' \I asked for a hearing In Washington because all the files relating to my work I are In Washington.\ Mr. Ryan told tho committee the outset. \At the sign ing of the armistice I resigned my posi- tion as director of the air service and Walked out my office with nothing but my hat. What I carry under my hat I will bo glad to give you. Hut It was only fair to me, I thought, to hare this Inquiry where I could have access to the files In cave I had to my memory I still think It was unfair to call me where my flies are not available. I am et a distinct disadvantage. \Now referring to the hearings held by your the Paclflo coast and what you had to 'say In the telegram sent to the Secretary of War by you. I want to say that I think It was an outfageous'and scandalous abuse of your Congressional privilege to send any eurh a telegram Inpugnlng the mo tlves of men who were doing their best ' t win the war, and make any such ennrges ana statements without first having given the accused men an oppo- rtunity to answer.\ Cite linker' Telegram. , Mr. Ryan's reference was to a tele gram In which the em bodied the gtt of their accusations to the effect that Mr. Ryan had used his position to advance the Interests of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail-toa- d, of which he Is a director, and had been Instrumental In negotiations lead- ing to tho construction of the 14,000,000 railroad In Washington, a railroad that the allege cost more than double the amount needed to build a more direct route tapping the northwest spruce reeervus. In of his denial of the charges Mr. Ryan read Into the record a tele- gram that Secretary of War Baker sent m reply'to the accusatory one. The Secretary of War's plyy the statements' had\ beert fully 'In- vestigated before and \ore wholly by the', facti.\. . -- 5) \In addition to this,\ continued 3Irl lb an; \grave Intimations and accusa- tions arc made against persons 'bflMia' ldgbect reputation whose services' to jthe country have been patriotic and upright, J cannot In detail cover the manifold errors your messages. I only hope Uiatlyour committee will afford a com- plete, and adequate opportunity for presentation of all the facts. Frankness leads me to express deep regret that the committee, not having heard nil the evidence. Is making Its suspicions a basis of widespread and unjust publicity.\ Expressing the opinion \a lot of soreheads who failed to get contracts have rushed In with a lot of testi- mony.\ Mr. Ryan then submitted to the questioning of Meier Stelnbrlnk. attor- ney for the committee. His first reply Tas to deny that he had any direct with the negotiations to )rach' the tlmberlands of spnjce; by a Government railroad. , Denies Jlnll Connection. \I told Mr. Baker that I could not widertake these negotiations In view of my connection with the Milwaukee. Sec- retary Baker assigned Assistant Stetttnlua to this undertaking. I ,had not even heard of the project until my appointment as director the Avia- tion Board, nor had I 'ever discussed the building of a railroad or the contract for the spruce.\ Mr. Stettlntus made the arrange- ments, Mr. Ryan continued, and as for himself he was In Europe during most of the period when tho project was carried out. Col. B. P. Dlsque. later a Brigadier-- General, was In direct charge of tho spruce division and of the contracts, he said, and was appointed prior' to Ma Ryan's assumption of duties. \I don't know who selected Dlsque,\ he said, \but whoever did, did a good Job.\ As to the alleged .excessive cost of the road Mr. Ryan said it was unfair to say It cost 14.000,000 for thirty-eig- ht miles because that cost Included every Item, such as terminals, sidetracks. &c. Just after the controversy arose and charges were made that the M, 000,000 line was built primarily for the Milwau- kee Mr. Ryan said he asked President Byram of the Milwaukee road about It and that Mr. Byram declared the Mi- lwaukee did not want that road and had never wanted such a road. \The preferred a far different line tapping their larger holdings,\ he pointed out. \and the 14,000,000 while skirting small holdings of the Milwau- kee, did not reach the larger tracts. \Col. Dlsque ordered the road built over the protest of Mr. Byram. Dlsque's decision was based on his belief that. It. was more feasible follow the route pf thirty-eig- miles because It could 'be built more easily, faster and without the same risk from the summer ruins. The .Milwaukee owns ten times as much .spruce on the line It wanted built as on the line that Dlsque ordered.\ The Congressional committee men (produced a map which to jshow and did show large Milwaukee MEN'S SHOE SHOP Brogue Boots n Heavy English Grain and Cordovan sV .

Mr. llyan Idokid but ft. moment on that map and then stigmatized It a a \campaign map,\ which emphasized minor and reflected major Items. \I do not wish to have my testimony based on that map,\ said. The witness testified that speed and production, rather ttwin expense, was the T tlior- - Company, who statistics labor, foment at and or genius of was .Awakened scandalous\ In at of refresh on Investigators support In that connection Secre- tory of line, to purported i paramount war policy, \Tho British nircrsrt omciais toia me tney wouia nave to havei 10,000,000 feet of spruce a month ut rtny cost or their entire air service was to be Imperilled.

Wo Increased our production Up to 23,000,000 feet .1 month awl\ then to tlio maximum Of S0.O00.000. \Ilemember we had to ship this across the country and to England and to Trance,\ he pointed out, \nhd we had to allow Tor ft shrinkage of 7,000.000 feet\ Mr. Stelnbrlnk endeavored to show that that was enough for 11,500 air- planes, 1,000 feet to each, and that no such number of airplanes was under construotlon. \Why leaving out Italy altogether England, Prance and the United States were turning out 18,000 planes n month,\ Mr. llyan asserted. When tho examination sought to probe Into why drafted men were used to build tho railroad In the northwest and why were paid 8 a day. Mr. iiyan sain woriters enouiu e on mo h\.o imem. Tou couldn't have men working shoulder to shoulder with such a difference In walre. And the whole point Is this: Yon couldn't supply soldier labor on soldlet pay to one contractor without supplying eoldler labor to every contractor.\ \Did you ever have any part In the financing of the railroad or the spruce contract?\ osked Mr. Stelnbrlnk. \I did not. Those orrangements were made by the War Credit Board,\ Mr. Ryan said. lie Defends Col. Dlnqnr. In explanation of why he recom- mended that Col. Dlsque be made a Brigadier-Genera- l, Mr. Ryan declared that \It was ridiculous to have a man In charge of an enterprise as extensive as spruce production with the rank of a Jolonel.\ Imputations that this wm part of Dlsque's reward for engineering things to the advantage of the Mil- waukee. Mr, Ryan said was shown to be false by records available In Wash- ington. He praised Col. Dlsque highly as one of the ablest executives he had encountered. Hie relations with the American-Internation- al Company, of which he Is a di- rector, Mr. Ryan explained at length, and said that had that firm been party to any of the financing scheme for the spruce project he would have had to cancel the contracts. The fact that Col. Dlsque Is now president of a subsidiary of that firm with a J30.000 salary does not have the significance which the com- mittee endeavored to establish, he said. \I had nothing to do with that,\ said Mr. Ryan, \other than telling the president of the American-Internation- that Dlsque wa an excerplonally capable man when I was asked for my opinion of him.\ When Mr.fitelnbrlnk quoted from the record a statement' purporting to have come from Col. Dlsque saying that Presl-- , dent Byram of tho Milwaukee wanted the J4.0O0.0OO road built, Mr. Ryan said: \That Is patently nn unintentional error of Col. Dlsque.\ The Milwaukee wis not Interested In that road, he rf MrTSTethTsrlnTf. skipping from topic to topic \In the search for tangible, evidence, asked If the (4,000,000 ropd was not harder to build than the shorter, cheaper one which the commit- tee Is alleging should have been con- structed. \The tunnels,\ remarked the lawyer. \Building tunnels )s slow but not hard,\ Mr. Ryan replied. Repreoentatlve W, W. Magee Inter- vened to criticise Col. Dlsque and said that officer was very unpopular among lumbermen. \I met hundreds and hun- dreds of lumbermen and not one slngl man hod anything but the highest pralre for Col. Dlsque,\ Mr. Ryan retorted. Later Mr. Magee asked If the Gov- ernment could not have produced plenty of spruce by organizing the producing mills In the West without building the lallroad, and again Mr. Ryan was em- phatic! In saying that tho mill production was then at maximum, under Govern- ment allocation, and yet Insufficient. Production \VV'ns the Issue. In explanation of what the aircraft administration accomplished. Mr. Ryan gave tacts nd figures not hitherto known publicly. \Wet could have fallen down on anything eta,\ he declared, \but had we failed in aviation It .would have meant the failure of all French and British aviation, I made arrange- ments at the urgent request of the French and British ministers of muni- tions whereby both countries were to pay for their share In the production. Let me say again that at that time pro- duction woa the Issue, cost was second-tr- y In importance. \They were going to us Liberty en- gines In every plane but the combat plane. The Liberty twelves had 100 more horsepower than the Rolls Royce engines. England was never able, un der the most favorable circumstances. io prouuee more man zdu jious jtoyco engines a week. We made 150 Liberty twelves a day. The Liberty motors were much better and cheaper to make. The Rolls Royce cost $15 horsepower, 'ine Liberty coat 10 a horsepower.\ Quoting all the statistics from mem- ory, Mr, Ryan continued: \First our contracts allowed 12 H per cent profit on these engines, or 25 per motor. When I took charge I mad a flat con- tract rate of 14,000 for each motor. which saved the Government 13,0OO,000 on Liberty motors alone.\ Lens than a month ago BecreUry of War Baker notified him, he said, that England and France had settled for their remaining bills In connection with this production as follows: For Liberty en- gines, England, 116,599,71?. and France, Jil, 272,250; for spruce, England, and France, 110.847,254 ; for wood distillate, England, $2,887,654. \They simply closed the books and ter- minated that obligation, Irrespective of profit to themselves,\ he said. Originally tho United States waa to build S.500 Liberty 12s for England and 6,000 for France, Mr, Ryan, stated. Then the contracts were Increased from 22,000 planes to a total of 49,600 at the time of tho armistice. When the questioners renewed an at- tack on the qualifications of Col. Dlsque Mr. Ryan was amused. \Remember 1 didn't select him,\ he said, \but ho was the best lumberman I ever saw, and I've handled more lumber contracts than anybody you know.\ Mr. Ryan sub- mitted a citation Issued by tha British Government In recognition of Col. Dlsque's capability as a lumber handler. \Maybo you'd like to have this In the record.\ Mr. Byan remarked, and then read the document \But tho dato?\ said Mr. Stelnbrlnk. Indicating that the cttJtlon was Issued after Col. Dlsque was attacked. Mr. Ryan waved a deprecatory hand. \Well surely I had nothing to do with the Is- suance of that rltatlon.'.' he said, and Mr. Stelnbrlnk quickly remarked that he did not mean to reflect upon the veracity of tho document. Defend. .Kerbangh Campaign. Considerable discussion centred upon the question of what Influence the Ker-bau- company had that enabled It to get the railroad and spruce contract. \As for the financial backing, the $S,S00,O0O, jou'll have to ask the Wai Credit Hoard,\ Mr. Ryan declared. \I had nothing to do with that In m opinion the Kerbaugh company got thr contract because It was tho only one with the courage to accept the iIk terms of the contract.\ Mr. Stelnbrlnk sought to show that the contract was a guarantee, but Mr. Ryan answered that contention by pointing toi clauses providing that failure to produce the large quantities of spruce specified meant cancellation of the contract and loss of the benefits. He said he was not aware that Pliny Flsk of Harvey Klsk & Sons was Interested In the financing of the contracts or that Mr. Flsk wa \frozen out\ until after the contracts were actually signed. No significance was attached to the fact that the contracts were signed within orty-elg- ht hours after Mr. Flsk wlth-3nj- he testified. \We were pressing th\ Kerbaugh company to the maxi- mum.\ It was at the end of the hearing that Mr, Jlyan 'surprised his jjueAlonera by quietly Informing them . that ha was aware that they had \sjtempted to have an accountant get a statement form Hay-de- n, Stone A Co. relating to Mr. Ryan's Accounts there. \Tou don't have to end anybody after my accounts,\ Mr. Ryan went on, \I'll furnish them gladly 'ml willingly If you want them. .Mr. Hayden, of\ course, objected to giving that Information,- - ut -- Itold. him I wanted It Understood \there was no on \my part.\ Mr. Stenlbrink and Mr. Magee hastened to ay that they had not directly tried to pry Into Mr. Ryan's personal affairs. \It wai the overzealousness of the they explained. \He was not told to ask, but he doubtless considered the Information material to his Investi- gations.\ e Concerning his owi appointment as an Assistant Secretary of War Mr. Ity.in estlfled during the hearing that he was not apprised of the honors to be con- ferred upon him until two or three days before his appointment was made pub- lic Former Ambassador to Germany James W.

For this, however, the Govern- ment was In no way responsible. ATraltlnsr Aotlon by IT. S. Mr. Chamberlain continued that wan not within the power of the British Gov ernment to remedy the Turkish situa- tion, which was an affair, Everybody knew tht ft settlement was being delayed, a decision by the United Btatco whether sho would undertake her part of tho white man's burden, and the of the of Turkey under League of Nations The Chancellor was opposed to a levy on capital, he said, because It would extravagance and hinder the Influx of foreign capital. It the Houso decided upon such a measure It need not expect him to carry It out, he declared. , A levy upon war profits stood Upon a different footing, but the difficulties of ' undertaking such a of taxation were immense and the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. The floating debt of the country on October 28, Mr. Chamberlain told the House, amounted to $6,430,000,000, He that next year, after pro- viding for tho abnormal aftermath of war expenditure, there be a sub- stantial balance on the year .to go toward tho reduction of the debt. Describing tho Uiitlnh loan In the United mates Mr. Chamberlain said the effect would be that the Govern- ment had secured 'n of an external debit In'o an luWrnal debt, which waa tantamount to placing na- tional war with .American In- vestors at a more favorable rate of exchange than was obtainable In the open market.
