There is no official confirmation, al
though the Russian statement to-day
indicated that General Kornilotf $

That appears TO be the plan.

By the commission il is extremely like
~ that the long expected purchasing
board will be created, and that II will
be headed by Bernard ". Bsruch.
In the meantime this question Of
prices is causing a great deal OF de-
lay.
General Goethals has contracts
ready for several hundred thousand
tons Of steel shipping. He has asked
for authority 20 execute them, and the
President has failed to give it to him.
Apparently the situation with regard
20 prices here is this: The steel in
terests have yielded in the matter OF
S95 steel, and are now reported 10 be
willing to let the government have steel
for $50. But that is only part Of the
problem OF the cost Of ships. A reduc-
ton in the cost Of steel Of $40 ton
will only make a difference of $40 q
ton or thereabouts in the cost Of ships.
And yet contractors are asking upward
of $3.50 a ton for steel ships, although
the normal pre-war costs were only $50
or $50 a ton.
A fight will have to be made with the
contractors, and various elements en-
tering into their costs, besides the cost
of steel plates, will have TO be lowered
before reasonably low priced ships can
be got. Meanwhile there is grave and
menacing delay in a programme which
has been full Of delay and mismanage-
ment.
