THE OMAHA BEE: THURSDAY. JULY 13. 1922. Harding Orders Retrenchment to Avoid Deficit Bureau Chief Called in Con ferenceNew Budget Direc tor SuItmiU Estimates Keep Within Income. Wellington, July 12 With con gratulation on the extraordinary economic! fftectcd by the budget ytcm in the lat year Pretident Harding;, addrcing icveral hun drcd bureau chief yesterday, called (or still greater retrenchment to avoid a prospective $500.IKKUHXI defi cit during the current fiscal year. Ocn. .Lord, the now director of the budget, submitted in detail the pros pective revenue and expenditure and the president asserted he would tand squarely behind Gen. Lord, as he supported Gen. Dawes, in cur tailing expenses and introducing more economical method of adminit traiion.' The president said he would not send to congress a budget ex ceeding the revenue and would slash estimates if the department failed to do no. "The report of the director of the bureau of the budget for the fiscal year ending June JO, 1922," said Mr. Harding, "is a record of " real achievement, of which you may all be proud, for without your Intelli gent co-operation this gratifying re sult would not have been- possible. Last August r was estimated, on in formation furnished by those , speak ing for the spending agencies of the government, thatwithdrawa4s from the treasury for the fiscal year just terminated jtould be $4,554,000,000. The. last treasury estimate shows this figure was reduced to $3,795, 000.000, a reduction of $759,000,000. "The preparation of estimates for the fiscal year 1924 is the .next im mediate duty," the president con tinued, tor that year, estimated re. ceiDts are $3,198,000,000. or aooroxi mately $600,000,000 less than the ap- propriaiions ror me current year pius authorizations for expenditures, not included in the appropriations. We must all keep constantly in mind that the probable receipts for 1924 will not permit as liberal appropria ' tions as for 1923. In that connection I may say frankly to you that I will not send to congress estimates ex ceeding the probable receipts of the government."

She is the most charming woman I know, and Patricia is a wonder baby. My wife would have accompanied me on my entire trip except for the baby' food, and both are coming to London next week to see me. "I do not think that the least friend of Miss Miller would have advised her marrying a man dishonorably discharged from the navy for taking bribes and also knowing the unhappy end to Olive Thomas.
