Plans Are Believed Now Under Way
for Comprehensive Legislation
for National Guard.

The House committee on military at
fairs 10 expected to offer to the country
as the second line Of defense National
Guard organization scheme which will
come as close to completely federaliz-
hg the guard as any one could expect
undar rational and sensible reading of
the Constitution.
National guardsmen want their or
sani1ation developed to the full
strength and to the full efficiency, and
1T is probable that the first move in
that direction will be to write into
the military appropriation bill . para

guardsmen.

Other legislation which will make
the National Guard a really national
organization, with the elements Of state
organization minimised as far IS pos
sible. is also to be expected.
The republicans Of the committee and
OF the House. too, in almost . complete
measure, Will support bill giving the
National Guard the place in the public

serves. 1t Is the solid republican vote
which Is expected to Offset any defee-

Discussion of the Fixation

Mr.. Washburn said Germany had
spent 100000. 900 on her processes to
produce air nitrogen since the war he
san: 1t would cost the United States
~, oo0.ee0 to erect plants to supply two
thirds Of its needs, he added.
The commercial establishment Of the
industry in the country. he said. was so
great problem that private enterprise
unaided could not be looked to for the
developmnt of this vital element in any
preparedness program.

Suggests Two Methods.

Mr.. Washburn said there were two
ways in which the situation could be
met, government construction and op-
GRAFTON of its own nitric acid plant, or
government cooperation with private
enterprise to establish the industry
commercially.
In the latter event. he thought. the
government could supply power from
the dams it might erect in navigable
streams to private plants under agree
ment that the full capacity Of the
plants would be diverted to government
needs in time Of war at a predeter-
mined cost price of the product.
Either plan could be put into opera
ton in eighteen months, Mr.. Wash
burn said, but the original cost of the
cooperative scheme would be some
what greater.
Mr.. Washburn estimated that the de-
velopment Of the cynamid industry
would cut in half the present ferti-
lizer bill of the farmers. estimated at
s175,o0e.e zee year. Further than that
he said this reduction in price would
lead to far greater use of the product
and intensified agricultural production.

Locates Feasible Sites.

He said the feasible water power
sites for the project were on the Co.
lumbia river, Oregon, and at Mussel
shoals. Alabama. An expenditure of
$45.o00,0o0. he said. at the latter place
would furnish three times the present
peace consumption of explosives and a
third of the total fertilized. From his
long experience in Germany Mr.. Wash
burn was asked by Representative
Kahn il compulsory military service
tended to increase the efficiency Of the
German people in peaceful pursuits.

certainly tended to produce a higher
average of citizenship.
