BANKER SEES WAR NEED
Of ECONOMIC STRATEGY
A. c. Miller, Federal Reserve Board,
Says Financial and Industrial
Unity Must Be Reached.
By the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November g.
America to win the war must devise a
system Of economic, financial and in
dustrial strategy that will unite the
whole nation and its energies as ba-
sis for the armies in the field. A. C.
Miller of. the Federal Reserve Board
said today at the war finance confer
ence of the American Academy of Po-
utical and Social Science.
such a system will be as Infinitely
important as the strategy of military
force" he said. Nothing less than this
will suffice. And as yet all our patriot
ism has not carried US to the beginning
of this essential procedure. We must
direct our energies in new channels. We
must concentrate on the work we have
to do. Those who have not been ac-
customed to labor must work and pro-
duce. Those who have been producing
must produce more"
Mr.. Miller pointed out that at least
100000 men will have to labor in the
United States at the exclusive task OF
maintaining and equipping the military

'The gross earnings of the American
people total s50.000,000.0o0 annually,
and under present conditions $4,000
100000 or $4,000. 100000 of this is clear
profit, which. under an enlightened bor-
rowing system. might be enlisted for
the war" he said.

Sir Eric Cites Dangers.

Some of Sir Eric's remarks on the
subject follow: Before the Germans
Riga they deemed 1t necessary to oc-
cupy the islands commanding the en-
trance to the gulf. The islands which
command the entrance OF the Baltic
belong to a neutral power. Denmark.
Would it not be an act of madness for
the British feet to pass through into
the Baltic with the certainty that the
Germans would occupy and fortify
those islands In our rear?
'If we did pass through. should we
ind the German feet there on our ar
rival: The operation of passing
through would occupy q considerable
period Of time as. putting aside the
question Of the neutrality Of the Danish

Slight Rift Over Peace.

A slight rift in concord appears In
the platforms paragraph on the peace
policy in which. while asserting to the
reply to the Pope. it demands fuIi free. .
dom of action for the empire In the
field of foreign policy and that the
reichstag resolution of last July be nc

$425,OOO,OOO RAISED
HERE BY LOAN DRIVE
Estimates From Washington
Place Total $1O,OOO,OOO Above
Maximum Quota

Estimates made by officials place the
total subscriptions in the Philadelphia dis
trct to the second Liberty Loan at $425,-
0O0,O 900, more than $10,O00,000 above the
maximum quota set for the district. The
exact figures will not be announced until
next Thursday.
These estimates were made by officials
of the Treasury Department in Washington,
who have followed the campaign in detail
throughout the country. Local campaign
officials, less optimistic, placed the total at
between $3S0,000,000 and s415,000,000.
Philadelphia subscribed s190000,000,
which is considerably above its quota.
II the estimates telegraphed from wash
ington prove correct, then Philadelphia will
stand second among all cities of the coun-
try for having oversubscribed its allot-
ment by the greatest per cent. New York,
according to estimates, has raised $780,
100000 over its quota of $l,3O0,000, 900.
These figures would give New York first
honors in the race for the greatest per cent
of increase.
The Liberty Loan executive committee
issued a message of thanks and congratu-
lations to the district yesterday.

the Boy Scouts OF America, has written a
