CITY CLUB DELAYS
BUILDING OF HOME
Finance Committee Reports
Against Borrowing Money
At This Time.

That profitcering is the chief dis
turbing factor in the present eco
nomic situation. and that labor can
not be persuaded to increase produc-
tion so long as profiteering exists,
was maintained by w. Jett Lauck,
consulting economist for the railway
brotherhoods. who spoke TO members
of the City Club at the willard Hotel
last night.
Lauck declared the profiteer was
more dangerous TO the community
than the agitator OF radical and rev.
olutionary forms OF government
"The profiteer is not only morally
contemplate and economically a par
asite. but he is an enemy or our
self-governing Democratic institute
ions. He Is more an enemy OF those
who have property than the adVo-
Gates OF revolutionary or communis'
tic socialism. for the profiteer creates
conditions which give birth to such
agitators and their adhercnts.
For the same reason he is a seri-
Gus danger to the legitimate trade
union movement. The conservative
and liberal classes and the trade
unionist have here, as they often
have elsewhere. a common interest
in the~preventing OF the profiteering
evil"
shows Excess Profits.
He presented figures to show that
the combined corporations of the
country earned in net profits approx
imately $4,000 900 900 more per year
during the years 1916-17-1S than dur
ing the corresponding three-ycar pre-
war period. This excess OF profit
constituted a profiteering tax OF S24o
per year for every family in the
country.
The speaker declared that 2,030 cor
porations earned in net profits more
than 100 per cent per year on their
capital stock during the three war
years.
Erection of City Club building on
the G street site was deferred until a
more opportunc time by unanimous
vote of the club last night.
Milton f. Allies, chairman OF the
finance committee, reported that a
thorough investigation had been made
as to the advisability of borrowing
money for building purposes, and that
the committee and the board OF gov
ernors concurred in the belief that
the present was no time to undertake
the project.
The committee recommended that
the board of governors look into the
advisability of repairing the buildings
on the future club site with view to
renting them until such time as viii
be deemed wise to start the building
project
Project Not Abnndoned.
Maurice d. Rosenberg, chairman or
a special committee on the building
project, said tho report of the finance
committee by no means meant the
abandonment of the project but mere
ly the postponement of building. He
estimated the cost OF the proposed
building would approximate $1,000, 600.
The meeting was concluded by
musical program and a buffet supper.
