CONGRESS WANTS
TOKNOW. HOW WAR
BILLIONS ARE SPENT

The possibility Of embarrassing
questions as to where the billions are
going was worrying Administration
leaders when the House met today,
with the big war bond and certificate
bill scheduled for discussion.
This bill carries 81 .53s. 200, 900 in
bonds and certificates. and complaint
Is made by many members of both
parties that Congress is kept in the
dark as to how It will be expended.
Secretary McAdoo appeared before
the Ways and Means Committee. but
when efforts were made TO draw out
OF him the facts as to how the money
would be spent, he withdrew into a
dugout OF retlcence and refused to be
driven out, according to Republicans
OF the committee.
The situation has accumulated the
demand for 4 committee on war ex-
penditures. Congressman Moore Of
Pennsylvania will renew his demand
for this on the floor today or tomor-
row.
The Administration continues to
oppose such a committee, and any
motion by Mr.. Moore, or anyone else,
for a committee on expenditures will
be beaten, in all likelihood. How
ever. Mr.. Moore intends to keep on
renewing his effort to force some sort
OF Congressional supervision of war
expenditures.

INSURANCE BURDEN.
SAYSU. S. CHAMBER

Congress should close the gap in
the bill providing insurance for men
in the military service or the country
will be faced with the possibility. OF
carrying both insurance and pensions
according to the report OF a special
committee OF the United States Cham.
Der OF Commerce appointed to con.
slider the plan.
The committee believes that while
every man should be protected. II
would not make the insurance plan
compulsory. 1t is pointed out that
some men may have all the insurance
they need, but that there are many
men without dependents who would
not want to contribute for insurance.
Attention is called by the commit
tee that, although the bill takes
cognizance OF dependence other than
a wife, child, or widowed mother, the
clause covering compensation for
death or disability does not do so,
and, II is believed, IL now too limited
in its provisions. It Is suggested that
this Inconsistency be remedied by pro-
vision in the compensation clause for
parents, grandparents, brothers. and
sisters II shown to be wholly depend
emit on the soldier before the time OF
enlistment.
1t is recommended that in some re-
spects the rates OF compensation in
cases OF death or disability be made
more liberal, notably in the case OF
men who continue to suffer from a
malady contracted during war service.
