Mr. Alfas made an excellent talk and apparently made a very good impression on the committee. DISCI'S STSTBM TS DETAIL. Congressman Pepper discussed the Taylor system in great detail, but contended that the main question before the committee at this time was not as to whether the system was good or bad, but as to whether con-gress should investigate it.

"All my resolution asks for," said Mr. Pepper, "is the facts. Congress can then decide whether It is such a system that it would be willing to have Inaugurated in government arsenals."
