GOOD START
Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board asked Congress for $125,000,-
000 to meet deficits for the next five
months.

000 to $45,000, 000.
That’s a good start toward econ

Congress and its committees have the
bad habit of talking loudly about
economy and then quietly making
extravagant appropriations.
