ONE MAN MAY HANDLE F
TEN BILLION DOLLARS
Plant Completed for Purchasing of 1
Allies' Supplies During the
War.
Washington, May 23.?Plans for
an allied purchasing board are being 1
drawn to include purchases for the i
American army and navy, estimated J
at approximately $3,500,000,000 for j
the first year ol war. xne pian as i
tentatively outlined, would place a
purchasing power of approximately 1
$10,000,000,000 a year in the hands i
of a single commission. i
Indications are that this tremen- <
! ' i 1
dous purchasing power will be vested
in one man who will have under his i
command an army of trained experts j
-familiar with all American markets.
The program has progressed to a i
stage where officials have in mind i
the man for the place. I
Determination to include the needs ]
of the American army and navy in i
the centralized purchasing board has 1
virtually been agreed upon and the i
numerous details are in process of
formulation. It is understood that \
the program calls for purchase of j
arms, equipment, munitions and all 1
material used in the physical waging 1
of war by experts of the navy and 1
war departments, rather than by civ- 1
ilians, and that these experts will be 1
guided in their activities by the
wishes of the secretaries ox me navy i
and war, subject, however, to the ap- '
< proval finally of the commission.
All the allies will be included in l
the scope of the commissions, includ- <
ing Japan. The international agree- i
ment to make the program effective t
has not yet been concluded, but 1
probably will be ready soon for the c
signatures of the various ambassa- j
dors. j
New legislation may be sought to c
vest the commission with powers not 1
conferred by present laws.
