The present European war is being fought on the farms and in the factories as much as in the trenches. The effective mobilization of our in dustrial resources is IS i'm portant sim ply from the standpoint of war, as the I mobilization of our military and naval forces.
 Tt is equally important that action should be. taken now. rather than af- ter war is a reality.
 ''An attempt is made in the sue ceeding pages of the report to sug- gestt some of the measures which should be adopted, with full realiza- tion, however, that no action will be effective which does not come through an understanding by the American people of the essential facts regard ing industrial conditions. Practically however, there are only two a1terna- lives for effective action, first, the creation Of a huge system of bureau cratic paterna lisrn such as has been developed in Germany; or action which will remove the many existing obstacles which prevent effective or ganization and. cooperation, reserv-. ing for performance by the govern
