The investigation was inspired part- Iy by the knowledge that a huge ex- pansion was to be proposed in the Amerfcan army, and a desire to learn how well equipped the ordnance de- partment was to meet the demand for more fleld artillery, and partly by disturbing reports reaching vavion members of the committee that thing were not progressing favorably in pro- duction of artille; These reports were backed extent at recent conferences mittee members with the war council- at the war department. At a recent conference frank statements concern- ing ordnance filled committee mem- hers with gloom. The statements made by the war council members did not coincide with the optimistic view of Secretary Baker, rcpeated often, that “things are coming along well” in the manufacture of ordnance. Aliege Months Wasted. sub-committee members said that the outstanding fact was that months wvere wasted in absolutely futile at- tempts by American ordnance ex- perts in trying to improve detalls of Iiritish, French, and Italian gun car- wges. The iages being made to- day, it was said, were essentially the British, French, and Italian designs. Aamerican ingenuity, even at the sac- jce of months of precious time, :d fo improve them sufficiently to ant adoption of the American model. Therefore, the ordnance de- lartment finally went back to the iuropean plans, upon which it might begun manufacturing shortly the United States into the var in April, 1917, American tools, jigs, and dies were of obsolete types, unsuited to modern noeds, the sub-committee learned, ac- cording to members. The ordnance aerartment had a large appropria- tion for making jigs, tools, and dies, but apparently did not have the new oves ready in time. The most disturbing feature of the whole situation, sub-committee mem- lers said, was the fear that with the American army greatly expanded tne Allies might not he able to fill {heir agreement to provide General I'ershing's armies with all the fleld ertillery needed this year. he committee has not Pleted work, which will go into cvery angle of the manufacture of i and heavy ordnance.
