PRIVATE FACTORIES J.. -. =.
FOR u. S. MUNITIONS

No one can conceive of a govern
.ment, whether it be our own or any
other, which can, through taxation or
otherwise, construct and maintain in
time of peace plant which will be
qualified to turn out enough munitions
to supply the fighting line in time of
war. says Howard Z. Coffin, in Worlds
Work This means that even though
we have Government-owned plants
and the ideal thing would be to have
several of them scattered through the
Middle West-but even though We
have them to act as educational insti-
buttons and to act as clearing houses
for specifications and blueprints, in
the last equation, in any future war
in which this country is engaged, it
is going to be the privately owned
manufacturing plants of this country
which must feed the guns that will
save the nation. III. i
If we can have aforementioned
plants they will come in as assembl.
ing plants and as clearing houses for
tools and skilled NUM-
ton workers. But we must not over
look the fact that congressional action
toward the establishment OF Govern
plants may be on false
basis. As see it, one of the greatest
dangers of this country at the present
time is that through the passage by
the houses in washington of bills Gre
ating larger army, an increased navy
and a few munition plants, the coun-
try may sit down and fold its hands
and say, we are prepared" As
practical working out of Industrial or
for national defense; We
purpose to give the private plants
of this country small annual orders
for munitions.
