General Crozier 6 9 70 THE E. I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS POWDER Co. and Admiral Mason, chiefs of the ordnance bureaus of the army and navy, were present, "lending to the hearing a dignity and impressiveness quite out of the ordinary"; and these eminent authorities, before Col. Buckner left the stand, "informed the com...mittee that all the statements he made were verified by the rec- ords of the respective bureaus. " Under such conditions, when the naval bill came up in the House in the session of which the Con- gressman was speaking, the very members who had caused the storm the previous year admitted that the results of the hearings were sufficient to restrain them from insisting upon the restrictions on powder pur- chases for which they had made a demand in the previous session. "It might be truthfully said, " added this Congress- man, "that the dependence of the Government on the du Fonts, who have made practically all the powder shot in this country's wars for more than one hundred years, was emphasized to such a degree by the information secured in the hearings as to place that concern in the attitude of a quasi-governmental position.
