Several officers having heard the

Fifteen hundred Japanese soldiers

MORE THAN A BILLION
WASTED IN AIRCRAFT

Washington, Oct. 16--Expenditure
of 81 ,055, 600, 900 for the creation of
air craft which never reached the bat
tie front, and useless waste in the con-
struction of railroads, are proved by
testimony taken by Chairman James
A. Frear, of the subcommittee named
by the War Expenditures Committee
to visit the Pacific Coast.
Of the original amount of $1,000
100000 appropriated by Congress for
air work in the prosecution of the
war, enough was stopped by legisla-
tion shortly after the armistice to
bring the figure down to nearly a bill
lion dollars, but of this total not any
actual battle result was ever achieved.
There were 235 de Haviland observa-
ton planes on the front, but no bomb
ing machines. 1t is expected that the
full evidence of the ruthless extrav-
agance in the expenditure will be
brought out in the report of the COM
mittee
In Oregon railroad spur for log
ging purposes was built from Yakima
Bay south to what is known as the
Blodgett tract. The 23 miles of road
were constructed at cost of SOC, 900 a
mile. The cost of building this same
road in ordinary circumstances would
have been $4,000 or $4,000 a mile.
On December 2, 1918, nearly month
after the signing of the armistice, a
contract was made for the purchase of
timber in the Blodgett tract at the
price of $675, 900. This when all ne
cessity for the purchase had passed.
Another road was constructed from
Yakima Bay north ten miles, at cost
of 81 ,440, 900, or $144,00 per mile, as
compared to the $4,000 or SIS, 900 per
mile for average construction of log
ging roads in that section. This was
not built directly into the spruce tract
needed for airplane construction, but
by roundabout and unnecessary
way.
From a junction at Disque, on the
Chicago, Milwaukee G. st. Paul Rail-
road, into the Lake Pleasant and
Olympic tract of spruce in Washing
ton, So miles of logging road were
built at cost of $4,000, 900. This does
not include equipment at an addition
al cost of 100000 per mile. The road
was not built directly into the tract,
but by such route as would eventu-
ally benefit the main line Of the road.
All of the three roads investigated
we're found to have been salvaged af-
ter the war for about per cent Of the
cost to the government, and can be of
benefit only to the main lines Of the
Northern Pacific and the Chicago,
Milwaukee 4 st. Paul, All Of the
contracts were let by the Secretary Of
War. '..t'-
