WAR FRAUD CHARGES
UP FOR PROSECUTION
Daugherty Says Cases OF First Mag
nitude Ready to Hand To
Grand Jury.

Washington, May 9.-Attorne
/ General Daugherty, in a statement
prepared at the request of Presid mt
( Harding and transmitted by the
President today to Representative
Mondell, of Wyoming, Republican
House leader, declared 1.-THE record
of the Department of Justice in con-
nection with war contract cases calls
for no apology and none is intended. -
Apparently referring to recent
charges in the House of Inaction in
prosecution of war fraud cases, the
Attorney General asserted 1.-THE plans
are laid and all cases will be energet-
ically prosecuted"
He added that very substantial
progress" had been made to date by
the department, despite lack Of ade-
quate facilities in men and money.
The Attorney General in his state
ment, which was read to the House
by Repres sntative Mondell, estimated
that the lggI egate possible recov-
cries. iu several hundred psrding
cases involving alleged war frauds
should the Government be complete
ly successful. probably would total
500, 100000.
Mr.. Daugherty further said it was
terrible thing to charge a citizen
with robbing his own Government
and for that reason he had insisted
on 1.-THE most painstaking investiga-
ton of all cases involving charges of
criminality." He asserted that it
was ''regretable that public attention
should have been so strongly focused
on the cases upon the eve of their
prosecution" and added:
"Those who may be indicted will
Justify proclaim that they are the,in-
nocent victims of stimulated activi-
ty for political effect. Such, how
ever, will not be the case, and the
Department of Justice will not be
sweryed from laid plans
by any such consideration"
Two cases "of the first magnitude"
were ready for submission to Nthe
grand jury. said Mr.. Daugherty, add
ing that one was nationwide in
scope" If this case had been pre-
sented without investigation covering
a wide range, he said, 1.-THE principals
might have been indicted and their
liability to the Government in large
established. The investiga-
ton. however, developed "a great
many others who have been lurking
In the shadows are also involved In
the unlawful transactions, the let
ter said, and 1.-THE result may be
that the principals and several others
in all probability will be indicted |
here, and other indictments against |
The principals and different groups of
may be expected to follow
IN other parts of the country"
A third case, (which has received |
publicity" will be ready
when the two cases have been fully
presented.
