department or establishment which may be devoted to the accomplishment of a separate function or series of functions. This classification by functions is accomplished under existing practices to a certain extent, but since in the development of various organizations many subdivisions or units of organization have developed a plurality of functions in some cases not closely related, a redistribution, or at least a further division, of such func tions will be of benefit. The classification by character of expenditures involves a distinc tion between expenditures of a routine or recurrent character and expenditures involving the acquisition of property or other assets. A further analysis by character should be made under each of the heads mentioned. For instance, the routine or recurrent expenses should be divided into— Administrative expenses. Operating expenses. Fixed charges. Kepairs. Replacements, etc. The acquisition group should be further classified under such head ings as: Eeal property. Investments in securities. Loans to foreign Governments, etc. The classification by objects of expenditure involves a distinction referring particularly to the class of object or service purchased and would involve such headings as: Compensation for personal services. For services other than personal. For materials and supplies. For buildings and structures, etc. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET, LI The classification by funds involves a distinction with regard to the class of funds from which expenditures are made and would in volve such heads as: General funds. Loan funds. Special trust funds. Working capital (or revolving) funds. The first four of these classifications bear a progressive relation ship to each other. That is, total expenditures would be divided according to organization units; the expenditures of organization units would be divided according to functions; the expenditures ac cording to functions would be divided according to character; and the expenditures according to character would be divided according to object. The fifth classification, by funds from which the expenditures are made, would be shown separately in the nature of a recapitulation, and the expenditures from each fund classified as far as possible by organization unit, character, and function. While such a classification could not be thoroughly and satisfac torily developed without trial and modification in the light of actual experience in its use, a very reasonable basis for its institution can undoubtedly be established from a study of various municipal and commercial classifications which have been highly developed for the use of such organizations. These classifications which are in satis factory operation do not cover so wide a scope as the multitudinous activities of the Federal Government, but by considering classifi cations referring to various types of activity, and the reference of a tentative classification to the departments and officials concerned, it is felt that a classification can be established which will require only minor readjustments in the light of experience. Section 309 of the budget and accounting act, 1921, directs the Comptroller General to prescribe the forms, systems, and procedure for administrative appropriation and fund accounting in the several departments and establishments, and for the administrative ex amination of fiscal officers’ accounts and claims against the United States. The office of the Comptroller General of the United States has but recently been established and as a consequence this has not yet been done, but it is understood that the Comptroller General has the matter under consideration. Until such a system is established it will be very difficult to make an intelligent analysis of the operations and other expenditures of the several departments and establishments, and since such analysis frequently furnishes the only possible basis for the intelligent formu lation of future policy, this matter is of vital importance, not only UI REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. to the development of the effective use of the Bureau of the Budget, but also to the saving of time of the Congress in its careful examina tion of the budget. The institution and enforcement of this system will permit the Comptroller General to prepare comparative statements of the opera tions of the various departments and establishments in such a way as to show Congress where efficient operation is obtained and where improvement should be required. It will also permit a comparison of the actual expenditures with the estimates upon which the appro priations were based, not simply in total or by broad classifications varying with each department, but in detail which will apply equally to all departments. CONCLUSION. In making this report the Director of the Budget will state that his connection with the bureau is limited as to time, in accordance with an understanding which he had with the President at the time of his appointment. His purpose in making this announcement at this time is to emphasize the fact that his recommendations are made in an impersonal way, with fundamental business principles and their proper preservation in their application to governmental business administration alone in mind. The Executive regulations recommended, the precedents, customs, and mode of procedure instituted during the operations of the Budget Bureau have all been considered in relation to the fact that it is to be a continuing, impartial, impersonal, business agency of the Government and not at all with any regard to their effect upon the existing personnel of the administration or of the bureau. It is with the same general purpose of preserving the effectiveness of the Budget Bureau as a business machine that Congress should approach any question in which is involved a consideration of its activities. The Director of the Budget from the inception of the bureau, in connection with its work, has received assistance impartially from members of both parties in Congress, from business men, and from employees of the Government. They have joined with him in an effort to make the bureau useful, not in any way as concerned with general policy either of Government or of political parties, but as a disinterested agency covering routine business matters alone. The initiative necessarily involved in suggesting and emphasizing the application of fundamental business principles to the unco ordinated system of routine business of Government has naturally resulted in a temporary and undue prominence being given to the activities of the bureau in the public mind and in the mind of the business administration of the Government, such as should not prop REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. u n erly attach to it in the future in the interests of its efficiency. Had not the former uncoordinated condition of the Government’s busi ness been productive of such maladministration, the institution of the Bureau of the Budget and the coordinating agencies created by Executive order would have been accomplished with the correspond ing lack of discussion which would characterize the simple and nat ural application of sound business principles to a mismanaged private organization. The Director of the Budget desires to express his appreciation of the invaluable assistance received from his associates in the Bureau of the Budget. To Mr. William T. Abbott, the indefatigable, resourceful, and able Assistant Director of the Budget; to those two great coordinators of the American Expeditionary Forces, Gen. George van Horn Moseley, assistant to the director, formerly assistant chief of staff, G -4, G. H. Q., and Col. Henry C. Smither, chief coordinator, general sup ply, formerly assistant chief of staff, G-4, S. O. S .; to that indis pensable, able, and constructive assistant to the director, Lieut. Col. J. C. Roop; to Mr. Donald B. MacLeod, Chief, Division of Estimates, that man of ability and long experience upon whom we have so greatly leaned; to my inseparable associate of the long years, Lieut. Francis J. Kilkenny, assistant to the director; to Mr. Charles W . Collins, counsel; to Mr. E. J. W . Proffitt, special investigator; to Mr. B. A, Mattingly, special investigator; to Mr. Howard Baker, assistant to the director; to Mr. II. Guy Chase, secretary to the director, whose faithful services recognized no restrictions upon time and labor— the Director of the Budget desires to make a public expression both of his deep obligation and high regard. To the Hon. Francis E. Warren, chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate, and to Hon. Martin B. Mad den, the present able chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, whose close cooperation with the Bureau of the Budget is so indispensable to its proper functioning, the Director of the Budget desires to make public expression of his appreciation of their assistance. To Brig. Gen. Herbert M. Lord, Chief Finance Officer of the United States Army, upon whose advice, time, ability, and great experience throughout the entire tenure of his office the Director of the Budget has so continually drawn, he desires to publicly express his gratitude; as also to Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer, who has been a constant and successful participant and counselor in the work; to Hon. James W . Good, one of the founders of the budget law, and to Hon. Swagar Sherley, who has given so generously of his time and invaluable coun sel, both former chairmen of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives; to Mr. Henry P. Seidemann, of the Insti tute for Government Research; and to Mr. Marcellus C. Sheild and LIV REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. Mr. John C. Pugh, clerk and assistant clerk of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives. And finally, sir, to the President of the United States, to whose assumption of responsibility as the business head of the Government, in connection with the budget law, is due whatever improvement has been achieved in the administration of governmental business, and in whose attitude and great interest lies the hope of further improve ment, I desire to express a deep sense of obligation for unstinted confidence, support, and encouragement. C h a r l e s G. D a w e s , Director of the Bureau of the Budget. D e c e m b e r 5,1921. E x e c u t iv e O rder. I hereby prescribe the following rules and regulations with regard to the preparation and submission of the budget and the conduct of the Bureau of the Budget : Revision of the estimates.— Pursuant to the provisions of section 207 of the budget and accounting act, the Bureau of the Budget, under the supervision of the Director and subject to review and determination by the President, shall assemble, revise, reduce, or increase the estimates of the departments or estab lishments as submitted to the bureau. The Director of the Budget shall de termine the plan as to the contents, order, and arrangement of the estimates. In increasing or decreasing the estimates of the appropriations necessary for any department or establishment he shall take into consideration any proper reduction in working forces, reduction in compensation, and the elimination of unnecessary activities. Estimates, however, in respect to the principal or in terest of the public debt shall be subject to revision only with the concurrence of the Secretary of the Treasury. For the purpose of assisting the President with information in the formation of business policy for the Government the estimates of appropriations and of expenditures and receipts, when assembled and revised by the bureau, shall be transmitted by the director to the President as soon as possible after their receipt from the departments and establishments by the bureau, in the form of a consolidated statement of estimated revenue and expenditure, with supporting schedules. 2. Concurrently with the transmission of the estimates by the Director of the Bureau of the Budget to the President, the Secretary of the Treasury shall transmit a statement for the information of the President, showing, from the point of view of the Treasury, the relation between the estimated appropria tions and expenditures and the estimated receipts of the Government. This statement shall contain all necessary memoranda and tables, together with such other comments as may be pertinent to the subject matter of the budget, including suggestions and recommendations as to how the revenue needs of the Government may be met. The Secretary of the Treasury shall at the same time prepare and transmit to the President, for incorporation in the budget, the figures for the actual expenditures of the Government for the last com pleted fiscal year, the figures for the actual and estimated receipts for the last, the current, and the ensuing fiscal years, required by subdivisions (b ), (c ), and (<Z) of section 201 of the budget and accounting act, and also the financial statements required by the provisions of subdivisions ( f ), (g ), and ( h ) of the same section. The Secretary of the Treasury shall, if the estimated receipts for the ensuing fiscal year, on the basis of laws existing at the time REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. LV the budget is transmitted, plus the estimated amounts in the Treasury at the close of the fiscal year in progress available for expenditure in the ensuing fiscal year, are less than the estimated expenditures for the ensuing fiscal year, make recommendations to the President for new taxes, loans, or other appro priate action to meet the estimated deficiency. If, on the other hand, the aggre gate of such estimated receipts and such estimated amounts in the Treasury is greater than such estimated expenditures for the ensuing fiscal year, the Secretary, for the information of the President, shall make such recommenda tions and suggest such financial measures as in his opinion the public interest may require. The'Director of the Budget shall make available to the Secre tary of the Treasury, at his request, any information in the possession of the bureau or any of its employees in respect to the receipts and expenditures of the Government and any other matters that may be pertinent to the business of the Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury shall make available to the Director of the Budget, at his request, any information in the possession of the Treasury or any of its employees in respect to the receipts and expenditures of the Government and any other matters that may be pertinent to the business of the budget. '3. The Director of the Budget, in gathering information for the use of the President, acts for the President, and his calls upon the chiefs of bureaus and other administrative officers for purposes of consultation or information take precedence over the Cabinet head of a department or any head of an independent organization. 4. The budget officer in each department, being appointed by the Cabinet head, will present to the Director of the Budget the views of the Cabinet head upon the wisdom of conclusions drawn by the Director of the Budget for the use of the Chief Executive and Congress; but, as in the case of bureau chiefs and other officers, the call of the Director of the Budget for their presence and advice takes precedence over the Cabinet head. 5. The coordinating agencies established by the Executive are for the pur pose of enabling the President, in matters of routine business, to so coordinate the activities of the different departments and establishments as will insure the most economical and efficient expenditure of moneys appropriated by Congress. They provide the machinery through which, with the minimum of obstruction and delay, the Executive may impose a unified plan of govern mental routine business. The Director of the Bureau of the Budget shall have general supervision over the work of the coordinating agencies hereto fore created by Executive order, subject to such instructions as may hereafter be issued by the President. 6. The chief coordinator, general supply; appointed under the provisions of Executive order of July 27, 1921, shall exercise general supervision, subject to the Director of the Budget, over the coordination of the routine business activities of the governmental organization, with particular attention to methods of purchasing, liquidation of supplies, specification of materials, advertising, warehousing, employment, manufacturing, disbursing, and other ordinary business activities of the Government. 7. The decision of the chief coordinator, In all matters of coordination, shall be transmitted to the heads of departments or independent establishments concerned, and shall be final, except that such heads may appeal to the Director of the Budget within four days after the receipt of notice of the coordinating order, and if not sustained by the Director of the Budget may appeal to the President of the United States within six days after the decision of the Director of the Budget. I f such appeal is not taken or is LVI REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF THE BUDGET. not sustained, the decision in question shall stand, and shall be published to those affected by the heads of the departments concerned. S. The heads of departments and subordinate officials will retain all present responsibility with respect to individual business transactions, subject to such policies as may be imposed 111 the manner indicated above. 9. All persons heretofore or hereafter appointed to duty under the chief co* ordinator, either in Washington or in the corps areas of the country, shall be regarded as so appointed or detailed by the President of the United States, and they shall not be subject to reassignment by department heads except as authorized by Executive order. Such persons shall not be.required to submit any report to any department except such as may be required as to their loca tion or assignment or for purposes of pay, the intention being to prevent any interference with their direct responsibility to the President of the United States and his agents, the Director of the Budget and the chief coordinator. The above does not apply to departmental representatives on the various coordi nating boards, and in case of those detailed to coordinating duty in addition to other duties it applies only with respect to such coordinating duty. 10. All bureau chiefs and employees of the executive Government are di rected to furnish any available information desired for purposes of coordina tion or to attend any conference 011 coordination at the request of the chief coordinator. It shall not be necessary for any duly authorized representative of the Director of the Budget, of the chief coordinator or any coordinating authority established by Executive order to secure the approval of the head of a department or military or naval authority of a request for information for use in connection with the activities of the coordinating bodies. The duly authorized agents of the Director of the Budget, of the chief coordinator, or of the coordinating boards shall have access to all books and papers of the various departments and independent establishments which contain any in formation pertinent to the subject under consideration for coordination. 11. All departments and establishments must be so organized for the transac tion of matters of routine business as to facilitate their proper cooperation with the general coordinating agencies. Where the existing form of the organiza tion of the routine business of the departments and establishments or the form of reorganization suggested by the head of the department or establish ment does not, in the judgment of the Director of the Bureau of the Budget, properly meet the requirements of the situation, the Director of the Bureau of the Budget shall recommend to the President the form which, in his judg ment, such departmental organization should take to that end. In his final determination of the form of organization the President will then consider the recommendations of the department head or head of the independent establishment concurrently with those of the Director of the Budget. 12. All coordinating agencies made subject by Executive order to the super vision of the Director of the Budget shall make quarterly reports to him of their activities for transmission by him to the President.

In other words, the expenditures from this fund were more specific than they were miscellaneous. (See hear ing on legislative, executive, and judicial appropriation bill, 1921, pp. 2344-2345). Hereafter, when a de ficiency appropriation may be required for one of these specific purposes it can be more clearly differen tiated than when under the designation of “ Miscellaneous items.” The amounts estimated for the objects mentioned in the foregoing paragraphs are based approximately on the expenditures for the fiscal year 1921 for like purposes, the total appropriations for which were $235,000, after deducting $20,000 for restaurant equipment and other unusual expenditures, such as the funeral of the late Speaker Clark. The total amount estimated is $3,000 less than the annual average for 10 years, or $190,000; and as it can not be fore seen exactly what demands upon these funds may be made by authorizations of the House or by future conditions the expenditures may be more or less accordingly. These figures, however, furnish as nearly accurate bases as possible upon which to make initial appropriations for all objects heretofore embraced within the classification of ‘‘ Miscellaneous items.” For wrapping paper, pasteboard, paste, twine, newspaper wrappers, and other necessary materials for folding, for use of Members, the Clerk’s office, and folding room, not in cluding envelopes, writing paper, and other paper and materials to be printed and furnished by the Public Printer, upon requisitions from the Clerk of the House, under provisions of the act approved Jan. 12, 1895 (same act).........................................................

For m ap cases fofr the D iv isio n of Maps and Charts (submitted) ................................................ 6,000.00 The first of the two items abovo submitted for $6,000 each is to provide extension of the existing steet stack for the storage of catalogue cards in the Card Division. An average expenditure of $5,000 per annum is necessary for extension of this stack. Owing to recent high costs,the annual extensions have fallen behind the actual need, and for the current year the appro priation of $5,000 has been curtailed to an expenditure of $3,333. This curtail must be made up as soon as possible. The second of the items is to provide additional cases for tho Division of Maps and Charts. Extension of the special steel map-filing cases for flat filing is important, owing to the present congestion. Many important maps and charts can now only be tied in rolls and bundles of rolls. Constant demand makes this crude system almost intolerable both to the user and to the Library. The sum requested will provide only a fraction of the equipment needed by the Map Division.

Since 1916 the price of coal has steadily increased until, at this tune, not less than $6,000 a year is needed to provide the necessary quantity. In less than four years, at this rate, the total cost of installation will have been covered. In addition to this important consideration are those of dependability of the power-house service, cleanliness through absence of large quantities of coal, and the saving of storage space.

This item provides for the heating, lighting, electrical, telegraphic, and telephonic service for the seven buildings under the Institution,'which are located in the Mallbetween B Street NW. and B Street SW. and Ninth and Twelfth Streets. The floor area of these buildings is 770,941 square feet, or 17§ acres, the cubic contents of same 12,835,222 cubic feet, and the square feet of heating surface 132,640. The main heating plant is located in the Natural History Building at the foot of Tenth Street NW., and furnishes light, power, etc., to all of the buildings during the entire year, but it is necessary to augment this plant during the months of December, January, and February by the use of the old boilers in the Arts and industries Building. Of the appropriation of $70,000 for the current year, $29,000 is allotted for coal and $32,080 is required for the employment of the 35 mechanics, laborers, etc., required to operate the plant. (In this connection attention is called to the very small salaries paid to all of the employees on this roll, which averages from 50 to 75 per cent less than are paid in private industry in Washington and less than is paid in many branches of the Government service.) The estimate for this item for 1923 is $28,500 in excess of the appropriation for the present fiscal year and $24,500 greater than the appropriations provided in the sundry civil and deficiency bills for 1921. It covers three items—$23,000 for two additional high-pressure boilers of similar size to those now in use or one of double the horsepower, which, if installed, would reduce the cost of operation of about $4,000 annually and would obviate the necessity of operating the auxiliary plant in the Arts and Industry Building; a new boiler-feed water heater (the old one being worn out and inefficient) at a cost of $3,000, including changes in piping, etc., the purchase of which would save approximately 150 tons of coal annually; the balance, $2,500, is for increasing the allotment for coal from $29,000 to $31,500. It is estimated by the engineer that during a normal year 4,000 tons of coal will be required. The largest possible allotment for the purchase of coal from our present appropriation is $29,000, consequently in order to have a sufficient amount it will be necessary to increase this auotment by $2,500 or $3,000. The allotment of $29,000 for the present year—1922—will undoubtedly be inadequate and unless the contract price for coal is lowered (it now vanes from $7.65 to $3) it will be necessary during the winter to ask for an additional appropriation of between $2,000 and $3,000.

In practice this difference between the total arrived at as above and tho appropriation does not arise, as it Is covered by a saving on allowances in favor of tho department on account of leaves of absence of officers, transit periods when they are traveling under orders, and promotions in the service, which amounts to approximately 15 perconturn per annum of the total estimated allowances. In China the amount granted consular officers and the officials of the United States Court for China, for post allowances is the difference between tho prewar rate of the Mexican silver dollar, which was approxi mately 43 cents in United States currency, and the current value which at present is about 50 cents. Because of the great difference between the present price of silver and that prevailing throughout 1920 and 1921, the amount required for post allowances in China for 1922 will be small compared with the two previous years.
