 "He has either to swing his plant equipment and worlumen over to some kind of war work, say hand grenades or shut down and let his workmen go to some war factory, thus disrupting all the business and social life of the little town and creating a housing problem in the war town to which they go.
 "A general industrial staff would plan just how this manufacturers bathtub plant could best be used for war work"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.---A Gen eral Staff for Industry" to coordin- ate and direct along broad lines all American industrial and business ac- tivities, is urged by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States to de- feat the German centralized war ma- chine.
 No modern nation would attempt to conduct military operations without a general staff to plan it's great strate- egic movements far in advance and enlist all it's military strength. So, in the opinion of the Chamber of Commerce, an industrial general staff is needed to develop far into the fu- ture definite plans using every ounce of industrial strength of the country.
 "You will see this General Staff for Industry is needed at this very nom ent," declared Waddill Catchings, chairman of the committee for coop eration with the council of national defense, If you consider that one-fifth of the total industrial energy of the United States must be immediately turned to war work to carry out the program already laid down.
 "The nations annual business turn over is certainly not more than eighty billions, probably less, but the gov enment's war appropriations are al- ready more than nineteen billions. The diversion of labor for war purposes is even greater for in addition to those shifted to war work a million men have gone into the army and navy.
 "This means there must be whole sale reorganization of American in- dustly and commerce. It means in concrete terms that the energy, cap ital and labor, which in the past have gone into the making and selling of things not essential for the war and for civil efficiency, must be converted to war purposes.
 "We should have a general staff for Industry which can foresee these nec- essaIy changes far in advance and plan so that all existing equipments and plants shall be utilized and the workers retained in the communities where they have been living.
 "The character of industrial activ- ity must be completely altered to meet the war needs, but the industrial structure must be preserved as near ly intact as possible.
 "Let me give a honely illustration. Here is a man in Wisconsin manufac- turing bathtubs, almost a necessity in peace times but a nonessential in

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

There is much to be learned from the message of President Wilson delivered yesterday to the joint session of Congress- Plain in its language forciful in its de- mandS here is nothing that be understood by the American and the proGerman. President Wilson never mnces his words never beats around the bush but hits straight out and to the mark.
 We must declare war against AuStIia-Hmgary means just what the President infeIs and Congress will give him the authority There is something behind this declaration of war with Austria-Hmgary; something still unknown to the public. This demand comes as sud- denly did the demand for the declaration of against Germany The President knew weeks before the public did why be wanted war declared against Germany. At that tine there were all sorts of critics demanding the why's ard the fors but the President knew and after had been declared the public knew what it wanted and Americans decided the President was right President Wilson has always been right so in the conduct of the United States on foreign matters His present request will be granted and it is numated that a war declaration will be made possibly this week.
 "War against Austria although not her own mistress but German Vassa" There is meaning there, mean ing that Emperor Charles does not want that the people of Austria do not want war but they only German vaSsalS' or slaves, as it might be termed.
 Then again there is new meaning in another part of President Wilson's utteranceS When Germany recedes from the invaded region" and peace will come when rep alatiOn has been made for the destruction wrought two ideas that have been vague policy but abandonment pf invaded territory and reparation plainly set forth
 The message brief as was received in the press dis patches the Gateway indicates that the London Times says message to the people of the United States message to all the world"
