System Condemned.

Congress. therefore. has itself con-
demned the system which the Commits
sioners now attempt to revive with
the difference only that director of
charities appointed by the Commits
sioners is to take the place OF a super
intendent of charities appointed by the
President.
For the reasons hereinbefore given
and as involving the general subject,
your committee is of opinion that the
board should disapprove also of the
legislation proposed with respect to
other similar citizen bodies; such as
the taking away from the judges of the
courts of the power of appointment of
the Board of Childrens Guardians and
the taking away from the trustees of
the Industrial Home School of the
power to select it's employees"

most notable, justifying a proposal to
take from the citizens their privileges

tralize them in body politic which

As National Safeguard.

Senator Cummins told the Senate that
the adoption of his plan would remove
all chance of the United States being
pushed into war in the interests of
munition manufa cturers. He said that
it would save the country money in
the end, and would provide a sure
means of obtaining sufficient ammuni-
tion in the event of war. And thirdly,
ii would put an end IN the future to
all discussions as to whether the United
States was neutral or not in supplying
munitions to belligerents.
The attention of the Senate was di-
money which the people in the United
States engaged in the manufacture of
munitions have made since the war in
Europe began.
1T may be that circumstances may
arrive" said Senator Cummins, which
may be met only by war. | am hoping
that these conditions will not confront
US. but if there comes time in which
we must decide for war or against war,
the men and boys who must die in the
struggle which we may enter. the
sorrows which will fill the land have a
right to insist that the question touch
ing our honor, safety and institutions
shall be decided in forum uncorrupted
and undisturbed by love of money or
the opportunity that business may see
of reaping profit by slaughter Of the
human kind"

Increase of Munition Plants.

Senator Cummins pointed out that a fter
the commencement Of the war and prior
to October Is. 1915. there were organized
in the United States ia new CORPORA
tions for the purpose Of manufacturing
mYnitions of war. He showed that from
August /. 1914. to November l, 1915.
there were exported from this country to
Europe ammunition and firearms to the
value of Sl61.364,21S, and that exports
are increasing month by mouth He
showed that the stocks of CORPORATIONS
manufacturing arms and munitions have
increased in value by leaps and bounds,
He showed that the increase in market
value of the stocks of eighteen such
'corporati tions had been S43o,Oo6.5OO
Senator Cummins made il clear that
while he deplored war he realized that
a country may be called upon to fgbt
10 preserve free institutions and to pro-
tect the lives and liberties of its citi-
Zens- My resolution is meaningless
to those who believe we should stand
defenseless before the world" said
Senator Cummins. He said that he in
tended to express his ideas in the
future on the extent of military arma-
ment which the safety of this country
requires.
Points to Happy Medium.
In the meantime it is sufficient to
suggest that somewhere between the
/
armed camp of William of Germany
and the open dove cote of William of
Nebras ska there must be an honorable
abiding place for a great nation which
is prepared to lead the world toward
peace but will not submit to injustice
or indignity.
II war comes. said Senator Cummins.
it must be the result of calm purpose
to meet the awful scourge. He de-
clared it ought to be made impossible
for any man or corporation to make
money out of war.
Senator Cummins pointed out that
substantially every plant capable of
producing arms and ammunitions\ in
amy considerable quantity lies between
the Allegheny mountains and the At
lantic coast He said that the officers
of the army are practically unit now
in the conclusion that IL one of the
great powers of Europe were to make
war upon America the entire territory

speedily fall into the hands of the

Denies Sinister Intentions.

Senator Cummns said that he did
not intend to intimate that any great
portion of the men interested in the
manufacture of arms would consciously
or maliciously precipate a war. but in
the very nature of things they cannot
look upon war with a feeling that
animates the great body of the people
Necessarily. he said. these men must
desire to be successful in business. and
this business cannot be successful in
the highest degree unless the country
is at war or is preparing for war
I'm this critical moment" said Senator
Cummins, what is the attitude of the
makers Of munitions? Without exceptions,
so far as | know. they are insisting upon
the most comprehensive program which it
is possible to conceive, which would turn
this country into a military camp and
practically destroy all ambition. save the
ambition to overcome by force of arms
the entire world. This is a perfectly
natural course for them to pursue Their
business is to supply material for war
and it is not in mortal man TO escape
the temptation to gain in the enterprise
in which he is engaged"
