_ annual statement, which contains every item
PANAMA CANAL TOLLS, 445
The CuamrMan. About how much did the foundation expend last —
year ?
Mr. Scorr. I submitted all those statements, Mr. Chairman, but
I do not carry them around with me. It was considerably less than
$500,000.
The CiAmrMAN. By considerably less, how much do you mean?
Mr. Scorr. I should think, subject to correction, that-probably the
amount circulated or used last year was about $450,000. I can give
you the exact figures later.
The CuArrMAN. Do the records in your office show how that amount
was expended in detail ?
Mr. Scorr. Yes.
The Carman. Including the names of persons who received
amounts, large and small?
Mr. Scorr. Generally. In the examination which you will find
here [indicating], Mr. Chairman, Senator Walsh took up the last
The CuarrmMANn. Does that statement give the name of every per-
son who received any part of the money expended during the year |
in question out of this $500,000 ?
Mr. Scorr. It did in general, and where it did not give the specific
name Senator Walsh asked for a report, for an indication, and it was
supplied in most instances, and where it was not supplied I made a
note of it and sent the committee the document giving all the infor-
‘mation.
The CuarrMan. Do you say that included in the hearings before
the so-called lobby committee, as published, we will find the name
of every individual who received any part of the $500,000 in any
one year?
Mr. Scorr. No; not every name. That is a long transaction.
The CuarmMan. You can prepare that, can you?
Senator Watsu. Senator O’Gorman, let me remark that the testi-
mony discloses that these funds were distributed around among
these various organizations. For instance, $31,000 went to. the
American Peace Society. That American Peace Socicty, the testi-
mony discloses, made a report to the Carnegie Endowment Fund,
showing what disposition they had made of that.
The Crramman. In detail ?
Senator Watsu.. They were requested to furnish that. In the
documents submitted in answer to that request I do not find any
reference to the names of parties who got any. portion of that. The
American Peace Society gives a report appearing at page 4805, from
which it appears that it distributed $15,000 of that among subordi-
nate peace socicties, and that $11,000 ;
The CirairMAN. Is there any report from the subordinate peace
socicties ? a
Senator Watsu. There are reports from separate peace socicties.
The amounts expended by them cover salaries, office rent, and so
forth.
The Curarrman. Are the names mentioned there of the persons who
receive the salaries ?
Senator Warsi. No names are mentioned at all. ;
The CrarrmMan. Can you prepare a statement, Mr. Scott, furnish-
ing the information I suggested a moment ago, showing in detail who
