It is easy, of course, theoretically to distinguish between an inquiry within the province of the Department of Justice and one which is aimed merely at alleged waste,. or neglect, or mismanagement, or in- efficiency, apart from any appropriate basis for a clvil suit to recover mis- appropriated moneys, or a criminal prosecution. v “As a practical matter, however, is evident that in the endeavor to determine whether there is a basis for g suit by the government or a a rcivil criminal ‘prosecytion, it will be nec- for us to make a thorough in- 'y into the’ entire history of air- craft production since the beginning the war and all proceedings which have been taken by any persans or corporations concerned therewith. We shall not be able to ascertain whether there has heen dishonesty or malversion of any kind unle: thoroughly into all the transactions which have heen had. discover a basis for civil s by the government they will be ituted. If we find grounds for a minal prosecution it will be in r to o before the Grand jury to n indictments. If we find no suf- sis for such proceedings our concludings, to be convincing to the coyntry, could not well be stated as a mere negative conclusion in general ns, but should be accompanicd by a fair, candid and adequate statement of the facts which our investigation has disclosed. We should, of course, in no case make any statement which from a military point of view should not be made, and if we had a basis for civil or criminat proceedings we should properly reserve the evidence so far as it would be appropriately disclosed upon the trial and previous- ly withheld. “But T am very sure that the coun- try would not be content with our inv quivy, and particularly if we discover no ground for further proccedings, we showed the ba for our in an adequate report of we ‘e ascertained.

The resolutions were prompted by cur deep conviction that plans for a greatly enlarged offensive war pro- gram ‘should be immediately adopted and worked out in detail. The ne- cessity for tremendous c¢ rt on the part of this country has been so ably and eloquently expressed in your re- cent utterances that we re moved to tender to you the cance that the people of Connecticut are rcady to’ contribute their full share of the men, money and munitions necessary tc the adequate fulfillment of the chligations which such an cffort in- volves.” The text of the resolution adopted by -the Connecticut State Council of Defense follows: “VOTED That, | Hartford, | urging that the now men, million have been as Whereas conditions a general disposition to permit our investigation to proceed unembar- rassed by any other parallel cou of action. Clearly as we may recog- nize the authority to conduct an- cther official inquiry at the me time we cannot doubt that any offl- cial inquiry into the same course of conduct, although with another aim, would tend to make difficult, if not impossible, the successful prosecu- tion of our own. Either nothing of importance would be elicited, which would make such an inquiry need- less, or points, would be brought out which would at once suggest to the guilty, if there be such, where effort should be made to block successful prosecution.” “Even with the best intention .in the world it would be almost impos- sible to know in advance what should be ‘gone into and what should be left untouched. We might be follow- ing a promising clew, only to find our efforts unintentionally thwarted. We are instructed to have a prompt and thorough investigation, and my desire is that we should have the fullest opportunity to make such an investigation, and in order that we may have this opportunity it is de- sirable that it should be generally understood that when we are through we shall state the facts we have as- certained in the manner T have sug- gested above, to the end that all may be satisfied to await the result of our investigation. When we have reached that result T should suppose our report would have such a thor- oughness that it would be accepted as the final statement in the matter, unless, of course, gome new cvidenc not discovered by us should there- after come to light.

Differences concerning the Cham- berlain resolution were straightened out by the adoption of a substitute resolution permitting the appoinment of investigating sub-committees, but it was tacitly understood that the one on alrcraft production was to keep its hands off what has happened in the past, so that Mr. Hughes will have a clear fleld.

Her hands would break out in water blisters which would break and spread. She was so bad at times she was unable to feed herself. The itching and burning was so bad she could not sleep at night. Her fin- gers were swollen and she could not put her hands in water at all. The eruption caused disfigurement for the time being. “‘She was treated, but it did no good. I saw a Cuticura Soap and Ointment advertisement and sent for a free sam- ple.
