Washington, D. C., Maréh 12—Phe wrangle over awards to navy officers of war decorations drew nearer a con- clusion last night when Chairman Page of the senate naval committee, m: de public the trio of reports the ‘inve gators of the subcommittee produced."| The three republican members in the majority report, which sharpiy respects, while the two democrats sub- mitted individual reports defendinz the secretary’s course and directing their attack, in turn, at Rear Admirat William S. Sims, the most prominent figure in’ the controversy stirred up over nayy medals and crosses, In one respect the three reports are unique. They agree on two points, that no permanent harm has come to naval morale as a result of the awards or the controversy, and that enlisted men received too small a share of rec- ognition for their services, MAJORITY ARRAIGN DANIELS The majority report, signed by Sen- ators Hale, McCormick and Poindex- ter arraigns Mr. Daniels for not hay- ing fully advised officers as: to his plans in making awards and asserts that his policy of decorating officers who lost ships would be’ detrimental to the navy. Senator Pittman, in the first minor- ity report, characterized the investiga- tion as a tempest in a teapot, “Too ridiculous to be ‘mentioned in connec- ‘tion with the report of a fighting navy. In the second minority report Senator Trammel declares that, nav, morale had not been harmed, as Ad- miral Sims had contended, and assert- ed that Mr. Daniels followed establish- ed naval custom in changing recom- mendations. of his. subordinates, as those officers themselves had done \ with proposals of their juniors. *_- CONCLUSIONS REACHED The majority report reached the fol- lowing conclusions: That. Secretary Daniels did not make known to the se: @ his: policy ‘as to awards, especially with regard to the relative importance. of duty on Shore and - afloat, Fewer changes would have been seen necessary later had he done so, the report said. That the secretary did not ascertain from the officers who recommended honors the relative order of merit and did not himself give sufficient consider- ation to that question, injury to morale and depreciation of the yalu of awards resulting, That Secretary Daniels did not re- quire a sufliciently high standard of meritorious conduct in conferring hon- ors on officers who lost ships and was of commanders who lost. ships than o7, other commanders who, instead vf losing their ships, destroyed or seri- ously damaged the ships of the enemy That the statute covering naval awards should be amended to avoid fu ture controver: In regard to\‘certain. matters not di- rectly connected with the question of awards developed during the hearings, referring to charges as to lack of full co-operation with the allied admiral- ties made My Admiral Sims, the report. said that they were not at this time within: the -province of the committee. RISE IN PRICES OF FOOD CHECKED Products on Whole Chgaper Than Others Now Consumed pases MA ' The latest information available con- cerning wholesale food prices indi- cates a sharp check occurring about the beginning of February, 1920. The New York “Annalist” publishes ‘an in- dex number showing the fluctuation in the average wholesale prices of 25. food commodities and this index num- ber, which at the end of January stood at approximately 297, on February 28 had declined to 290. This is only four points higher than it stood at the same time in 1918, two years: ago.. The significance of this index number is increased by the fact that it is based on 25 food commodities selected and arranged to represent a theoretical family’s food budget. According to the most recent esti- mates of the department of labor, food is now a smaller percentage of the average American family budget than ever before. The average American family spends — about 38 percent of its budget for food small increased in food ‘prices since 1918 we find that the percentage: of increase as applied to the family budget is only 30.8 percent. This is explained by. the fact that while food prices as of October, 1919, had in- creased 80.7 percent over 1913, cloth- ing had gone up 139 percent, and furn- iture and furnishings 139 percent. The largest, increase in the items which must be bought by the average American family, has occurred in cloth and clothing.; The bureau of labor statistics index number for December, 1919, shows that if we take the price of this group of items for 1913 to be 100, then in December, 1919, the price stood at 335. The next greatest in- crease has occurred in lumber and building materials, which, on the scale of 100, jumped from 98 in 1913 to 363 in December, 1919. The latest final data dvailable con- Gerning wholesale prices are the Index Numbers published by the bureau of labor statistics for December, 1919. {These give the following results for the chief groups, in reading which it is to be remembered that the aver- age for 1913 equals 100: Farm . 234 Farm pi 244 Cloths and clothing + 335 “more zealous to further the interests |. of “Good Republican” | [Be What We Call & HOPATIO S.
