To handle the work, which has the
approval of President Harding, Mr..
Daugherty said a special bureau is be-
ing organized which will have as its
head some well known man Of proved
ability and q staff of experts in diff
ferent lines Of business.
The purpose of the investigation, he
is to sift the war time deal
ings of business concerns and individ-
uals with the government in order that
those guilty of dishonesty may be pun
ished and those whose dealings have
been fair may be cleared from what
he declared were suspicious prevalent
in the public mind that all of the gov
ernment's war contracts are open to
question.
Declaring that the investigation was
not directed primarily at ''the little
fellows the attorney general said:
"We will throw back any minnows we
catch in our net and let them start
over again."
At the conclusion of the work, Mr..
said, he would submit re-
port to the president, but meanwhile
would not disclose the progress of the
lest the governments
work be hindered.
Mr.. Daugherty expressed confidence
hat the great majority of the bust
ness men who had dealings with the
government were beyond reproach in
heir methods, but that there had un-
been a great many instances
where business had been done on an
unfair basis.
