RESOURCES OF AMERICA
NEED UNITED CONTROL
Northeiifrc Says Plan Must Ne Evolved
to Determine Urgency OF
Regulations.
ny LORD NOnTHCLIFEE.

PARIS, December 25.--The unity Of
control which ought TO result from the
allied war council is necessary on more
grounds than one. but particularly be-
cause 1t will permit the allies to use
to their fullest extent the generous
abundance Of resources which tho great
republic overseas places at their. dis
posal.
Tho Importance Of the intervention
OF the United States is as yet indistinct
and vague TO the eyes OF Europe. 1t
is so difficult to imagine what is going
on 5000 miles away.
An old Chinese proverb says. Better
to have seen once than to have heard
q thousand times"
Well, with my distinguished col
league. IL. Andre rard!eu, 1 have seen,
and although know the United States
TO tho bottom-it was the twentieth
time 1 had been there--never had I
expected to fnd in the great popula ton
OF the Far West equal In itself to tho
combined population Of England. Scot
land and Ircland-never had I dreamt
OF moro moving or more indescribable
enthusiasm. The sufferings OF France
and Belgium, the bombs thrown In Eng
land on the innocent women and chill.
dron, as we'll as the constant discovery
OF German treason and perfldy towards
tho United States, have created in the
giant republic such wrath and indiena-
ton as had no idea of.
have brought back from over there
the memory Of nothing but steel. cop
per, monster factories. gigantic har-
vests. cattle stocks and provisions:
leather. oil. limitless stores OF money.
and energy without bounds. And I am
convinced that unity of control is In
dispensable il we are to prevent tho
waste Of these immense resources.
Americans have said to me. III only
you people In Europe will reach An
agreement a TO your requests for what
Is necessary for you we will do any
thing in tho world for you and for the
cause
Take. for example, the Russians.
They asked. 30 the story goes. on ono
occasion for 1900 locomotive engines
enormous engines. designed specially
for the Russian railways, which are
bigger than ours-and 10000 good
trucks. four times bigger than ours.
STA shall have its engines and trucks"
The same day another ally asked for
condensed milk in such quantities that
tho price was Immediately forced up
everywhere, and the moro humble
American homes-there arc other peo-
Pile besides millionaires in the United
States-suffered.
Then tho question came up. These
engines and this condensed milk
were they really needed to win the
war;
AS I am neither a soldier nor an
economist. I cannot decide tho ques-
ton. But i know there are experts
on all the questions-military. financial,
economic and diplomatic-that the
Americans bring up. and the solutien n
OK which will come without doubt from

follow it,
Do we need men, transports, tonnage,
