Washington votes on Liberia loan and wartime fraud probe
The House passed a 5 million dollar Liberia loan by a narrow nine vote margin as the chamber split 148 to 148 and the measure moves to the Senate. Attorney General Daugherty says wholesale prosecutions will target war contractors defrauding the government of millions. Building in the United States rose 32 percent in 1921 versus 1920, per Labor Department. Budget Director Dawes estimates 1022 outlays and government operating costs under executive control.
