haandling contracts and Govern
ment buying.
We recognize the Importance OF
conducting this investigation so as
not to add delay and confusion to
an accelerated defense program: yet
a properly conducted investigation
now can be valuable both for its de-
terrent affect on those who might
otherwise 60 wrong, and for con-
structive suggestions which 1t can
OFFER to the Congress for legislative
action and to the Executive for ad-
ministrative improvement. So that
instead of being a witch-hunt after
the mistakes are made and the
crimes committed, this committee
can be of immense constructive help
in bringing the defense program to
successful accomplishment. 1t is
fairer to judge the conduct of the
program in the light Of conditions
existing today, rather than in the
light of conditions that may exist
after the emergency has ended.
Must Match SeIectees.
One of the most effective brakes
on the insistence OF private indi-
viduals and pressure groups in deal
ing with the Government unfairly
is the fear of immediate exposure
and public criticism. II particular
transactions and certain contracts
are publicly labeled as undesirable
by the Senate committee, it would
unity administrative action and
strengthen the bargaining position
of the Government.
If our young men are being draft
ed for training and are forced to 20
to prepare against a real emer-
gency, then these gentlemen who
are acting for the Government must
be made to be extremely careful in
their handling of the preparations,
the camps and whatever else these
young men need. There should be
no profiteers Manufacturers, con-
tractors, bankers. labor and every
one else must be patriotic enough to
do their part for the country with
the same morale and the same will
ing spirit that these young men show
in the camps. II there Is proflteer-
ing. it will be exposed.
When people create delays for
profits, when they sell poor prod
ucts for defense use, when they
cheat on price and quality, they
aren't any different from a draft
dodger and the public at-large feels
just that way about it.
The Senate committee will start
its public hearings on April 7 by
first trying to obtain a clear pic
ture of the National Defense Pro-
gram, how it is handled and who
is responsible for its operation.
When We have that picture clearly
before us, we shall go into what
ever details that seem to US to need
adjusting. Any citizen who has in

and the accountings required of con-
tractors; 90 benefits accruing to
contractors with respect to amorti-
zation for the purposes of taxation
or otherwise; 80 practices of man
agement or labor, and prices, fees
and charges, which interfere with
such program or unduly increase the
cost, and 80 other such matters
as the committee deems appro-
pirate"
The committee is directed to re-
port to the Senate, as soon as prac-
ticable, the results of its study and
investigation, together with it's
recommendations.
This committee is a bipartisan
one and has adopted a policy of
making a thorough inquiry of the
subjects it undertakes to investigate
without prejudice or bias. There
will be no attempt to muckrake the
defense program, neither will the
unsavory things be avoided. The
welfare OF the whole country is at
stake in the successful conclusion of
our national defense policy. Where
there has been so much haste in
the expenditure of such enormous
sums there are bound to be leaks
and mistakes of judgment. Many
people believe in both patriotism
and profits, but sometimes, unfor-
tunately. profits come first with
them. My experience with the
public contractors is that they must
be carefully checked on Government
construction.
Plant Concentrations Noticeable.
There has been much converse
ton ABOUT the distribution of plants
and contracts on a more equitable
basis as regards military safety and
the stabilization of population, but
very little has been done about it
Less than 100 contractors have re-
ceived well over 80 per cent of some
S11 900 900 900 in contracts. A great
concentration of plants and con-
tracts Is very noticeable in many
areas. Tremendous housing prob
lens have been created both from
the standpoint of empty homes
caused by migration of labor from
an area and by a lack OF houses al
the concentration point. The Senate
committee will try to find what the
facts are and what the reasons
therefor are.
We want to know if we have really
made speed by all this haste. Have
we really accomplished our pur-
pose? We know that the cost has
been tremendous. We want to know
if there has been waste in an at.
tempt to speed up. How much excess
cost has been due to speed and how
much to willful or avoidable waste?
We want to know If the job IL
being done with minimum disloca-
ton Of the normal economic struc.
ture of the country. Is the little
manufacturer. the little machine
shop, the little merchant being
squeezed out in the name of national
defense? Is economic power being
further concentrated in a few hands?
Are the big fellows being made
bigger and more powerful at the ex-
pense Of democratic economy? We
don't want to lose the very prin-
ciples for which we stand by q

factories when these strenuous
times pass.
There are in this great United
States large numbers of small ma
chine shops and small factories. All
over the country these little inde-
pendent shops and factories have
made farm machinery parts. cream
Separators. manure Spreaders and
products for the great mail order
houses. In nearly every little town
there is factory or machine shop
that keeps from a half dozen to
hundred men employed. We want
to find out whether these small
shops and factories can be used in
this great program. OF course, the
big fellows want to buy and requisi-
ton their machines and move them
out. That makes a concentration
and a housing problem when they
are moved, and it makes a vacant
housing problem where they leave.
Bulletins come out of the National
Defense Advisory Commission say.

DAAAAOA AAALN ApllIC OuJ VI lllc OlllCe Ol
Production Management saying that
the patriotic duty of the owners is
to sell them. We want to find out
why they can't be used and left at
home
Subcontracts have been talked
about as a method of distribution
OF work and profits in the program.
But the big contractor wants all
he can get, and he usually comes
into the local setup from some dis
tanJ point, and if he lets subcon-
tracts he brings the subcontractors
with him. That is what is to be
expected. Contracts should be let
locally, as far as it is at all prac-
ticable.
This cannot always be true of en-
glneering and architectural facilities.
In using professional services, the
best is none too good for public
use, and naturally every effort
should be made to get the best. 1t
Is question. however, whether en-
| glneering firms should be made con-
! structlng contractors, also. This
has been done in many cases. It
is also charged that one or two
engineering and architectural firms
have been used to the exclusion of
many others just as competent and

CHAPTER TWENTY
How Third Witch Was Tricked

I1ON nltCn Vtdo AANhth
 Twenty miles from the border Carl and King Harald saw great, rolling clouds of smoke on the horizon. Ten miles from the bor- der they could hear guns roar. Two miles from the border they found Carl's old man friend sitting by the road.
 "Ho, there" shouted Carl What good luckl How did you get over here?"
 T thought you'd be coming along" said the old man.
 You and l know it was Santa, but Carl didn't know it yet. Santa had been talking with the peo- pie on the neighboring farms, so he had news.
 No one seems to know why the men are fighting" said Santa, but I found a very wise old grandmother in the house with the blue chimney Last night she saw a tiny witch asleep in one of her black peoples. Carl, this must be another witch that started the war"
 You're probably right. Let us go see the grandmother, said Carl.
 So they went to the grand

poppy he had saved. He dug that up very carefully and said, Now follow me to the river" They did.
 At the river bank Carl piled q dozen thick. green lily pads to- gether until they looked like q green floor. Then he said, Please hide in the bushes and keep very quiet" He waded out into the water carrying the big black poppy he had saved. Then he ducked his head under water, until all Santa and King Harald and the grandmother could see was the. big, black poppy sticking above the water, and the end of big, yellow straw
 Carl is breathing through that straw" whispered the King Now let's hide
 They hid that way for half an hour. Then there was a chatter ing sound in the garden. It was the little witch. She was very angry. and talking to herself. She tried every black poppy as she found it. But she couldn { sleep in any of them because their heads all hung over.
 Then she saw the last poppy She flew to it. stepped into the cup, twittering agreeably to her self, and curled up around the tstamens and went to sleep. ! Then Carrs head appeared above the water He snapped the ! poppy's stem. The little witch dumped out on a lily pad, and then Carl snapped the lilys stem The current of the river slowly moved the lily pad out into mid stream. The little witch stood up and screamed. But she floated out 1 of sight, and no one knows what became of her.
