for a new era of economy in federal

ed the conferences with the declara-

the world today like growing public
indebtedness and mounting expendi-
tures." He referred to the gathering
as a first and extraordinary method
adopted to meet the emergency.
Mr. Dawes, the new director in a
forty-five minute talk alternately caj-
oled threatened and reassured his au-
ditors, addressed the president and ad-
monished the cabinet members per-
sonally. In concluding he ordered the
bureau chiefs to their feet, and hold-
ing up his hand recited the follow-
ing pledge addressed to the presi-
dent.
"These men, of whom I am one,
realize the perplexity of your position,
realize that the business of the coun-
try is prostrate, that Its working men
are out of employment that we are
faced with inexorable necessity of re-
ducing expenditures, and we propose,
just as we did four years ago, to win
the war to try to do it, dnd that's all
we can do."
