President Is Urged
To Help in Work
Obedience Council


Washington. June 20. Members Of the
Advisory Commission Of the Council Of
National Defence are bringing strong
pressure to bear on the President TO
obtain his personal participation in the
more important deliberations Of the
council and commission. This move, II
is said, is being urged because some Of
the advisory commissioners believe that
the Presidents personal attention to
the affairs of the council would greatly
expedite its work, which has in many
cases been retarded through differences
and questions OF authority.
All authority vested in the Council
Of Defence Is delegated by the Presl-
dent through the members of the Cabl-
net who compose the council. If the
President could person, ly attend 10
work Of the council. IT pointed out.
he could by executive o.der advance
much Of the work of the advisory com
mission which is now delayed on ac-
count Of the hcsitancy OF some oil the
executive heads 10 move without pro
longcd discussions with the heads OF
other departments.
Plans for a general tightening up Of
the organization Of the Council OF VA
tional Defence are now nearly COM
pleted. This. in the main, will mean
that the work Of the subsidiary units
of the organization will be centralized
to greater degree in the more impor-
tant committees Of the advisory com
mission. Much Of the subcommittee
work will be centred in the General
Munitions Board, which, it is stated,
IS destined TO greatly oSpand is neld

The programme of the aircraft pro
Guction board. which contemplated the
manufacture of about $4,000 acceptance
within the next twelve months, IS be
ing somewhat retarded. it Is reported,
through the unwillingness of certain
officials Of the Navy Department 10 CO

officials was reflected recently by Sec
rotary Daniels. it is stated. when he
informed a questioner that he did MT

Washington. June 26.-One weapon
the production Of which is almost sure
TO delay the sending OF large army
TO France. is the machine gun. This
country has been scandalously neglect
full of machine guns in the past; so
much so that when the war broke out
the army was practically without them
Ii had a few heavy machine guns and
couple Of hundred light ones, OF the
Lewis type. obtained through the kind
ness of England for Pershing's eXpsdI-
ton into Mexico.
All its other guns. and there we're
only a few Of them, were nearly worth
less. And now, although the official
statement of the Creel COMMITTEES says
that the President knew as long ago
a. last December that war was likely,
the authorities are only just waking
UP to the difficulties Of obtaining an
adequate supply Of machine guns.
The demand for this weapon is
steadily increasing The war is every
day developing new uses for II. 1t vas
announced recently that the machine
gun is now being employed for in
direct fire, that is 10 say. it is Gle
waited so as to rain shot on the
trenches. precisely as field guns are,
instead OF being only used TO fire
straight at advancing columns. II this
is so a prodigiors addition to the scope
Of the machine gun has been made,
which will greatly increase the demand
for il.
But whether any such radical de-
velopment has taken place or not, the
military authorities have been steadily
charging their conception of the num-
Der of machine guns a company of men
should have. The result is that pro-
duction hardly keeps pace with the de-
mand. And now the War Department
finds that it will need $780, 900 of these
weapons and that it will have 10 create
the industry of manufacturing them.

Shipping Control Plans

The bunker coal regulation. It was
pointed ou., will be an effective means
Of controlling practically all shipping
which touches at American ports. 1t
was said that later the government, in
COOPERATION with Great Britain, may
formulate. certain conditions for all
vessels enjoying the bunker coal privi-
lcge whereby their cargoes and destlna-
tons would be subject to direction.
The question of licensing all exports
to European neutrals, which, as far as
food exports are concerned, may
eventually take the shape of scheme
of rationing, has been the subject o.
the liveliest discussion in neutral cir
cles for several days. Although in
some quarters there has been bitter
comment coupled with predictions OF
dire happenings in the event the United
States used export control TO effect
nolitical aims, this was considerably
allayed BIZ President Wilson's state
mon, last night. II is known that some
of the European neutrals have already
