With the investigating committees
report attacking construction meth
ods, the republican majority present
ed a resolution directing that evi
dence obtained during the nine
months investigation be turned over
to' the attorney general with the 're
quest that he institute criminal and
civil proceedings. The democrats
countered with a substitute resolu
tion proposing to Instruct the com
mittee to name persons, firms and
Corporations "which should be In
vestigated," before directing the at
torney general to proceed.
When the house quit tonight, de
bate had not ended. The principal
speeches were made by Representa
tive Doremus. democrat. Michigan,
author of the minority statement.
and Representative McCullough. re
publican. Ohio, signing the majority
statement. .
Representative WcCullough de
clared the cry "We won the war"
had been made to cover many sins,
while Representative Doremus as
serted that "ir the supreme architect
of the universe had built these camps
the bleacher managers would have
found fault with the job"
To the republican claim that the
government lost $78,531,521 on six
teen national army cantonments
through waste and was entitled to
recover damages, the democratic
member said if his computation was
correct, he figured he bad squeezed
$85,000,000 water out of "pretended
claims to recovery-"
Mr. Cullough said It was not with
in, the province nor the duty of the
committee to prosecute crime or In
dict criminals.
V'The report of the majority con-
tafps" facts and evidences," he de
clared, "and the record of the testi
mony taken in connection with the
construction of Camp Sherman at
Chillicothe, Ohio, and Camp Grant
at Rock ford. Ills., contains evidence
of which the department of justice
should conduct grand jury Investi
gations." ; . V'.
No attempt was made to save mon
ey, he said, adding: "Ton are pay
ing, your - children ' and your chil
dren's children for generations to
come will pay and continue to pay
for the cost-plus system. Let as
hope that never again will such a
reprehensible system be put Into op
eration." '
Representative Doremus said that
the stress of war justified "abandon
ing peace time methods of construc
tion." "Indeed," he declared. "If Secre
tary Baker had attempted to build
the camps by the competitive system,
lie would have been guilty of the
grossest incompetence and merited
removal' from office." .
After nine months Investigation,
with
conditions precipitated by congress
were credited to ray 'desertion.'
"I am sirk and tired of this long
distance lying." he said. "Your re
commendation to the attorney gen
eral to bring action against me Is
buncombe and you know It. A bet
ter and quicker way Is to have me
appear before your committee, or
any other Mnate committee, and
make full answer to this official
bulletin charge.
"Ever since the armistice it has
been your steadfast attempt to
shame the American war record and
besmirch every man connected with
that record. To date, these congres
sional investigations have cost $2.
000.000. bitt failure to develop a
single instance of graft 'still forces
your group to rely upon the activi
ties of individual liars."
