should he made. Among these is tn
one made on the bottom Of page eigL
in the letter from the secretary of wal
document number 1857, where the secre
tary draws attention TO the fact that
language contained therein is susceptible
Of conIruction to the effect that Mr..
Ford is personally bound to only see
that his company enters into the con
tracts required to carry out the terms
of the proposal. All doubt in regard to
Mr.. Ford's personal liability should be
removed.
Should Make 10000 Tons Year.
"The most important thing that
ought TO be clarified is the follow
ing: s.
THAT Mr.. Ford undertakes TO make
10000 tons of nitrogen per year and if
be does not make it the property is to
revert to the government. After all, the
fixing of the nitrogen is the crux of the
whole contract. 1 am quite sure that
the contracts means to cover this point
but it should be made clear.
However great the pecuniary re-
wards might be TO Mr.. Ford or to any
one else who, will undertake it, there
will be an added combination of almost
inestimable value to the future of
American agriculture and the safety of
America in time of war"

Bernard Baruch, wartime chairman o
the War Industries Board.
Mr.. Baruchs letter incorporating BIZ
views, addressed to Gray Silver, Wash
ington representative of the farm com
mittee, was taken to the capitol by fed
Grafton officials today for presentation
to the House Agricultural Committee
was as follows:
Pursuant to your request, L an
handing you a report on the situation
relating to the development of nitrate
plant at Muscle Shoals. This report
was originally prepared several weeks
ago and since then has been re-checked
by its author, Leland, other than whom
| think there is no man better quail
fled to judge.
"Here is the way it lies in my
mind 1t is the evident desire of all
and in that i include myself, to de.
velop at Muscle Shoals a new source
of nitrogen. This would exclude any
bids or offers that did not carry an
obligation TO produce and develop cop-
mereial nitrogen.
Federal Operation Not Favored.
"This can be done in the following
ways:
"1-By government development. Ex-
cept as a last resort, j am opposed to
this because of the inherent disad-
vantage.
"2-By combination of industry.
either with government cooperation or
"3-By the Ford development. This
apparently is the only offer that has
come forward from n private source
promising development along CONNER
.ial lines. If no more advantageous Of
,er should be made, the arguments
against awarding the contract to Henry
Ford would not be convincing.
