Mr Baruch began with the statement tlial there wan no question regarding hw property, or that of any member of hia family, howeveir intimated tivc question might be, that he would not a newer; thai he wanted the committee to probe him until every rumor about him was exposed, or he was proved to have betrayed his trust a? head of the War Industries Board under President Wilson. Mr. Baruch swore that his fortune at the beginning of the war amounted to $9,800,000; that he divested himself, on becoming a public servant, of every dollar of his property that directly or indirectly was convcomed with war articles (of which there was a small proportion of the whole), except stock in a mine that he could not get rid of except by giviikg it away. He told the president of that, and luul the property segregated. It ultimately, brought him in $.'100,000, aiul he gave to war causes apjwoximately $500,000. Mr. Baruch thinks chat war profits should be abolished, and that the government has a bettor right to seize property for war purposes than it has to draft men. The committee sent the witness away with high compliments. South Carolinian's may be proud of the character of this South Carolina Jew. He illustrates the old time sense of honor that made South Carolina resj>eoted.?Newberry Observer. Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of the General Motors corporation, is calling on business and industry to take a fearless stand for sound methods leading to economic recovery. He declares: "I am convinced that the time has long since arrived when industry and business should examine what is being done." The rector of St. Michael's F.piscopal church at Charleston has resigned effective June 15. His resignation was requested three months ago by the vestry but he refused to leave then.
