WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. (/P)—The
government’s budget lor the ne\t
fiscal year, calling for appropriations
O.C $4,014,571,124, or $ 16,5 43,728 more
than i allotted for the current year,
was submitted to Congress by the
Pi esident.
The Civil and Spanish war pension
increases voted last session, together
■with increases in the cost of operat
ing the Postal Service and the Vet
erans Bureau, account principally Tor
the higher budget, more than offset
ting heavy reductions in expenses of
other branches of the government.
The largest of these reductions—
$30,000,000—was the interest on the
public debt.
The 1928 fiscal year outlay pro
vides for Inauguration of five-year
aviation programs in the army and
navy, with a total of $574,0000,000
for national defense; and the main
tenance of prohibition enforcement
at a total cost of $30,000,000.

Mr. Coolidge asked Congress to
postpone construction of the remain
ing three of the eight light cruisers
which were to have been started be
fore next July in view of this country
now engaging in negotiations "to
broaden our existing treaties with
the great powers which deal with
the elimination of competition in
naval armaments.” He omitted all
provision for the construction of two
rigid airships which Congress author
ized to be built at a cost of. $S,000,
000 prior to July, 1928. Of the $73,
477,380 proposed for aviation in the
army and navy, $20,600,000 i3 for
new planes and $2,400,000 for con
struction of barracks and quarters.
The total appropriations of $680,537,
642 for the War and Navy Depart
ments make3 provision for military
and naval strength of 610,00 men, in
cluding reserves.
"No threatening cloud at the pres
net time darkens the sky. Our in
tent and attitude is one of peace and
friendly regard toward all nations
and peoples. This, however, is not
sufficient warrant to neglect our de
fense and default on necessary pre
cautions,” said the President.
Regarding prohibition enforcement,
he also gave assurance that “what
ever is necessary to put into effect
the expressed will of tho people as
written into the eighteenth amend
ment of the Constitution and tho will
of Congress as expressed in the Vol
stead act will be done.”

herring packer of Seldovia, the ma»
With the exception of S. Feinson,
jority of the operators are remaining
at their plants until the latter part of
this month. Like last season it is
hoped an extension of two weeks will
be granted. Mr. Feinson, 'who con
ducts” one of the largest plants in the
Cook Inlet district, had a fair year,
it is reported though there was much
reason for worry during the slack
runs. He passed through Seward Sun
day on the S. S. Alaska en route to
his Seattle home and office where he
will spend the winter.
