an order for the production of the af-

General Harris contended that Pres
ident Wilson in the order promulgat-
ing the selective service act promised
that certain information in connec-
ton with the questionnaires would
nev,r, be made public and that among
this information was the physical
condition of the men examined, mat
ters relating to dependents and addi-
tonal matter or aflidav;ts that might
be filed.
In view of this the general con-
tended that he was stopped from
making the information public not
only by the law itself but also by the
presidents order which constituted! a
"moral promise" to the wives and
other relatives of men called to SER
vice that information furnished by
the men would be kept from the

TALK OF NITRATE
AS YEAR CLOSES
Flood o. Debate on Muscle Shoals
Lines are Drawn-Republican
Determined Not to Yield, AL
though Cry of Sectionalism is
Heard

Washington, Dec. 31.-Thc old year
:losed in the house tonight with a
flood of talk on the ups and downs
of Muscle Shoals
Working through to the eve of the
new year discussiong $10,000,000 ap-
preparation for completion of the
Wilson dam, part of the governments
big wartime nitrate project, the house
adjourned with lines sharply drawn
for fresh fight Monday and de-
termination on the part of Repub-
leans opposing further aid not to
yield, even in the face Of a cry of
sectionalism.
All day long the dam project was
bitterly attacked and warmly de-
Tended. 1t remained, however, for
Chairman Graham Of the Investigate
ing committee, which went over the
ground, to turn loose the guns upo
the little Alabama settlement into
which, he declared there had been
dumped with reckless disregard for
the future enough money to erect
half of the public buildings in Wash
ington.
The other side Of the picture was
presented by Representative Garrett,
Democrat, Tennessee, himself mem
Der of the Investigating body, who
pleaded for funds with which to go
ahead with construction Of the dam
named lor the president, and which
he insisted would be vital cog i'm
the American machinery of war.
The charge by Mr.. Garrett that the
people Of the South could see in the
opposition to the measure no ground
except ScctiOnalism was vigorously
denied by Chairman Graham, who said
a dam like that now being construct
cd in the Tennessee river never had
been built in the history of the world,
and probably never would.
From the proposal advanced BY
Southern representatives that the
house put into the sunGry civil bill
the $10,000,000 stricken out by the
committee, the debate jumped from
the dam itself to nitrate plants two
miles away, involving the policy of
the government in selecting Muscle
Shoals as site and building there a
600
Mr.. Garrett declared that to stor
work now on the undertaking, 80 pei
cent complete and for which $17,00O,-
600 had been expended, not only
would bring great loss to the gov,
Crnmcnt but would be "thc height
Of folly" when nitrate establishments
ranked as the most vital assets il

other hand, contenhcd that CONGRESS
"should not go deeper into the hole
until it had decided on diffcrcr
policy IS to disposal of the plant.
There was decided opposition fron
som" quarters to a bill now pcndin
which would convert the Aiaban

The commission says also that the
law instead of increasing the strength
of the already great American indus
trial establishments has enabled the
smaller concerns to band together in
fashion to push fully organized cx-
port trade in keen competitive man
ncr, which they are not able to do at
home. TO this extent, the commission
believes, the law has worked to the
great advantage of the small firms
