ny; Nash used this 70 bring home his
point that Christ did not address this
parable TO prodigal sons, but to the
tcrtbes and pharisees; II was an APP
peal TO fothers TO have a home ready
when their prodigal sons had seen the
light come TO themselves and sought
a chance to lead a better life.
II was not addressed though, TO the
unrepenant prodigal, who was still
yasting his substance In riotous llv-
ing: but when this man had seen the
light humanity's heart should be
opened unto him, and he should have a
better menu than the husk OF the feld. |
Christ had to labor hardest to get |
humanity across to the people OF His |
day than any other message He

OF the information unearthed by this
committee
There are now pending before the
Claims Board of the War Department
about 800 claims aggregating approx
mately 5000, 900, 900. with probable liza
bility TO the Government of SOC. 000, 900
or 500 000.000 1t Is the opinion of this
committee that these claims should be
turned over to the Court of Claims and
that any further adjustments of war
contracts should be made by a court Of
record
Some interesting facts in connection
with the War Departments practice of
settling claims for contracts cancelled
following the armistice and at the same
time expending money from the War
Emergency Appropriation for the same
sort of material covered in the contracts
is disclosed in the report Of the sub
committee on Foreign Expenditures, of
which Representative Royal C. Johnson
(Rep., S. d. is chairman. which is now
before the full committee
The report shows that while a claim
was paid TO a corporation manufacture
ing the "Militor' truck for the cancella-
ton OF a contract involving / 900 trucks
and while large numbers OF trucks were
being returned from France the DEPART
ment went ahead and ordered rs addi-
tional new trucks at a cost OF $4,000
| each. The original requisition called for
$50 of these new trucks. but strenuous
protest by General H L.
Rogers. In q letter dated October IL,
1919. probably resulted in cutting the
order In two. In any event the War
Department last February contracted
for 75 Of these trucks, and THE NEW
YORK HERALD has been informed that
the order has not been cancelled
The report of the subcommittee on
Foreign Expenditures on this transaction
follows in part:
ut Is established In evidence that we
still have on hand at least $500 first
class tractors for the hauling of guns
and an abundance of trucks and trac-
tors for general military purposes. 1t
Is also established that these gun trac-
tors are better than any that the Allies
used in the war. With the most liberia
allowance for tractors for ordnance pur-
poses. even to meet motorizatlon pro-
Gramme far larger than any contem-

that the number of military tractors we

course as a result of the disclosures
