HeaId Defends American Manufactured
Smokeless Powder as Best in the World

Mr.. Health for a moment surren- |
dercd the floor to Mr.. Good, who SAID:
81 want to call the gentleman's atten-
tion TO the testimony of Admiral
Twining, at the bottom Of page 30S
of the hearings, wherein he gives
history of the development Of smoke
less powder in this country, and he
says:
"rhe earliest knowledge I have in
regard to smokeless powder of the
type we are now using is that IL was
discovered by a French chemist nam
ed Vielle about 1882. The French gov
ernment began to use Il In 1887 in
small sizes, a powder which might be
said to be in general the same as we
are using today. although some minor
differences or changes have been
made in the manufacture. However,
it was made according to much the
same smokeless-p powder formula that
we use today About 1898 the same
kind Of powder was used in Russia,
and they probably discovered the Sc
cret in France. In 1896 one of our
chemist in the service of the navy,
named Patterson, who is now the
chemist In charge of the powder fac
tory, discovered a method of produc-
ing soluble nitrOcellulose of 1875 nitra-
tion, which was higher than had been
thought possible before. In 1897 the
navy began the manufacture of smoke
! less powder at Newport. r.. l., and
manufactured about 1000 pounds
that year. believe that some OF that
powder is still in existence and that
il is good powder yet Lieut. Berna-
dou and Capt. Converse. two naval
officers who had been prominently
identified with ordnance matters, made
a very extensive study Of smokeless
powder and took out certain patents
! believe that these patents are not
valid today, and ! do not think that
any royalty has been paid in consc-
iquence of them
In closing his argument, Mr.. Heald
lsaid in reply:
Il suggest to the gentleman that the
production of 900 pounds OF powder
in one year, or about pounds per
day, is not a commercial manufacture,
and ! think his reference supports
what ! have just said. that the theory
of it had been worked by the officers
of the service: but the department
had brought together the commercial
manufacturers Of powder and asked
them to make it a commercial sue
cess. They did make il commercial
success, and when this government
Z started to manufacture on a CONNER
cial basis these same manufacturers
furnished freely without expense to
the government. plans for processes
and machinery The government did
not supply the private manufacture

a smokeless powder, and then called
together the manufacturers of this
country and laid before them the the
ory Of its manufacture and asked them
10 bring about its commercial develop.
mena. The commercial development
of the manufacture Of smokeless pow
der has neever been at the hands Of
the army or navy. II has been wholly
and entirely in the hands of private
manufacturers. When the govern
ment started to make il commercial
ly. it was with the assistance of the
experts from these companies, who
gave to the experts from these COM
panies, who gave to the government
all of their processes. and not the gov
ernment giving to the private manu-
facturers their discoveries Of their
improved processes. And further. the
secret Of the manufacturer of these
powders is not one that is kept from
any manufacturer. There is no secret
about it.
"The manufacturer OF gunpowder in
France is exclusively of government
monopoly, and in the light of the his
tory OF explosions of magazines on
French vessels, ] think there is rea-
son to believe that this country has
certainly a higher graed of powder
than that which is produced by the
French government monopoly.
Objects to Government Manufacture
81 for one do not believe in this
gocernment exclusively manufacture
ing its own powder The fact has
been referred to on this floor that pr
vate manufacturers of smokeless pow.
der in this country are beginning tc
gsell their product to the governments
Of foreign countries. That may be de-
lpreciated 1t has been. The qeustior
is asked, Why should the powder
manufacturers of this county sell pow.
der to foreign countries with whom
we might engage in war? There is
mo difference between selling then
powder than manufacturing for then
the battleships which we are glad L
build in our shipyards. and we nevei
miss an opportunity to secure con
tracts for them. | believe that thu
sale of powder to foreign countries
has been made with the concurrence
and the consent of this governmen
and with the assistance of the Wa
! Department and the Navy Department
and the State Department It wOulI
not be rash to assume that this con
dition has been brought about so tina
these private factories may be he'll
intact as a reserve for this countr
in time ofg war That policy is on
which Congress seems determined Il
destroy, and. in my opinion. if
abolishes it the result will be the sam
condition of government mopOnoi
