“New Invention

u; Evidence Before The Public

Accounts Committee As Re- ported _ In The Patriot The Assistant Auditor Admits That $24,465,815 Was Included Twice On The Revenue Side Of The Public Accounts, But “Only A Balance Figure.” '

_From the report of the Public Accounts Com- mittee in yesterday's Patriot, we quote the fol- lowing illuminating evidence:

Mr. Massey, Assistant Auditor, examined.

Question: “How do you explain this $24,465.83 and the $72,731.33?»Is the $24,465.83 included in the Revenue twice?" (NOTE--"revenue", not "revenue side of the account")

Answer: “it is not. lT IS lN THE REVENUE SlDE, but is not included in the revenue twice. lT_lS ONLY A BALANCING FIGURE."

Question: "ls it correctly stated on the oth- er sidc?" '

Answer: "Mr. Andersgn gan explain that."

>l<

Question: “You are sure as an experienced man, that it has not been added in $1,175,138.79 twice?" (NOTE-The Guardian's contention is that it is added twicein the total $1,483,451.35, so that this question is a mere quibble).

Answer: “No it has not. He had included $24,- 000 on the other side to balcnce the, page. He coulcihavelefflt out." ' i l

Here, from the mouth of the Government's witness, is the whole matter in a nut shell. The Government has taken credit twice on the rev- enue side of its accounts for $24,465.83, al- though no such additional revenue was receiv- ed, as the Bank Pass Book proves, yet it made its statements of revenue and expenditure bal- ance, showing a grand total of $1,483,451.35 on each side. i

What reliance is to be placed on accounts bal- nnced in this haphazard fashion, the public may well ask.

"The next war will be so terrible that I hate to contenoplofc it." laid the General, who was chief of the army signal corps during the World War and who once was military attache at the American Rube”? in London. “It will be fought by un- seen engines of destruction high above the clouds. It will be a war of extermination, direcfcd not against our strongholds, but against our cities."

General Bquler was thoroughly disappointed with his "monohhone," an attachment for the ordinlw telephone, turning it into a radio receiver without additional equip- ment. The General said he couldn't sell, the device simply because it would bankrupt all tlw grout radio manufacturing concerne-
