SAYS ROCKEFELLER
 !. IN ENTIRE CONTROL !. 0F B|G FOUNDATION
Chairman Federal Industrial Relations Commissions Says Trustees Are
 POwerless

!. Kansas City. February 15.-Frank F. Walsh, chairman of the federal indus trial relations commission, which has been Investigating great philanthropic foundations. in a statement today de olared that John D. Rockefeller, ST. dominates the Rockefeller Foundation which, MT. Walsh said. can apply the enormous power of the money it con trols to almost any purpose 1t chooses.
 The testimony at the New York hearing. declared MT. Walsh. showed that the trustees of the foundation ex- ercsed no authority that did not come from him. It showed that the directors of the foundation also were directors of the industries from which the loun- dation obtained it's funds. As an in- terlock ing system it beats anything the railroads and banks ever exhibited.
 The powers it, claims and exercises virtually are unlimited. as are It's financial resources. They are powers which should challenge the atfention of every thoughtful American citizen. Whether such powers can be permitted safely in the hands of any authority less than that of the government is a question which will form an import ant part of the commissions forthcom- ing report l am inclined to believe these powers cannot be exercised un- der the American theory of govern ment.
 The commission is not through yet with the Rockefeller and other foun- dations, but this much can be said
 The Rockefeller Foundation Is en- tirely without the realm of govern ment control
 "I am not surprised that the direct OTIS and trustees of the Rockefeller Founda ton do not know some of the things brought out at the hearing. They do not know anything about ths fouu dalton. They do not see MT. RocEe- feller twice a year.
 Mir Rockefeller is a very smart man. perhaps the smartest in this country. But he could not tell the commission why he did not use his profits 10 pay q living wage instead of using them in the distribution of a charity that jeans have come to look upon as a men- ace.

REPORTOF CURRENCY ASSOCIATION WILL BECOME HISTORIC How the Great Money Crisis Brought on by War
 Was Handled UTILIZATION OF
 EMERGENCY ACT The Measure, Though Dormant Five Years, Showed Wisdom of the
 Men Who Framed Aldrich-
 Vreeland Law
By HOLLAND

New York, February 15.-(Special) )-The historic value contained in the report just made public, of the executive com mittee of the National Currency associa- tion of New York is due to the fact that this report vividly reveals the magnitude end the spontaneous cordiality of the great cooperating movement which De- gan in August of last year and was con- t1nued unti lthe gates were opened so that normal financial and money market conditions could return to the people Of the United States. Another feature Of this report is the striking proof which it fur nishes of the wisdom that inspired the legislation which put the so-called Aid rich-vreeland emergency currency act upon the statute books. In the future it will be regarded undoubtedly as not the least remarkable of the many inn portant incidents associated with our re- covery from the staggering blow which the Europeon war of a sudden delivered that almost in the last days of the life of this statute it was for the first time employed for the purpose of bringing the relief which those who drafted the recommendation and the Congress which had the recommendation in mind believed to justify the placing of this emergency currency act upon the statute books.
 Not once since the so-called emergency law went into effect was there any direct appeal to it until August of last year. For five years it had been almost dead let ter statute It's immediate effect when passed was to give confidence to business men of the United States. Not again would they be caught between wind and water, as they had been caught in the currency panic of 1907. Another direct result of the act was the return of enormous amounts and upon rapid currents to the banks of currency which had been drawn out and hoarded when the panic began.
 There were two pieces of fnanical ma chnery which were started late in Au- gust of last year with intent to relieve a very desperate situation or to begin the relief of that situation. These two were the utilization of the emergency currency statute, supplemented by the utilization of the clearing house associa- tion's resources By means of this ma chnery it was possible to convert much of the wealth of the country into nego- tiable instruments aVanaple TOT pusliess and the banks of the United States. The clearing house associations resorted to their inherent power, promising to issue clearing house certificates for which the security was to be resources Of the banks these certificates being good for the pay ment of balances at the clearing house. In New York city, the aggregate cer- tificates of this kind at the height of the emergency was about $l25,OOO,OoO
