Billy Bryan has some peculiar ideas,
and as might be expected in the con-
glomerate mixture that makes up
American citizenship, he has his fol-
lowers. Mr.. Bryan, who seems to take
JOY in embarrassing the administra-
ton, would submit the question as to
whether this country should engage in
war to referendum vote Now to put
a question of this nature to a vote the
people of the United States would re-
quire time, much time, and during that
passive interval a foreign foe could
harry the coast, land troops, and blow
I'll eternal daylights out OF our largest
cities. Yet, according to Mr.. Bryan's
pacificatory attitude, the United States
would have no power, or authority, to
defend itself until the verdict of the
people was reached And as to the
matter of voting Mr. Bryan is
is somewhat haZy as to how the ques-
ton is to be submitted to the people.
Would the ballots be headed for or
against peace at any price," or just
how would the question be put up to
the voter? or just how would the ques-
the voter? lnasmuch as this is
not militant people, they are
not out for conquest they are not
seeking advancement at the expense of
neighboring nations, no president or
congress would favor war only as a
last resort to uphold the honor of the
country, to defend the land from in
vasion, and to protect the lives and
property of citizens jeopardized by
foreign powers (although the latter
condition does not seem to be consid-
cred a sufficient provocation nowadays
even to arouse protest.. The making
of war can be very safely left where
the power now rests, and it is not liza
BILE that that power will be abused.

being given as $1,000. Only a few

ON
WAR CONTRACTS
Straight Purchase and Sale
Agreements are Declared
to be Advisable.

As the result OF conferences ex-
tending over two months, the inter
departmental cost conference today
made public its recommendations
that where fair prices can be obtain
ed. war contracts should be in the
form of straight purchase-and-s sale
contracts at fixed prices, that the
cost-plus contract may be necessary
where the production involves diff
cult and complicated manufacturing
effort or conditions which cannot be
clearly foreseen, and that in cost
plus contracts a fixed profit of a
definite sum of money per article be
agreed upon as far as possible, in
stead of the percentage of cost.
The conference was organized by
Sec'y Redfeld and BurweH 5. Cutler,
acting chief of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, of the de-
partment Of commerce, and repre-
sentatives of the most interested gov
eminent bodies took part in the
meetings.
ON the conference. as now cOnsti-
tuted, the war department has Il
mem bers. the navy department seven.
the federal trade commission three,
the accountancy committee of the
war industries board, council of ma
tional defense, three, and the food
administration one. J. Lee Nichol-
son, chief of the division Of cost ac-
counting of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, is chairman Of
the conference, and II. p. Seideman,
of the institute of government re-
search. is secretary. Representative
business men of the country have ap-
peared before the conference
Suggests Basic Points.
A pamphlet issued today contains
detailed recommendation for con-
tracing officials which is intended to
suggest some OF the broad economic
and equitable points involved in war
contracts. and TO express the prefer
ence OF the conference for a straight
purchase-and- sale contract at a fixed
price. since II Is simpler in terms.
easier 10 work under. and generally
speaking productive of quicker and
better results.
There is also a comprehensive
manual on cost definitions. including
recommendation for collating cost
data i'm connection with war business
as well as private business The
pamphlet will be sold by the super
intendent Of documents, Washington,
d. c.
Very interesting 10 note Is the fact
that for the first time in the history
OF this government. or i'm the history
OF any other. so far as is known, rep

was summoned for the purpose OF

forms and cost definitions as they
might see mt 10 make. Many of
these recommendation have been
embodied i'm this work published by
