PROBERS OF ARMS SEEKBILL CONTROL War Profit Legislation in Senate Considered Part of Committee’s Job. By the Associated Press The Senate Munitions Committee vesterday sought to take control of any legislation which the President’s committee, headed by Bernard Ba- ruch, may propose to tAke the profits out of war, ‘The group, headed by Senator Nye, Republican, of North Dakota, also laid plans to carry on its inquiry into the munitions industry indefinitely. At the time the President named the Baruch committee, Nye and one or two of his colleagues said they were afraid the White House wanted to cut their investigation short. The committee decided to ask that any administration recommendations for control of the arms makers be referred to it by the Senate. This would give the group the power to re- write the proposals, or disapprove the bill if it disagreed with its provisions. Friction Feared, The War Department's positive stand against nationalization of the munitions industry has convinced the committee that it does not see eye to eye with the administration on-the question of war profits. A majority of the committee has expressed approval of nationalization in one form or another, and its mem- bers plan legislative recommendations once their inquiry has been com- pleted. ‘Nye has declared for a full Govern- ment monopoly on the munitions man- ufacture. Other members support him in varying degrees. The committee chairman explained today that his proposal for nationali- zation would not affect the question of national defense. “I want an Army and Navy suffi- cient to repulse a foe or group of foes that might be so foolish as to at-| tempt to attack us,” the North Da- kotan said. Scoffs at Cost Talk. He scoffed at the War Department view that nationalization would dou- | ble the annual cost of national de- fense in peace times. Convinced that the Senate will grant it more money, the committee ordered the inquiry to continue as though there were no shortage of funds. The investigating staff was directed to re- turn to work the day after Christmas, and hearings are to begin about Jan- uary 8 Nye said the committee would ask for at least $50,000 more. Ancient Church Moved. To save the magnificent Gothic church of Ambrieries, France, it has been taken down stone by stone and rebuilt 200 yards from the original site. It was reconsecrated by the Bishob of Chalons-sur-Marne. The edifice was constructed in the e'eventh century on a cliff overlooking tF - River Marne, and recently its foundat.ons were threatened by subterianean streams.

Machines Cannot Dominate Battlefields, M’ Arthur Says By the Associated Press. Gen, Douglas MacArthur, the Army chief of staff, yesterday sprinkled his annual report with some of these philokophical observa- tions on war and national defense: “‘l’o support a needlessly elaborate national defense is to dissipate L uselessly a portion of the Nation's re- sources; to maintain too little is to court disaster.” “From our own experiénces in that conflict (the World War) we learned that a world power, no matter how pacific its purpose, may not always be able to avoid the commitment of war.” “Military weakness may inspire in others such contemptuous disregard for our national rights that violations thereof become frequent, flagrant, and finally unbearable,” “Hasf ty improvization of an efficient fighting force is wholly impossible, even when the treasure of the Nation is spent without stint.” “It is man that makes war, not ma- GEN.
