BURDENS OF WAR.
EQUALISATION SCHEME EXAMINED. United Press Association—By Electrla Telegraph—Copyright WASHINGTON, March 5. A Commission composed of Members of the Cabinet, Senate and House met to-day to work out a plan for equalising the burdens of the next war. The Secretary (Mr Hurley, chairman of the committee created by Congress), announced that one purpose would be to »~~yelop the policies by which the economic burdens of war will fall with equal weight on every element of citizenship. He said the Commission would seek the reasons why in the Government’s efforts to supply the needs in all past wars, opportunity had been presented to some individuals to reap extraordinary financial profit, while others had been called upon to bear more than their proportionate share of burdens. He said the Commission was forbidden, under its authorising resolution, from considering the conscription of labour.
