HURLEY PROPOSES WAR CONSCRIPTION Ties In Recovery Program With Five-Point Plan at Arms Hearing. By the Assoclated Press Recommendations for conscription of capital and man power in time of war, coupled with a program for na- tional recovery., were laid before the Senate Munitions Committee today by Patrick J. Hurley, former Secretary of War. | The one-time chairman of the War | Policies Commission told the commit- tee he believed Congress had full au- thority to seize all profits from war npsx-mmns He added the President | Lad power to conscript industry as| well as men in conducting a war. | He then swung into his story ot the \ Nation’s needs. “There should be a re-statement of | cur rationa! objectives,” he said, “tell- ing what is our aim after 150 years of education and prosperity States Five-Point Program. He outlined a five-point objective as follows: “To provide for equitable distribu- tion of income." “To maintain equality tunity.” “To promote education.” | “To eliminate poverty and crime.” | “To give every citizen an oppor-!‘ tunity to pursue spiritual, cultural as | well as material happiness.” Challenging earlier assertions of Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missouri, the trimly dressed Hurley declared ! the World War had made the world safe for democracy. “I would have to go a long way tu\ tear away the last shred of idealism | from President Wilson to say we en- tered the war to make profits for munitions makers.” he said. “I think we entered the war to make the world safe for democracy.’ “T think the world is more satisfac- | tory for any free man than any time | in history,” he added of oppor- Fundamentals Held Safe. He conceded that dictatorships in Europe indicated democracy had lost ground since the war, but lellé‘ra((‘d; “the fundamentals of democracy are! safe.” He declared he was in favor of arms | embargoes to prevent shipment of | munitions to warring nations and de- nied as “unqualifiedly, cowardly and | maliciously false” a publication cmnz\ him as having opposed an embargo of | arms to the Chaco war zone in South ! America. He conceded he may have opposed an embargo on American munitions | without having an agreement among other nations to do likewise. The committee will hear tomorrow James A. Drain, past national com- mander of the American Legion. and James E. Van Zandt, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Prominent Figures Assailed. In a turbulent session yesterday the | committee heard charges by William B. Shearer, big-Navy advocate, many promincnt figures were “anti- | American,” either for opposing pre- paredness or seeking to have !hct United States join the World Court or the League of Nations. He assailed the “internationalism” of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi- dent of Columbia University. naming also Bernard Baruch and Mrs. Carrie | Chapman Catt. Baruch is to testify | before the committee on March 25.| Chairman Nye said. Shearer declared Butler had acted as “constitutional adviser” to the; British go\ernm(nt in that empire's change to a “commonwealth of na- tions.” “Does that convict him of being fl‘ poor American, if he aided the Bnb' ish government as an authority on the Constitution?” Senator Clark, Demo- crat, ot Missouri asked. “I have just as much right to pass | verdict on Nicholas Murray Butler as | he has on me,” Shearer retorted. Barbour Ridicules Attack. Senator Barbour, Republican, of | New Jersey decried the witness’ attack on Butler as “frivolous and imma- terial.” “In making such a charge,” he de- | clared, “you should be prepared with specific information.” “I will supply it.” Shearer said. A tense moment came when, in a dispute with Shearer, Senator Bone used the word “cowardly.” Shearer charged toward the Senator, but Chairman Nye ordered him to his seat. “Then stop hurling that cowardly | stuff ° Shearer demanded. This exchange followed Shearer’s defense of his actions in insisting on | a strong American Navy when he appeared at the Geneva Naval Limi- tations Conference in 1927 as a rep- resentative of the shipyards. Shearer charged that Drew Pear- ®on, & newspaper man at the naval conference, had perjured himself in asserting an American naval officer had said Shearer “broke up” the Geneva conference. He said Pearson had been engaged by Sir Willmott Lewis, British news- paper man, to make the statement. Lewis, he described as “a very active” British propagandist in Washington, “putting his nose in everything.” MAN DIES AFTER FALL James M.

In the course of the discussion Sen- | ator Gore, Democrat of Oklahoma, told how one of his employes had | dressed in working clothes and mingled with men on the relief roll here to: find out what they think of the situa- | tion and what passes through their | minds. Gore said the employe found that | in a group of young men, he discovered the chief topic of conversation “was matching prison records, the hero seeming to be either the one who had | been in prison most often or who had | lingered longest behind prison walls.” The Oklahoma Senator said he does | | not assert or assume that this incident | is typical. He suggested it may have | been due in part “to the bravado of | youth.” He added, however, that it may shed some light “on some of the | by-products” of the relief situation. Copeland Replies. Replying to Gore, Senator Copeland said there may be some cases of the kind cited, but added, “I should not be willing to let the remarks of the Senator from Oklahoma give the im- pression that the majority of the peo- ple in bread lines are underworld characters. I happen to know persons : | of my own acquaintance who are m‘ the relief line " Long started the local discussion by saying he had been informed “that | here in the District, where people by the hundreds have had to be employed ' to operate these new bureaus. never- theless there is an unemployment re- lief which costs, for the dole, about & million to a million-and-a-half dollars a month.” “People Flock to Capital.” Reynolds, who is a member of the District Committee, told Long he un- derstood the amount of relief required for the District is 15 or 20 per cent higher than in any city of equal popu- lation, “which is ascribable to the fact that people are flocking to the city of Washinglon. the Capital of the coun- try. from all over the United States.” Senator Robinson of Arkansas, | Democratic leader, joined in to point out that large numbers come here seeking employment. Long doubted whether they become eligible for re- lief immediately on arrival. Robinson said he presumed that if these new arrivals get in the situation of not being able to care for themselves some provision has to be made for them.
