ness with the United States and for
eign powder buyers. But, according
to the testimony of the chief of the
ordinance bureau Of the navy depart
ment, it is not the policy Of the de-
partment to encourage private manu-
factuTers.
And thus while the Department of
Justice has busted itself busting the
powder trust, the fact remains that
the e. I. Du Pont de Nemours Pow
der Company, which was the trust
before the busting" took place, still
sells powder to the U. S, government
practically without competition, and
at the same time the same company
sells the same powder, made from
the secret formulas of the United
States government, to any foreign
government which cares to place an
order with the company.
The officials of the company deny
that they thus reveal any military
secrets to possible enemies. They
state that they simply sell the pow
der-not the secrets. The U. S. army
regulations specifically forbid the
publication of pictures or descriptions
of tests of munitions of war made by
the government. On this ground the
war department has even refused a
congressional investigating commit
tee the privilege of examining GER
tain parts of the specifications used
for the manufacture of smOkeless
powder.
And yet the DUPONT Company sells
powder made from these same speci-
fications to foreign governments.
Moreover, it is charged that in its
contract with Germany the powder
company obIigates itself to report to
Germany the amount of powder it
sells to the United States every year.
So that, in the war office in Berlin,
they know just how much power

ding! dong there goes the profit bell
in Du Points again!
It is most interesting to note also
that Senator Du POnt, head of the
gunpOwder family, is senior Repubh-
can member of the committee on mil
itary affairs and senior. Republican
member of the committee on coast
defenses. Previous to Democratic
control of the senate Du Pont was
chairman of the military affairs COM
mittee, a member of the coast de-
tense committee and member of the
committee on expenditures in the war
department.
What possible interest could the
big powder company have in those
committees?
Y on answer!
Senator Du Pont says he's no
longer DIRECTLY interested in the
family's business. The family backs
him up enthusiastically in that state
ment. They say he is periodically
giving all his time to the nation.
But patriotism rarely appeals to
cold business. Indeed, the powder
business as represented by the Du
Pont company is under the dreary
necessity of knowing nothing about
patriotism and nothing about "Old
Glory" and nothing about the '1and
of the free" or national boundaries of
any kind.
But there's another situation
more astounding than the foregoing.
The official record shows that the
DU Pont Powder Company (IateIy
the powder trust, but now "dissoIV-
ed'') has sold to foreign nations
smokeIess powder made from secret
formulas supplied them by the war
and navy departments.
