Furnishing of food to the ar my, Sen
ator Week said, has had tire mendous
success due to General Sharpe" He
also praised Gen Crozier chief of ordnance
saying he had often asked Congress for
more ordnance appropriations, but that
sentiment in the country prevented
appropriations. Gen. Crozier, however,
he declared, was partly responsible for
deficiencies in machine guns and light
ordnance.
Reliance upon France for ordnance
and other materials he said twas very
doubtful wisdom" and the powder stu
alton was described as acute, with half
of American production under contract
TO the Allies and our total capacity not
half of our needs.
Aviation work, the senator conceded,
has been carried out intelligently and
systema tically.
while the actual number of machines
constructed, F." he said, does not compare
favorably with impressions given the
public, it is represented that production
will bc very rapid"
Although praising efforts of tho War
Department toward organization, Senator
Weeks said Edward r. Stettinius. the
civilian surveyor of purchases is in an
impossible position and that the adj
is throwing away an oppor-
tunity to make an effective organization
by rejecting a plan for a munitions
director.

CHAM BER Of COMMERCE
Will Talk on Industrial Conserva.
ton at the Luncheon Next
Tuesday at Noon.

| Ellis l., Rowland will address the men,
| bers of the Wilmington Chamber of
| Commerce at their noon day luncheon At
| the Hotel du Pont next Tuesday. He
! is a special representative of the National
| Industrial Conservation Movement of
| New York CITY, which is endeavoring
to prepare American industry for peace
and war
Mr. Rowland is one Of the editors of the
New York journal of Commerce and
secretary Of the Motor Truck Club of
America As writer and lecturer on
economic subjects. he has gained wide
repute and his articles on trade subjects
arc accepted as gospel by leading business
men of the country. \ keen analyst by
nature, he has nevertheless retained his
optimism regarding the future OF American
industry. although this optimism docs not
carry him 10 the limit of ignoring certain
grave perils which American business
must overcome IN order to insure the
successful prosecution of the war and the
continuance of the country's prosperity
after the war
Industry IN America today, said
| Mr. Iiowland in q recent interview, has
shown It's readiness To place yatnotism
above profits, and public service above
the almighty dollar 1t has done every
| thing in its power TO aid the government
in It's hour OF stress; but before 1t is in
position To play its full part in the war,
and cope with the problems Of the recon
struction period after the war, the public
must be made to feel its responsibility
