disposed Of s1.445 .s75 900 at a total
average loss of 46 per cent. It's lack OF
method and selling ability is shown In
the fact that while the Navy Depart
ment had made a S3.000.000 profit on
500 900, 600 worth of surplus sold dur
ing the good buyers market that con-
tinued until last August, the army had
gone along steadily declaring losses
| that rose from 8 per cent. to their pres
ent depreciation. The army now holds
by far the great proportion of salaole
surplus material. totalling. according to
its own books. twice as much as the
navy and Shipping Board. Yet the
army Is fighting hardest to continue
selling as a commercial organization on
it's own hook
A rough estimate of the property
that should be sold places the total value
at between S1,500.000,000 and $4,000
000. 900. That Is not the official estimate
and does not agree with the estimates
shown by the books of these three or
ganizations The army has only $751;
10000 worth of property now on hand
actually declared surplus, according to
It's books, but for that matter 1t had only
$192 900, 900 worth on hand November
40 last, according to those same books,
since which time It has disposed of near
iy $500. 200 worth of goods.
AS the army finds Ii does nos need sup
plies being held In reserve, 1t declares
them surplus. and they are added to the
surplus property list almost as fast as
the material already on the list is sold.
During the next few months army Of
ficers believe there will be approximately
another $250.000,000 or 100000, 900
worth Of surplus added. Some say 1t
will be the last property the supply
division will mark on as surplus. while
others insist thege viii be close to 81
900, 600. 900 declafed surplus within the
next twelve or thirteen months.
A similar condition obtains In the Ship
ping Board. 1t has a declared surplus
OF about STAG, 900. 900. But there is be-
lieved to be from 100000. 900 to $400,-
900, 900 worth Of Shipping Board ma
terial that should be considered as sur
plus and that ought to be sold before IT
becomes actually useless
The navy seems to be the only selling
organization that knows much about It's
own business. The navy has yet to be
sold about $35. .000. 900 worth Of property.
and its selling organization has made
an unofficial survey Of all yards and sta
tions that would indicate there Is pos
sibly as much more to be declared sur
Plus.
The principal trouble Win the army
has been that II took II so long to find
out what It had to sell that II lost
its market One OF the advantages OF a
civil liquidation commission Is that It
will be able to go to the several Gov
ernment departments and tell them to
get busy and find out how much they
have to sell. 1t can go to the supply
division Of the army and tell II to ma
out once and for all how much or It's
after the war reserve stock It Is going
10 require for a permanent reserve.
Then II can say, declare the remainder
surplus now. SO we can sell 1t when
the proper market comes. instead OF de-
claring It surplus when you get good
and ready and possibly missing the
market"
The truth about the army is that

Special Despatch 70 TIE Ngw York HrRAin.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., April 20.
Within a few weeks President Har-
ding is expected to ask Congress to
create a special commission to dis
pose of the vast quantities Of left over
war materials In the possession of the
War and Navy departments and the
Shipping Board.
The value Of the material. which in
cludes almost everything from a pin
to AN ocean liner, has been estimated
as high as $4,000. .oo0, 600. 1t is not like
ly that figure is accurate, but nobody
knows exactly how much there is Of
the material or what It is worth.
That muddle the proposed commits
sion will have to straighten out The
books Of the War and Navy depart
ments and the Shipping Board at PRES
ent show on their face surplus ma
terials valued at about half a billion
dollars, but 1t is no secret that many
articles are being held in great guam
titles. especially by the War Depart
ment. which might be sold. Three or
four times the amount disclosed on
the books might be a more accurate
figure.
Every taxpayer In the country is in
terested In the disposal Of that ma
terial. not only because much Of It. as
for instance army food and clothing
supplies. may be put on the market at
reduced prices, but because OF the re-
auction in taxes that would b. possible
II the Government received q fair re-
turn in dollars.
Since the armistice the Government
has sold nearly $4,000. 100000 worth of
surplus war stock. IL Is estimated there
was an average loss OF 35 or 40 cents
on the dollar. The sales have resulted
in price cutting scandals from the be-
ginning and there is evidence that they
have not ceased with the new Admins
tration. That Is one OF the evils Presi-
dent Harding and his Cabinet want to
check
The proposed commission would de-
termine what should be sold. the method
Of putting It on the market finding
buyers and fixing the prices
The Cabinet 10 understood to be In
favor Of the creation Of the liquida-
ton commission. but certain subordi-
nate officials of the departments. es-
pecially some Of the men now engaged
In the sales work want to keep the
management In their hands.
The War Department confesses that
II does not know what It has in the
way Of left over war materials. Some
OF II Is virtually lost and may turn UP
in some forgotten warehouse years after
It has become worthless to the Govern
ment or anybody else. unless a thorough
investigation Is made.
The President is considering the mat
ter and during the last week has had
several conferences with his Cabinet
In particular. he has taken il up with
Secretary Weeks and with Secretary

An amendment to reduce the salary or
the Assistant Director of the Budget
from $4,000 a year, as originally pro-
posed, to $500 was offered to-day by
Senator Harrison (Miss), Democrat
and accepted by Senator Mccormick.
The Senate rejected other amendments
proposed by Senator Harrison, which he
said were offered "in the interest OF
economy" which would have cut sal
aries of some minor officials and have
reduced the total expense $4,000 year.
Charges were made by Senator King
(Utah, during the debate that Cabinet
officials now are exceeding their au-
thority in expenditures authorized in
former appropriations by Congress.

Senator Smoot (Utah) that there would
be deficiencies by July / totalling $780,

CONTROL OVER CABLES
Plan Is to Stimulate Business
Relations.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., April 20.
Complete control over the landing or
operation OF submarine cables is vested
in the President in legislation unaA-
;mously approved by the Senate to-day
without a roll call 1t is designed to
enable the President to stimulate de-
velopment of cable communication be-
tween the United States and other coun-
tries, particularly South America. as a
means of improving commercial and
political relations
In his explanation OF the bill Senator
Kellogg (Minn.). Republican. its author,
said the controversy between the State
Department and the Western Union
Telegraph Company over the unauthor-
ICED landing of cable at Miami last
year disclosed need for further legisla-
ton. which he insisted ought to enlarge
the power Of the President over cables
The legislation. Senator Kellogg said.
would be the means of improving cable
communication.
There is a great dearth OF American
news" he continued, "in South America.
n Japan and in China. The testimony
shows the most pressing need for cable
and radio communication with all parts
OF the world"

GOOD START

F@oIt the first time in many years n republican county wide primary
a has been held without a fsctional contest. In such a primary,
! where no particular effort is made to get out votes, interest IL
usually slight and participation limited. There was a very suhsan-
tsl vute. however, in both the city precincts during the four hours
Of ballotine yesterday afternoon, and although there val but one
ticket Of delegates proposed IN each precinct, several hundred re-
pubIrsnz came out 20 vote for Il. In the country precincts the same
general harmony existed and attendance At the primaries was pro
pcrfionaseiy larger.
Undoubtcdiy much Of this unusual and gratifying evidence Of
pcaec among Rernalllo county republicans il due 10 the fact that all
republicans Of all factions Of the past are favorable 20 the nomina-
lion Of Senator Bursum. and where there is no issue Il is difficult
70 get up = fight There Is plenty OF reason to believe, however, that
another contributing cause is that Bernalino county republicans are
not only tired Of fighting among themselves but also realize the UNI
wisdom OF continuing contests Tint merely serve to deliver political
victory over TO the minority.
Reports from the primaries in and out OF the. city indicate that
a great many Of these who followed the independents in their fusion
movement last November, have come back into line as regulars
These republicans should be and no doubt viii be treated with ut
most fairness in Che convention tomorrow and IN party organization
matters in the future.
A good start has been made toward a complete restoration OF
republican union and harmony in this county. Every republican
who has the welfare of his party at heart viii bend every effort to
keep tfat good start moving.
