...such a plan. So what could be wiser than for the President to be Champion Tax Cutter No. 1? In the first Cabinet meeting after election day he explained his scheme, then he held a short conference with Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and General Lord, Director of the Budget Bureau. It mattered not if the general policy of Mr. Mellon was to use Treasury surplus to retire the national debt; this time the President had to make a political move and make it quickly. The announcement came from the White House: A study of the revenue returns shows...
While the development of military and naval aircraft is being proceeded with in secret, no less than 11,200,000 yen ($5,600,000) was included in the budget last week for the purpose of subsidizing and developing commercial air routes alone...

Heretofore, his was a high-handed office-he was not bound by the decisions of any of the executive departments; the Budget Act gave him a term of 15 years during which time he was not removable by the President.

"Because of the progress of the native movement in China and adjacent countries," said the report, "American leadership no longer is paramount there."* Presumably reference was made to the fact that the Asiatic "Y" has long been selfsupporting. Wealthy mandarins, Confucians, Buddhists contribute. Curtailment of Asiatic activity was recommended, and extension of program for South America, where "recent developments have opened opportunity...
