THE SPRUCE INVESTIGATION
the “I told you so's" will probably become exceedingly busy damning the
nd min 1st ration for the graft anil corruption they conclude such revelations dls
To the unthinking fraternity any indication of misapplication of public
funds is invariably associated with the idea that someone lias been filching
Vet. when wo tome right down t.. hard facts, misapplication and
enterprises involving vast constructive activities and the expenditure of
millions. It. is all very well to say that this should not apply to govern
ment activities and that it indicates this or that "wrung" with the govern
ment methods. The truth of the matter is that not even the most penetrat
inp foresight can dlvise ways and means to prevent it. The same thing
as has been revealed in connection with the spruce investigation can probably
a- tivitics. Anil in a lessor degree it e .n be found in the operation of nil
extent with many government activities. The tendency to graft is too
cases. Kspceially in connection with such manifold activities as pertain
•o the business of war. it is practically impossible to guard against the
blent enterprises. <>nly by changing the nature of humanity can the in
i'! von Germany, with all lu r red tape regulations and s i called "elUc
timo expenditures are no less piomlnent news features In the French Journals
In every great enterprise involving vast activities and immense ex
to suggest, at least at the onset of investigation activities, that some one has
funds in its operations, especially if it happens that their activities are of a
constructive character, and handled through numerous departments and by
many persons. Vet we find that in most eases they merely charge their
loss up to bad judgement and forget it.
The govern is no less liable to these same errors of judgement
than a private firm. In branching out into now and hitherto untried en
terprises. such as the spruce production and other war time activities, the
some of which may be of an exceedingly costly character.
Their revelation does not necessarily imply graft any more than the want
ing of a dollar by an individual implies that he is a spendthrift.
