BURDENS OF NEXT WAR
EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION CONGRESS LOOKING AHEAD PROFITEER ING PR EVENT!ON. (United Prea Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) Received 2.15 p.m to-day. WASHINGTON, March 5.
A commission composed of members of the Cabinet, the Senate and the House of Representatives met to-day to work out a plan for equalising the burdens of the next war. The chairman of the committee created by Congress announced that one purpose would be to develop policies by which the economic burdens of war will fall with equal weight on every avenue of citizenship. He said the commission would seek the reasons why, in the Governments’ efforts to supply needs in all past wars, opportunity had been presented to some individuals to reap extraordinary profits, while others were called upon to bear more than their proportionate share of the burdens. He said the commission was forbidden under its authorising resolution from considering the conscription of labour.
