ucts, clothing. arms. ships and other
material necessary to equip armies and
navies for effective warfare. He pointed
out that much of Germany's success
could be attributed to preparedness
along the lines indicated.
Mr.. Baruch argued that such an or
ganization is just as esseptial In the
Ing OF soldiers and the "manoeuvring OF
war ships. He expressed the hope that
the plan would be Incorporated In the
Presidents military programme.
Business Men Fa IL.
1t is known that business men gen
orally are In harmony with the ideas
advanced by Mr.. Baruch. Some weeks
ago when the relations of the United
states with Germany seemed to be at
the breaking point n delegation of steel
men from Pennsylvania came to Wash
ington to inform the President that
their plants would be placed at the
disposal Of the Government In the event
OF war. Like profers have come from
other sections OF the country. MIR.
Bsruch told the President that the busl-
ness men Of the United States favored
a programme Of preparedness and that
they were ready at a moments notice TO
organize for any possible
Officials OF the Wal and Navy De-
partments were very much interested
in the plan proposed by Mr.. Baruch.
They were not disposed to make public
comment on 1t IN the absence OF II state
ment on the subject at the White House.
Privately they Endorsed the plan as ex-
tremely practical and one that would
undoubtedly be embodied In the pro-
gramme of preparedness 10 being for
mulated by the President
IL is understood that some OF the
ideas communicated to the President to-
day by Mr.. Baruch will be conveyed to
the proper officials OF the War and
Navy Departments with instructions
that they act accordingly.
Mr.. Baruch got "A cordial reception
At the White House This is his first
call there since MIR. Wilson became
President. After his visit to the White
House Mr.. Baruch had a brief confer
ence with Secretary OF the Treasury
McAdoo. 1t is understood that the H.
nancial situation with particular refer
ence to cotton conditions IN the South
was under consideration.
II will be recalled that Mr.. Baruch
made a large contribution to the cot
ton fund that was subscribed some
months & to relieve conditions In the
South Mr.. Baruch returned to New
York late this afternoon.

the direction of President Wilson

pointment OF a commission of business
men TO mobilize" me business
of the United States In such a way as to
make these forces effective in the event
OF a lie pointed out that in prepar-
ing for war Germany organized her
business and Industrial resources, and
that this work swas placed on a pal by
Germany with the training of soldiers
for service in the field and the manufac-
ture of munitions to equip her armies.
He strongly urged that the United
States should not overlook this phase
of preparedness when the time comes TO
lay down a progressive policy In the de-
velopment OF the army and navy OF this
country.
1t is understood that Mr.. Baruch'. ar
sulltlt dloHB THESE lines made a strong

Navy Department by Secretary Daniels.
He recalled hat Secretary Daniels
mad decided to create al advisory board,
composed of such men as Thomas A,

weapons OF warfare. II was the duty
OF the Government. he said, to create
a commission Of business men who

had In mind. He suggested that in
case OF an emergency the Government
should be In "A position to utilize the SER
