Already an inquiry has been made as to how much it would | |cost the Government to manufac- |ture its own guns and bombs and ships; a drive for a Government monopoly on the implements of war appears in the offing. Tale of International Intrigue | The committee in its last session (heard a story of international in- trigue, of alleged graft and bribery |reaching from Central America to | China. Some of the testimony pro- voked diplomatic representatives from abroad; no less majestic a' | figure than King George of Eng- land was pictured once before the committee substantially as an arms salesman for British interests—com- peting at one time against officers of the army and navy of the United States. The inquiry brought forth secrets long-guarded, and at one time com- | mittee investigators charged cer- tain Government departments with blocking them by withholding ma- ‘u'nal information. A great deal of what was told the |inquiry subsequently was denied by | the principals involved; munitions | manufacturers struck out sharply| |against Government manufacture |of war weapons on the ground it | could mot be as efficient as private ‘operahom Advocate Large Aimies Chairman Nye of the committee |reached the belief, he said, that |some American munitions interests | were cooperating with foreign com- panies to increase their profits |through advocating large armies {and navies. Among the many accu- sations put forward, either through | witnesses, matter dug up by com- mittee investigators, or upon the statements of Senators were these: That a son of the late French Premier Clemenceau was list- ed as a former agent in Europe of an English munitions firm. That Sir Basil Zaharoff, “mys- tery man” of Europe, got com- missions from an American con- cern which had agreed with a British company to split the world’s submarine building busi- ness. That World War German U- boats were built on an Ameri- can-owned patent. That a sub- marine ‘salesman seriously at- tempted to attend the 1926 dis- armament conference as a dele- gate. That an American Ambassa- dor and other high Govern- ment officials in 1922 helped an American submarine com- pany to sell its wares in South America. That one company was successful in fomenting na- tional animosities to sell muni- tions. Tha$ 4an American naval cruiser was sent abroad as a “show case” to help a private firm sell its boats. That the United States war and navy de- partments were at one time “co-operating fully” in helping an American munitions con- cern build up foreign business. That arms manufacturers knew as early as 1908 — six years before the World War—a great conflit was brewing. gm||||||||||||||m|||m|nmu|||llunmmmmmmummlulu|||mmmuunmmummmml 1||||||mnnmmnflm|mnmuummnnnmmum pon merchants.
