BOARD COMPLETES e Report to Congress Will Give Plan for Equal Distribu- tion Among People. e needed we will make them. No appointment necessary. "A. LEESE Optical Co. 614 9th St. N.W. By the Associated Press. An answer to how war burdens can be distributed equally among the whole American people will be handed to Con- gress within a few days by the War Policies Commission. The commission, which ircludes six No. 80 for Neuritis Homeopathic Pharmacy 1007 H St. NW. NA. 1695 AY WHEN —and we_will supply the | Blank Books. i E. Morrison Paper Co. 1009 Pa. Ave. A 4 STAREVENT members of the cabinet, four Senators and four Representatives, has just con- cluded a study which also embraced methods to remove profits of war. It was created by Congress after 10 years of egitation by veterans’ organizations. In general the recommendations will follow the lines of a common doctrine on war responsibilities lald down by prominent witnesses during the many months of testimony taking. The more prominent witnesses included Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the War In- dustries Board in 1918; Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal Reserve Board; Howard Coffin, head of the Aircraft Production Board during the World War; Daniel Willard, president of the | Baltimore & Ohio Railroad; Newton D. Baker, war-time Secretary of War, and Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff of the Army. Conscripting Idea Rejected. [ In addition, 8 number of representa- ( tives of pacifist organizations appeared and claimed the only solution to the problem assigned it was through pre- vention of war. Their recommenda- tions included adherence by the United States to the League of Nations, recog- nition of Russia and cancellation of war debts. The four men whose testimony was taken by the commission as offering the best basis for recommendations to ess with a view to legislation in the event of an outbreak of war were MacArthur, Baruch, Baker and Coffin. All rejected the idea of conscripting in war time every man and every dol- jar in any gigantic effort to gain vic- tory as quickly as possible. They claimed such a plan would be nothing short of confiscation and so- cialistic and that such a sweeping meth- od of equalizing war burdens would be unwieldy and unnecessary. They agreed that the Government should be given of control to avold profiteering fi some in war time on the one hand and unjust sacrifice by others on the other hand. Agree on Price-Fixing Control. They agreed there should be an in- tensive study and analysis in peace time for the devising and organization of a method and system of operation ready to function under the President the moment that a major emergency was | upon the Nation. | They also agreed that provisions should be made for control by the Gov- ernment of price fixing in war time and the assignment of priorities in the order of the needs for different com- modities. The example used in the E:‘“"" of priorities assignments was t of rubber, for which the United States is almost wholly dependent on | foreign sources. Under the priorities fixation plan, | the Government would be enabled to assign a figure, such as 30 per cent, to the Army, 35 per cent to the Navy and 35 per cent to public consumption to utilize the 1,000,000,000 pounds of rubber nofmally used annually in the United States. ‘The commission’s reports include exhaustive testimony on the principal comm necessary in war time, and conservation, substitutions and methods of reducing their general use to con- THURS DAY See Uednesaday Stor SEARS,ROEBUCK a2 CO.

In the case of rubber, conservation and substitution would be resorted to y, with the small rubber the United States encouraged as as pos- sible. In the case of substitutes would be employed for all of ifs uses, while in the case of manganese Amer- ica’s own unexploited low-grade man- ganese would be developed to replace imports of foreign high-grade manga- nese. Virtually all members of the commission opposed immediate passage by Congress of legislation to earry out the commission’s recommendations, but there is a general agreement that such legislation should be in readiness to be passed the moment a great emergency loomed or simultaneously with a war declaration. Attorney General Mitchell, who is & member of the commission, was brought into its work in his capacity as Attor- ney General when he was asked for an opinion whether the constitution must be amended to allow legislation necessary for the Government to fix prices in war time. Legal experts in both the administration and Congress were divided sharply on whether such an_amendment Was necessary. Secretary Hurley of the War De- partment served as chairman of the commission. Its other members included Secretary Adams of the Navy Depart- ment, Secretary Hyde of the Department of Agriculture, Secretary Doak of the De- partment of Labor, Mr. Mitchell, Sena- tors Reed, Republican, Pennsylvani Vandenberg, Republican, Michiga: Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas; Swan- son, Democrat, Virginia, and Represen- tative Hadley, Republican, Washington; Holaday, Republican, Illinois; OCollins, Democrat, Mississippi, E 66,000 VISIT SMITHY Year's Record Made by Historic Place at Gretna Green. The blacksmithy at Gretna Green, Scottish border, where many a runaway marriage has been contracted, was visited last year by 66,000 people, who paid a small fee for admission. Over the same period there was an average of one marriage a day. —_ Prince William of Prussia, eldest son of the German ex-Crown Prince, has " (OLorano ALIFORNIA /MISSOURI " PACIFIC LINES N 7 e *ASERVICE INSTITUTION” MISSOURI PACIFIC STAGES Auniliary to Missouri Pacific Railroad DATA ON VETERANS HELD INCONCLUSIVE Civil Service Figures on Preference Mean Little, Employment Head Declares in Reply. ‘The Civil Service Commission's state- ment in The Star defending the preference given veterans seeking to| enter Federal employ was termed not | conclusive in a letter today from .'ohnf Arthur Shaw, director, Veterans’ Em- | ployment Service, whose original state- | ment prompted the commission’s an- swer. Disclaiming any intent to criticize the | [ n, whose “fairness” to vet-| erans he emphasizes, Mr. Shaw says: “The commission states that whereas but 10 per cent of the wage earners are veterans, 24.73 per cent of the appointments made during the past 13 years have been of veterans. “These figures would seem to be con- | clusive, but they are not. The veterans are 10 per cent of all wage earners, in- cluding the men and women too old to take Civil Service examination and those too young. But the veteran work- ers will make up at least 25 per cent of those wage earners who are within the age limits prescribed by law for Civil Service position after the allen wage earners are deducted. Thus, it will be seen that the appointment of veterans to Civil Service positions dur- ing the past 13 years has been in ex- act proportion to the number of eligi- D.
