Tells of Delay in Contracts.

Additional testimony regarding delay
in machine-gun production was given
by Vice President B. NJ. w. Hanson of
the Colt Arms Company, at Hartford.
Conn.
Although the new Browning type was
adopted last May. he said, no contract
was made until July, although orders
were anticipated and preliminary work
begun The delay was explained by
Mr.. Hanson as due in part to delibera-
tions of the joint civilian Army board
appointed by Secretary Baker to test
and adopt the new weapons. Hanson
was a member of the board.
Although given the Browning gun con-
tract in July. Mr. Hanson said that, be-
cause of time needed to prepare new ma
chinery, his deliveries would not begin
until next April. His firm. however, is
making deliveries on previous orders of
Vickers machine guns, some contracted
for a year ago

INQUIRERs TOLD OF DELAY

Ordnance officers were criticized by
Fred H. Colvin, editor of the American
Machinist, for imposing too rigid rife
specifications in the hearing today before
the Senate committee on military affairs.
Requirements for interchangeability
of parts. Mr. Colvin said, delayed pro-
duction three months last summer, and
he cited one private factory where last
August workmen on a cost plus con-
tract played checkers while waiting
for work held up. Government arsenal
methods he also criticized. saying the
Springfield arsenal has some machinery
fifty years old, while many army ord
nance officers, he asserted. have no spe-
cial training to qualify them.
Correspondence with Secretary Baker
which he produced disclosed a contro-
versy between Mr. Colv.n and Gen.
Crozier chief of ordnance. because the
former told Secretary Baker that ar
senal officers were not qualified pro-
duction engineers. Gen. Crozier said
Mr.. Colvin should be barred from in
specting arsenals. because he insisted
expert machinists. and not Army Off
GERS, should be in charge.

At Bic LOAN

Toxic, March 1.-Because the Japan
csc bunkers have made the unusual de-
mand that they be given security.
japan may have to refuse the request
OF her ally, Russia, for a new loan Of
$1OO,OOO,OU Should Japan make this
loan, it would be the largest ever float
ed in this country.
Russia proposed the issue to the Jap
anese government, which acquainted
the bankers with Russia's .Overtures.
As Russia intended spending the mon
'ey for munitions and other. products
purchased III this country, the PROPOSE
ton met with the approval Of the gov
eminent.
Japan has the money to make the
loan and its success seemed assured
until the Toxic bankers made their
demand for security. In view Of her
position as Il first class power ana a
friend bound in alliance with Japan,
Russia believes such guarantee unnec-
essary and beneath her dignity. jap
anese iinanciers take the attitude. how
ever, that considering the large
amounts Russia has already borrowed
here and the magnitude, Of her latest
proposal, some form Of security should
be SOfferetE' n; r.. n
