European governments after the ar
mistice was made today by Edwin b.
Parker. New York lawyer, former
chairman of the board, in testifying
before the house committee investi-
eating the conduct of the war.
Mr. Parker declared the policy
adopted in disposing of the great bulk
of supplies in Europe was unquestion-
ably wise and cited figures to prove
that if the same materials were on
hand today they would not bring the
prices, either in Europe or the United
States. thta the government obtained
when the bulk sales were made in
1919.
His examination was conducted
principally by Representative Flood.
of Virginia, democratic member of
the committee, with occasional ques-
tioning by Chairman johnson, of
South Dakota, and Representative
Bland. of Indiana, the republican
members.
A discussion arose among the com
mitteemen over the question of cali
ing other witnesses, Representative
Flood insisting that General Pershing
be summoned to answer criticisms.
1t was finally agreed that Mr.. Flood
should request the general to testify

also agreed to end the investiga ton
next Wednesday.

estimated at Sits, 900 900. France

tract to relieve the United States OF

lieving the United States of about
s150,000,000 customs duties which
would have had to be paid had the
materials been sold to other European
governments
The witness said Herbert Hoover, in
charge of the American relief work,
bought a large quantity of the army
supplies, but protested at the high
prices it asked for them. He added
that Mr.. Hoover cancelled ore big or
