MARITIME CONTROL OF
BUSINESS.

Fear OF the effects Of wartime
control NJ business by the government
Is not shared by such an institution as
the National City Bank Of New York.
On HI contrary. II points out that il
Is only By the mobilization OF BUSH
ness under strict government regula-
ton that We may hope TO effect that
tremendous expansion Of output
which the war has made Imperative.
For proof % this the City Bank calls
attention 10 what has been accom-
plished by Great Britain. which. de-
spite the draft OF a remarkably hiRh
proportion OF is working forces, the
necessity Of importing nearly all its
raw materials and the collapse Of
the machinery OF international credits
and exchange. has enormously in
creased It's Industrial output and has
been as,onishingly successful in main
tanning its foreign trade.
This has been DONE declares the
City Bank. "by means OF n progress
i've government control that has now
reached n degree OF direct touch

fairs that, In August. 1914, almost any
EnglIshman would have refused 10
consider as n possibility. England is

trolled workshop. Its railroads. It's

and fisheries-they are all subject 20
government orders and 90 a large ex-
tent actually managed under the cen
trai authority"
Under the act which congress IL
now considering, says the City Bank.
our w government could readily du-
plicate the British organization and
produce our proportion, viz: $4,000
000. 600 worth. of war commodities

cation Of ordinary business activities.
