PREPAREDNESS ISCO-ORDINATION
 CHENEY SAYS
Head of Silk Manufacturers
 Talks to National Salesmen.

Preparedness consists not only in enrolling men and collecting ammuni- ton but in the co-ordinating the affairs of the whole country said Charles Che ney, of Cheney Bros, and also presi- dent of the Silk Association of Ameri- ca, who was a speakef Monday night at the dinner of the Silk Travellers As sociation at the Aldine Club. He told the salesmen present that there was danger in the present prosperity of the industry and that they must be prepa- red for different conditions when the war was over. MT. Cheney said no one knows what is going to happen when the war is over, but many have dreads. Are we going to be flooded g he asked, with merchandise from abroad.
 That is the only thing that they, the nations at war, can pay their debts with. and they will have to sell it where they can get the money for it.
 We must have protection, and real protection against the dangers of the future.
 Business is difficult MT. Cheney continued, because it is booming. It is hard to regulate the tide because it is swift. I fear we are setting a pace that we cannot follow hereafter. It is easy to cut down hours and in crease wages, but the anxious time is to come later. It behooves every one to keep his head, for there is danger of being swept off our feet by pros perity. Prosperity is more dangerous than diversity. I do not know what will happen when the war is over, and I am frank to say that dread the fu- ture.''
 Speaking of preparedness, MT. Che ney said he hoped it would come out all right, but he had his doubts. The demonstration in New York on Satur- day, he said was fine thing, but he questioned it's permanent effect.
 First of aI,'' he continued, Eve must prepare and safeguard the pros perity of the years to come.'' am saying this to you as a band of mission aries. you who go, out the length and breadth of the land. You offer us a ready channel of spreading through the land the messages we have.''
