Whatever the result may be, the unloading of such unfinished and dead cargo as the Florida ship-canal and the Passamaquoddy project signalizes the beginning of a stringent economy on the part of the Administration. The age-old adage, never too late to learn, seems to have been invoked in the nick of time by that distinguished political figure, "Honest Jim" Farley...
