ARMS INQUIRY.
BRITISH FINDINGS. Commission Opposed to Plan For Nationalisation. STRICTER CONTROL URGED. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, October 12. "The Times" says the report £>f the Royal Commission on Arms Manufacture is in the hands of the Government. It is understood it opposes nationalisation, pointing out that this would require special labour reserve. Also there would be a danger ~of bringing arms into the field of politics. The report suggests tliat the Government take full control of the munitionmaking business and also conscript capital immediately war breaks out. The commission does not feel that private manufacture has led to great abuse but proposes stricter control, including the appointment of a Minister to supervise contracts. A further suggestion is stricter control of exports to semi-civilised countries and measures to ensure that the Government is fully informed of new inventions offered to private manufacturers.
