OPPOSES NEW LAW AFFECTING DUPONTs

opportunity TO examine the figures Of
the DUPONT Company They declined
and | am not criticizing them for
the dcclination-they declined TO sub
nit cost figures. / believe | could
demonstrate to this House by num-
Der of reasons why the factory cost
of the Government should not be the
factory cost of the DUPONT Company,
and that their factory cost should be
less; that there are certain economies
that they ought to have over the Gov
eminent. Yet that is a matter OF
inference. but we accepted the factory
cost to the Government as their cost
and then as to all the items we added
as being properly creditable to the
DUPONT Company and not chargeable
to the Government we take the figures
of the DUPONT Company as furnished
by Col Buckner a year ago. The best
can say is that the committee dill
gently inquired, and ! think the hear
ings will show that the diligence was
not without reward, TO find actual
facts, approaching the subject with
out prejudice. without a desire to do
harm to anybody, and the committee
united in the view that the prices
suggested are reasonable prices
In closing his side of the argument,
Mr. Head said: I'm addition to the
questions Which have asked the
gentleman from Kentucky and the an
swers, which have covered the points
very thoroughly, want to say that,
1 in my opinion, the relations between
the Government and the powder COM
pany I'm the past have been such that
imposed upon them an excessive in
vestment and that condition exists
today The powder company, by the
requirements of the departments, is
maintaining three plants to obtain the
output Of only one. Getting away from
the necessities of that condition
would, of course. create a different
condition as TO the price of the I'm
ished material.
"The investigation that Congress
and the committee has made into the
cost of powder has been very thor
ough and very complete in the last
four sessions of Congress, and / could
only wish that the expenditures oI
tho Army and Navy, aggregating $780,
600 coo. only ! per cent OF which Is
expended in ammunition. might meet
with the same thorough investigation
and examination Of prices that ha:
been given to the manufacture of pow.
der Today the manufacturers o
smokeless powder are meeting tha
lcomr- tition which comes from con
tinued probing and examination at th'
hands of Congress and the exac
knowledge which is in the hands o
the officers of the War and Navy De
ipartments. And this, ] believe is more
effective than competing manufac
turers.
This examination, probing, and
criticism. however. has been almos
entirely confined to the ! per cent
spent for powder. while the 90 pc
cent. spent for guns, battleships. col
Hers. and other equipment is accept
ed as a matter of fact, none Of whicl
: is valuable without the best powde
Z and plenty Of it.
Our apparent object might be criti
cized as being more OF desire &
secure a cheap powder than the bes
} powder and enough powder"
