Mr. President. after hearing the statement of the Secretary of the Department of Labor before the subcommittee. I felt very much inclined to put in the bill as a deficiency the item of $4.200 for naturalizationcertificate paper. the item of $3.550 for "machinery. including typewriters. adding machines. addressing machines. numbering machines. and parts therefor." The remainder of the nearly $19.800 asked for at the time is made up of the following items: Stationery. $5.125. hardware. metals. cordage. and leather and saddlery. $316. dry goods. flags. and notions. $254. lumber. mill work. packing boxes. and so forth. $175. paints. oils. glass. and painters supplies. $40. soap and cleansing materials. $96. ice. $112. and a long list of little items which we did not consider should be placed upon the urgent deficiency bill. When we came to look into the matter further we found that typewriters and adding machines had been borrowed. I suppose with the understanding that ivhen the appropriation was made they would be paid for out of the appropriation. Therefore it is not going to hamper the work of the department. so far as these items are concerned. if the amount is omitted from this bill. As I have said. I thought that the naturalizationcertificate paper ought to be provided for in this bill. but the committee thought otherwise. owing to the fact that there is no question that the regular bill carrying these items will be passed here in ample time. So it was not considered necessary to include the item on this bill. Those are the reasons why it is not in this urgent deficiency bill.
