offer Soon after war was declared,
we began receiving orders from the Of
fcials Of the ArmySand Navy, and up
to date have rreceiYed5137 different or
ders, of which 112 have been complet-
ed, while many partial shipments
have been made on most of the re-.
,25 remaining orders, except those re-
Gently received. Our South Bend
plants were almost Immediately
swamped with work by the Quarter
masters Department and the En-
cheering Department, for such things
as escort wagons, trucks, carts, sphinx
lers, sweepers, dump wagons, wheels
and harness. Later we received or
ders from the Ordinance Department
for artillery wheels, hubs, gun car
riages, tractor links, shell parts and
shells and from the Navy Department
for mine anchors.
We are building and equipping an
addition to our plant at South Bend
for forging and machining Of 155 mill
meter shells with a tremendous daily
production, which plant will employ
thousands of people.
In order to effectively handle Gov
eminent business, it has been necess
airy for US to reduce our production OF
passenger automobiles rs per cent and
our production of horse-drawn vehicles
for the commercial trade about so pc,
cent. During the past year the ma
chinery layouts and production SEIZED.
lues of all of our plants have been
changed and reorganized, So that the
departmental arrangements and at
mosphere of our plants are altogether
different fro mwhat they were in peace
times, and it may be said that they
are primarily operated on account o.
the Government.
It is probable, if the var is not sue
cessfully concluded in the meantimet
that during 1919 Studebaker plant:
will be still further devoted to Gov
eminent work, and the employed
thereof workers for the Government

Reduction in War
Revenue Bill to
Six Billion Sure
Abandonment of Excess
Profits Tax Meets Much
Opposition

WASHINGTON. :. Nov. 10 BY The AS
socia;ed ss).-Dowuwar revision
of the war revenue bill to about the
$4,000, 100000 total recommended by
Secretary McAdoo appears to be as
sured, members OF the Senate Finance
Committee said tonight. after Mr.. Nc
Adoo had personally explained To the
committee suggestions as to future
government financing, made in his let
ter 10 Chairman Simmons.
Some OF the Secretary's proposals,
however. especially those to abandon
excess por6ts taxation and increase
with strong opposition, Senators said.
Republican opposition to Mr. McAdoos
recommendation for immediate specific
limitation of taxes to $4,000, 900 600 in
1920 also developed, but Senator Sim
mons said a majority OF the committee
favors it.
Because OF prospective Republican
control OF both houses OF Congress
next March, Republican opposition to
limiting taxation two years hence was
not unexpected, and a strong fight in
both houses on this feature Of the
Revenue Bill is now considered prob
able. This would be the first serious
partisan difference in the measures
consideration.
In statement tonight regard

Underwood Asks
Senate to Form
Budget Committee

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-During
debate in the Senate to-day OH greater
economy BY the government, Senator
Underwood, Democrat, Of Alabama,
said only by delegating to one COM
mittee power to pass on all appropria-
tions could extravaganza be prevented.
This is in line with the movement
long before Congress for the creation
of a budget committee
Mr.. Underwood said the point had
been reached where the battle cry was
retrenchment, adding it is idle to say
we will increase taxation when we can
accomplish the same results through
economy"
The entire government, he said, went
blndly into the war, and in many
cases war appropriations had been
made blindly because the war drove
us into such things" He denied that
there had been any extravaganza.

After the Civil War there were
no boards of reconstruction, price
fixing committees, war trade boards,
war export boards, war labor
boards, war finance corporations,
capital issues committees or half a
hundred other war creations. Yet
after the first slump in commodity
prices, which was Of brief duration,
there was healthy reaction and
thereafter several years of marked
prosperity. Wages did not decline.
Yet the Civil War must have sub
tracted from the North far more OF
its industrial strength than is true
of the present time.
News that the Allied nations, IN
Guiding the United States, are nego-
tiating loan in Holland is not
surprising. Probably similar nego-
tiations are in progress in other neu-
tral countries, inasmuch az such
credits are needed to rectify the ad-
verso exchanges All the European
belligerents have borrowed in neu-
tral centres to the extent Of their
ability, and the United States finds
it just as desirable to do so as the
others. Unfortunately, the field is
limited for u.s. The last great neu-
trail financial centre was closed
when America entered the war. But
il is still necessary to obtain such
credits al may be available in neu-
trail countries, and it, happens that
the chance Of securing them has
tremendously improved recently.
Money is cautious, but is always
ready to back winner when the
