Government Manufacture Mistaken
Policy
Policy
Iron The Washington Post.l

AT the very time when industrial CO.
operation with the government is con-
cedrd TO be necessary for national sc-
curity, two bills are being pressed
which discourage such cooperation by
making the government competitor.
One of these bills provide for n govern
ment arnor plant. and the other. the
House army bill provides for sort OF
partnership between the government
and a concern interested in the making
of cymamid.
These bills are pressed in the face OF
the unanimous report of the board OF
army officers appointed to investigate
the subject Of government manufacture
OF munitions. The board was composed
of the highest and most expert officers
Of the army, headed by Major General
Hugh l.. Scott. The report directs at
tention TO the development of private
munitions plants by reason of the war
in Europe, and suggests that some of
the plants may be kept going by reeeiv-
ing reasonable orders for war materlai
from the United States government.
This source of supply. says the
board, would be much more econo-
mical than government plants, which
would cost enormous sums If built
on an ADEQUATE scale for war needs.
If built for supplying the army on a
peace basis. the plants would be in
adequate.
Gen. Crozier, a member OF this
board. was questioned by the House
committee on military affairs on the
subject OF developing an ammunition
supply by the construction of hydro
electric plants for the manufacture OF
cyanamid. He testified that private
capital was ready to build such plants
as soon as the water power bill was
enacted He expressed the opinion
that If the government could not OBJ
tain its supplies in any other way. it
would be justified in building its own

power plant, but il would not he
an economical plan, nor would it be
wise TO do so when private capital
stood ready to augment the supply.
Gen. Crozier stated that the cost Of
a plant to meet wartime require
ments would be $20,000,000. He felt
that the government should not go to
this great expense unless private
capital could not be induced to de-
velop the business.
II the government should become
a partner of any particular concern
for the manufacture Of nitrogen, other
private concerns naturally would
keep out OF the business. The same
is true OF armor plate and all other
war material Instead Of stimulating
the nations industries and bringing
them into cooperation with the gov
ernment, the bills pending in Con-
gress tend to drive private capital
out of these fields. leaving the gov
ernment destitute OF war material ex-
cept such as it may manufacture it
self. at enormous expense. The worst
feature OF the case, however, is that
the government in time of war could
not suddenly expand its own plants
to meet the urgent needs of national
defense. It should be borne in mind
that it required more than a year for
the greatest manufacturing establish
ments in the United States to deliver
adequate supplies Of munitions to Eu-
ropean governments, and this was un-
der the most favorable circumstances,
with peace prevailing in this country
and no interruption Of business
Whenever the United States govern
ment attempts to usurp the field OF
industry and manufacture it makes a
mistake. both economically and po-
litically. II discourages private cap
ital and thus defeats the very ends
in view by curtailing production in
stead Of increasing it.
