Government Uses Power

fRv Associated Press.l

Washington, April 5.-The govern

drastic powers to strike death blow
at exorbitant war profits.
Under authority of the naval ap-
preparation bill, manufacturer was
directed to furnish a large order of
war supplies at price fixed by the
government. far lower than the figure

not obeyed the plant will be taken
over and operated by the government.
officials would not disclose the
name of the manufacturer nor the
agency through which the order was
given. President Wilson and his adj
visers are firmly resolved that only
fair and reasonable charges will be
paid by the nation for the things
that are necessary to make ready for
war.
European governments are paying
an average Of ten per cent profit on
war materials purchased in the
United States.
II was asserted authoritatively that

the government Of the United States
intended to buy its own supplies at
less than that rate of profit to the
seller.
1t is understood that the concern
against which the statutes have been
invoked refused to meet the govern
ment's requirements as to price when
the orders were rendered originally
and in the regular way. So far as
known, this is the only case of the
kind yet produced by the present
emergency.
Standing out sharply against this
background came an announcement
by Bernard Baruch, commissioner for
minerals of the national defense
council, of the voluntary offer of the
brass-making industry to fill the gov
ernment's orders at cost of produc-
tion. This followed the recent agree
ment secured by Mr.. Baruch with the
copper producers and similar ar
rangements now in process of compile
ton with the steel and fuel oil pro-
