Delegation finances for London talks at $200000 limit
The idelisation headquarters report a two week old shift for the children's dining room into a clerical workroom. Naval experts prepared data for London, having left New York and worked through a three day holiday. Funds for the delegation are $200000, insufficient for two months even with strict economy, while transportation totals $20000 and daily expenses are about $2000. A congressional appropriation seems likely to extend the stay for three to four months.
