Town Criers Plan Liberty Loan Drive
The Minot Town Criers Club held
an interesting meeting at the Associa-
ton of Commerce rooms at which
plans were laid for the next Liberty
Loan drive which comes in April.
Many suggestive and unique ideas
were presented by members of the
Club and a Committee consisting of
C. D. See, A. F. Bacon, H. j. Bauch-
ant and w. S. Shaw were appointed
to arrange the details with reference
to some stunt or stunts that will assist
in the promotion of the next Loan
campaign. The committee will well
come suggestions from the public and
it is hoped that Minot will succeed
in pulling off something that will be
both novel and effective. Judging
from the progressive spirit and enter
prise which has always characterized
the work Of the Town Criers we be-
ieve that Minot may we'll watch the

its early days, and we will have much
confusion which viii take long time to

Senator Weeks was asked to 60 little
more into detail concerning what he con-
sidered the high lights Of some Of the
major problems.
"Take our shipping interests" he con-
tinued AT the end of the war the Amer
lean merchant fleet is most likely to be
larger than that of any other country. 1t
will be largely owned by the Government.
Our Government will own some Of the
greatest shipbuilding plants in the world
which we have constructed primarily for
war purposes, but it Is safe to say that
these plants will have capacity in after
tie war conditions sufficient to build and
repair the merchant fleets Of all countries.

period, to lapse, or are we to develop ii

Before the war out of total produc-
ton Of $4,000, OO0, 900 we found it neces-
sary to secure foreign markets for some
thing like 81, OO0,O 900 Of our products.
Manufacturing capacity, indeed the entire
productive capacity of the country, has
been increased enormously since the be-
ginning Of the war. II it is to be oper-
ated to its full capacity, especially when
the demands for munitions of war cease
and this army of workers and vast amount
Of machinery enter the field Of industrial
production, the United States will quite

Sees Possible Hard Times.
"Markets must be found for this surplus
production and they must be foreign mar
kets. IL these markets are not found there
will necessarily be great slackening in
every productive industry in the United
States. This will mean O consequent re-
duction of employees and employment, the
closing down Of factories, &c. 1t means
hard times.
"Are we not to foreseo this possibility,
nay, this probability How are we to
avoid it unless We are prepared against

featuring plants and other establishments

10. Housing conditions and the DISPOSE
ton of houses constructed by the
Government during the war.
II. War legislation now on the statute
books, with reference TO its repeal,
extension or amendment.
IL. And in general all matters necessarily
arising during the change from the
activities of war to the pursuits Of
peace, including those that may be
referred to it by the Senate or
House Of Representatives.
"The United States can no longer ignore
tho reconstruction problem" said Sen
ator Weeks, when interviewed on his bill
even if the majority of the people do
not visualize the important necessity they
certainly can have no good reason for op-
posing the projected forethought of those
whose business it is TO prepare for the i'm
mediate fut;:->> When peace comes it will
not give us any time for preparation. If
history repeats itself, as it doubtless will,
peace may be upon us with dramatic sud
denness similar to that which forced the
war upon us. In one day the whole world
scene will change.
Our Nation Only One Inactive.
"The United States is the only nation
engaged in war that is not eonstruetively
getting ready for peace conditions. Nearly
three years ago conferences were held by
the Allies at which certain general princi-
pies were adopted in regard to trade con-
ditions after the war, the relationship Of
one Power to another, the relationship Of
the Allies TO friendly countries, neutral
nations and the enemy governments. Sim
liar conferences were held by the Central
Powers.
"1n Great Britain and to some degree in
Germany. separate ministries have been
established to assume charge of recon-
struction. In Germany, if the evidence
have is correct, three such ministries have
been organized and in England one has
been created
"My idea is to have the committee em-
ploy experts to collect evidence and to
assist otherwise in a thorough study Of
every phase Of this vast subject. We must
know in detail what all European coun-
tries are doing, and we must know what
it Is possible for us to do.
Look at the character of the men Great
Britain has called to a responsible con-
sideration Of reconstruction. There the
committee on commercial and industrial
policy after the war is headed by Lord
Balfour of Burieigh; the committee on
agricultural policy by the Earl of Sell
bourne; the committee on forestry by +.
d. Ackland, Member Of Parliament.
These committees make their reports to
the Prime Minister and in many cases
the interim reports have recommended
legislation which I understand is under
consideration. They have been in opera
ton for more than two years.

we shall lose great part of the CONNER
