Results cannot always be figured in dollars and cents. I believe that cx- penditures should be just as low as they can be made, not only in the state but in the nation, counties and cit- tes.

I am a tax- payer myself and dislike to pay taxes as much as the next fellow.

Dawes, former head of the army supply procurement service in France, told one of them today that th value of their work had been rendered useless through injections of Partisan politics. “I bitterly resent this effort to re- flect upon the entire army because some poor devil blundered in Switzer- land,” he shouted. “You cannot put a blotch on the army, What the hell did we go in for—to steal money? It was not a Republican or a Democratic war. It was an American war and yet as a rule these committees try to bring in partisan politics, “You could use your time investi- gating to a better advantage right here trying to save disgraceful gov- ernmental waste. You could save more money for the people. But as to France you haven't got evidence to make a case if one existed and I don't believe it does. “I am not here to make charges that would blacken the name of 2, soldier who cannot come in to be heard.” Asked about grafters who followed the American army to France, Gen. Dawes said: “Yes, they were there, some of the most despicable character on earth,” things it needed at exorbitant figures. trying to help the army by selling it There was one man we caught and deported. What's in a name. Oh, what’s the use. I am not a muck- raker, He was a traitor and I wish we could have shot him.” There were many women at the hearing, but it didn’t fease the gen- eral, who swore, constantly. “Long aftgr “this committee Is dead and gofie, the achievements of the American, army will stand as an everlasting blaze of glory,” he de- clared. ‘You have tried to make a mountain out of a mole hill, but thank God the army was American, not Republican nor Democrat." Asserting that the people were tired of war talk and fault-finding, Gen. Dawes, banging the table, said: “There's no news in it. If I wasn't here strutting around and swearinz there would by ao news in this.” Gen. Dawes ripped out a streak of oaths as he took up the attempt in some quarters to criticize Gen, Pershing. ‘ “It will be twenty-five or fifty years before Pershing’s place tn history is fixed,” he said. “He could not have won the war had he sought to put popularity above duty. And let me tell you—the doughboys now com- plaining will live t6 see the day when they will be proud that they fought under him.” Declaring authority and responsi- bility in the army should be central- ized in peace times as well as in war times, Gen. Dawes said the Amert- can army ‘was “deteriorating again into a bureaucracy which {s bound to Prove inefficient.” “Look at the pinhead politicians who are raising hell abgut promotions for men who earned them in France,” he exclaimed. “They’re doing it for petty reasons. It’s a dirty shame. I wasn’t in the regular army, but I can be fair.” The committee was told the “next war)? would “break out overnight”, and that the army and navy probabl: would get into a row as to which was to boss the affair. Gen. Dawes declared the United States aviation program hud been “a terrible failure” largely because of “overconfidence and inexperience.” Even if we didn’t have the planes, we had the aviators—the best in the world," he added.
