lafy Of War To commence at once work on the Wilson dam.
 Corporation Provided
 The bill provides for the incorpora- tion of federal chemical corporation. In order to keep this out of politics I have provided that the board of di- rectors shall hold office during good behavior, which means life, the same as the supreme court, but with re- call provision that a member can be removed any time by concurrent reso- lution of House and Senate. There Is also a provision making 1t a misde- meanor for any member of the board to permit the use of political or par tisan influence In the selection of an employe or In the promotion of any such employe, and if any member of the board shall take any official &C., tion for political reasons he shall be subject to fine and imprisonment and a conviction of this offense shall automatically remove him from office.
 This corporation will have charge of all property, including the dams, all the machinery, railroads, engines cars, etc, amounting In value when the work is completed to several hun dreds of millions of dollars. The cor poration will have authority in time of peace to manufacture fertilizer and to establish an agency for the selling of fertilizer anywhere in the United States, and in order to prevent mo- nopoly in the fertilizer business they have authority to make a complete fertilizer and to sell chemicals for the manufacture of fertilizers, with the provision that such manufacturers shall agree to the provisions of the board, it being the object of this part of the bill to prevent monopoly in the fertilizer business.
 Express authority Is given If necessary to sell direct to the farmer and to organizations of farmers.
 Under Federal Control
 This corporation is, of course, governmental corporation, and while it can sue and be sued and do any thing that any other corporation can do, nevertheless, 1t is under control of the government and the bill pro- vides for no appropriation In it's au- thorization. It outlines a policy. It will take several years-it will take three years before the dam now in construction can be completed, it will take 10 years, I should say before the complete development of .he power of the river as now outlined in the bill will be completed.
 This bill will be before the com mittee next week with the offer of all persons who have made any pro- position to buy or lease the govern ment property at Muscle Shoals If 1t becomes law, of course. all other propositions will be set aside"
 Section of the resolution fixes the salary of the three board mem bers at s7,500 a year and provides ffr hAf, time by congressional action.
 No member of the board the res- olution says, shall during his con tinuance in office be engaged in any other business but shall give his entire time to the business of said corporation. Said board shall select one of it's members as president. It shall select treasurer and as many assistant treasurers as it deems proper"
