The House Military Committee charged War Department officials with failing to protect government interests in Mercur Corporation operations at an $11 million Newark army base. From 1926 to 1933 the government received only 40 percent of net profits, with the Treasury getting just 8 in cash from total receipts of about $4.69 million. The committee noted Mercur kept most earnings, while the US government paid $45,000 cash into Mercur for storage and eight years of operations yielded over $4.3 million in receipts against about $3 million in expenses.
