SEE TOO MUCH RED TAPE
IN BUYING FOR US. ARMY
Civilian Advisers to Quartermaster'
Department Call on Secretary
Baker After Two-Day Session.

With visit to the Secretary of War
this morning, chairmen of fourteen spe-
cial committees appointed by the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
to cooperate with the army district
depot quartermasters in the purchasing
of supplies and in outlining a campaign
against excess profits, finally ended a
two-day session here. These chairmen
have been working under authority of
the council of national defense, of
which Mr.. Baker is the head, their
business having been practically con-
cluded last night.
The chairmen told the Secretary that
the only fault they had to suggest in
the management of the army purchas-
ing department was that il was too
much bound up with red tape and rou-
tine and TOO lacking in the human eie-
ment. which, they said. was the basis
of modern business methods.
Two points Of special Importance have
been developed at these conferences, ac-
cording to Secretary Goodwin of the
national chamber: First that the work
of the committees shall be purely advis-
DRY, concerning itself largely with fur
nishing the quartermaster's department
with special detailed knowledge of
which the civilians are possessed. and,
second, that the committees shall have
no control over the awarding of con-
tracts for supplies.
