DR.. Pratt "the Goat"
Is View in Washington

Washington, July lS.-The forced
resignation of Dr. Edward Ewing Pratt
as chief of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce and as secretary
of the advisory board of the Exports
Council, has served TO reveal the frlc-
tion within the Exports Council. Dr.
Pratt, it is understood, has been made
"the goat"
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld, il
is understood. issued the statement
made public by the Department OF
Commerce on July o, cautioning ex'
porters in making contracts for export
10 state in the contracts that ship
ment is to be contingent on their OBJ
tanning shipping space, etc. IL is un-
derstood the President called Secre-
tary Redfeld TO the White House TO
explain the publication of the state
ment at that time, and he shifted the
responsibility for its publication to Dr.
Pratt.
Again, two days ago, the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce made
public a list of additional articles that
would be included in the Presidents
embargo list. This statement is also
understood to have had the Secretary's
approval, out when it resulted in
White House displeasure DR.. Pratt
again was blamed.
DR.. Pratt was succeeded to-day by
Burwell S. Cutler. first assistant chief

pcin,ment is made. Mr.. Cutler is a

Wooden Ships Would
Return Cost, Says Denmar,

In reply to suggestion that the ma
tions allied with the United States in
the war should assume a share in pay
ing for wooden ships that will be
virtually useless in trade service after
the coming of peace. william Denman,
chairman of the United States Ship
ping Board, expressed the opinion that
the freight earnings of the wooden
ships during the war would more than
pay for their construction, according
to correspondence made public here
yesterday.
The suggestion was made in tele-
gram sent 70 Mr.. Denman by p. II. w.
Ross, president Of the National Marine
League, an organization seeking to ex-
tend American commerce. "If the Unit
ed States builds wooden ships that will
be useless to this country, solely TO aid
its allies" Mr.. Ross said, sit is fair
proposition that our allies should re-
lieve us of their pro rata of the wooden
wastage after the war"
"The theory on which your telegram
is based" said Mr.. Denman in reply,
ignores the fact that the ship is paid
for by it's freight earnings. In so far
as the wooden or other ships serve the
Allies, they will be paid for by the
Allies"
New-York tribune., 1917-07-19
Weeks Again Proposes
Congress War Board

Washington. July 1s.-Senator John
W. Weeks to-day introduced as an
amendment to the food control bill his
proposal for joint Congressional COM
mittee on the conduct Of the war to CO.
operate with the executive depart
ments, and secured unanimous consent
for vote on this amendment next
Saturday.
The Weeks proposal was presented
some weeks ago. but was pigeen-hole
in committee. Recently. with consid-
erable friction developing in some of
the executive departments. there has
been a pronounced favorable trend tow
ard the joint Congressional committee
idea. II is predicted that il the Weeks
amendment Is not incorporated in the
food bill. at least it will receive much
stronger support than would have BEEN
the case some time Aeo
New-York tribune., 1917-07-19

by the Quartermaster's Corps. The
committee on supplies, Of which, un-
derstand Mr.. McElwain was member,
had sent special requests to seventy
four manufacturers, extending from
Maine to California, asking them to
bid. Bids were submitted by forty
seven concerns. Awards were made TO
forty-seven manufacturers by the Quar-
termaster's Corps, awards being made
in every case to the lowest bidders
On this opening awards were made to
the W. II. McElwain Company Of 4O0,-
900 pairs of field shoes at s4.795. The
awards on field shoes ranged from $4.67
to s4s5."
Senator Pomerene said 100000 pairs
were awarded at prices lower than Nc
Elwain and $4,000 at prices higher
than McElwain.
"The prices ranged from s4.67 TO
s4,S5 a pair" he said. They had asked
for bids for 100000 pairs of shoes.
No bidder presented any bid for the
whole amount. The bids, as I am in
formed, expressly stated the number of
pairs Of shoes which the bidder was
willing to furnish to the government at
the price therein contained, so that it
took all the bids Of those bidders to
supply the requirements of the govern.
ment of 100000 pairs Of shoes. Some
bids were lower than others, but the
government took all Of the lowest bids
which it was necessary to take in or
der to get the proper requirements Of
the government and, Of course, not
knowing the fact at once, the criticism
can be made that there was some
favoritism.'

mcnt provides:
