SALES OF SURPLUS
PROPERTY STOPPED
Waste Caused by Buying Stock
on Hand in Other De-
partments.

WASHINGTON. July 21.-SaIes of Gov
eminent surplus property were ordered
stopped to-day by Director Dawes of
the Budget Bureau pending creation Of
coordinated machinery to control sales.
Creation of this machinery by Executive
order will be announced soon. Mr.. Dawes
said
The order does not apply to transfer
OF surplus property from one Govern
rent department to another, nor is II
intended to prevent the departments
from taking advantage of any excep-
tionaI or seasonal opportunities for the
sale of property, especially perishable
property. the Director said.
"A large and currently accruing loss
to the United States" Gen. Dawes said,
"is resulting from uncoordinated con-
troll over the surplus of the different
departments. Building material. steel.
cement. lumber. furniture. ships. auto
mobiles. textiles. food supplies. buildings,
&c, are owned by the United States and
available for its current use.
I'm the face of a large supply on
hand, because of a lack of coordinated
control and system of survey. with facili-
ties for bringing to the knowledge Of
all the departments the requirements
of each. the different departments Of the
Government have been buying different
classes of material In the open market
with little recourse to stocks on hand"

Mr. Fordney said: 1T has been said

without industry and employment. in

Our prosperity will be reflected in
