tion requesting Secretary Baker to haze

and the United States Metals Selling
company. were "in the opinion of the
committee, insufficient and unjust TO
the government" the report said.
In some Of the cases cited" the re-
port added. they seem TO have been
obviously tainted with fraud. Part of
the blame for this condition is due 10
the rules adopted for the settlement %
such claims and part due to the laxncss
and ineffciency Of the government rep
rcscntatives. In the case Of the United
Metals Selling company immense prof
its were made by the producers of cop
per, by virtue Of combination OF the
low price producers. which combination
was aided and encouraged by the gov
ernmcnt, although in violation Of The
law Of the land.
Millions Involved.
"In some Of the cases cited the COM
mittee is OF the opinion that construc-
tive, If not actual fraud occurred
vitiating the settlement. The commit
tee Is OF the opinion that millions of
dollars are involved in these settle
ments which the government might
have a right to recover. If q proper re-
view Of such settlements were made.
Referring to the law authorizing the
war department to adjust contract
claims. the report declared that congress
intended that settlements should be re-
viewed. but added that doubt remains

The report did not accuse any person

HONESTY IN WAR CHARITY.

To tho Editor OF The Evening Journal
Sir; The honesty with which lead
ing American War Charities nave been
conducted il, think, strlklngly and
interestingly shown by this companys
experience.
During the last eighteen months, the
National Surety Company has bonded
$4,000 workers OF leading war char
tiles throughout the country, at a total
risk Of s47.550QO0
In no case has this huge war char
ity fidelity risk resulted In loss 10 our
company.
This experience was fully anticipated
by the company because OF the patri-
otic character Of men and women en-
gagged in the work; and an unusually
low rate Of premium was therefore re-
qulred-practlcally only enough to COW
or the cost Of handling the details.
In one instance, officials OF a New
York bazaar embezzled; but, although
they were indicted, their defalcatlon
was made good from other sources.
and our company was not called on 10
pay the indemnity.
The above general experience may
also be said TO include and represent
our company's experience with peace
charity workers. except as 10 profess
sional subscription solicitors, who are
paid on a commission basis, and who
are regarded as such questionable risks
that we hesitate to bond them without
careful Investigation.
