FORDNEY SHOWS
UP WASTE OF U. S.
DURING THE YEAR
t i- mm
Refutes, Administration State
ment of Economy by Citing
Figures to Prove Charge
of Extravagance.
. I N '
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Wellington, D. C. April 19.
(Special.) Demonstrating that the
public debt ha been reduced less
than $786,000,000 during the present
fiscal year and that the state, of the
treasury on March 31 was less favor
able by $214,000,000 than on June 30
last. Representative Fordney of
Michigan, chairman of the house
committee on ways and means, vig
orously attacked the administration
today for extravagance and lack, of a
sound post-war fiscal policy. '
Mr. Fordncy's remarks were
called forth by a widely circulated
statement inspired by the adminis
tration, that the debt had Jieen re
duced $705,000,000 in the last rnonth
alone, aji alleged accomplishment
which was cited in the statement at.
"sound evidence" of the success of
the treasury program.
Based ott Misrepresentation.
"That alleged 'sound evidence',"
said Mr. Fordney, "is based on a
wholly fictitious reduction of the na
tional debt. Such claims, if made
deliberately, resolve themselves 'into
a sheer misrepresentation which
raises false hopes and a false confi
dence in the public mind. The out
sHnding fact is that since July 1,
1919, our disbursements have ex
ceeded our revenue from all sources
by $214,207,713. ..
"Our public debt since June 30,
1919,! the close of the fiscal year.
1919, has been reduced to the extent
of but $785,934,576. The explanation
of this net reduction during a period
when our expenditures exceeded re
ceipts is in this. The cash balance,
current assets of the general fund
during this period were decreased to
the extent of $1,000,042,289. In other
words, the improvement in the
status of our funded debt, since June
30, 1919, has been more than offset
by the depieciftion of billion dol
lars in our ca'sh assets."
' - Mr. Fordney summed up the sit
uation in this table:
