Crowell Denies Delay i'm
War Claim Adjustments
Says Department Has Settled
24,851 Cases and Saved
,O48.05O

From, The Trtbune's Washtngtou Bur.nu
WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Respond-
ing to the complaint Of the Chamber Of
Commerce Of the United States that
the War Department has failed to
settle war claims promptly, and has
delayed unnecessarily in disposing of
war plants and equipment, Assistant
Secretary Crowell to-day transmitted
a lengthy explanation to D. A. Skin
ner, secretary of the chamber.
Mr.. Crowells letter informed the
chamber that the War Department was
making efforts to close up its war
claims settlement work by June 80.
"The War Department has pushed
these cases to as early a settlement as
practical" said Mr.. Crowell, "and up to
May is, 1920, 24,851 Of the 26,449 con-
tracts requiring settlement, involving
l4,632, ,881.77, have been settled. The
settled contracts total S2,956, 1870, ,519 10.
These contracts were settled by the
payment in final adjustment of $685.
781 ,640.26, or thirteen per cent Of the
original obligations. In making these
settlements the department has saved
to the government $2,571 ,048, 5000.
"Ihe War Department also has taken
over quantities of material and equip
ment, which have been sold at CON
siderable additional return to the gov
ernment.
These results are noteworthy, and
considering the enormous amounts in
volved and the intricate nature of the
contracts which have been settled, are
believed to justify the relatively
limited time consumed by the depart
ment in reaching them"

number Of states have selected more
