FOR PEACE TABLE ACTION

TOXIC, December 1 Correspondence
OF the Associated Press).-Behe1 that
the next war will be the outcome OF race
prejudices is expressed by Yuklo Ozakl'
formerly minister of justice and lead
ink member of the constitutional party.
Mr. Ozaki said that in his opinion the
co!ored races, which steadily were de-
veloping their civilization, would de-
mand finally the same treatment as
the white races, and that the result
would be an armed collision.
NIr. Ozaki recommended that at Inc I'M
peace conference Japan, acting on pc
half of all the Asiatic races, should
introduce the racial and population
questions for consideration, and, II
possible, secure a solution.
Question Is Paramount.
In a country like japan, where the
population is increasing with alarm
ing rapidity, he said, it was but nat
ural that the surplus population
should try to obtain an outlet even
by resorting to arms

Mr.. Gzaki warned the japanese not

OF eanization, which in the present
war had proved to be a mere machine
for destroying civilization and for
trampling under foot the rights OF
other nations and peoples.
On the question of Japans occupa-
ton of the German South Sea Islands,
MIR. Ozaki declared that the United
States should dismantle her forts IN
the Philippines and Hawaii, and tnat
this would be more important Ior
Japan than the taking over OF the
South Sea Islands.

tude.
Deliveries Not Checked.

The most significant single fact in
dicating the point of view at Hog Is
land was that bills for material:
largely lumber, were prepaid (andi
properly prepaid) to the extent OF
over S10,000,0o0. but no effort was
made by the agent until our investi-
cation to prove whether prepaid bills
were in fact followed by actual re-
ceipt of the material paid for.
Another fact of strong significance
is while the contract provided in ex-
press terms that the agent should
keep detailed plant cost account and
contained very careful provision de-
fning cost. yet the agent at an early
date took the position that since the
government paid for everything that
went into Hog Island it was unneces-
sary to comply with this provision.
Hence. at no stage of the work since
last December could it be determined
what any unit of plant construction
cost
ut was certainly possible to super
wise the undertaking from the stand
point of cost without detriment to
speed. In February Admiral Bowles
was sent to Hog Island to exercise the

the matter of direction and super
vision. He was able to increase the eff
ficiency of the work and vet eliminate
unnecessary salaries in three depart
ments. and rental charged for unnec-
essary equipment, thereby effecting a
saving of several thousand dollars a
day. A similar reorganization in 9TH
er departments is under way"
Big Salary Increases.
In foot note the report gives an
accountants report that thirty-seven
men who were on the pay rolls of
Stone & Webster July l. 1917. at
average salaries of S3.973 each were
transferred to the Hog Island pay
roll in September and October Of that
year at an average of $3.50 each.
A report of the naval technical ad-
visers included in the report says SO
far as the data before them shows
the general scope of the Hog Island
plant has not been changed very ma
terially since the November esti-
mate of cost, and that the difference
between $27,00O,000 and $4,000, 900
cannot be accounted for by expansion
subsequent to November 81. It says
that the November estimate is re-
garded as insufficient, but after al

lowing for unfavorable weather, in
creased cost of labor and the neceS-

than the experts are able to account
for. The total cost of about $1.1eo,0 goo
per ship at Hog Island is compared
with $4,000 for the similar yard at
Bristol and $390,000 at Newark bay.
The Investigators refer to the con-
tractors claim that the fleet corpo-
ration cannot claim the contract was
not complied with because all sub
stantial acts were approved by the
corporation and because orders for
additional ships were given after the
charges of mismanagement and eX-
travagance had been made. This, the
report says, is regarded as serious,
but not conclusive.
