INVESTIGATION OF
WAR PROF|TEERS
Waste Of Public Funds in England
Is Now Being Cured

London, April II Correspondence
Of The Associated Press 1.-The Brit
lsh Ministry of Munitions has been
charged by a committee of the House
Of Commons With wasting public
funds through failure to adopt ele-
mentary precautions in awarding con-
tracts for war supplies. The ex-
penditures of the munitions depart
ment were investigated by a commit
tee on national expenditures.
In it's report the committee charged
that the department had no adequate
system of estimating costs or of con-
trolling prices Of munitions, that it
did not properly limit profits to the
contractors nor regulate the use of
labor and material.
According to the committee, the
Ministry of munitions has expended
about 100,0O0,00O in the erection
and equipment of national factories
in grants to private firms and in sup
plying buildings and equipment to
Them
INVESTIGATIONS by accountants have
corrected some Of the Wasteful meth
DDS alleged. In this way E3, 600, 900
were saved by a reduction in the
price of cordite. Reductions in the
contract prices of ammunitions, fol-
lowing technical Investigations Of
costs, resulted in the saving of 1885,
100000 in two years. In one con-
tract for gun equipment, it is assert
ed, accountants employed by the mu-
nitions departm reduced the con-
tractors profit by f2,O0O,000.
Great sums Of money, the commit
tee reported, have been spent in ex-
tending the munition factories while
others which could produce the Same
commodity have been left idle for
is continual waste of labor, material
and money in the construction of fac
tories which compete with each 9TH
er," said the committee, "while their
production could have been obtained
at infinitely lower cost by concentra-
ton Of labor and machines in certain
places and using them to their full
capacity"
1t is stated that prices in this fourth
year of war are still really determined
out to get as much profit as they can.
They favor "collective bargaining" in
which prices are determined for the
whole trade by the cost of profita BILE
production in the factory which pro-
duces most eXpensively.
4 profit of $40 per cent. was earned
by one muntiOn firm.

SPECTRE OF famine
REALITY IN PERSIA
Misery From Hunger Reported
Almost Irremediable

Petrograd, April % Correspondence
of The Associated Press) People are
dying of hunger in the streets Of the
large towns of Persia, notably in Ham,
adam and Senne, says a dispatch from
Marvin to the Rostovskaya Rech.
The spectre Of famine has become
fearful reality" the correspondent
wrote. ITO pass through two or three
streets in Hamadan or Senne is
enough to come upon two Or three
dead bodies. Here and there may be
groups of women mourning over their
dead. Here is q beggar woman-a
mother with two children; one of
them, a baby in arms, is dead, and
near the mother, on the ground, is
another child dying. The mother her
self Is already motionless, with a
frozen, unintelligent stare. The Per-
slams, seeing that human being Is
really dying, shove some bread into
the dying woman's mouth, but the be-
lated help, of course, does not save
her life. The poor villagers throng
from the villages to the towns hoping
in vain to be fed there.

MEET With CABINET
ALI War Information Is Passed
Along This Way

London, April 10 Correspondence
Of The Associated Press) .-Repre-
sentativeS of the British fighting
forces on land and sea attend every
meeting of the British War Cabinet,
communicate to the members of the
cabinet the latest information con-
corning the war and consult with them
on important questions.
At these conferences the army Is
represented by Major General Sir
Henry Hughes Wilson, chief of the
Imperial staff, and the navy by Vice
Admiral Sir Rosslyn Weymes, first sea
lord of the Admiralty.
How the British War Cabinet oper-
ates in deciding upon war policies and
directing Britain's share in the war
Is told in the annual report of the
cabinet now published for the first
time in history.
AT each meeting,'' says this official
statement of the workings of the in
ner circles of the British government.
the cabinet begins by hearing REPORTS
as to the progress of the war since
the preceding day. Unless it wishes
to conf1ne its deliberations to general
questions of policy, it then proceeds
to deal with questions awaiting its
decision. AS these questions in the
vast majority of cases affect one or
more of the administrative depart
ments, almost all it's meetings are at
tended by the ministers and their
chief departmental officials concerned
Inc majority of the sessions of the
War Cabinet consist, therefore. of =
series OF meetings between members
or the War Cabinet and those respon-
slple Tor executive action at which
questions of policy concerning those
departments are discussed and settled

ministration co-ordinated so as to
form part of a consistent war plan.
ministers who are not members of
the War Cabinet are permitted to
bring with them to the cabinet meet
ings experts from their own depart
ments from elsewhere and often
do so when expert opinion is needed
to decide an important question.

British Cabinet were infrequent, but

FEDERAL FARM loan
IS WORKING WELL
$4,000 Borrowers Take Sums to
Amount Of S16O,OOO,000

Washington, April 26.-The federal
farm loan system has been in active
operation just a year, and has dem
cnstrated that it Is a success, ac-
cording to a business summary is
sued by the Farm Loan board. About
$500 national farm loan associations
have been incorporated, representing
about four associations to each five
counties in the country. The asso-
Citations have an average of 20 mem
hers, representing a total member
ship of about $4,000 farmer borrow
ers.
The twelve federal land banks
have received applications for over
10000 loans, amounting to about
$500, 0,OO0,' says the boards state
ment MANY Of these applications
have been rejected, reduced or with
drawn. About 10000 loans have
been approved, amounting to over
100000, and on over 10000 Of
these loans money has been paid to
the farmers to the amount of about
$4,000, 900. Some loans approved
were for reduced amounts which the
borrowers declined to accept.
notwithstanding the unusual eX-
penses incident to the operation Of
new machinery and to the appraise-
InC1t and determinat ton of title on
many loans that have not yet been
closed, the expense of the banks in
doing business has been within such
limits to justify the expectation
of the Farm Loan board that these
hanks will easily be able to operate
on a difference of one-half Of one per
cent between the loaning rate and
the rate which they pay on their
bonds.
None Of the banks, of course, re-
ceived any appreciable income from
IT, cir business during the first half Of
the year, but during the last half the
business of the Spokane Federal
Land bank, for example, was suf-
fcientiy profitable to come with
about $4,000 of wiping out the eN-
cess Of expenses incurred in the first
half. and the volume of business on
its books assures it a handsome sur
plus for the second year.
every borrower, when he takes
out his loan, makes a subscription
which increases the stock of the Fed
eral Land bank to the extent of five
per cent of the amount borrowed.
These stock subscriptions of borrow
ers in the case of several of the
cordance with the provisions of the
act, the retirement of the original
stock of the banks, which was prln-
cipally subscribed by the governm cnt,
will begin within a few months
