the demands OF the war bring pro-
duotion Up to only so per cent of
capacity.
With this view there is dissent be-
cause Of one Acknowledgements
for while it is not doubted that the
United States could meet the needs
OF herself and allies for war ma
terials and manufactures, the rail-
road facilities are limited and the
distinction between essentials and
nonessentials ultimately rests with
the railways OF the country and with
the management OF ocean tonnage.
The latter is being handled by the
war trade board through the recent
Presidential proclamation requiring
licenses for exports and imports.
McAdOo's Policy.
So far as can be learned. Director
General McAdoo's policy il to give
priority to war materials and TO give
space on his trains to non-essentials
whenever cars are not needed to carry
war supplies. Frequently II happens,
however. that such non-esscntlals are
already en- route when war materials
are relay for shipment. But, it is
sked, il there is no tonnage at sea
board. why jam the freight terminals
with stuff for which there IS no ship
ping? This illustrates the compleXity
of the problem. and IL must not be for
gotten that each one OF the officials
whose views are summarized above
possesses a certain amount of power.
All will naturally function with their
own particular view OF the situation
as the right one.
Nothing hurts business so much az
uncertainty. Even the heads of non
essential industries who have been IN
Washington complain that while they
believe the Government should not

much better TO fix n definite policy

OF necessary articles.
Full OF Argument.
Washington is full Of argument about
non-essentials but the discussion does
not seem TO be leading as yet TO a clear
statement OF the Governments wishes
and until the Government speaks the
people are obviously unable to tell just
how they are to cooperate. Many Of
hcials who believe in the relentless re-

blaming the newspapers for falling 10

These men claim that expected losses

the performance OF patriotic duty.
