CANCELING Of WAR
ORDERS IN MIDDLE

Adjustment OF Cancelled war con.
tracts bids fair to be badly muddied.
The Attorney General probably will
have to pass upon Il decision OF Comp
trOller Warwick OF the Treasury, hold
ing invalid some contracts not placed
in the usual redtspe manner. And.
Congress. too, may have 10 act TO
legalize these contracts. and, perhaps
to legaHze the War Departments pro-
posed scheme OF cancellation.
The Treasury decision was that the
Government could not hind itself to
pay any profit to a contractor for
terminating his contract The War
Department had proposed to make an
agreement, allowing a certain amount
Of cash and a margin OF profit to the
contract or for an early termination.
In turn tho contractor would release
the Government, getting 4 final pay
ment after contract specialists had
ViSed tho situation.
The Treasury decision appears to up
set tho whole contract machinery for
the moment. IL holds, for instance.
that contracts by wire, telephone. or
letter are not strictly binding. Ami.
many were so placed In the haste 10
