Her absence left an aching void and that all nations hope it will be filled was shown by the burst of applause which greeted Motta, the president of the Swiss delegation, when, as host, he asked the permission of the assembly that a message of greeting should be sent to President Wilson He said: would add to this message of thanks tho hope or rather the keenly felt desire, that the United States of North America should befors long take her rightful place in th League.

M. Uarnes, the iiriusn Labor i Congress Must Provide Funds to Make Good Acts Done to Help Politics. BUDGET Special to The Courier-Journal lork Times Washington, 13. One of the largest deficiencies in governmental expenses in recent history has to be met before the coming session of Congress adjourns for the Christmas holidays. This is apparent to clerks of the budget committee who are now preparing tho appropriations schedules and results, it is said, from the action of the appropriations committee in reducing the estimates so radically in tho last session in a desire to show economies before tho elections.

The House Appropriations Committee as then constituted, ceased to exist with the Congressional session that ended last June and will appear in the coming session enlarged to thirty-five members whicli will members of other committees having to do with appropriations. This reform proposed as necessary to the inauguration of the budget system will be carried into effect despite the' fact that President Wilson vetoed the bill creating the budget system and the Senate failed to pass the measure, which finally was adopted by the House in a form to meet the objections raised by the President. There will be no budget presented by the executive department as planned, as the House will consider the department estimates in one committee instead of in eight. While the budget plan cannot be carried fully into effect in the coming short session even though the Senate should pass the bill pending before it, yet House leaders propose to show how economically the departmental estimates can be disposed of. There appears some objection on the part of the House members to the budget committee.

This objection is based on the desire of the committees which will be absorbed to retain their authority over appropriation matters. It is not believed that this objection will be strong enough to effect a repeal of the resolution creating the enlarged committee.
