War Frauds in Dawes Speech on Government Contracts
Mr Dawes of Massachusetts, from the Committee of Investigation on Government Contracts, returns to expose wartime treasury abuses. He cites a cattle contract favored by insiders, noting inflated profits of around 59,000 above fair market price and a pattern of waste in subsistence and footwear orders. He laments delays in procurement while the army consumes supplies and mocks political factions celebrating such deals.
