REED BITTBRIiY ASSAILS THE
ADVISORY DEFENSE BODY

tiv 1 a. savs: The Council of Nation
al Defense was the storm center ini
the senate this afternoon- aenator
Reed of Missouri, Sherman of Illi
nois, McKellar of Tennessee and
Ken'yon of Iowa took turns in con
demning bitterly the alleged practices
of members of the Advisory Council
of the national council. The steel
price controversy, precipitated the at
tack. Senator Iteed opened the battle.
He declared, however, in opening it,
that "no man has any right at this
time to assail the motives of other
men unless there be some evidence
upon which to base the accusations."
After detailing the invitation ex
tended to certain business men by the
President to uct as members of the
advisory council, Reed said
"I say that no honest man will

Senator Chamberlain interrupted to
ask Reed if he did not think the
members of the advisory council
could act in that capacity without
doing violence to the proprieties.
Reed declared that thov mni,i
long as they acted merely in an ad
visory capacity, but said, "I do not
understand the President han in
tended for a moment to have these
men come and sit on their own
cases, their own contracts, their nwn
business, or to hold a position of
such a nature as to enable them to
exercise a controlling or notential
voice in the matter of their own con
tracts."
Reed declared to be an anomaly
the calling of Judge Gary, who is a
member of the subcommittee of the
defense council on steel, before Sec
retary Baker with regard to steel
prices, and then we find, he said,
"Judge Gary is insisting upon prices
which have been condemned by our
government as extortionate."
"Now of what value is that kind
of advice?" Reed continued. "How
much good is done the government
by men sitting to advise as to prices
who demand such prices for them
selves that the government declares
the prices to be extortionate and all
the world knows them to be extor
tionate for tlie prices of steel have
mounted to a degree that is abso
lutely appalling and scandalous."
Senator Sherman followed Reed
with the declaration that "if we tried
to do what they are doing we would
be impeached and imprisoned, in de
claring that they must not let con
tracts to their own firms we are re
moving them from temptation and
wrong construction of their acts."
