pentagon Funds Used
On Ample Legal Basis,
Patterson Declares
Cites Provisions of
Appropriation Act
In Reply to EngeI

UndersecretarZ Of War Patterson
insisted yesterday that the War De-
partment had had ample authority
to use millions Of its emergency
funds to finish construction Of the
Pentagon on an expanded scale.
In reply to demands by Repre-
sentative Engel, Republican, Of
Michigan, that the spending OF
nearly $41, 900 900 of its emergency
funds on the project be justified,
Mr.. Patterson cited appropriation
acts to show why the department
had had mo question" as to the
propriety Of using such funds.
Mr. Engel claimed the War De-
partment had "flouted the will of
Congress" in wholesale fashion in
using emergency funds not spe-
cifically appropriated for the Pen
tagon, In financing that project as
it grew from a $35, 900, 900 to an
$86, ,000, 900 project.
Replies to Engel.
To the Engel protest that nearly
$4l 900 900 was diverted to the Pen
tagon from appropriations for "ex-
pediting production Of equipment
and supplies for national defense"
and for engineer service, Mr.. Pat
terson replied that the appropria-
ton act included provisions for
erection of structures, or for ac-
QUESTION of land"
Also citing a provision that such
tunds for "expediting production of
equipment and supplies" may be ex-
pended without securing the specific
approval Of the President, the War
Department official said:
Building Called Necessary"
1T would appear that the appro-
priation for expediting production in
the Act Of 1912 covers such a pur-
pose as the construction of the
Pentagon Building. The building is
necessary for the expeditions ac-
complishment of our production
effort, and the erection of struc-
lures is specifically authorized by
the act.
"The increase in the efficiency of
the procurement agencies of the
War Department, as result Of the
construction of the building, is a
purpose clearly within the purview
of the appropriation for 'expediting
production That increased eff
cheney was a controlling factor in
the decision to construct the build
ing is evidenced by the testimony
before the Appropriations Subcom-
mittees of the Senate and the House
and in the report by the House Ap-
preparations Committee on the First
Supplemental National Defense Ap-
preparation Act Of 1912.
The provision of centralized ex-
ecutive Office space for the War De-
partment to promote efficiency of
its procurement and production
activities is certainly as vital to the
expedition of production as is the
provision Of office space in a num-
tions plant or aircraft plant"

mislead the Germans and our
selves. The very fact that we de-
bate it, that cabinet officers are
said to be taking sides about it,
will place upon us the onus of a
catastrophe which will happen any
way because it is the direct con-
sequence of Germany's having pre-
pared for and lost two wars of
aggression.
What we have to discuss is how
we shall permit, and how we shall
assist, the Germans to redesign
and rebuild their economy. This is
the real problem of Allied policy.
For without permission d, al
most certainly, without economic
assistance, h e German economy
cannot be converted to civilian use.
If it is not successfully converted,
the German population will sink
to level of misery and disease
where it will be fearful menace
to the peace and the social health
-of mankind.
We shall have, therefore, to de-
eide among the Allies how Ger
mans are to be permitted to re-
fashion their economy, and how
we will assist the Germans who
offer plans we can approve. This
will be the main method by which
the Allies can control German
economy development over the
longer term, and can most surely
guide its development constructive
ly.
For let us bear in mind the core
of the matter: Germany is an in
dustrial economy geared radically
for war. Forbidden to prepare for
war, and its arsenals dismantled,
it must collapse and produce enor-
NOUS unemployment and misery
and so the question before the Al
lies is not how to add to the ruina-
ton of the ruin. 1t will be how the
Germans are to rise r o m the
ruins. This question will be before
us as soon as the occupation be-
gins, and it will become more pres
sing month after month. We shall
be without a policy if we waste
our energy new disputing over the
false premise that Germany will
be a going concern which, if we
want hard" peace, we shall
wreck, if we want a soft" peace,
we shall tolerate. For our real
problem will be what to do about
the economic wreck which post
Hitlerian Germany W l l certainly
be.

Ruin And Reco:str uction In Germany


out of this war will be still more
desperately unsuited to civilian
uses. 1t was unsuitable enough be-
fore Hitler, but now it has been
still more radically altered. Capt.
tai investment under Hitler h S
been according to the principle of
gums rather than butter" which
means that m lions of Germans
are employed in industries tn t
are wholly uneconomic in civilian
life and designed only for war.
This means not only the whole
German industrial plant devoted
to the air force, the submarine
force, to ordnance, and the like.
1t means also the industrial plant
devoted at great cost to making
Germany immune to blockade-the
plant devoted to such things as
synthetic rubber and synthetic fuel,
as well as the metallurgical plant
which in many brances will, be
altogether excessive for any civil
liam use. What we C all in this
country 'reconversion'' will in
Germany have to be radical re-
construction.
Under any conditions of peace,
the Germans face the gigantic
problem of Transforming their
economy so that it is capable Of
civilian use. If nothing were de-
manded of them but they may not
rearm, they would still find them
selves with an industrial system
which cannot provide enough em-
ployment to maintain an accept
able though low standard of life.
But of course, even this system,
unavoidable though it is, will be
enormously m ged by the
bombing, and now by the ground
fighting which will reduce to rub
BILE much of the transport, the cleo
trical power, and many of the chief
cities.
If this is a correct preview, and
l do not think it can be questioned
seriously, then we do not need to
debate how much more it is de-
sirable to ruin ruin. The, eco
nomic house which the Germans
inhabit is ruined and is unfit for
civilian occupancy, and will have
I to be. redesigned and rebuilt. By
debating whether we should ruin
| it further or let it alone, we shall
