Owing to the delay occasioned by securing

we were compelled to hold up the sale of Units

for the results thus far accomplished.
What the hearings thus far reveal
is but a scanty part of the whole
story that will be told when the
study of the industry is finally COM
pleted. Hearings will be resumed
early in December. Continuation of
the work after January will depend
upon the wishes of the Senate re-
specting the appropriation of more
money to complete it.
Threatens Civilization.
Though the investigation thus far
has but scratched the surface, it has
removed scabs and revealed nasty
sores to the light Of day where all
the world may observe the grave
symptoms of disease that now and
then assumes proportions threatening
civilization in its entirety. That dis
ease is commonly called war. Many
have looked upon it as one of the
incurable diseases, a plague which
mankind must tolerate. Now We are
given to see that this plague is often
man-made, its causes traceable in in
stances directly to men. I venture
10 guess that the munitions inveSti-
CATION (the first of its kind ever dared

to create and satisfy the desires Of
nations for an adequate national de-
tense that they virtually have the
world marching straight to the hell
that another war will be. And the
whole motive behind this is what? Not
patriotiSml Not love for ones coun-
try! Only profit, profit, profit.
Necessity for Conclusions.
In preparation for this broadcast
have wanted to refrain from express
ing heated conclusions. But III swear
that no one with other than ice cubes
in his veins could have heard the teSti-
mony and seen the facts which have
been made of record through these
three weeks Of hearings and refrain
from speaking his mind in no uncer-
tain way. Truth as respects the mu-
nitiOns industry is so simple, as truth
always is simple. that there cannot
we'll be any hedging in speaking it.
Let it be understood that in speak
ing tonight l do not undertake to
speak for the Senate Committee, for l
am here only as one who heard the
testimony from the lips and records Of
leading representatives of the Amer
iCan munitions industry. As chairman
of the committee. I could not now
ignore the splendid cooperation which
has been devoted to the ascertainment
of the facts by the entire membership
of that committee Not once has there
been any indication that any part of
the committee was averse to ferreting
out the whole truth. l think no con-
gressional committee has ever served
as unijedly as has this committee in
vestigating the munitions industry,
and it is my wish, to pay compliment
to my committee colleagues, Senator'S
George Of Georgia. Vandenberg of
Michigan. Clark of Missouri Barbour
of New Jersey, Bone of Washington
and Pope of Idaho. We were espe-
cially fortunate in our choice of a staff
to coordinate the findings of a larger
staff of accountants and research
men. and to Stephen Raushenbush

deed. we may even hope now for
segregation, control and cure Of the
disease.
The investigation has brought
forth painful yelps from some in
dividuals and groups. Some govern
mentS and more officials have COM
planned of the committees program
and policy, have said that the study
was not sufficiently observant of the
niceties or diplomacy at all times and
that the committee has tread upon
toes without the exercise of proper
discretion, caution and guard.
An investigation of the arms ques-
ton without treading upon official
and semi-official toes would be no in
vestigation at all. OF necessity we
have had to deal with the secret
courses pursued by the manufacturers
and sellers of instruments of war.
statesmen have been weaving their
way into governments, deceiving,
frightening, corrupting as their well
fare and profit dictated. Because of
the manner in which they have
woven themselves into the very
fabric of governments, the industry
has won a status of sacrednesS and
secrecy which has enlarged its op-
portunity to thrive in way to re-
turn good profit to its owners.
RacketS thrive best when nourished
by dark secrecy, and when govern
ments lend hands to the racketeers
the sky is the limit as respects the
flow of profits and blood money.
Governments Partners.
I repeat that there is no racket"
to compare with that of the sale of
munitions of war. Governments have
fought. at great cost the beer. liquor,
white slave. dope and kidnap rackets.
The munitions racket, one whose VIC
tim is all civilization. has govern
ments as its partners. unconsclously
on the part of governments perhaps,
Doubly difficult. then. becomes the
task of destroying or controlling the
racket, a racket wearing the cloak oil
responsibility by reason of its aSSo-
citation with and in governments.
That such a partnership exists Is
one OF the clear conclusions growing
out OF the present investigation. 1t
must therefore be apparent that Moth
ing short OF wide and sweeping dis
closures of the truth will ever awaken
the world to a degree that will win
reform to check the mad race now
on toward more war. 1t is my sin
cerest hope that the pending in
vestigation may be permitted the time
and money to develop the whole truth,
however embarrassing it may be to
governments or individuals.
I cannot Undertake to tell all that
has been developed by the investiga-
ton of the munitions industry to date.
But let me recite some of the dis

closures which are not to be denied. |
That the muni' .ons industry knows

nership and working agreements with
industries and individuals swearing
allegiance under different flags. The
Electric Boat Co. of Groton, Conn,
maker of Uncle Sans submarines,
sells its patents and designs and Ii
cenSe to manufacture to, among
others, Vickers in Great Britain, who
build Britain's submarines. Between
them there are agreements as to the
division of the world into sections in
which each may sell, agreements in
volving the sharing of profits, with
the once mystery man of Europe, Sir
Basil Zaharoff, seemingly the master
mind in the very profitable game Of
arming countries against each other
with the same instruments and Sc
crets" of combat. While Zaharof may
once have been a mystery man, he
stands naked of mystery today and
is known now as nothing more than
man whose great wealth has come
through his ability to cash in on the
hates and suspicious of nations. an
ability greatly aided by the honors
which competing nations and rulers
have bestowed upon him.
Du Pont Tie-up.
The great American du Pont con-
Germ, considered the industry which
will be of greatest utility to our coun-
try in the event of another war, has
its tie-up with the great Imperial
Chemical Industries of Britain and
with like institutions in other lands
Between them is constant exchanging
of secrets in the development of
instruments intended to give one
country an advantage over others in
the event of war. During the course
of the hearings two weeks ago a
spokesman for the du Points undertook
to Justify their sales and profits dur
ing the World War by painting a
frightful picture of the purposes Of
Germany and the great cause of the
allies. He didn't hesitate in agreeing
that had it not been for the du Pont
service to the allies, the United States
might very easily today be a German
province There was much of irony in
the disclosure the following day that

benefit of their own country. but for
their own benefit In producing and
selling like supplies to all the world.
That the munitions industry has
organized and sponsored war scares
to the end that markets might be
created for the supplies from their
laboratories and shops is very definite

vestigation.

the du Points had entered into con-
tract which would make their prod

there was irony in the confession Of
the American Electric Boat Co. that
it was American patents that entered
into the building of the German sub
marines which did our American cause
so much damage during the World
War.

Hints to the Hostess

Hints to the HOStesS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
All my life I have lived in a
small town, in a small apart
ment. Soon I shall take over
a friends home, with maid.
How shall I greet callers?
Should I shake hands when
receiving the guests and when
they leave? OF course, I want
to be gracious, but not too in
formal, as we are where I now
live.
How soon should a call be
returned?
Is the hostess always served
first at meals? S.
Yes, you, as hostess, rise and
offer your hand in greeting all
guests to your home, men and
women, as they arrive. And as
YOU cordially shake hands, you
say how happy you are to see
them.
What you say depends on
the degree of friendship you
have with the guest. Perhaps
you say, How do you do. Mrs.
wells, I am so glad to see
you," or Hello, Jane. What a
ioy to have you stop in," or
"How do you do, Mrs. Allen. I
have been looking forward so
much to seeing you"
And when your guests leave,
YOU rise and shake hands with
them, and tell them, for in
stance, "Good-by, Mrs. Ashley.
It was delightful to have you
come please come again very
soon" or "Good.oy, Ellen.
Thank you so much for coming.
and I do hope that you will
come again soon."
Calls should be returned in
about 10 day|two weeks at
the most.
The woman guest Of honor
should be served first. This
gives her the "honor" that Is
due her.
And this order of serving
should be maintained whether
the service is by a wat@eSS'

Correct Manners

or by the host or hostess at
table.
There is no point these days,
when foods are so simple and
so simply served, for the host
ess to have herself served first.
This doesn't "honor" her guest.
If a hostess feels that some
dish that she is including in her
menu may dismay a guest as
to how it should be served, she
may have the portions indi-
Gated, and the serving pieces
placed beneath the first Serv-
ing, or on the sides Of the first
serving.
All the guest Of honor needs
to do is to take the serving
fork in her left hand, and the
serving spoon in her right
hand, and help herself to the
dish that is being passed.
Shower Talk
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
What is the proper talk for
q girl to give after the gifts
have been opened at her bridal
shower? +.
The betrothed girl doesn't
wait until after all Of the gifts
have been opened to give o
"talk" about the gifts in gen.
eral. Instead, as she opens
each gift, she thanks the giver
Of the gift, first for her
thoughtfulnesS, and then for
the gift itself. commenting on
its beauty or the use for which
it is obviously destined.
Somewhat like this, perhaps,
