Even before his views on- this eubject were expressed, Mr. Dawes sharply denounced the oresent system of condueing the federal government, an of a hundreq years standing. he declared, with which investigators might Letter afford to deal instead of trying 1 seoop up water already over the dam. Mr. Dawes was called by democratic members of the committes to Tebut testi- mony relating to waste and extravagan- ¢ and pa wu rewrence to Hqui- datisn of American mccounts in France and sale cf surplus stocks to the French government. Answering charges that food and clothing supplies . might have brought more than the $400,000,- 00 paid by France, Mr. Dawes tuthed sharply upon one of his questioners, Rep- resentative Bland, and shouted: republican, Indiana, Fool Argument Hurt Grest Britaln is just that sort of fool argumeft t forced Great Britain to_hold on to stocks anq attemot to drive a hard bargain.

Quite a lot of the questioning related to Great Britain. “I am no more ashamed to stand up here for England than for the United States” said Mr. Dawes, jumping from Mhis chair and racing around he little wommittee room. “It seems to be fash- iomable in American polftics to_attack England.

Before the house met, its naval com- mittee received from (eneral Pershing a warning against fostering national spirit of pacifism and unpreparednésh. This warning {-§ pered the general's ap- proval of a worid disarmament confer- ence, and was accompanied by a decla- ration that'until all the world powers had agreed on a disarmament policy, it would be “unwise and safe” for the United States to discontinue carrying out its ar- my and pavy policies. Preceding debate on the army bill, the house received from the appropriations committee the annual naval bill with its provisions for continuing work on 17 su- perdreadnoughts and battle cruisers and other craft, At the same time, Semator Verry, of Rhode Island, a democratic member of the naval committee, broke into ghe tariff debate to oppose Senator Borah's resolution to halt work on these ships for six months while experts de- cided what type of oraft was the best in the light of lessons learned from the ‘World war.
