ASKS GOVERNMENT
"EXPLOS|VE TRUST"
Congressman Kent Proposes
Resolution to Further Cause
of National Peace.

A resolution proposing a Government
''rnoropoly'' in the manufacture OF ex-
plosives is the peace proposal of Con.
gressman William Kent of California
Mr.. Kent, in his resolution, does not
refer directly to the Mexican situation
but IN the preamble it is stated that at
is practically impossible to restrain in
ternatjonal trade In munitions OF war
even though our Government may in
tend to do SO in the interests of peace"
Mr.. Kent asserts that war can be
largely prevented by Government con-
troll OF explosives" and his resolution
is aimed at an international trust" In
the manufacture of explosives.
The Kent resolution, with it's numer-
GUS ''whereases." reads as fellows:
Whereas, under the agreements OF
this trust, foreign manufacturers have
bound themselves to refrain from sell
ing powder IN the United States, even
TO the United States Government, that
the interests of the American Powder
trust may be protected against foreign
competition, and
Whereas, the prices charged by the
American trust against the Federal
Government for explosives used by the
army and navy are extof kionate and
unreasonable, and
Whereas, the manufacture by the
Government of explosives for the army
and navy Is rendered unduiy expensive
by the lack of continuity OF msnufac-
ture, ana
Whereas. powder manufactured in
large quantities and stored Is subject
10 serious deterioration, and
Whereas, economical and practical
manufacture require the continuing
operation of the mills and the continu-
ing employment of skilled force which
IN time of peace can only be accom-
pllshed by supplying explosives for
other than military purposes, and
Whereas, the inventions of American
officers are not retained as secret pro-
cesses foF the benefit of the American
Government but have been freely given
10 the Powder trust which Is at liberty
to sell 10 foreign governments that may
be at war with us the work OF our own
inventors and army officers and
Whereas, it Is practically impossible
TO restrain the International trade in
munitions Of wal, even though our Cow
ernment may attempt to do so In the
interests OF peace, ana
whereas. all war Is dependent upon
the use Of explosives and can largely
explosives.
Therefore, be il resolved, That the
President appoint commission consist
ing of two members of the Senate OF
the United States and two members of
the House of Representatives. two Of
fceIs of the army, two officers OF the
nav and representative Of the State
Department, who shall be instructed TO
investigate and report q plan for Great
ing Government monopoly for the
manufacture and control of explosives,
and that suggestion be made TO our
representatives at The Hague that II
would be well 10 consult with foreign
nations as to suitable action to be
taken by the nations of the world to-
ward controlling the manufacture, dis
trnunon, and use Of explosives and
other munitions Of war"-E -.
