Review,
Morgan City, La.
Dear SIR
There is only one way to get before
the people of your city the real story of
present war conditions, and that is
through full and frank statement to
you.
As secretary Baker has just said, the
lack Of ships is the crux Of our problem
1t was the lack Of ships that caused
Fuel Administrator Garfield to issue
his drastic order closing his embargo
on railroads freight. 1 need not point
out to You that manufacture will be STOP
ped again, regardless of the resulting
chaos in the business world, until we
can get sufficient ships to clear the
freight jam at the Eastern terminals,
whether or not we produce adequate
supplies for our troops in France and
for our Allies is a secondary question
as long as We lack sufficient ships to
carry what we have across the Atlantic
Our present program for shipbuild-
ing calls for six millin tons a year
and that is an irreducible minimum if
we are to do our fair share in the war
The shipping Board has the money, the
materials and the yards to carry out
this 100000 ton program. 1t needs
the men. To build over q thousand
ships year, as planned, it must have an
immense reserve of earnest skilled labor
10 draw on as fast as plant is complet-
ed and the yards and housing provided.
The shipping Board has announced
its plan for the immediate creation of
the United States shipyard Volunteers
reserve force Of 100000 skilled
mechanics enrolled for service on de.
mand. The four Minute Men began the
campaign on January 2Sth. 1t is IN
to you to keep it going until everv
skilled mechanic in your city knows the

nation s vital need Of his services and
has had chance to volunteer.
Tell your people the story-tha' II
is ships that will win the war, Tel
Them tile need Of men in tie yards
that earnest skilled labor is the one
elements needed to assure the success OF

rot for immediate service ii the vart:S,

from time to time, as men are required
to 20. definite jobs in definite yards
al .lefinite times. Tell them that the
man who can handle tool can serve
his ountry:-that he will be trained IN
the wards for work akin to his own
trade. Tell them that patriotism calls
calls on the most efficient, steadlest ar
tisans in America to volunteer; calls
on their fellow citizens to value ser
vice in the shipyards as it deserves and
to honor the shipbuilders as they honor
the men in the trenches.
The shipyard Volunteers are assured
Of generous wage from the day they
enter as a shipyard. They will also be
placed in a deferred class in the draft
as long as they are working Oh ships.
With these inducements, it should not need
much appeal to patriotism to persuade
them to enroll; and yet in many respects
patriotic appeal is the most important.
For the shipyard needs not stream OF
restless, apathetic shirkers flowing in
at one gate and out at the next, with
no profit to themselves and less to their
country, but a band Of enthusiastic,
earnest workers eager to serve their
country by building ships, till victory
in the war crowns their efforts, rival
ing each other to drive the most rivets-
realizing that every rivet is a nail in
the Kaiser's coffin.
The crisis in the nations affairs
should be understood and faced fairly
and squareiy by the entire nation. The
facts should be made public, to the end
that those trained mechanics who are
The backbone of every manufacturing
business may come forward TO enroll,
and that the Importance OF their work
in the shipyard may be thoroughly re-
coenized by their present employers.
l believe that when the business men
in the United States understand tho
roughly that their plants can work only
on part time, either because Of enforced
holidays or because Of railroad embar-
goes, they will be willing to cooperate
in furnishing these men.
believe also that if the men them
selves understand that not one of them
is assured Of continuous employment
until these ships are built, they will be
more anxious to aid in this work.
l know of no other way in which
these facts can be laid before the ma
ton than by taking this matter up direc-
tly with you. l understand thoroughly
the tremendous strain being placed up
on your organization by the continuous
calls of help from the various depart
ments of the government, but | also
believe that you realize thoroughly that
the fate of the nation i'll this war de-
ponds upon these ships.
l am therefore asking that through
your news columns and through your
editorials, you continuously drive home
these facts to the public.
Yours very truly,
FRANK B. LORD,
| Assistant to Chairman Of the Board

BETS PREVENT A
SUGAR FAMINE

The war has demonstrated one
fact clearly home grown sugar is
feeding the nation. Thirty-five states
comprising four fifths of total area
of us. must depend on home grown
sugar until end of year and large
portion Of this area for much
longer period.
The beet sugar output comes just
at the season when output from 9th
er sources Is exhausted.
II It were not for American beet
sugar supplying the market today.
an absolute sugar famine would pre-
vail.
And yet a year ago there were
agiators among the farmers saying
don't raise sugar beets ostensibly to
force higher price.
But sugar beets have saved the
day and next year the acreage should
be greatly increased to strengthen
the industry to meet the after war
competition \
Reports from different sections Ct
the west indicate favorable reac-
ten towards sugar beet growing as
experience of many farmers IL
