Completion of Common Eco homie and Industrial Pro-
 gramme Undertaken
UNIFIED PLAN IS
 ALREADY OPERATING
Details Were Withheld From Public Until It Was Actually in Operation. Coordination of Governments
 the Basic Principle

Washington, October ?. The long planned centralized control of all the economic forces of the nations fighting Germany Is at last a fact.
 It applies the principles of the unified military command to raw materials manufactured, raw products, shipping, financ- ing, food and the export and import relations of the United States and the co-belligerents.
 The plan was worked out by President Wilson's so-called war cabinet and the allied missions It has been approved by the President and the premiers of the entente nations.
 No announcement of it's consummation has been made here, in fact it has rather been withheld from publicity Some of it's details and the fact that it actually is in operation have become known through developments in Paris and Lon don.
 Co-ordination of effort by the associa- ted government in addition to the miii- tary and naval activity, amounting to centralized control is built around the five inter-allied councils, war, shipping, munitions, food and finance Unde, these special bodies completion of common economic and industrial pro- gram is now being undertaken, prtncl- nal l1N in n1 Paris l.1I to the following cases:
 COMMON PROGRAMME
 Where two or more governments are interested in supplies which must be transported overseas to supplement de- ficiencies in local production: Or whei, several sources oi supplies shall be agreed upon together with the allotment and method of their distribution or utiii- zaton or where there might withom agreement be competition between gov ernments in procuring supplies or wasteful duplication of productive ef- fort.
 The programs will be CO., ordnated with finance through the inter-allied finance commission; with shipping through the inter allied shipping council and with export and import relations through an inter allied board made up of heads or representatives of the American war, trade board and similar departments of the other governments.
 Subordinate to the inter-allied coun. cils are being organized commodity com mttees or executives. While the inter- allied councils are composed of men or so-called ministerial or cabinet rank. the committees will be made up of men of lesser position but experts in their particular commodity.
 The committees will deal directly with all materials and commodities for the prosecution of the war. These include nitrates. tungsten and tin. in- pooling agreements for which have recently been effected in Paris and London; non-f ferrous metals, iron ana steel hides and leather rubber. wool and all other raw materials or manu- factured products of which there may
