Divided Opinion

PHILADELPHIA, Nov "A general division of. opinion on the question of whether American industries should be re organized under government aus pices to concentrate it's full energy up- on the production of war material or whether heavy taxes be levied to meet the costs of the war under the existing system of industrial individualism fea- turned the sessions here today of the war finance meeting of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.
 Congressman John J. Fitzgerald, chairman of the appropriations com mittee, predicted a period of unex- ampled taxation. which he said would be necessary rather than loans to meet the costs of war.
 Mortimer L. Schiff, of New York. presenting thes conservative bankers view said there must be no hampering of enterprise by unwise or unjust tax ation.
 The public must not be discouraged and values must not be jeopardized by an unfriendly attitude by the govern ment toward business" he said
 MT. Schiff said the government must monopolize the investment market if necessary. The government. he said. is entitled to have it's money require ments supplied before, and, if need he. to the exclusion of private enterprises or even of states or municipalities.
 Last, and most important, the people must be taught to save and all unnec- essary expenditures must be avoided Thrift and economy must prevail.
 Dr. H. C. Adams, of the U-mversftv of Michigan, and Frank A. Vanderlip of New York. urged the necessity of :i new, socialized era of industry in which the vast energies of the nation should be directed primarily to the purposes of the war, without the waste of competition.
 In summarizing the trend of theory that forecast new standards in Ameri- can life MT. Vanderlip said: No man. no matter how great his pretentions, can be considered patriotic when he employs labor at non- essentials to an extent that makes him a competitor of the government. in the present crisis Business must be re-organized. with the immense needs of the nation as it first aim and thought"
 Edwin R. A. Seligman of Columbia University said government loans are indispensable to sound war finance but to attempt to finance war exclusively through loans was short sighted. And, he aded, "to attempt to finance (Continued on Page TWo)

WASHINGTON, Nov. ,. Premier Kerensky's statement that America most effective help to Russ.. would be the sending of money was regarded here as possibly forecasting formal re oueSt for the transportation of gold to Russia, but it avs thought moro likely that what the premier had in mind was the establishment of credits to be extended here in the purchase of sup plies for Russia.
 Have her send boots the premier was quoted as saying in response to a question as to how America coHld help best. Heather, iron, and with em- l phasis money"
 The sending of actual money out of i the country to any of the allies would establish a precedent and would be dia- metrically opposite to the American governments present policy, which aims at the conservation of the huge store of gold piled up since the war started. As means of making such conservation effective, gold was placed, ] by presidential proclamation, on the list of commodities which must be licensed for export and the federal reserve board, under Secretary McAdoo's sup ervision, anonunced a policy of hold iiiS Sptu eApoftS 10 tue minimum.
 The American government appar- ently, is entirely willing to grant furth- i CT requests for credits. It has granted 1 Russia's requests with alacrity and 1 Secretary McAdoo has announced re- | peatedly that the treasury would place ] money wherever it would be most ef- l feetive in fighting Germany. Until to- l day Russia had not expended the first
 of three credits established for her ben eft in this country, totalling S325, ,000,- 1 900. The formal transfer today to Rus
 sian account of S31,700,005 from the i treasury to the federal reserve bank of l New York brought the total she had
 withdrawn up to s190, 000, or S15,
 100000 more than the first credit of
 s175,000,00.
 There still remains available for Rus sian expenditures s134, 100000 without
 the authorization of another credit and | there is every indication that if an i other credit were needed it would be

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-Conscrlp- tion of industries to supply the needs of the army was discussed today by the war industries board with automo- bile and accessories manufacturers who pledged their full cooperation to the government in whatever is necessary to win the war.
 The plan is to divert a part of each plant to the production of war ma terial. It was arranged to have the manufacturers represented in the na- tional automobile chamber of com merce and the motor and accesories manufacturers appoint a committee to work with the automobile products sec tion of the war industries board in planning how the big automobile fac tories of the country can be of the greatest service.
 Todays conference is the first of many to be held with makers of nol essentials as the progress of the war make greater demands on the coun- trys resources.
