April Until June and
BIames Red Tape.
COUNTRY is DISSATISFIED,
Chamberlain Tells Official He
Doesn't Like Explanations
Need Of Pistols
Reiterated.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 18.--Inquiry
into alleged delays in supplying the
army with guns ana the curtailments
Of funds recommended by the ordnance
bureau Tor that purpose was taken up
again today In open session by the
Senate military committee after twS
days examination of Major General
Crozier behind closed doors. General
Crozier. who was still on the stand
today, continued his detailed state.
ment Of the ordnance situation as far
as It revealed nothing the war depart.
ment considers military secret. y
At Saturdays hearing General Cro@l
zier told the committee that while con.
gress had been generous with funds
the appropriations recommended by th1
general staff invariably were reduced
BY civilian executives and the reduce
ton Of ordnance was chargeabse to ex.
ecutive action.
Too Much Red Tape
General Crozier declared there wal
entirely too much red tape" getting
money. While an emergency approl
priation request for a. lump appropria-
ton of $2,932, 537 900 made by the wal
department April 5--a day before war
was declared-it was June before con-
gress made appropriations under this
estimates.
But you had millions OF dollars left
OF appropriations made before" inteS
rupted Chairman Chamberlain. 3
have not been entirely satisfied with
explanation made OF this matter. Fol
instance, you had money appropriated
for machine guns and you haven't thu
guns yet. We appropriated for small
arms. and you spent the money fol-
pistols instead Of rifles
Declares Country Not Satisfied.
We were far shorter OF pistols than
rifles" General Crozier answered, land
we are not going to be slowed up IL
this war In the slightest degree on ac,!
count Of rifles"
satisfied with that explanation" Sen.
ator Chamberlain insisted. We need
rifles for target practice and training
purposes and in the field"
How prospective appropriations by
congress were anticipated was recited
said orders were placed for 5000, 00G
rounds of ammunition early last spring
before any funds We're available. He
detailed how many new factories that
had never before made gun forgings
were given large contracts to increase
ordnance production.
Tells Of Sum Spent.
1--WE have placed orders of more than
$1,500,O00000 since the war began.
General Crozier explained, citing thu
magnitude of operations. That is
more than so per cent over the entire
governments expense for any yea,
since the Spanish war;
Senator Wadsworth asked whether
the government should have an officer
or department similar to England's,
minister of munitions.
My own belief is that the better way
is to enlarge and strengthen existing
organizations rather than create new
ones" General Crozier replied.
"Quicker results have been obta.nc
here than by the British organization"
Has any effort been made to short
en- up the processes ?"
Yes. great deal of red tape has
been eliminated" said General Crozier.
