 Col. Forbes said this was the i'm prcssion he had received on his re- cent tour of the United States.
 We have farmed out men under the Federal systems nothing short of the crime of slavery" the state ment of Col. Forbes says. We have put men in some places that I am opposed to. I am against the sweat shop system and do not propose to let more service men be exploited by mushroom houses that have sprung up fnerrily, yet at the government s expense"
