Geaefal DisapproYes Government
Manufacture Of War Maaitoas

Washington, d. C.-Estimates were
given tho senate military committee
Thursday by Brigadier General Croz-
Ter, chief Of ordnance, showing that
plant costing $400. 000. 900. operated
by forcs Of 760. 900 workmen, would
be required to manufacture ammuni-
tion and war materials necessary TO
keep an army Of O million men in the
field and equip an additional million
recruits.
General Crozier strongly disap-
proved any proposal for government
monopoly Of war supplies, insisting
that best results could be accomplished
BY relying on private establishments
TO supplement the output Of govern
merit plants In time OF war.
The committee received from Secre-
tary Garrison draft Of q tentative
measure suggested by Senator Cham
berIain, chairman Of the committee,
which would provide for the authorize
tion for the proposed continental army
in general terms only, leaving the de-
tails Of the proposed system to be
worked out by War department regu-
lations. The original draft Of q bill
submitted by the War department con-
tanned an outline Of the entire system.
Mr.. Garrison pointed out to the CON
gressional committee, when he appear
ed before 1t, however, that as the plan
largely was an experimental one, 1t
would be wise to give the President |
wide discretionary powers to meet |
problems which could be solved in the
light Of experience yet to be gained.
