We went no further than to submit some salient facts to the Hughes Committee, but any good lawyer can take our report and the testimony before the committee and note how they point to violations of the law." With the record of testimony compiled by the Senate Committee as a guide the Hughes investigation of wrong doing naturally groups itself under four -questions: 1. lias .omc-y been paid to certain 0 THE HORRY HEBAM OX FROM HC Drawn by Utuir \\ i Americans during our first yea ipments abroad for our fighting . short crop?-amounted to 154,90 sed our meat and fat shipments our army ahxpad and the civili Government agents who have handled matters connected with the aircraft program for orders given or! ntracts recommended ? :l.
