Uncle Sam's Buying And Selling

divides the country according to the nine army corps areas. The man in charge of sales and transfers of sup plies from one department or bureau of the government to another is Known as a co-ordinator one being provided for each of the corps areas. There is chief eo-ordinator also. This system will remain in effect un- less better one can be worked out and provided by legislative enact ment.
 The Army Not In Control
 General Dawes is particularly anxious to prevent the impression gaining ground that because the system is laid down along the geo. graphical lines of the army organiza- tlons the army will have any kind of control over the work of the CO., ordfnator or the supply division gen. erally. The corps areas were taken merely for the sake of the convenient division of the country, and no de- partment will have greater interest or influence in this work than any other One of the important duties of the co-ordinator is to fix prices at which supplies shall be transferred from one department to another. The old system of haggling and attempting to hold up other departments is abolished The -ordinator has the final word in fixing fair figure for the transfer of property. and there is no appeal from his decision.
 General Dawes and his staff are particularly anxious not to appear to be crfticizing the officials of any portion of the government For that reason General Dawes believes it would be unwise and create bad feel ing, when what he most seeks is CO., operation, to set forth any of the instances which occurred by the hundreds which forced the change in system as step toward economical running of the government machine. However, many of tbese have come to light.
 One waste under the old system was the duplication of effort on the part of many of the departments Representative Fess of Ohio once pointed out in the house that in many cases a dozen bureaus of the government were duplicating work, and that under the old system con gress Is called upon to appropriate money ten or twelve times over for the same work where it is thus per- formed in these dozen different places. The budget system will remedy this among many other evils when the first budget is presented to congress.
 A Film Film Flam
 A recent instance is known of
Arizona republican., 1921-08-07

I where one branch of the government uesired to obtain a quantity of nov Ing picture film. As the old system provided no means of this depart ment's knowing that another depart ment, right here in Washington had a surplus stock of film and that an exchange might be effected. the de- partment seeking the film went into the open market for it. A private in- dividual. discovering the excess SUD- ply Tn one department and the need for the film in the other, bought the Illrn in his own name and solds it back to the other branch of the gov ernment. making comfortable profit for himself which was. of course, a dead loss to the government. Under the new system. a co-ordinator would have fixed fair price for the film. and the transfer would have been made directly from one department to the ot1sr without any delays and haggling over the amount of funds to be transferred as a consideration for the film supply.
 Probably the greatest loss in the matter of sale of supplies is charge able to the war department It was almost inevitable that the war de- partment should be overstocked with food stuffs at the end of hostilitfes and after the American expedition ary forces were returned to this country and demobilized. Everyone IS familiar with the manner in which the war department disposed of it's excess supplies, and many families benefited through the purchase of canned goods and other surplus stock at very low prices.
 War department supplies also in- cluded vast quantities of blankets. Aree
 almost everything else. Thousands and thousands of dollars xIrth of this material were sold to any pur- chaser for fractional parts of their real values The old bugaboo arose of the department having the surplus stock demanding much higher prices from other derSrtments which need ed them than were demanded in open sales to the public.
 While all of this was going on. the shipping board. for one example, was buying food supplies for the crews of its ships in the open mar ket- There is no doubt that much of the old vdr department stock pur- chased by private individuals for a song was resold to the other branch of the government. the shipping board, at prices which were reason- able enough. but represented a hand some profit to the individuals who bought up quantities of war depart ment surplus stock for this very purpose.
 This sort of thing is impossible now. Each department is to have a director of purchases and a director of sales. both of whom will keep in close touch with the chief co-ordi- nator. Copies of the surplus proper ty reports of each department are to be furnished to the chief co-ordi- | nator.
 General Dawes has emphasized | that the new agency for the sale and l exchange of government supplies is entirely independent of all other de- partments of the government, just as | is his budget bureau

 More real, old-fashioned, non-pro- fessional sport may be had here than in any other city of Europe.
