drawn, that our government may perfect the pro-
posed international purchasing commission
Many of the experts employed by the Morgan
firm are to be transferred to the government pnr-
chasing establishment, and the valuable inforina-
ton accumulated by them during the two and-a-
half years the Morgans have served France and
England, is to be placed at the disposal Of the

All the orders placed in the United States by
the Allies are to be handled by this commission.
II is estimated that the purchases will amount to

the sum which is to be advanced by us to our al
lies, the remaining $l00O00000 to be spent from
