ent, while leaving not the slightest
ground to doubt his intense loyalty to
America and his willingness to make
sacrifices to prevent america as!eet,

NIT error in his earlier statements He
recalls that in his love of peace prior
to Americas declaration of war he was
merely "one of the majority" and that
his pro- German opinions were ex-
pressed while we were neutral ma

Iowans that President Wilson also was
mistaken, and that the country voted
the president back into office on a

Nothing that Mr.. Adams says in his
statement offends his friends. but they
are sorry about the things he did not
say They wish, apparently. he had
included a frang admission OF error
in preferring the cause Of Germany to
the cause Of the British empire and
of France They wish he had said not
merely that he Is for the wal because
it is Americas war now. but that he
is for it because it is righteous.

Aiding the Enemy With Planes

Of the production program, informed
the society that no light, high-speed
fighting machines have been or are to
be manufactured in this country At
any time. Finally, when on FEB. 20,

cent of the facilities At for produo-
ing aircraft" 1t has coupled Its
''boastful policy" with excessive Sc
crecy." and excessive secrecy was
needed to MAKE possible it's over-ad-
vertising." Ability to produce goods
urgently needed was ''by no means a
sufficient consideration for securing a
contract" The original program was
drawn up by men who knew next to
nothing about either the art of flying
or the production of flying machines"
Practically all the contracts were
made on cost plus percentage basis,
with no penalty for late production,
no bonus for early production. All
smaller plants were cut cut under the
so-called plan of standardized pro-
duction. And so on. And so on.
Secretary Baker, has gone before
congress for blanket power to call out
millions more of men and with an
army appropriation bill carrying $13,-
900 900, 900 for expenses into the
middle of 1919. The added men and
the prodigious new equipment Will
need airplane protection. Antecedent-
ly, they will need complete exposure
of the causes underlying the failure
of aircraft production to date, fixing
personal responsibility therefor and
clearing the ground for a complete re-
organization of present producing
forces. Those persons who have de-
ceived the secretary of war and the
nation must be brought to book. -

essity in the homes.
1t would seem reasonable and ad-
visable to modify the zone rule by per-
hitting Illinois coal to be shipped into
Iowa in larger quantities for home
storage. The main reason for the
present avoidance Of many OF
our state Goals is that the public is
convinced that they will slack and de-
teriorate and the possibility Of heating
in the bin. 1t is also true that many
families are unable to buy and pay
cash for s75 to 800 worth OF coal at
one time. That has its effect upon the
present situation though it is a con-
dition which would exist whether out
side coal came into the state or not.
1t has it's bearing, however from the
fact that those who can buy should
buy now in order to protect the very
class that can not. And those able to
buy are not so much lodging the duty
as lISS al = ltcllIS 10 l'lLS Wal ilie'b
may deteriorate or that may cause
trouble in the binds. Later they will
store home coal but in the meantime
the mines and the miners are idle.
Later we shall buy coal that has been
piled up in the open air and has suf-
fered deterioration greater than any
that could take place in b!ns-and be
glad TO get it.
The Iowa situation however, could
be greatly relieved by forcing Illinois
factories to burn coal now that de-
teriorates in storage and permit the
Illinois Goals that stand storage well
TO come into Iowa freely. The coal
situation and a prospective famine is
not a state or local matter, but ma
tional emergency. No state is going to
freeze to death if by any possibility Of
emergency transportation it may he
supplied when the pinch comes. Essen
italy it is a question of getting coal
into the home bins at present and i'm
mediately. That is the main thing, not
state lines.

Disclosures which Senator Knox be-

show that the net result of Americas

Senator Wadsworth, ono Of the six

that these six members did not quar-
