Mr. Macdonnld, as shown by the v. found very few supporters. Ceo James Wardle, in behalf of the I.i, party, d'elined to have anything to with this pacifist resolution.

So far as the Allies were concerned the best hope of peace, he said, was a frank and open statement of the objects for which they were fighting, and as a means to that end he welcomed the fulle-t us'e of all opportunities for an interchange of views between repr?sen? t?t iv. s of the great democracies. It roul.l not be too clearly stated that this was a matter for the peoples, ra? ttier than the governments.

Party Opposes Mann's Fight For War Board Republicans Declare Against Further Delay to Food Bill Washington, July 24?.?While Senate and House conferrees were beginning their work to-dav on the loag-dolnyod Food Control bill sentiment among lie publicans crystallized ngainst further delaying enactment by continuing Re? publican Leader Mann's fight for crca itiort of a joint Congressional commit ! tee on war expenditures. At an Informal conference of Re? publican representative? it was made clear to Mr. Mann, according to those present, that no partisan tight on the question at this time could command the support of the party's representa? tion in the House. Former Speaker Cannon and Repre? sentative Miller, of Minnesota, made the principal pleas against the party leader's course, and although no vote was taken the general agilement after ?he meeting was that the tight for the War Committee amendment would not be pushed. hope of getting the measure through conference and ready for President \\ ilson's signature next week waa brightened somewhat by tht develop? ment, but the leaden pointed out that even with agitation for the war com? mittee nmendmenl lilenced in the House, the Senate remained on record ai favoring it, and a tight there still was possible.

Prompt action was promised by most of the conferrees, some predicting agreement by to-morrow night.

Frank A. ?Scott To Be Head of War Industries Secretary Baker Dominates Organization of New Board Voice Is Given To Union Labor Baruch Sidetracked for Chairmanship; Gompers ( May Be Member By C. W. GILBERT Washington, July 26. Frank Scott, chairman of the General Munitions Board, will be chairman of the War Industries Board, whose membership will probably be announced either after | the meeting of the Council of National j Defence to-day or for publication on Monday morning. Mr. Bamch, who was expected to he the head of this organization, will be a member of it, in charge of war purchase?. Labor will be ropresented on this board, probably in the person of Mr. fl?SpSH. This will be the first recog? nition of organized labor in any way corresponding in importance with the appointment of labor members to the British War Cabinet. The new War Industries Board will not correspond in importance to the British War Cabinet, ' but it will be the most important body : for purely war purposes which this ', country will possess, until war forces B8SBS new centralization of power, and ! labor will have representation upon it. The form which this war organiza? tion will take is largely the work of the I Secretary of War. Newton D. Baker. It is apparently Mr. Baker who In the last few days has sidetracked Mr. Baruch ?s the prospective head ef this most im ' portant war organization and has I caused the appointment of his fellow ; townsman. Frank .Scott, to the post. Baker Is Dominating Figure Mr. Baker is the dominating figure in the organization for war here now. He I dominated the Council of National De ? fence and he has dominated its reor t aanltati-on. His plan has largely pre ! vailed. His emergence is dramatic, al ' most romantic, in appearance, but it Is easy to explain. In a board where one man has a pood mind, perhaps th' best mind, and where he controls practically all the money to he spent, he is inevitably the boss. That las been the situation in the Council of National Defence. The only men in it with real power, with real money to spend, have been the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy. And of ?these Mr. Baker had far and away the ' best brains and far and away the most money to spend. He was the boss. He ruled the Council of National Defence i and has ruled it?s reorganization. So far as there is a war organization ! in Washington to-dBy it is largely Mr. Baker. And to this not only his rela? tive capacity and his control of money, hut also his personal influence with the President have contributed. He is closer 'o the President than any other Cabinet member, except Mr. McAdoo, the Presi daat'S son-in-law. Mr. Baker's quick, leen mental operation? are a source of delic-ht to the President. Moreover there is genuine affection existing be twttfl the two. All of these things to? gether make a very powerful man. And Mr. Baker is a powerful man. Rosenwald May Be Member Besides Mr. Scott and Mr. Baruch and a labor man, probably Mr. Gompers, the expectation is that Julius Rosenwald will he a member of the new War In ilustrtes Boanl, which will combine such creative work as the General Munitions Board and Mr Rosenwald's supply com? mittee have been doing with the work of purchasing for this nation and for ' the Allies. Thus the scope of the board has been enlarged in accordance with Mr. Bak ei'i ideas. With It will be appointed a committee on priority, which will pas* on questions of priority between the government and the public and probably between different members of the public itself when the plan of a ?ingle price for every one government. Allies and public alike goes into effect. In these boards there will be a repre? sentative of the army and navy and representatives of the business world whose names have not yet been dis? closed. The War Industrie? Board and its correlated priority board will be un ? der the Council of National Defence, because Mr. Baker so advised. Secre ? tary McAdoo urged that they be made independent of the council. j The argument was advanced that be 1 cruse the Council of National Defence j had no power, being purely advisory in j its function, it would be difficult to I give powers to the War Industrie* Board and the priority board if placed under if. This situation is to be met by having the Secretary of War, the I Secretary of the Navy and the Ship 1 ping Board delegate the powers to pur ' chase and to commandeer, which they i posses?, to the new boards. Boards with Vast Powers Thus you will have the anomaly of I boards with vast powers, ?pending Dill ions?delegated powers, it is true, but I none the less vast?acting under a body without powers, a purely ad ! vi.iory council. But that is the way it i? to be. It is not clear just how pewers to determine priority between individual business men will be placed in the hand? of the priority board' 'without action by ?cngres? Perhaps th?y, too, may be found under th? broad commandeering power? which | the Pre?id?nt ?nd the Secretarle? sf War ?nd Navy po????j. New Budget For War Nears Ten Billions War Department Estimates ail for $5,278, 636,000 $2,000,000,000 More Needed for Loans House Memb-rs Propose In? crease in Tax Bill to $2,225,000,000 Washington, July 2"*.?The new war i budget to carry the government through to next July and to cover additional credits to the Allies prom? ises now to far exceed eight billion dollars and may mount to ten billions. War Department estimates sent to (*ongress to-day call for new appropria? tions of t*SjnjB9B,l 00 for that branch of the military establishment alone. Estimates totalling another $1,non,non,, non or more are expected to-morrow when the other departments report i their needs, and in addition Secretary McAdoo has indicated mat before the year is out Congress will be asked for a ?2,oon.non,iin.| appropriation to in traatt the fund available for ' inns abroad. The g.-eatest item in the est .lates is that of $'.',4?>8.i"l'!,0no, for "armament of fortifications.'' This represent? virtually half of the total asked for; war expenditures, revealing that the I War Department plans to mane the ? countiy's coasts as safe as p? ? sinle ' from attack. Favor Tax Increase How much of the new war expenses should be raised by taxation and how ? much by bonds or Treasury indebted? ness certificates is a warmly debated question. Secretary McAdoo may ad? vise personally with the House Finance Committee on the subject. Committee sentiment to-night seemed to be in favor of increasing the Jl.f^ii.tsnn.noo war tax bill only to about tf.000,000, nno, with authorization both for a new bond issue, possib'y at a higher in 1 terest rato and in serial form, und for ? issuance of Treasury certificates of in I debtedness. Secretary McAdoo is said to favor ? ! much larger levv of taxes, and a few committeemen favor increasing the bill's total by $1,000,000.000, or at lea?t to $2,2'*5,000,000. May Increase Interest Whether the interest rate on the new bonds shall be increased also is causing much discussion. Some committee ! leaders fear it may be necessary to is ? sue 4 per cent securities. The law provides that if bonds sub? sequently issued shall bear a higher rate, the first issue also shall bear th? increased rate. There is a strong sen? timent that the new bond? shall be in serial form instead of running for twenty years. Ai to the ??urces of the new taxes sentiment in the committee apparently ?Is tending toward securing the bulk I of the increase from war excess profits and incomes. Excises or consumption ! taxes an.l a few other minor new levies also are being consiilered. Several War Department officials will appear to-morrow before the .Finance Committee to explain their new esti? mates. Chairman Simmons said to? night that while the present year's ap? propriations already total $9,22fi,000, 000, it is estimated that only about $5,000,000.000 of that will be spent dur? ing the fiscal vear, or before June SO, 1918. Estimated deficiencies of $5.917,878, 347.91-1 in War Department funds were ! shown to-dnv m the communication received by the Hou-e from the Sec? retary of the Treasury.
